Birthday Shenanigans

Right I left of last time saying that I was going to update you on my timetable, I must say it's not too bad, but I do have a few early starts and no days off this semester! And there's also about twice as much contact time this year, so I've been a busy bee:
Monday:
4-5pm Small Groups
Tuesday:
9-10am Prac Lab
1-4pm Statistics and Research methods (ouch!)
Wednesday:
11-1pm Personality and Individual Differences
Thursday:
10-12pm Project Talks
1-3pm Learning and Language
5-6pm POPPS
Friday:
9-11am Social Psychology

So all in all not a bad timetable, but Thursday are pretty painful!

Anyway, it was my birthday last week and it was an eventful one to say the least. On the Friday I walloped my nose on Will's roof rack producing a very audible cracking noise and an instant feeling sickness! I decided not to go to A&E (possibly a mistake =P)and just went to bed with an ice pack on it. Then we went out on Saturday night to celebrate me getting old and we had only made it to the second pub when I passed out completely and the paramedics had to be called. I was apparently totally unconscious for about 15 minutes and then slipping in and out for a further 15, bad times. After an ECG and a lot of blood being taken they couldn't see any cause for it, so we're going with the paramedics diagnosis of a delayed concussion as they normally know what they're talking about!

So when it came to my actual birthday on the Sunday I was feeling pretty ropey, and a bit battered and bruised so I stayed in and opened my cards and pressies and was treated to a yummy Sunday dinner by Will. So not a total disaster in the end. =]

I'm afraid the updates to this blog will probably continue to be sporadic at best as I am hugely busy this year, I've already submitted 2 assignments and have another 5 that I'm working on at the moment! I also have 4 midterms in 4 weeks time to prepare for and I'm also applying for a position to help Dr. James Intrilligator to carry out his experiments this year. I love his name - "It's kinda like alligator but not... I believe its something to do with being a bookbinder in Latin" (this was how he introduced himself) I'm assuming he gets asked about it a lot!
