Acetape slides are your friends. Even if it's a picture/diagram that's only vaguely related to your talk, it still kills a couple of minutes.

Falling on the way to the stage/front of the class, and dropping your notes in the middle of it'll net you some time too.

They are called Acetates, not Acetapes.

You should know Mr Alf <middle name> Rockhart!

I'm such a hypochondriac.

I've had a bit of a cold all week and a girl in one of my groups at uni emailed to say she has mumps. So, of course, I'm now convinced that the cold is a sign that I'm developing mumps.

And (like all good hypochondriacs do) I've looked up symptoms & stuff of mumps on t'Google and I'm certain that, not only am I getting mumps, but it's going to develop into meningitis.

Or maybe I have leprosy. Or plague. Or cholera. Or SOMETHING.

BOOHOO.

I went to the doctor with a cold, quite convinced that I was going to develop a chest infection and die. She gave me a strange look, then prescribed some antibiotics and sent me on my way.

I like to dramatise though. Before my operation I was sitting wailing, "What if I diiiiiiiiiiie?!" They had to bring my mum in to calm me down.

Why they couldn't have given me drugs to do that is quite beyond me.

I have a French test today, troops! Which I have done very little for, but it's all good. I plan on swotting up on the train and telling that annoying little boy who asks if he smells like meatballs to be on his way.

Yay Computing. I hate Mondays, but at least I get to make pizza next period. Wooh.

talk actually ended up being too long, had to cut out a huge big section when i realised i wouldn't actually have time for it!

i must, however, thank the complete idiot in the department office who clearly didn't quite grasp the fact that inkject printer OHP slides have one rough side for the ink to stick to. thanks to her, my slides were lovely & smudgey. she'll be getting a piece of my mind when i go to get my OHP slides for next weeks talk. i hate this 3rd year thing, its all talks & essays

[linds]

Oh, I'm all giggly and giddy.

Boys are strange creatures. MSN flirting is the best fun ever though.

In other news, I can now play poker. Hoorah!

4 days left before Christmas Holidays start.

only got 2 exams and a full module journal to do by Friday

[Blondie]

I'm tired and sore. Stupid crafting...

[linds]

I'd better get a sodding exemption for French. I got 70% for the reading test, and 81.4% for the listening, and I always get high marks for the self-evaluations because I cheat, so if I get made to sit 5 exams in May, I WILL CRY.

[Alz]

I'm curious...

Has anyone heard anything about the Livingston Designer Outlet(McArthur Glen) bomb threat? <.<

[ice_illusion]

I haven't.

A dangerous beast has escaped from an abbatior up the road from me though. I don't even know what sort of dangerous beast it is.
Maybe the dangerous beast is on a mission to trash McArthur Glen.


Anyone ever have brain dead days? I had one today, kept walking into things, forgetting how to talk, absolutely no motivation at all and was just incredibly thick. I think I'm recovering though, at least I don't feel so depressed.

Is it something sorta like..

A friend was in <insert place> and noticed a man drop his bag/purse/whatever and ran up to catch him and give it to him. They get the man and give him said object. He says "one good deed deserves another, don't be in <insert place> on <insert time> and walks away"

?

YES!

I'm working on the rumoured day it's supposed to hit us, but I've heard stuff about Glasgow and Edinburgh too.

What's the deal with it? The whole centre's been warned, and we're supposed to go to work as normal.
