I missed my day, sorry gang.

In the news last week I saw lots of patients. I had a teaching session which started at 7am which meant leaving the house at 6:30, not cool. This week is more of the same, I think I'm nearly done with my clerking portfolio of 32 patients, I'm not 100% on how many I've actually done but I think its 30 or 31. This week I shall I have to be in at 8am 3 days and will most likely be staying in until 10pm at least a couple of times. Work eh, what is it good for?

I saw Frank Turner with Kate last weekend. It was, as ever, an awesome live show. His new album came out last week and is currently number 2 in the album charts, what a sell out. I am actually getting into the new songs a bit now, there are a few which are a bit too poppy but some really good ones too. I am excited to see him this summer at trees.

It's less than a week until the big 10K race I'm doing. I'm slightly concerned, I stupidly didn't go running at all for 2 weeks after Easter and it has been a challenge to get back into it over the last week. I managed to run 8.5km today but it was a struggle.

Played the first cricket match of the year on SAturday which was fun. It was just a friendly but against a super good team so we lost. I didn't bat very well and got hit on my thumb and now its gone all purple and hurts to hold a pen which is pretty annoying. I didn't wicket keep very well because my thumb was sore. I caught the only catch that came my way though, so not a disaster.

I can't think of much else of note to say. David seemed keen on blogging this week so there's that to look forward too.

Here is a fantastic song by some guy who I've never heard of:


And here is the worlds happiest cat:

Better late than never

I was watching Frank Turner earlier, I'm sorry.

Proper blog tomorrow maybe but here's something to be going on with:

Thursday, 18 April 2013

It's true. I forgot to blog yesterday.

But I am here today!
So all is forgiven.

Still revising.
Little else to say, really.

I have been is this God damn library every single day for my entire life, or as much of it as I can remember.
Today I went to Charlotte's flat, which other than my flat, Pete's flat, Tesco and Sainsbury's is the only other place I have been in the last one thousand years.

I am trying to maintain a decent blogging record but having spent the entire day writing a research project proposal, I am in no mood to write more things, but here goes anyway.

Spent the week living along at uni. It was fine if a little lonely. I got lots of work done which was good though.

Nothing remarkable happened in terms of university activities.

I went to see Jim Lockey and The Solemn Sun last night with Chris. First I met Chris and Matt at Chelthenham spoons ( I had a Tennessee burger, it was average at best). After that, Chris and I went to the Frog and Fiddle. It was great to see Jim in front of a really big crowd who were clearly all big fans, I think it was my favourite of their gigs I have ever been too. I then drove back home home last night to avoid further loneliness at uni.

Today I have mostly been writing a research project proposal, it is incredibly dull. I have pretty much done it now though and have sent it off to my supervisor to read through, hopefully it is vaguely on the right track.

This coming week is going to be pretty standard in terms of uni. I am starting my ENT rotation. One of the doctors is really nice so I am hoping to hang out with him a lot and watch some cool ear surgery or something.

Kate's birthday is on Thursday, I am incredibly excited for this although I might not be back from Bristol until late and then have to return to uni early the next day. Still, it will be worth it. I think I'm also seeing the majority of you guys on Friday...

One of the bands supporting last night were called the Woahnows. I thought they were really good, kind of Los Camps-y:
Woahnows – Foma

I have headache.

Finished off the finishing touches for Petey's present.
Have been in the library till closing for several nights, due to a lack of at-home photoshop, and a need to work on it during the night time hours. (Don't want people's looking over my shoulder.)
But aye. It is done.

Last lecture was... well I suppose it was on Thursday, but I didn't go. So technically my last lecture was on Tuesday.
Went out on Thursday. Got painted.
Georgie's party on Friday. Got vommy.
Spent Saturday night in Richard's bedroom watching 30 Rock and hiding from drunk hockey players.

Yeah. I probably have more to say. But my head really hurts, and Petey just arrived and has walked in and somehow found cake. Literally no idea whose cake it is, but safe to say it is not Petey's.

Good night, my dears.

I'm sorry Juliet, I was waaaaay drunk last Sunday night, my usual blogging time.

Well, it is the end of my ridiculously short Easter holiday. I have done very little other than sleeping and drinking. Not a bad way to spend a week I must say.

I've done lots more running since my last blog and actaully managed to run 10.12km in 57 minutes yesterday, I was very pleased and not even too tired, go me. My orginal plan was to run the actual race in under an hour, but as its still 3 weeks away, perhaps I can do it a bit faster than that.

In recent education news, I have performed this procedure several times on a rubber butt. My life is nothing if not glamorous:


I too enjoyed the GoT season 3 premiere. I managed to work my way through the last 5 episodes of season 2 over last weekend and I have actually got into the show properly now. Because I watched season 1 over such a prolonged period of time, I never really got into it. Also, I am nearly done with Dance With Dragons, I had meant to finish it this week, but sleeping got in the way of that. This coming week I will try my best to get it done.

I had planned on going back to uni this evening but it turns out I don't have anything on until tomorrow lunch time so I'm going back then instead. I will have the house to myself for 2 weeks which sucks. It does mean I have sole control of the thermostat though, shit is gonna be toasty as fuck. I will also have my car with me so will most probably be making the journey back to Swindon if exciting things are happening.

I'm going to see Jim Lockey et al. next weekend in Cheltenham with Chris which should be really fun. They've just come back from supporting the Dropkick Murphys in America which was a huge deal for them so I expect his show will be pretty nuts.

My Dad just called me downstairs in an excited voice. Turns out he's spent the afternoon training the wild ducks which occasionally visit our garden and now they're in the kitchen. Why you may ask, his answer: "because I could".





Want to see something interesting. Go here and fill this in and see how your opinions compare with other peoples from all round the world. Its super sad how low a priority climate change is to most people.

Ben Marwood fans should watch and listen to this song and video, both are ace.

See you soon.

Wow. Poor show guys.

And by guys I obviously mean Will.

Test tomorrow.
It's a practical exam, and there's no past papers.
Eight topics total with a choice of five. Only actually attended sessions for four of the topics, so this should be fun.
So far have been assembling notes for six of them, and think I shall leave it at that.
I imagine this is going to be a nightmare.
Worth 25%, no idea what to expect, or how to revise.
But, it is my last piece of in-course assessment this term, so after tomorrow it's just pure revision! Yaaay.

Spent the weekend in Newcastle, Uncle's birthday, sorting out my Grandpa's house / scattering ashes etc...
(Yeah - not sure how many people I mentioned it to. My Grandpa died back at the start of term, followed a week later by Salem / Bailey / Mischief - whatever name you might've known my cat by. That plus a whole load of FUCKING POINTLESS drama has made this term kinda unpleasant. But yay, bitches be crazy. And hopefully out of my life by next semester.)

Can't remember if I mentioned, we have a new flat? Haven't actually seen it yet, but this rather wonderful photograph by Dickie I think illustrates it quite well:
Don't know why he chose to take it as a selfie. Or why he's biting his lip. Or why he decided to snapshot the letting agent.

Also, here's the floorplan I made him draw when we were drunk:


Most exciting news of the week - obviously, is the return of Game of Thrones. :D
Best Monday ever, and thankfully many more to come.

Currently finishing off series two of American Horror Story with John. Which is glorious and you should all watch it because it has lots of bum and Zachary Quinto.

And yeah. Am in the library, as per usual. So should probably go back to working before I face any further judgement.
BAI.
