Same old, same old…

Nothing in particular has happened to me this week, which is why I have not been updating you. Golden has gone to Alicante… lucky thing, although it is most definitely skiving. She’s meant to be back tommorrow. We are doing a ‘Secret Bunny’- like a secret santa but with easter eggs instead of christmas presents. Blondie is buying for me, so it’s not really secret at all, especially as she has told me what she’s going to get me: A Lindt bunny. (Subtle hint at my wolf-like-ness.)

Anyway, I am buying for NAP. No Snickers. Who likes snickers anyway?
While I leave you to ponder this, I will discreetly sign off without you noticing… Clever, eh? Ciao, bambini.

General Knowledge does not pay off.

Sometimes I wonder why they bother.

We went on a trip to the RICOH arena, for a ‘careers day’, basically a load of people representing colleges and jobs and giving demonstrations. I had my eyebrows threaded by some beauty college and a scar ‘painted’ on my wrist (it was actually more wax and fake blood) by a make up art university. Or something. Both of which are totally irrelevant to my career as either vet or wildlife research journalist. But it costs a bomb to get your eyebrows threaded (not that I can see much difference), and the scar was very realistic/ gory, which is cool.

Actually, there was one stall relevant to me, Lantra or something, but I didn’t get to ask many questions as I sort of got off on the wrong foot with the woman:
Me: Oh wow! Are they bearded dragons? (signals toward display with said lizards)
Lantra Lady (obviously outraged at my prior knowledge… for some reason. Who knows?: Yeah. … **bovvered look**
Me: Oh… sweet. Yeah, it’s just I err… know them. Why is that one all flattened out?
LL: It’s just fat.
Me: (with nervous laugh), Oh, so not any, y’know, strange adaptation then? Ha…
LL: Hm.
Me: So, what kind of jobs are there at Lantra?
LL: Here. hands me a leaflet
Me; Oh… thanks! smiles widely but politely to unsuccesfully instir feelings of guilt

So, in all, a not particularly constructive day but I got lots of freebies! **yess**Well, you cannae say better’n that, cap’n. Ciao, bambini•

Am I Going Crackers?

I’m doing this update for Tuesday 5th seen as my Internet went all wierd last night, so you may be unfortunate enough to get another one later today.

Well, for exam week, things aren’t going too badly. Except for the exams. But we don’t get any homework and have quite a few revision sessions. This is okay because I spent mine writing a letter to Co- pilot, my friend from guides/ primary school.

Did you know, the world record for the fastest time to eat ONE cracker is something like 32 seconds? How crazy is that? But my friends and I thought we’d best give it a try. My record was 53 seconds. Bazzerina got 42, but she did break it up into little pieces first. Ravette got 45. It’s a lot harder than you’d think.

Anyway, gotta dash, am getting ready for *l’ecole*! Keep it cool, dudes. And dudettes. And not dudes. And not dudettes.
