I got for free what most of the people here paid thousands of pounds for. More in the morning but fuck private education.

ANOTHER

super quick library blog.
Still no internet.
So many essay's, so little time.

GOT OFFERED A SUMMER PLACEMENT IN PUERTO RICO!
Yay.
But can't go unless I find appropriate funding.
Boo.

Spent my weekend in Newcastle with Cathkins, because I am, gradually losing my mind in Edinburgh.
Was wonderful. I nearly forgot to go home.

Have become addicted to Game of Thrones.
But have to wait, as with no internet I am unable to stream. But, due to his chronic torrenting addiction John of course owns every episode.
But I promised Dickie we'd watch it together. So I have to wait for both John and Dickie to be present in order to watch.
But yesterday I broke my promise, and am now two episodes ahead of Dickie.
But John is away tonight.
So I am currently waiting for Dickie to catch up and John to come home. And it is all very stressful.
SIGH.

It'll be cold so cold

I’m 3 days into a 4 day weekend, that’s just how I roll.

Although Bristol is only 1 week into normal term time, I am just about to start week 7 of my first 9 week unit. This means that deadlines and the like are approaching and so I’ve spent a large proportion of my last three ‘days off’ actually doing work. We have a group project which is to make a scientific poster/presentation type thing on how dietary factors affect gout. Somehow I got landed with the job of putting it all together and making it look nice which has taken so so much time. I’ve finally managed to get it done after hitting the library at 9am on a Sunday, I’m pretty sure you could have counted the entirety of the library’s other occupants on one hand, it was depressing. I have also got a presentation to make for Tuesday and a 2000 word essay due in for Friday; I have started neither of these yet.

In other news my week has been same old same old. The highlight was probably getting to give someone an actual injection. It was probably one of the easiest things I have ever done but it was still very exciting. I honestly can’t think of anything else good to happen this week, it was all clinics and tutorials with nothing of note happening. I get picked on by one of the consultants who teaches us every week, I think it’s just because I am the only one whose name he can remember so I he has to ask me all the questions, it is a very stressful experience.

Being back in Bristol for the weekend has made me realise now how much I have been taking for granted the fact that in Taunton I have no bills to pay. In the house it has so very chilly the entire time but we just can’t bring ourselves to turn the heating on yet.

Next Sunday is the medic’s fresher’s bar crawl which is always fun. As third years we get to wear scrubs which, let’s face it, is pretty fucking cool. It does mean that I have to go see what will probably be several hours of surgery for the sole purpose of getting let into the changing room where the scrubs are kept.

Did y’all see that guy jump from space!? Boy was that fair less exciting than it was built up to be.

Right, I’m off to curl myself into a ball wrapped in my duvet in attempt to bring some feeling back into my frozen toes.

Night.

In library.

No internet at flat.
Quick blog so other studious people don't judge me.

HI.
This weekend I went to Paris with ma famille.
Is was tres bon.
If I wasn't rushing this in the library I would like to stay and chat about it.
Also I am very hungover.
Also I told Dickie I'd be home to bake a pizza.
Ima make it from scratch, because I'm bloody awesome like that.
Yesterday I went to The Tron with Oli and Sags, and then to The Hive with Georgie and the Sky-Divers (that sounds like a band name and I like it.)

In labs we found a video called: Professor Bonner and the Slime Moulds
I laughed.

I’m sorry for my blogging absence last week, I just plain forgot.

My last 2 weeks have been reasonably interesting. Seen more surgeries and diagnosed more people, nothing crazy exciting though. I got shouted at by a surgeon on Thursday which wasn’t very nice, I didn’t even do anything wrong really. This week I have to give a presentation on seronegative spondyloarthropathies, fun fun fun.

I had last Friday free so I briefly went home on Thursday night to collect my TV and PS3. I then took them down to Bristol on Friday.  I bought Borderlands 2 and played that lots this weekend, the coop campaign mode is pretty darn fun.

On Saturday night I ate dinner with 4 out of 5 housemates which was lovely. I have a new housemate this year to introduce you to, her name is Rachel and she is from halls in first year but didn’t end up living with us last year, she has now seen the light and moved back in with us. She does Biology and is an all-round great person and a far better UBRUBer than I will ever be. This is her:

Do any of you have new people you're living with this year? If so, introduce them to us!

I think one day this week I am going to photoblog so you can see the hospital and stuff. Could you guys photoblog too? I would like to see your new third year routines.

Some would call drinking alone sad; I would call it an awesome commitment to the Mongooses. For future reference, 'Mongoose' is a quite acceptable tasting beer.

I hope you’re all well. I haven’t spoken to any of you properly for ages now. I am going to hit you up on facebook over the course of this week.

I like batman.

Night!

What a week

I'm so tired you guys!
Really getting into my course right now, everything is a lot more intense and interesting and somehow I've just stepped up my game immediately which is something that didn't happen the last two years.  I think I found my work ethic, which I thought might not ever happen.  It means that I get to the end of the working day and actually feel justified in chilling, so I can put on a film or go see Lily and not have to feel guilty.  It also means I get tired earlier but I've always been a bit of a pussy in that respect.

ANYWAY it's not been all work and no play, last night some friends and I went to the union to shake the post-lecture blues and ended up getting sufficiently drunk, I thought it was like 9 o' clock but then we got outside and it turned out to be about 4.  So, realising I had to be up early today I went home to sober up - we spent 5 hours straight playing Tony Hawk's and had no idea.  All levels unlocked, bitches.

Me and Lily went to visit Perranporth at the weekend which was really nice.  It's this little harbor town with a wall that sticks out right into the sea.  We went around the corner and walked along the three miles of beach and back, went crab lining off the end and then went to the pub.  I don't have a picture but I can assure you it was idyllic.

Miranda, I miss taking Frodo for walks.  I know I only did it twice, but sometimes when I'm coming home from Uni I take this path through the woods and it really feels like I should be walking your dog.

Juliet, I haven't heard from you in so long and I like hearing about your Edinventures, I'll give you a call at the weekend when Lily gives me back my phone.

Will, I hope you don't get any blood on you when watching people being cut up.  That'd be naaaasty.

David, I miss you.

That's about it you guys, I have nothing else to say.

P.S. Sorry for the lack of posts, you can all stop judging me now.

Buttery biscuit slut.

Went to Aberdeen with Oli and Charlotte for Rosie's big banging bargain birthday bucket.
Really really great weekend. Lots of drinking and games, went to a couple of clubs. Fun fun fun.
Hit the maritime museum on Sunday, best part was a timeline of oil, first entry was the use of oil to waterproof Noah's ark. No joke.
Monday I spent all night in the library as I had neglected to do a practical report. Mainly because I'd forgotten it existed, and have hence received my first late penalty of the year.
Spent Tuesday in the pub with Pete and Harry.
Today I watched far too much Great British Bake Off with Richard and Owen.
Made awesome food. Caramelised onions with mushrooms and sundried tomatoes, cooked in balsamic vinegar and paprika, served with green beans and roast potatoes with rosemary and thyme. (+ sausages for Richard.)
I have done very little work recently.
It is because I am lazy.
Did buy a nice dress today, got distracted by charity shops on the way to Lidl.
