Ok, so it's saturday, and i said i'd have this up thursday, so sorry about that.
And yes, i am aware that it means that i haven't updated all week but i've been BUSY! Started biochemistry this week... and in the first lecture there was one of the lads sitting 2nd row from to front at an angle so that he was in direct line of the lecturer fast asleep. Literally. His head was about half an inch from hitting the desk. Of course once we, "we" being me, Amelia, Rosie and Amy, noticed this, we kept one ear on the lecture whilst taking bets as to if and when he was going to hit his head, wake up or get yelled at. See... told you 9 starts are a bad idea...
Taekwondo on Tuesday night. Which was fun. i didnt pull/twinge/amputate/break my knee... first time for everything, right? But saying that i did have a faint spell. Y'know, one day i'll get through a tuesday session without causing some ssort of damage to myself... promise...
It's nice to know that people who hang out with you actually care about you, and don't just do so for the hell of it. And it can be anything, like sending a text, simple calling someone because they want to talk, making sure that you get home safe or offering a shoulder, y'know? And sometimes it's nice when they realise that you need what they offer when you haven't. It just makes moving away from home that much easier i guess.
Got another taekwondo tournament coming up forst weekend of december. Neil is currently trying to get everyone to take part in it, as its a university individual contest, as opposed to a club national team contest like the last one. I think i should unforseen injuries aside, be taking part in that one. It's being held in Liverpool, and it's an overnight deal, on account that Neil said he'd take us out in the evening and he, according to him, is a cheap drunk. Bless him. But yeah, that should be fun.
Course, with that happening that weekend, my nana's christmas meal thing the next weekend then coming home the weekend after, i have very little time for actually doing christmas shopping. Crap, christmas shopping! What the hell am i going to get people?!
Thursday we did a mycology practical. And it was really fun. We got back our air samples that we took form last week, and on one of the disks, the sample from a lift in the main building of the uni, was a fungal colony that one of the professors identified as being quite dangerous, especially to diabetics, as if breathed in by them at the concentration that we had it at could cause serious respiritory problems or even death. GREAT (!)... And this is in a LIFT! I think i'll just take the stairs from now on...
Taekwondo was pretty fun on Thursday. It was frigging freezing outside, but i had had a 5 lecture, so was already on site. So i thought what the hey, i have my stuff, i'll just stay in the warmth until the session starts. Only about half the club turned up. Maybe just over. Anyway, we were doing a load of curcuit training type things. But it was done as relay races. So there were ones like "run to this pillar and do 10 situps, then run to the next pillar and do 10 pushups, and then run the bottom of the room and do 10 squat thrusts and sprint back" That one hurt. But then we went on and had a leapfrog race, and a wheelbarrow race. And then we went on to do some kicks, the most of which were just for the hell of doing them. Like a running jumping side kick over 4 pads.
And then Neil decided that he wanted to show off and do 3 kicks in the air before coming back down. 2 were easy enough, it was one of the things that he had us doing. He was just going to put a turning kick on the end of it. Of course, the guy holding the pad for the turing kick would be in the most danger, as he'd be coming back down instead of being at the top of the arc. So he got the guy with the broken nose that has yet to be corrected because of the type of break it was to hold this last pad. And he's not allowed to take part in sparring at the moment incase he gets hit in the nose. So yeah, good choice there Neil! But I got through the session without fainting, almost fainting or hurting any necessary body parts.
Friday... Um, lectures. Boring, same old same old. Except i may have sorta kinda ate 2 bags of skittles in the last 2 lectures. With help, but still. And there was a chance that during the last lecture i got a litte hyper, but not obviously. I know, i know, wonders will never cease. Don't worry, as soon as i was out of there i became, ok, aconcerned friend cos one of my mates, who hadn't been looking all that good that day, said he felt faint, and so me being me walkeed him back to his place and made sure he was ok before allowing all that hyperness to take over. See... i can control it, for the most part.
Got in, only to find Helen as hyped up as i was, and without the aid of anything as far as i could tell. Until she mentioned that she had been waiting for me to get in to see if i wanted to go see Harry Potter. So yeah, saw that last night. Um, please don't kill me... And i wont say anything about the film at all... Just BLOODY HELL WAS IT MINT!!!!! *Gags self to prevent anything else being said on subject*
Lab reports. D'you have any idea how boring they are to write?! And i've got 7 to write up so far, and getting another at least 5, possibly 6 more before christmas. Joys upon joys. Anyway, got to get back tot them... they don't write themselves.
Kinda long, i guess... but not as long as i thought it was going to be. Ah well.
