Annoying day

Well with regards to my laziness I went into uni to hand in my work before 9am. Just so that I won't be late I took into account the possibility of traffic jam which led to the conclusion that I should get up at 6:30am and leave the house at 7:30am. Which would nicely get me into uni at about 8:30am with room to spare for getting lost. (Universities are very VERY big.) Well I got there a few minutes short of 8:30am but by the time I handed in my homework (tutorials to be exact) it was only 8:30am. So I was left wandering about for 30 minutes before anything starts in Uni. The situation got worse when the library don't open until 9, fine given that I had the Metro to read, and my first lecture of the day started at 12:10pm.

I was already exhausted for getting 5 and a half hours sleep (I got distracted but something on Channel 4, Channel 5 was showing the 50 greatest horror movies of all time before that). The problem was made worse when I decided not to bring anything to do for those 3 hours (maybe it was just that I never took into account what was going to happen in those 3 hours. In the end I spent 90 minutes reading two biochemical journals and about 45 minutes reading the online newspaper before heading off to the foyer of my department, as there were sofas there. I could have sworn that if it was less exposed I would have slept there.

The lecture wasn't too bad given that my friend didn't turn up and there was a little bit of copying off the board (I would have definitely fallen asleep otherwise). I just decided that I won't listen to any of it but make sure I didn't miss a bit.

Then the most annoying thing happened. I was so hoping that the hour between the tutorial and the lecture had something to do. But my lab partner decided that photocopying could wait. He spent Friday night hammered, getting up at 1pm on Saturday, drunk on Saturday night and forgotten all about it Sunday. So much for getting my part of the deal ready by the earliest possible time. Which reminds me that I need to top up my printing/copying purse (it's electronic) as it is my turn this week. Anyway, what annoyed me most was the fact that I was knackered, I definitely deserved it, and his cheesy grin when he forgotten to do his part. I wouldn't have cared much if no one else I know was like that. Ironically that is exactly what my brother is like; trustworthy at times, comforting, and intelligent with a little effort, a person I can rely on.......well if you are not relying on them to do some tasks. Anyway I was only mad at my partner because I see my brother in him which drive me nuts. As my mum is on vacation, I am his temporary sole carer, just one of them is enough. I am naturally hypersensitive so just one less thing for me to worry about would be great. Two weeks in and I still can't trust him, give me a break!!!!!!!!!!!! o;>3<;o

October

Well it seems that I had been a little too bored lately. I hope that it will only get more busy as the weeks go on. I have settled back into studying rather rapidly, probably because I never really stopped but anyway it is going well. I am actually writing during a break at Uni. I absolutely hate this system. I prefer everything to be jam packed and then I get more time at home to reorganise what I learnt, in my head anyway. But the majority of the other people don't agree so nevermind.

Our laboratories are still under refurbishment so still no labs. As a result we are going to have 18 weeks of straight lab work with only the study weeks and official uni hols off. Well I think the same will happen once we start working.

I have already started planing for my final year project which I am still not sure what to do with it. I have an idea already, based on my available knowledge but it will take yet more time to actually complete it. First, I have to improve on my Japanese, then German, as they did more research on this subject, then lastly on my knowledge of the plants. Wish me luck everyone.
