Go see Wallace&Gromit!!! It's fantastic, the kind of film that suits everyone, it's so clever and very very funny!! So yeah, you'll be greatly missing out if you don't see it!

Psycholinguistics

I just had the best lecture ever!! Psycholinguistics is my favourite lecture anyway cos it's the most interesting and we have the best lecturer ever, but today was extra good! We got to play a record breaking game of chinese whispers, with 200ish people!!! I'm not really sure what it was supposed to be illustrating, something to do with problems with speech perception, but it taught me that chinese whispers doesn't work with that many people! It started off as 'Jamie Oliver says 5 a day' and ended up as 'Clean someone's ball'!! We were somewhere in the middle, and got 'I like touching little animals'!!!
Another thing that made it a very amusing lecture was the fact that the lecturer spent most of the time with a woodpigeon puppet on her hand which she would point things out with and randomly wave around and squeak!! In the end she had to take it off though cos everyone was in hysterics, it's hard to take anyone seriously when they have a squeaking pigeon on their hand!
We also had a panic that we were all going to be burnt alive cos there was a really strong smell of burning and it was getting really hot so we were expecting to have to run out the fire exit any minute! Thankfully it didn't come to that, I don't know what was burning but obviously nothing serious!

Trip down memory lane

Last night we had a little reunion in Ashburne to relive the old days! (ie last year) Matthias was over visiting from Germany for a few days so we decided to all meet up and have dinner there...it was so so strange!! In a way it was exactly the same, same kind of not that great food, radioactive juice, hot chocolate, me and Thanh Mai being very childish with our food and everyone giving us strange looks etc, with the slight difference that we couldn't go back up to our rooms after cos we don't live there anymore!!! After, we took over the common room and had a few games of pool. I was pretty rubbish as usual but I must be improving cos a couple of times I was very close to winning! Then we watched 'Hitchikers guide to the galaxy' which is such a great film!! Very very random but so cool! I really want a knife that toasts bread while you cut it, such a genius idea!!

Less stressed

I'm getting over my stress about work now, (for the time being anyway), I got loads done yesterday and today so it's not too bad now. But I've been feeling ill again the last couple of days, I'm so fed up of being ill!!! This morning I nearly collapsed in the hall cos I was really faint and couldn't keep my balance at all, it was quite scary!
Ooh and yesterday I had a meeting about my year abroad and I've decided I really want to go to Belgium! And work in a school, I can't wait to go now! I did want to go to Switzerland but I think they only take people over 21 so unless I can somehow add 2 years to my age I don't think I'll be able to go there :(

Pourquoi le stress?

Arghhhhhhhhhh!!! I'm so stressed already and it's only the second week back, what's going on?! I haven't had a decent nights sleep since I've been back which really doesn't help, I have loads of work to do already and hardly any freetime to do it, and when I am free I have absolutely no motivation, grr!!! I'm starting to worry how I'm going to get through the year if I'm like this already, it's stupid really but I can't help it! Right now I have to make a birthday card to send to my aunty who's birthday it was today so that's late already, I have soooooooooo much reading, 3 presentations to think about, and I dunno what else...
Pas heureuse!
