This is illumination, we are illuminates
May. 11th, 2004 12:01 pmIt didn't feel half as odd as I expected, walking out of what was most likely my last time of working in the Purdie labs ever, high on the fumes of various cleaning fluids that I had been using. It might be something to do with the way that I have to go back to hand these reports in, and then the exam. But still, now my equipment's cleaned, checked off and I'll be getting £49.52 paid in to my account back from the deposit. And I have successfully got through the entire two years without washing my lab coat once. It's not half as colourful as some other people's, so maybe I can even sell it off to someone, authentic unidentified stains included.
I was most entertained by the CampusMovieFestNight, or whatever they called it. (I'm sorry, I utterly refuse to spell it "Nite" even though it appears in the dictionary, (which if you ask me is an absolute travesty (along with the new entry for "Random")

Sorry, got a bit distracted there and also overdosed on brackets. Anyway, it was a good opportunity to wear my suit and look pretentious again. My favourite was a film showing two trailers - one for "The Halls", a horror film about gruesome things happening to people who didn't pay their hall subs, and the other for a really tacky kung-fu film, which featured a DDR reference. :D Close behind that was "Four years in five minutes". There were also the unavoidable identikit pretentious poetic student films, which all seem the same to me. I'm still looking forward to seeing Graeme Barker's photographic lunacy, this time featuring a Mexican Tree Pirate (I saw just a flash of it during the compilation at the end).
A brief trip to the Union followed, where I discovered that I can't do this.
The trouble is that without getting up for breakfast, I feel that I have to have an extra something to eat in the evening - so hooray for Tesco sandwiches. I had one of them after coming home last night, along with a few hundredweight of Country Crisp, which eventually satiated my appetite.
The lab reports are all but finished now. I just need to fill in a couple of blanks. Or just hand it in as it is, I doubt that they'll make much difference seeing as I'm rather dreadful at lab reporting anyway.
Oh, SomethingAwful featured another furry site to victimise today. Actually I was rather offended by the front page article as well - I used to be able to laugh along with them, but they really are getting worse. I e-mailed the owner of the featured site something encouraging as usual, and got the following reply:

On the whole, I would SAY he's taking it rather BADLY. And I don't blame him.
