BUT YAY. Glad you've come back to us.
Sorry about the no-show last week, I was in Glasgow, or Aberfoyle. Somewhere Scottish.
So yeah, back at Uni.
Arrived here on last Friday, been lecturing since Monday.
The Saturday before I went up to Scotland for friendly purposes. Got very drunk with my dad the day before, which resulted in me vomiting behind a petrol station in Glasgow and at the side of the road on the way to Aberfoyle.
Went on lovely walks and saw lovely sights in Aberfoyle.
Went to lovely pubs and saw lovely bars in Glasgow.
Heavily recommend The Book Club, some may say its too 'consciously cool' others might say - shuddup, it's pretty and has a ping pong table and old video games.
Being back in Edinburgh has been gorgeous.
Went out on Friday. All the drinking.
Went to Georgie's on Saturday for a lovely wee party.
Juan's briefly on Sunday for his birthday.
Had him and a bunch of others over on Monday. I cooked risotto for eleven, Richard cooked two upside down cakes, we drank a silly amount of wine, exchanged our Secret Santa presents, played charades. Beaut.
Didn't unpack until yesterday. Last night being the first night I actually slept in my room since getting back. Preferring the sofa / other flat over my wee hovel. (It's all lovely now though.)
OH.
And I've had interviews with some awesome scientist guys and have two summer placements to chose from.
First guy was adorable, he's a neuroscientist and works in using stem cells to treat MS, motor neurone disease and frontal lobe dementia. He chatted away for ages and bought me a coffee.
Second guy was quite nervous and shy, but he gave me a tour of the labs. He works in studying the transcription factors found in hematopoietic stem cell progeny that result in leukaemia.
So yeah. Exciting.
Both said they'd fit me in whenever if I decided to go with them, so I'm gonna go for July onwards so we can party hard in June.
I'm undecided about joint blog.
I think if we take a few weeks, see how we get along on our own - if more people start posting more often, then I reckon we should remain solo.
Merging should only be considered if we cannot support ourselves.
I'd like to finish this on a photo, but I can't think of any gooduns.
Though Will, I am enjoying your Doctor comics, each week I share them with my medic buddies cos I'm clearly the coolest cat.
BAI NOW
