I hate yucky rainy days

As you've probably gathered from the title it was pretty yucky today...weather wise... one of those classic english days where its wet and miserable and cold. The good thing was I only had stuff in the morning today... mechanisms of implantation (so all you women who are enjoying your cute little babies I had to learn that to excrutiating detail)...this riveting class was then followed by dissection. We covered the pelvis today - it was our worse dissection yet...not only were there a million and one objectives to complete but its kinda hard working on your part of the pelvis with 4 other pairs of hands trying to get in there as well..we got C's and D's - Unbelievable...no matter though - when I got home my house mate made me a cup of tea (its true what the english say btw: a cup of tea does solve everything).

Anywho, I did absolutely no work today - attempted to sleep a little but just managed to listen to Jack johnson and il divo...then I got bored...made myself soup and cinnamon buns...and watched movie: the manchurian candidate...absolute rubbish film btw - I can honestly say I was confused from beginning to end...

no must sleep - I plan on waking up before the sun does so I can do the work I was supposed to do today!!!!

Top Gun

Today was a special showing of Top Gun at the Savoy theater which is our equivalent to princess....it was absolutely amazing. Theres nothing like watching incredibly fit fighter pilots in the classic surrounding of the savoy...actually watching fit fighter pilots anywhere would be acceptible in my books... Anywho, as cheesy as it is Top Gun is a gooder...if you havn't seen it - you have to - Tom Cruise still looks good in this one!!! And what made it even better is that it was student night and students here really get into their student nights....there were equally fit males who dressed up as naval officers (yes...white uniforms and everything)... and all the males in the theater joined in when Tom Cruise serenaded the girl in the bar scene - it was very cute!!! Makes me want to have a fighter pilot too...if only they were more readily available... like lip gloss, or fish n' chips.

ohh and by the way - NO - I still havn't found my 'yes I'm available' button - don't know where the darn thing has gone - I'm well on my way to becoming cat lady!! ...have been told that I have high standards which is not the case at all - just because my list is 3 pages long dosen't mean I wont negotiate:)

Anywho, maybe I'll just become the beautiful surgeon who goes around the world fixing babies for 3 apples, 2 coconuts and a few sardines - my dream job!!!

band trip

Hello all

I decided not to cheat today and do one of those survey thing....aren't you proud of me... not that todays post will be any more exciting I assure you. I am well behind on my work at the moment - went to warrington on a band trip this weekend with Nottingham Memorial halls band (hence me being behind in everything else)... warrington is near Liverpool (for those of you who don't know)...about 2.5 hours from nottingham!! I love band weekends - and by the way - the band wants to do a trip to canada soooo if you're a canadian corps and wants an english band to play at your corps let me know (you have to be in alberta thought:) they're good and they're classy without being snotty - we've got bright red festival tunics and everything - very cool.... and they can show everyone how to march properly (being that they get loads of practise every sunday after the open air services)...

Anywho, I did take pictures but don't have them on the computer so can't post them.. sorry...

other than that there is absolutely nothing new - surprise surprise...I did see pictures of Abigail Gallimore though - how incredibly cute...very very adorable!!

well got to go do more work - bye bye

You are famous for: Your slightly crazy eyes and usual way of speaking

How you life your life: In the moment. "Me want COOKIE!"

I love turkish food

Right so here we are at the turkish restaurant... me, my housemate (andrea) and christine... If you havn't tried turkish food you are soooo missing out...it was incredible. I had this lamb thing - it had a very exotic sounding name but I can't remember...Anywho, the restaurant was really really beautiful too- it was like stepping into the otoman empire...all the waiters and waitresses were turkish (or greek) and they all treated us like we were long lost cousins... an extended family atmosphere - it was very nice and if you come and visit me I will definately take you there....(ie. come and visit me so that I have an excuse to go there again:)

Yey the weekend

I love weekends...as I'm sure many of you people do...but its especially good if you have loads of work to catch up on...I hate being behind...but no worries - today I only had one 9am lecture (if you ask me its very cruel to make students come for 1 one hour lecture...and at 9am at that - what were they thinking) anywho, I had the rest of the day to read up on previous lectures...I've been sitting at my desk for exactly 5 1/2 hours - my bottom is very sore...

We're going to a turkish restaurant tonight - don't exactly know what turkish food tastes like but I love trying new stuff so what the heck. AND did you know that not only is nottingham famous for robin hood and maid marion and the castle and the goosefair but its also one of the worlds biggest foods capitals (ie. you can eat at a different restaurant every night for 365 days....if I had the money that would definately be something I'd do - but as of right now we'll limit to turkish - and kebabs -I love kebab)

Anywho, thats it for now....still don't have a digital camera so no pictures...sorry!!!!
bye bye
