A Man for All Seasons was fun but quite sad, inevitably. Didn't you think that 'Richard Rich's' legs were so impossibily skinny he looked anorexic or something? :lolwut:

My appreciation for the cast is very greatly diminished now that they are having a huge party in the room next door :hmpf:

I can trump that. Fridays I have lectures/practicals 10-5, supervision at 5, supervision at 7.

Tell them to either keep it down or let you join them. :yep:

As for me: to work now or to work tomorrow morning? :dontknow:

party shop on bridge street/ party mania by the grafton?

I feel awful tonight. Someone who was my best friend all last year (and the beginning of this term) has taken offence at something I have done over the last two weeks (she's barely spoken a word to me despite being my next door neighbour), and tonight had a proper go at me in front of most of the may ball committee (which we're both on). I'm pretty much unaware of what I have done to have caused this upset (for I have no disagreement with her) and as a result feel well and truly ****. :cry2:

p.s. sorry to vent on you all

One of my medic friends has 9-8 every Monday.

Thank goodness for thick walls. I only hear it when the door opens for people to come in and out, and then its REALLY noisy. Unfortunately there are so many of them that I expect brief but loud waves of sound to emerge intermittently for some time.

And I'd love to be able to just 'join in' with this sort of thing, but my enjoyment of social occasions decreases with an inversely proportionate relationship to the number of people present.

Even when its a group of very good friends, much more than 5 and the dynamic changes and it becomes really boring :frown:

I find myself sipping my drink and wishing I was curled up reading Pratchett and listening to some good music. The compromise is dinner parties, where you form little islands of four to six by being limited to the people sat near you.

Aww

That sucks!

Well just send her an email and sincerely say you don't know what you did to offend her and that you value the friendship and so on. No doubt being on a May Ball committee and its being week 5 are not helping matters.

I never have two supervisions on the same day, but I do have a supervision at 7.45am each Friday night. My timetable varies too much with all the things I have but I typically have long days, with lectures every day at 9, or a dissection at 10 on mondays and it just goes on from then.

NatSci's have it worse though by having lectures on a saturday

Hmm, sort of agree with you there.

Argh argh argh, big problem - does anybody know how to open .rm files on a Mac? It should be a video of some kind, but I have no clue what program to use to open it with :frown:

It's a long clip that I need to answer lots of questions on by 1pm tomorrow - as I have classes 10-12 it really needs doing now... Eurgh.
