Posted October 5, 2009 Decided to not go to school today, just couldn't be bothered. Sent a txt to a friend to let her know and she told me she was thinking about doing the same thing. =P So spent my day at home and spent most of my time trying to make a lino print. Kinda failed, but I touched it up to make it look good heh. Had a meeting with a man and his wife about a project I'm working on. I currently have to design a manual and a workbook; I've never designed a book before heh. Plus deadline is very soon, so I have to work lots, plus combine it with my school work. So yeah, stress. *needs a backrub* X3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 5, 2009 Rez; I bought a book at waterstones the other day, only to find my housemate has a copy. Any idea how the points system works with the card? If I go in and say "ohshi-- don't have my card on me" they'll still take the book back, thus leaving the 40p, or whatever teh amount was, on my waterstones card?

Posted October 5, 2009 Sorry to hear that Eddage Today was okay. Did some stuff in the morning and then was like "oh fuck I need to get the train" so ran to the station. Thankfully its down two big hills. Got there and....people making a queue at the vendor and I needed to start a new season pass so couldn't just use machine. Anyway lectures was okay. My student (who I had for both) was a bit...odd but nice enough. He said he was cool with me sitting next to him and when others asked I said I was a scribe for a student but he never piped up. But he took no notes. Weird. Lots of awkwardness in this job. Had a bit of time to kill between the two lectures so did some notes then my friend phoned to say she was on campus. She failed a 2nd year module and they've only just told her this will prevent her from graduating like she should have done. And as it turns out one of my friends (who never turns up) was meant to be in my night lecture too. Gonna finish off some of the notes then food and Dexter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 5, 2009 I feel emotionally scarred today. I think I have confirmed the rumours that the twat at work, known as the GP, goes to the toilet several times to have a wank. This disturbs me when he hands me money for a drink. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 6, 2009 Good day, class seems to be going well. Got picked on in class for being only female, damn them haha. Went to corp, fun night out, but I had to come back early, not been feeling so good recently. Mate poured her heart out to me just now. Weird. Weird. Weird.

Posted October 6, 2009 So, I met this girl, who was on a work experience day with me at PwC. SO WEIRD. Never thought I would see her again. I forgot everything about her and she remembered everything about me. My friends approved and I definitely did. We ended up just kissing because I said I would talk to her tomorrow since I want to take this slow and actually try and last with her rather than a one night stand. This has cheered me up, I'm not as repugnant as my own mind led me to believe Not sure when to text her (she gave me her phone number) or when to add her on facebook. Any ideas? Also, cheers for the once again uplifting facebook message Ash Always expected.... So basically, the amount of red bull I have consumed with alcohol has actually gotten to me. I am awake right now at approximately 5:22am. Its horrid. I hate it. But I'm still really happy. Can't believe I'm awake. Will have to consume more red bull before a lecture tomorrow so I stay awake I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 6, 2009 Red Bull never seems to work on me. At least not that well. I'm glad I sent the missus to Sainsbury's to buy me a 4 pack instead of the ripoff prices we have at work. £2.20 a can. Not sure when to text her (she gave me her phone number) or when to add her on facebook. Any ideas? Does she have your number? A good reason for a text if anything. As for the Facebook, I'd say maybe later today. If you do it tomorrow she might think you might've started to forget about her, and we don't want that.

Posted October 6, 2009 I'm eternally screaming, with a cold, lack of sleep, a "stalker sheet" and alcohol. Oxford is literally stunning me. Freshers week, seems like a distant memory *sighs nostalgically*. But I know how you feel, I spent mine with conjunctivitis, pharyngitis and swine flu. A lovely combination. Didn't stop me going out a few times though. Enjoy it! My day has been quite good I guess. Had one lecture this morning, then had to go and collect my lab equipment, leaving me £35 poorer. I got back home and actually did some work so I'm happy with myself. Plus I'm feeling normal again, I've waited for this day! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 6, 2009 Went into the job centre for my fortnightly meeting. "So you haven't found a job?" "Nope" "But you've been looking right?" "Yeah" "Okay then well that's great, see you in a fortnight!" "Uh.. wha... okay... bye?" So for the rest of the day I applied for a christmas job at Boots... (lame yes but at least it's easy to get out of) and was confronted with the following online question "When you were growing up, did you ever lie to your parents?" - THE FUCK!? The rest of the day was spent on an Arrested Development binge as I rebought the second series after my ex ran off with my original copy (Yes, it's just that good).

Posted October 6, 2009 Getting up at 8am was utter hell today. Literally haven't had to get up at such an atrocious hour for the past 3 months, so it was quite a shock to the system. Lectures were as boring as expected...though my Research Methods tutor? Tell me I've been bad and take me on the desk. Now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 6, 2009 An abrupt awakening this morning as a result of one of the cats knocking things over and getting stuck, resulting in her panicking trying to get out. So had to get up to sort that out. So have been awake since about 5am. Had two lectures and they seemed to pass by quickly enough for me and for most of the day outside of that, I've been reading Hamlet for english. I'm not really feeling it though. Won't be writing on it anyway for my drama essay. That'll either be on the Duchess of Malfi or Measure by Measure. Nearly finished it though so I'll cap that off tonight. Tomorrow, well it's supposed to be a day off (although my lecture timetable would say I have an hour lecture but I'm not going into Uni for a single hour) but I'll be trying to write an essay and then have to do some reading for philosophy. So gonna be a long day tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 6, 2009 Today was weird. Early start so I was in at 9 for a lecture then I spent most of my day working on Shorthand theory (Haggis- this will kill you if you go on that Journalism course) There was a class on it but I'm a unit behind in the book so I walked out after 5 mins and walked to the Library and got back to the book. Seminar on Law was good. We were discussing Juvenile law and how statutes protect minors from being named in the press etc. One of the hypothetical questions was about a teenage girl who stabbed a milkman. This actually happened in Sheffield. The girl the story is based on was in my class at school. When the tutor mentioned it I put my hand up and said 'ooh, yeah! I knew her. That was, um, weird. Yeah. Totally Weird." Was too tired for a real story Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
