Another Pair Of Eyes

Español

I do not speak spanish, and my exam is tomorrow. Yes, on a Saturday, the world is rubbish. Anyway, this is basically a post of regret – the Spanish course I have done is easy and under other circumstances I’d've enjoyed it, learnt it well, probably continued it and actually ended up speaking spanish well enough to get by in a spanish speaking country. I have not done any of these things, because in the end when I weigh up my workload spanish always loses out to medicine, because medicine is quite simply more important. From that stance the quality of my spanish goes rapidly downhill and thus the enjoyment wanes in proportion.

Yes, it is entirely my fault, but I just think it’s a shame that it is. I’m aiming for a solid 40%, which I am currently over with coursework etc, so I don’t need to do well to pass. Flipside, I hate doing things badly when I know full well that I could have aced the whole course if I’d put in a bit of effort.

Shame on me.

To make myself feel better, here is something cheery I found on the internet.

Monolith

Yes.

Susan Fail

Also, I found this on failblog and I was in stitches.

Secrets

Watch this, then read. Or just read, but it won’t make much sense.

I wasn’t sure that there was a lot to this video, with the exception of the section from about 3:30 to 4:12. I was going to say more, but I don’t think there’s anything I want to add.

Fradulous

Aaaah. I think the word ‘fraudulous’ has made my day.

Jenny

Jenny has asked me to explain that due to various undefined technological issues, her blog is temporarily down. I am told it should be back in a few days.

About

I am still alive, but screamingly busy juggling an assignment, a new placement, the remnant of the old placement, and all the other aspects of student life with an small extra portion of wasted time dedicated to those lovely folks at the SLC who STILL HAVEN’T GIVEN ME A LOAN and I have no more money left. Up shit creek, basically. AANYway.

Busy. Yes. To distract you from this anaemic post, I give you this which I found this and thought was rather funny:

Strangely satisfying, even though its petty. I’ll write something of dubious worth at a later date.
