Sitting here “doing some work” and the people next to me are being very noisy. My favourite quote so far is “Well, I blame it on the bloody lazy landlord. Still, I suppose it’s bad to speak wrong of the dead.”

Woke up this morning and fell asleep again. Woke up this afternoon (lol) to a lovely snowscape outside my window. Yeah, it’s been proper snowing here in Sheffield. Got some photos:
This one is a shot from within the arts tower. It’s flooded and they’ve put buckets down. Don’t know why this is funny. Actually, no [...]

Ha ha! I am dropping APS 313: Global Change. This stupid module is very boring, and requires a 2000 word essay, containing 25-50 references. I have worked it out (as mentioned in a [now deleted] previous entry) and this is one reference every 40 words. Ridiculous.
Instead, I will be taking up “History and Philosophy of [...]

Well, I am so glad this is my final year. At long last I won’t have to worry about reading and references and going to lecture and desperately trying to keep my eyes open. This morning we had a lecture on genetics and relatedness; brothers are more related to you than cousins, for instance. Anyway, [...]

My housemate recently found this:
From a letter to B&Q Customer Service:
Dear Sir/Madam
My congratulations to you on getting a yacht to leave the UK on 28th November 2004, sail 27,354 miles around the world and arrive back 72 days later.
Could you please let me know when the kitchen I ordered 96 days ago will be arriving [...]

Well, just finished my four-lectures-in-a-row day of misery and pain. Rolled out of bed at 8:45, arrived on time for my 9:00 am lecture. Now that’s what I call being efficient in the morning. Takes me ten minutes to get to Uni normally; I made it in 5. My personal theory is that time slows [...]

I was mid-way through my ecotoxicology exam today, when some thoughts occurred to me about conserving the environment and how it might relate to Christianity. (This wasn’t entirely irrelevant, since ecotoxicology is the study of man-made chemicals and how they interact with environmental systems.) There are more important things to worry about, but I do [...]

Ha ha! My housemate got given the book Eats, shoots and leaves for Christmas, and it’s marvellous. Below is a link to an extract. This book should be given out to GCSE school leavers, with a legal requirement to read it on pain of terrible, terrible death.

Ok, wikipedia looks like the most complicated site in the world. This is mainly because, in accordance to today’s instant culture, I have spent all of five seconds trying to figure it out. But hey. Anyway, I was reading over their ‘anti-rules’ section, and it’s hilarious. Completely disorganised chaos has occurred, all over the page.
