Anybody got the time?
Sweet Lord, where does it all go. One moment it's Sunday, the next I'm scrambling around trying to get all my work done for deadlines tomorrow. I was most pleased with myself yesterday as I did a 10km run, but paid the consequences and had to have a wee afternoon nap. I woke up not hurting at all, and really wish I had more time today to pay the gym a visit, but they may have to wait until tomorrow and the weekend, when I've handed in all my work. Still have three things to do for tomorrow and I have to dash off to a tutorial now. I just wish that I had time to actually enjoy the assignments instead of frantically rushing around piecing information together.
Highlight of my week, well I have two. The first has to be our Plant lecturer. He gave the most outstanding lecture, that I probably would pay to see again. I cannot describe how funny it was, and most people probably wouldn't get the jokes, but he likened the Angiosperms way of surviving to atrocious crimes such as prostitution and GBH (both involving orchids!!). You'll just have to take my word for it that we were crying with laughter.
My other highlight? 90% for my Chemistry Practical. I still hate Chemistry, and my marks will get worse. I reckon I was just lucky. This week has been very busy, with 5 deadlines, which makes it the most demanding by far (with exception to examinations, of course), so not much fun has been going on. Actually, saying that, we did miss our coach back to campus on our Plant trip, which was quite amusing at the time. We had to get a regular bus, and as we were all students, we are all used to walking and had no idea where we were going. It took us about 15 min milling about like sheep around the timetable to decide on the correct bus to clamber on to. Yeah, that was the funniest thing that happened to me this week...I missed the coach.
Wait, now I'm remembering things. We saw a giant lily pad in the pond section of the Botanical Gardens Greenhouses, which someone mentioned could hold the weight of a small child. The weight of a small child you say? How convinient that there was a child, that had the weight of a small child, standing near to us....and no we didn't test our hypothesis as good scientists should, the parents gave us withering looks, so we backed off.
Anyway...a rather haphazard entry, my thoughts are not all together, neither do I feel particularly like entertaining. I think I need a bit of me time.
