last night was burns' night dinner, haggis, a's speech (which included facebook joke about poking, completely lost on the fellows of course), wine, and caleidh (which i didn't do). it was good fun and my gorgeous indian bolero you can see to the right much appreciated.
this morning was getting up early and going to meet my potential thesis supervisor. who was lovely. who gave me the most perfect idea for my thesis, original, interesting, actually useful, based in london. it would be oh so great if it worked out. i shall meet my (department) supervisor and discuss on tuesday. if everything goes according to plan, i'll need to write a thesis proposal by the end of term and will have all of my contacts and research sorted out by trinity term. which of course gives me a huge headstart and makes me very very very happy.
the rest of day was (re)writing parts of my core essay and shuffling things around a bit (draft handed in last week, got it back with comments yesterday). very boring. but interesting, in the sense that i'm a lot more aware of what the weaknesses of the essay are, and i can work on them over the weekend, so it will reach (near) perfection by the time i have to hand it in on friday.
tonight is going to be a drink in the bar, some time with my friends, and snuggling up in bed with lovely m and maybe watch a dvd or something equally easy and relaxing. as long as he's next to me. when is the honeymoon period supposed to finish? because we may possibly be more and more disgustingly cute by the minute, and it's worrying. :) being in love is... undefinable. but beautiful.
tomorrow is more essay writing. and town to buy eczema cream. do you think using a hydrocortisone cream that's three years out of date without noticing is dangerous?!? i hope not. errr. i can't believe i never checked the date on it.
anyway, i'm ranting, really.
