...come back on another day (when I've actually had a chance to go into town and buy some wellies)!

Hello my lovely loves! I have a dissertation meeting on Thursday at nine o'clock and so I thought the best thing I could do would be to update my LJ rather than actually write some of my dissertation! Good plan y/y?

( For further info on the wonkiness of Em's face, please click here! )( Read more... )

In other news, I'm going to the ballet tomorrow, which I'm very excited about! Granted the tickets were free and from "The Met" so no doubt we'll be in the God's and will only be able to see the tops of the company's heads but that's fine. While I'm still a student I'm living by my "out for nowt" rule! Now if only the rain could piddle off as well so I can go and get some bread, that hasn't reverted to mush by the time I walk from the shop home, I would be most pleased! Nobody likes soggy crusts....bleugh!

Is there a slightly dodgy illness going around your work place? Then please send it this way, I'm loving the random ailments at the moment.

I went to the Doctor's earlier in the week to investigate the horrid chesty cough that I've been trying to shake off for the last eight weeks, turns out it's Bronchitis. Brill eh? An annoying cough that can't be cured with medication, just what I want. After eight weeks the comedy hacking cough is wearing kinda thin. But... the cough is now going, yey!

However due to the unique way my body functions it's decided to develop Bell's Palsy!

Basically, Bell's Palsy is an inflammation of the facial nerve which results in facial paralysis :(. 'Cause the cause isn't really known there is no cure for it. Current thinking is that it is caused by the same virus that causes cold sores and can be brought on by respiratory tract infections (thank you Bronchitis), Luckily it resolves itself without treatment :D (usually you can see significant resolution within 10 days). And even more lucky, I only have a incomplete palsy which means I have a slightly wonky smile and my right eyebrow doesn't raise fully but I can speak, eat and drink. Thank heavens for small mercies :D.

However all of this is better than the stroke/TIA/brain tumour etc etc I thought I had.

Right... either this essay has finally driven me mad or I just haven't got my leg over in a REALLY long time, but I'm developing a serious fan-crush on a certain Mr Cowell. Yikes, times are bad!

Is it bad that I'm bored of reading for my dissertation already? I've started to dream about Autism, argh!  That can't be good...can it? What on earth am I going to be like by April?

I have laryngitis at the moment brought on due to excess coughing for the last three weeks.  Ironic really given I'm giving a presentation tomorrow on Chronic Laryngitis.However I'm not sure how successful the presentation will be given that I currently sound like Deidre Barlow on a bad day :(.  Buggeration! Oh well shit happens.

I really don't think it's helped by the huge amounts of damp we have in the house that the moment.  I seriously think that one gust of wind would have the wallpaper down in the living room at the moment. Ah well, nobody likes woodchip anyway.  

Right, if anybody needs me I'll be in the corner with my nose buried in an autism journal!

Grrr, why do I always leave everything to the last minute? My dissertation proposal has to be handed into tomorrow and I'm currently about 50 words in! Argh!  In my defense, I have already wrote one but I've since decided that my idea was complete and utter balls and would be highly unlikely to get me a good mark as there was already a fair bit of research done on it! Bollocking bastards! So I've started again moving on to the ever wonderful subject of...Autism, yay! 

I've got a horrid feeling that I'll end up changing it again once I've had my first meeting with my supervisor but fuck it as long as it gets handed in I don't care! 

So, I apologise now, f'listers, for the major autism based rants that are to follow in the next six months or so. Soz about that :S 

*Rant over, back to research...boo*   

I've fallen into the trap yet again!
 
it's the oldest story in the book, Em buys silly shoes forgetting all about the mammoth forty minute walk (uphill!!) to uni!

I am literally a walking blister! Currently, I have two on each heel, one on the inside of each foot, and one under my second toe on both feet!  Can somebody please tell me how I managed to get all of those blisters in one day?  Not helped by the fact that it's my best friends birthday tomorrow so we headed out to a club on Saturday night, which resulted in me getting hurty feet and deciding that walking home through the centre of Leeds barefoot would be by far the best idea that I've had since deciding to wear the new shoes in the first place.  Hurty blisters with gravel in are hurty :(.

Savlon have been kept in business for the next year with my contributions to the pot this weekend.  Also five blister plasters for £2.99, I hasten to add.  I nearly feel off my blisters when the lady in Boots told me!   just isn't enough.  I need at least ten!

Now I've got that off my chest...how are you all?

A meme I stoled a bit...

Should you have a spare moment you wish to fill,  please comment with:

1. One secret.
2. One compliment.
3. One non-compliment.
4. One love note, but it does not have to be for me.
5. Lyrics to a song.
6. How old you are.
7. How long we've been friends.
8. And a hint to who you are.

At the risk of sounding like Victor Meldrew, I don't believe it.  After the hugey cock up earlier in the week with the email, the uni decided to send out our results to us as the stupid system won't let our results go live until next Tuesday.  Good plan, yeah? WRONG. I've spent the day answering texts and calls from friends asking if I've passed. Everyone else got their results today.  Where are mine? I hear you ask, well let me tell you dear reader. They're in sodding Middlesborough, where my house is not,  due to the staff at the sorting office going on strike for heavens knows how long.  Stoopid Royal Mail iz stoopid.

Christ on a bike! I think I may need to throttle my course admin man. The, normally very efficient, admin man sent an email round at ten to six this evening (which I've only just opened) to announce our exam results had been released a week...a whole WEEK...early. AHHHHHH. 

Heart racing...check.  
Panicked breathing...check.
Nervous tummy...check.

I've just checked the online resource space and they aren't up yet. In fact. they are very NOT up. 

My theory is he sent the email then realised the time and thought "Fuck it, I'm going home!".   Bastard.

*Grumble grumble* Hottest day so far in Leeds and I've got to stay in and revise. It's not fair. Though I can't really grumble since I am going to Marrakech next Wednesday.  Major SQUEEEEE. I'm going with three girls though (one of whom is blonde) so I am slightly worried we will end up in a Harem. Ah well, it'll be an experience lolz.

ETA: Bugger it...I think a pub break is needed.  Is this a bad idea? Possibly.

Pilfered from a friend on another forum:

 

ETA: Do'h forgot the cut *headdesk*

Grr! I HATE revision...

That's all.

*Wanders in*

Thank you for all the Birthday wishes everybody :).  I had a great day which started with an exam in which my lecturer announced "We couldn't work out how to do section A so we've decided to scrap it" Good times, but rather wish he'd told us this BEFORE I revised for it. Epic Fail!  Then off to Pizza Express for a very scrummy chicken and pancetta pizza...mmm. Back home to get ready for Le crawl de pub, which culminated in much alcohol and many photos.  And a GIANT hole in my tights...grrr. But all in all a good day was had by all.

That's all...I'm now off to nurse my poorly head.  I'll be in the corner should anyone need me.

*Leaves rubbing said head*

*Runs in, checks time* Phew it's not midnight and I'm not late for once in my life!

Happy Birthdaywyvernchick !!!  Hope the birthday donkey was good to you! 
 

Dearest Mr Hotmail,

Please stop fucking around, doing your fucking maintenance, so I can open my fucking emails.

I AM GOING TO MARRAKECH!

On a cold February evening what better thing is there to do than sit with three of your best buds and book a spontaneous trip to Marrakech?  
Got an absolute bargain of a price...seven nights, bed and breakfast, flights, all for the amazing price of £283! I'd of been daft to let that one go. Granted we are flying with Squeazyjet, but beggars can not afford to be choosers. 

This all leaves a very excited Em!
