Well, I just had my wisdom teeth removed from my top jaw. I can't feel the sides of my mouth at the moment (since the anaesthetic hasn't worn off) and it feels really odd when I swallow anything.
Coupled with the filling I had last friday, this is the second dental procedure I've had in quite rapid succession. All in all, it's not as bad as I might ( Read more... )

Well, it's over for another year. Last assignment in, last deadline met, no more university work until September.

Sort of. My trip to Peru only technically counts as uni work. I certainly won't be thinking of it as uni work. It's so close now...so very close.

Vampire on Tuesday night was cool. I had my character being as plot active as possible in ( Read more... )

So, as some of you will be aware I spent much of this week in Leeds at morticutor 's place. All in all it wasn't a bad few days; I am now in possession of one Pirates of the Spanish Main RPG, for which I ran a playtest-ey kind of adventure. I also took part in my first ever game of Witchcraft (which, incidentally, was the first time I've been a player and ( Read more... )

Well, that's it. My ecology exam is done and with it my exams for this year. I only have one more assignment to finish, which is the zoo project (see my last post). While I can never be sure, I'd say that today's exam went pretty well. I did substantial revision and managed to write three and a half pages for each of the two questions (and my ( Read more... )

It's been ages since I've been to a zoo, but yesterday was my last field trip of the academic year, which took me to Edinburgh Zoo.

And it was great fun. Okay, there was work involved, since the trip was part of the main practical assignment for Animal Physiology and the range of species we got to spend any time observing was quite limited as a ( Read more... )

My first exam of this season is over with.
Gone.
Finished.
Dead.
And Buried.

Well maybe not that extreme. But still, I'm glad to be able to wake up tomorrow morning and not have that sword hanging over my neck. The module in question was Biotechnology With Applied Biochemistry, and it was just about as tedious as it sounds. In all honesty I don't ( Read more... )

Sorry.

But it's been nice and sunny out today, and I've been stuck inside all damn day writing a project proposal for my Research Methods module. While I remain very enthusiastic about my upcoming research project in Peru, I can honestly think of better things to be doing than typing up an outline of it on a day like this.
Here's a (very brief) ( Read more... )

Okay, this week I havea genomics quiz to do for Genetics & Evolution. 
I have downtime feedbacks to write for Carlisle LARP. 
I have a project proposal to complete for friday (though since my last one got a magnificent 83%, I'm feeling pretty confident about it).
I have to revise for my Biotechnology exam which is at 9:30 monday morning.

But before all ( Read more... )

So last night was character generation for the latest game to join the Newcastle Camarilla: Mortals.
Mortals is arguably the most unique of the gamelines which the Camarilla runs, since it is the only one in which the characters are completely devoid of any supernatural powers. No Disciplines, no Magic, no Gifts, Transmutations or supernatural ( Read more... )
