blog #23

haha, the second blog in as many days. i went out today. for the first time in 3 day. yup, i spent 72 hours in the house, not leaving. the only fresh air i got was when i opened the window in my room, and when i took out a bag of rubbish. bad times.

but i went to a coffee place and had a bagel. and coffee. obviously. then came home again. but it was nice, being out and all that. refreshing. even though it was raining. i had wet hair though, so it was quite nice.



but erm, yeah. thats about it i think.. i guess i just figured that me going out the house was worthy of a post. and it was. im now going to go to bed, in order to get up at 5 and finish this damn work off. im so tired! i got woken up at 4.52am this morning by torrential rain.
silly, i was wide awake at 4.52am after that.. i should have got up to work then.. i have an afternoon presentation tomorrow, and i have to finish the sheet i have to present. joy..



thankyou

third blog of may, and im sat in front of britains got talent, and the man who plays the remix of the star wars theme tune has just been on, and although i dont like what he does, i dont think its fair or nice for an audience of hundreds to be ripping him apart. or for the judges to be horrible to him. its painful for my heart goddammit. :(
people should not be horrible to vulnerable people.

but on a nicer note, i have lots of work to do! i have some things i have to do tomorrow or else. or else my group will kill me cos its my share of the group work i have to to be printing and stuff.



but then, after my work is all handed in and stuff, im going to copenhagen! my passport arrived a couple of days ago, which was a huge relief, cos i only applied for it a month before i was due to be flying.. and there were possible complications with stuff, like my photo and stuff. so phew. but really, all i had to say was that people shouldnt be horrible to people on live tv, and audiences shouldnt chant 'off! off! off!', cos thats mean.



thankyou

so, we're nearing the end of may. and this is only my second post this month. it stopped being so sunny for a while. and i cant remember if i said this in the last post, but i managed to photograph lightning. which was pretty cool.

ive been coughing my guts up for the last 3 days, and im not impressed. the month has been good though. in places, not so good.. challenging. but overall i can call it positive. got a new computer too. its a PC, so ive been being careful to make sure i tell my mac that i love it more. (cos i do).

saw a couple of good films.. well, one good, the other cheesy. juno, which i thought was excellent, and the golden compass, which i thought was good, but cheesy. and i got heavy into the soundtrack of juno, and heavily into dexter, the tv show. in fact, the last episode of season 1 is loading as i write this. but im taking a 2 minute tea mission break, cos having tea stops me coughing quite so much.. and its quite painful.. (19.55)

(19.58) ok, so im back. nearly hurling from the coughing but so far so good. and dexter is still taking forever to load. there the tea:



itd better be good. but right now, im signing off. too much coughing and not enough dexter.

blog #20

the first blog of may.. well, its been so sunny! i love it! well actually, no. thats a lie. i dont like it. i dont like the sun. it annoys me. its too hot. im the sort of person who stands in the shade when the sun comes out. but the view from my window is nice (the above picture). i think i just love it when the weather isnt miserable. cos its miserable when its miserable.


i like it when rainbows happen though. this picture is of a particularly beautiful one, but my camera isnt good enough to capture the complete experience.. (it was a full arc).. 27th april

we (8 of the people on my course) have been on several ecology field trips in the last few weeks (3, one each week).. and have done a new and exciting thing each week. the first one was a vegetation survey, the second we went to look at plants and trees in an ancient woodland, and the third we went on a bird walk to identify birds from their calls, and then went to find badgers. which we did! we didnt see any, but we found their set, which was huge, and their hairs in leaves, so we knew they were there! it was a lot of fun..

in following with the theme of ecology, here is the picture of the twig i picked that i judged to be particularly beautiful..



so ive enjoyed that part of my course, which is just as well, because the work is starting to pile up and its getting a little bit more stressful.. and the time of exams is nearly upon us. i only have one. right at the very end of the whole exam period, just before i go to Copenhagen. well, if i do. i dont have a passport yet! so i have to make that happen. and soon.
but for now, ive gone home.. to the family home. i arrived to find that half my family are in fact away, and that theres me, my mum and my brother. and my brother is in trouble, cos he has a party when the parents were out of town, and windows got smashed cos of a gatecrashing... its not as dramatic as it sounds. im more amused by the whole thing, cos my sadistic streak is being rewarded with my brother being punished. which isnt that mean cos he doesnt care..
so yeah, im here for a while.. a couple of days. and i plan to spend my time leisurely doing the odd chore, doing some work (maybe) and lazing about outside (if the weather continues) drinking coffee...

sounds like a plan huh.. yes it does. also: (taken april 17th)



that is all..
