Thinking of cutting my hair and getting my ears pierced - won't happen though as no matter how much I complain about getting it caught on stuff and blown by the wind I like my very long hair. It's how I'm recognised - lecturers may not know my name but I'm pretty sure the recognise 'the girl with the long hair that never misses lectures and comes to optional seminars.' Without my long hair I would no longer have an easily recognisable feature. Maybe I'm being melodramatic.
Back to a semi ATHENS subject - sciencedirect is pissing about with me. There's an article called 'what do animal signals mean?' and the PDF just won't open properly. Oh well that'll just be one less article I'm intending to read.
I really want to buy the complete Indiana Jones. I love the movies but only have the first 3 on VHS - which is pretty useless. Bit too expensive for my cheapskate ways - we'll see. I bought Marly and Me on DVD when it came out. That movie really makes me cry, and I don't just mean the single 'this is a sad movie' tear that can be fought back I mean full blubbering sobbing tears that leave your eyes red and blotchy. It's the end bit when Marley gets put down - I get flashbacks of when I've been there and done that with my pets. Speaking of pet flashbacks, a guy came to my door yesterday to ask if i'd lost a cat because he'd found a dead one down the road that'd been hit by a car. This is a flashback because I had a cat (it was my younger sister's, all black and called babe) who was hit by a car and killed about ermmm 10 years ago. Thankfully I gave the cat treat box a shake and both cats came bounding in throught the cat flap. But I really feel for the cat owner - it's a horrible moment to hear that, I remember the last time I saw Babe (I told it to get off my bed - I wanted to get in and go to sleep but couldn't fit with her at the feet end).
Good news now. I got on to the Dean's List 'for academic excellence' for my grades this/last year :D. Only students with grades over 16.5 in each module get on (btw mine were all over 17.4). Really happy about it because I was feeling a little average.
Can't think of anything else to tell you apart from the fact I have the weekend off from babysitting as mum's staying over at babys dad's house. My uncle and aunt are coming to visit and he has a bigger house so they tend to stay there. Thus you may get more updates in the next 48 hours than you have since my summer began :D.
