I've finally received a letter from BT yesterday. Now I've got a land line number, but I'll still have to wait for the engineer to come on the 19th! I really can't stand the speed at which things are done here. Hooray for my new preciouss and the mobility that allows me to roam around my faculty wireless. The one hour every day which I manage to spend online are usually reserved for SingSoc and freshers' issues and household matters. I'm still itching to upload my field trip pics, add in the new features to the ICSS website, startup Trillian and simply chat away. I suppose in some orgs I'm already listed as having gone AWOL...
Now that I've got some free time to write, I'm not sure what to say.
Hmm... my new timetable? A slacker's schedule (we've only got a 50mins' lecture today), but with no structure to it whatsoever. Each day's timetable is different, and practicals and tutorials are chucked here and there. We're doing Applied Molecular Biology now - another compulsory module for which I haven't the faintest interest in, but it must be done. All the small micro stuff... dead topics... but still better than biochem.
Had my first Politics lecture yesterday. I loved it. It's such a welcome change... away from the all-too-silmilar tones of the biological sciences. Only con's that our reading list is waaaay long... and it dates back to books from 375 B.C. (Plato's
Republic). It'll make my Monday lunchtimes something to look forward to.
But then... there're fencing training sessions on Monday lunchtimes, and it clashes. There're BUSA matches on Wednesdays, so Monday trainings are usually quite important. Dunno if I'm up for tomorrow's match. Plus it's 'Away' at Southampton, roughly at least 4 hours' train ride south-west from London. And I haven't fenced since more than 3 months ago. And I don't know who else is in the team, and what weapons we've to fence. Demoralising.
EE's in London with cousin Jessica. Needed to attend an interview for admission into a girls' boarding school in Wyncombe... and to visit Justin who's in Winchester.
Some other things... went for archery with Lu, Lionel and Viv last Wednesday at Hyde Park, and again on Sun (though there was a lack of kits available and so we left)... had dinner with EE at Four Seasons (roast duck!)... had the SingSoc freshers' picnic at Hyde on Sat... got to know even more freshers... SingSoc meeting last night... and now... I just can't bear to part with the internet and head for home.
