Just now, while studying in the common room, my flatmate the astrophysicist in-training walked in to brew a mug of coffee.

Cheerful worried chit-chat was cheerful and worried (mofo exams start on Monday ahahaha) and I showed her the stuff I was working on.

Doing Japanese grammar at 1 ay emm, I'm so hardcore.

Anyways, while she was leaving, she said ( Read more... )

I was thinking, what sort of bored, sad person would sit for an hour and watch a show about the sheepdog of the year competition?

I realised rather belatedly that I was in hat category. And since the show was in Gaelic, I had to read subtitles.

Managed to turn it off  after 20 minutes, with an act of will because it got really addictive really fast ( Read more... )

Steamed sea bass oriental style, and fried it right up (right up ( Read more... )

It's 2 am, and from my window I can see some lights are on in some of the other student rooms. Hahaha, they're busy studying for the exams in two weeks ( Read more... )

A pictorial review of 2010, it’s the last day of the year but irritatingly I’ve not written nearly enough to make this memorable year remembered (memorized?). It’s the 31st, it’s the 1st already back home (and has been for some hours). How is this being written? you may ask. Ought you not be busy, outside in relatively mild weather and a pretty ( Read more... )

Fuck, this weather.

My sister's here to visit me for a week and a bit, and tonight's her first night of winter.

It's not even nine yet, but the temperature's minus nine.

:( She has three sleeping bags on, and I sneakily layered two of my thickest coats on her. I have one duvet. Might grab a thin blanket. I went to pick her up at the airport Friday ( Read more... )

Hey, everyone. It's been a long absence (over a month!) because once again I got convinced that my brain was a lot smarter than I was. A lot of desperately, desperately brilliant things happened as well as some pretty crap things and it'd suck if I didn't write it down. Don't want to forget all of it, ten years from now. Or twenty, even. It's ( Read more... )

For the past four weeks I've been missing two hours of classes each week because of a timetable issue.

The teacher said she'll try and do a replacement for me, and it's not worked out. She and I both were too busy.

So I get called in to meet the Unit Co-ordinator, who tells me there's nothing he can do, since it's a structural issue, and the teacher ( Read more... )

I'm playing catch up with everything right now. With school, with this. With life? I'm running a little behind. But rushing after the bus is good exercise.

Also. I told my family the story my teacher told me, of a student who took the Trans-Siberian Express from Japan to England. Then told them the cost of the trains necessary.

And was heartily ( Read more... )

Day three and four together, just barely in time for Wednesday, aha.

Today's topics are my parents and what I ate today. It was irritatingly hard to put words to thoughts, which in itself is a strange expression. Thoughts are in words already, 'm not interpreting the world in colour, or what.

But I digress. Point at hand, is, oh mi familia!
( ... My parents ate my homework. I swear. )
