A few words before I continue on...

I'm finishing my last piece of coursework for the year which was due last Wednesday.  Basically if I hand it in tomorrow I get 20% taken off, but hey that means I could still get 80%! If I don't hand it in tomorrow I'll get 0%.  I couldn't actually have done it for Wednesday because of large System Design Project (Sleep Deprivation Party) which is worth so much more than this coursework.  Then I slept for a very long time until Saturday afternoon, worked on it a bit until Saturday evening, then went to a party until Sunday morning, where I crashed on my friend's couch.  I then slept until Sunday noon, went to the labs and worked on it until Sunday evening, and went to a dinner party.  I cut out on the pub and came back to do more work.  Then I went home for 4 hours of sleep.  Then I got up for my interview, which I think went ok, then I did some more work and I'm still doing some more work.

In other news, it's been raining for the past 3 days pretty much non-stop.  Which wouldn't be much of a problem except for the fact that there is a big fucking hole in the sole of my shoe (insert picture here). 

*clears throat* ahem.
There's a hooooole in my soooooole that's been making my socks wet, it's a place, where water always gooeeees....

Yeah so it's ok unless I step in a puddle.  However, seeing as it's been raining for 3 days a large part of Edinburgh is puddle.  And the cobblestones makes mini puddles everywhere.  So, in fact, it's not ok.  I need to get duct tape.

It's a vicious cycle as I've been taking my shoes off and stuffing paper into them to dry them out a bit, and dry my socks while I walk around in them letting the carpet soak them up (this is all in the labs as I'm hardly anywhere else), but then I'll need to go to the shop for some bananas or caffeine and my shoe gets soaked and we start allll over again...

Anyway, I'm going back to my coursework 'cause when I get it done I'll be able to sleep.  I've already had a latte, a cup of tea, and half a bottle of Dr Pepper today.  This is extreme for me.

The stuipd programer strieks again!

Yeah, make sure you know what 'static' means before littering your
classes with it.

*bangs head off table*

It's been disturbing me for about 20 hours.

If that's what it takes, that's what I'll do....

Those of you who started singing when they read the subject line of this post have been listening to too much Bon Jovi!

I slept for 17 hours last night... after being awake for 35! I was doing lots and lots of work and finished at noon yesterday, but didn't go to sleep for fear of waking up in the middle of the night which I hate so I kept myself occupied by going to the Forest Cafe with Adam and Tom and eating baked beans on toast and then just sitting there talking to Adam while Tom slept. It was nice... but then we couldn't get up because we just... couldn't.

Then eventually I went back to the labs and wrote out a few e-mails to do with karate/my self defence for girls project/martial arts webpage martial arts, went home, had dinner and a shower, and went to bed at 8, thinking I'll wake up around 9 this morning and congratulating myself on my great timing.

I might've woken up at 9, but if I did I went straight back to sleep and woke up at 1.

I a pretty weird dream where I dreamt that I had a terrible illness and only one day to live, and I was perfectly fine with it. Not much time to panic when you only have one day to live! But then I was like "oh no, I have to write e-mails to my friends so they'll know I died!"....
... because, you know, I couldn't just call them.

It's a thing though, that I worry about... when I haven't heard from someone in a while I think "Oh my god, what if they died and I just didn't know????" and it's pretty horrible.

Anyway, I've got to go as it's the karate AGM tomorrow and I've got to type up an agenda. I've already typed up the Secretary's report, printed out vote slips, and changed the Blues constitution! I'm such an ace secretary. I'm glad I won't be secretary next year.

Love is volcanic...

Won two gold medals on Sunday, yay!

Working my eyes out on three different assignments... one due tomorrow, two due Friday.  Then I have another one due on Wednesday, extended from Friday.  Also I have to program some things for my robot.  Which is now alive!  It moves!  It's fantastic.  It's also a beast.  And a scarab.  And a bumblebee.  And a scorpion...

As for the above subject line... I don't know.  I think I might've heard it somewhere before.  I like the mental imagery of natural violence and fire and rocks.

I just woke up from a 3 hour nap...

I missed a tutorial that's taken by one of my friends from karate. :/

Back to work!

You have to keep dreaming or the world will eat you.

Snow!

Snow!

It's snowing!
