Will The Sexy Cyberwomen Please Stand Up?

"...Holding on to you  To keep from falling Your eyes are closing now Another chapter's ending This is our last goodbye, This is our time tonight..."

Such an eventful week tis was! Okay, so that is a bit of a lie. Some courses has their reading weeks this week. Our course didn't get one (I know, cry for me lol). Instead we got a lab week! Can I hear a whoop!! Not. It really wasn't that exciting... We were in the lab for about 2 hours a day either looking down the microscope or make dilutions to work out protien concentrations. I must say was thrilling stuff! ... It picked up a bit though on weds eve. Went on a pub crawl with the shooting club; was awesome ^.^ even though was a little messy :) I'm confused now, I can't remember if I mentioned me shooting before... In case I have I'll mention it very briefly (in case I didn't... that makes sence in my head). But yes! About once a week, I'm bundled off in a car and we all go clay pigeon shooting! It's so much fun and I love it so much :) This is the first time I've been introduced to it but I seem to be picking it up alright :) I do break some so aaaall good ;) 

Then thursday. Thursday eve to be exact... It was eventful to say the least. There was an athletics social that I went to. Was fab :) Until the point when I dislocated my knee.

Luckily it popped back into place when I was pulled up by the bouncer, but owie!!! Was very fortunate to be given enough money for a taxi back to my flat but walking form the main road to my flat was a freaking mission and a half!! After suffering through the night, made an appointment at the medical centre to see what they would recommend. I was up from half 6 in the morning and my appointment was at half 11... Longest wait of my life. It was the doc that told me to go A&E and like a good girl i went. Luckily for me, the uni pays for the taxi trip there to the hosp. Was givena beautiful brace to surround my leg and ahve been reunited with my crutches.. Again can I hear a whoop? ...no...just no. Its such a horrible contraption I actually do look like a Dr Who cyberman XD Fantastic end to the week I think... At least they've given me nice strong painkillers :) Which reminds me, I need to get food to take 'em now.... The ironic thing about the shinanegans of thursday eve? The theme was "doctors and parients"... I dressed up as a patient...

Take care my dears... Oh, and happy halloween!

I Miss Your Face....

"...Don't wish it away. Don't look at it like it's forever. Between you and me I could honestly say That things can only get better. And while I'm away, Dust out the demons inside, And it won't be long Before you and me run To the place in our hearts Where we hide..."

I miss last weekend. For the first time since I moved down here in september, I had my first visitor from home :) My baby, L came over to visit! Such a good weekend, got to properly relax since arriving and could set uni life aside for a short while... I hated seeing him go though...I want him back here so badly, but I can't afford to fall behind in studies... So yes, it is his face that I miss. Maybe. :) 

Sadly quite proud of myself though just because I managed to hand in my first essay a day early lol. It was such an interesting topic though. Our tutor let us pick our own topic, so I chose "Sexual Differentiation In Developing Humans" this is an embryonic stage mind. It is fascinating stuff! I didnt know before that the embryo starts off the same sexually regardless whether its a male of female (obviously starts the same but I mean the sex organs develop yet they are still the same)! It is only in the 7th week or there about that it starts changing accordingly and sex can possibly determined at around 11 weeks... But even then it can be wrong. The child could genetically be male but have female genitalia! Wierd, but really interesting... Now I just have to make a start on my next one... Its about techniques aiding in conception, not sure whether to write about humans or about cattle say. Hmm...

Ooooh and excitement! I have a job for just before Christmas. Nasty hours (10.30 pm to 2.30am) but decent pay and you get paid weekly. I'm a keyer for Royal Mail so basicly typing in the postcode of letters into a computer program. Should be fun. Not. It's a job and I really need the money. Having proper problems financially... I have about £190 left before my next student finance instalment comes though...in january Majorly screwed. And I can't ask my parents for help as they are screwed themselves. Dad is still unemployed (for past 6 months) and mum is barely scraping them through... At least I don't have to think about purchasing any more train/bus tickets home. Have sorted them all out now. Am coming home for Christmas for like two weeks and would be my first time home. I say would be, because managed to talk with my dad and I've organised a surprise trip home in November for my brothers birthday. Mum and bro know nothing of it, so should be interesting to see thier reactions! Tbh, my bro prob wouldn't care but he would when he learns that I have a present for him!

Aaaaanyway I shall end my rantings here for now and will let you get back to your much more interesting lives. I'm a bore I know :) I pride myself on it lol

Take care peeps! Hope y'all are well :)

Bruised Like a Peach....

"...Stop stealling my heart away … You’re stealling my heart away. I don’t know where we going. I don’t know who we are. Feels like we are flowing High above the stars, the stars, the stars, the stars..." 

Wow it has been a fair while.. I've missed it too to be honest. It's my therapy, sitting here typing and spewing utter rubbish, but I'm not forcing you to read this. Move on if you so wish...but the company is nice :) Well I like to think I have company... Hang on that makes no sence once written down, it does in my mind though... Hmm... Maybe I should get that checked out! hahah oooooh deaaaar....

Currently I'm in one of those really bizzare moods... I don't really know what to make of it. Hmm.. Oh I don't know. But uni is absolutly fab. I love it here and am actually quite glad I didnt make it to my firm choice! Have lots of work to do though... Have to write two essays by the 22nd of october, so better get cracking as well as a maths test to do online! Should prob make a good start on them before L comes down for a visit on friday (and I am unbelievably excited!). It's annoying though, because one of the essays is formative (doesnt count towards modular mark), the other summative (does count). I had to choose my own title for the formative one, and I'm spending more time on it than the other one! I eventually went with the title of  "Sexual Differenciation of Developing Humans". Really interesting but I'm not sure if I can really pad out 1500 words! Should be fun...

Aaaand I'm finally going home soon! Booked tickets home to go down for my brothers 16th. Only my dad knows too! Mum and brother = clueless! :) Will be the first time home since I arrived on 12th...

But oooh dear, wine does bad things to me! Managed to get through a whole bottle of wine last night and oooooh.... Ended up showing off my ink and peircings to quite a few stranges/students living in same building... Not good! And yes, the pole did tempt me back.. I am ashamed of myself! Much fun though! And surprisingly I am quite enjoying this whole cooking shabang :) I'll be an ace house wife at the end hahahh 

I will end my nonsensical ramblings here and will let you get on with your life :) Take care of yourselves!!
