Well its that time again.. time to talk about people I love and some that I love not so much.. Also time to talk about my teachers so they know that they are loved lol

A lot has happened since the distillery trip.. I've gotten a lot of lab work done and fallen even more behind on homework.. I worked on my P20 work everyday.. at least a little bit and I still managed to some how not get it done until 5am the day that it was due..I have also managed to have two breakdowns in a week.. such an acheivement.. the first one was in the lab... I just can't handle being stuck in there with "a****** who makes me do everything and then treats me bad because I'm a woman and then argues with me that I'm not doing things right even though he doens't have a freaking clue what the hell it is that I am doing because he doesn't pay attention and I dont think has ever been in a lab before because he can't even properly use a digital scale" (yes that was all typed in one breath!) lol I can usually work with anyone and deal with anything but there comes a point where its too much.. too much to handle and too much to try to ignore. but see here's a good thing.. he's being given something different to do. SO I dont have to work with him anymore.. which is good because now I don't have to enlist the foresters to put the fear of god into him to tell him to treat me nicer. which was offered to me many times last saturday while I cried in the pub.. oh right.. that would be 3 breakdowns in one week.... anyway saturday was interesting.. I had to babysit one of the forresters in the pub because he was extremely drunk and flirting with every girl he saw.. lucky enough none of them were really interested and they were pretty much all 6 years younger than he is.. plus its the bobbin.. where all the first years hang out.. BUT they have pool tables so thats why we go there.. lately I've taken a liking to cider and its not too bad of a price there.. plus it keeps me from drinking doubles which are my poison of choice..Ok so what are we on? oh right two break downs in one week.. here comes the third..

I didn't get the PhD. BUT I was second choice out of four and who knows how many other applicants there were that didn't get chosen for an interview. so since I found that out yesterday it still sucks but its alright.. its not the end of the world and I still have time to apply for more.. my visa runs out on the 31st of january 2011 but I can always apply for a work visa.. I have this thing about not wanting to go home right now.. I like living in a different country.. living here makes me happy and I love my friends here.. I love my friends back home too but I wish I could kinda kidnap them and make them live here with me.. things are so different and lovely.. I think I was born on the wrong side of the world. actually I'm pretty sure I was. but its also good to know that my friends here aren't willing to give me up lol I can't go without a fight and I like that.. things I don't like about here (inparticularly this school) is the CAS sytem.. what the hell really? I still havent' figured it out. lol but anway there is still lots more for me out there even though I really wanted this one.. its alright.. I am seeing that now

Plus its alright because I'm going on a lady date today with SusieSaurus! we need new outfits for next fridays "amalgamating of masters students" and its going to be at the illicit still! WOOT!! great food and pretty good drink prices.

I would give a list of what i've learned this week but I haven't really learned much except that hexane is stinky and for some reason a mixture of methanol and water had made my soil samples go gelatinous.. that was effing hilarious. oh and Graeme walks really fast when he's in a hurry and I had to take 3 strides and a skip to keep up in our "walking meeting" that was pretty much hilarious..

OH RIGHT!!! Susie was in a musical called Shh.... and it was amazing!! it is amazing! I have some of the songs stuck in my head and it made me happy.. it was happy and sad but it ended good so thats a great thing.. and we're all super proud of her!! :) Our shining star!! :) well its a ginger star but its still shiny!! :)

ok have to get ready for my lady date.. enjoy the windmills :)
