Say whatever you want 'cos I can laugh it off...

Its been a very up and down for week for reasons mostly related to my own short-comings.

I am determined to enjoy the last three weeks of term despite having a substantial amount of work to do and revision to start. I do however have my mind firmly fixed on Christmas and New Year. I can't wait to see my folks again and spend some time away from Uni, I am feeling a it sick of my housemates as they are not living up to my ridiculous ideals. I am looking forward to being cooked for and doing minimal washing up oh and clean clothes and heated house!

Karen is coming to mine on the 27th and we shall have Rio to drive about in! Although I shall take us places in our car to avoid Kazz having to pay for petrol if posssible! I can't wait for festive fun food! New year is going to be awesome too, having Karen's house to ourselves to play married couple will be fun and much food and drink shall be consumed and hopefully a lot of baking will be done!

I am also getting my new camera soon, I really want to improve my photography and eventually turn it into something more than a hobby. I already have a business partner waiting for me!

Next week I shall attempt to finish most of my project write up and get the majority of my poster done. Hopefully I will have a good mark for my abstract from two weeks ago too!

It only takes one tree to make a thousand matches...

Today has been a good day! And in fact it has been a good week.

I went to church with Karen after having the most amazing sleep ever and it was a really good sermon. I feel really blessed, especially having Karen there because she means so much to me!

Then I came home and chilled and went to training which was rather fun, there weren't many of us so we just mucked about which was good and unstrenuous.

I also found out that Karen's Dad may be able to pick me up a D300 from duty free on his way out to Saudi which is AWESOME! I am incredibly lucky. I can't wait to get it, I really want to improve my photography and take it much more seriously with this camera. I am rather excited!!

Karen goes home next weekend so I shall have some peace (=P) but will be rather lonely. I shall probably try to get my introduction for my project written and take some photos. I may even go on an expedition to town on an evening if its nice.

I have just typed up all my results from winkle watching and shall have to start processing them next week which I think may just be more boring than collecting the data in the first place.

I am very much looking forward to the seminar tomorrow as its on cancer so hopefully will be very interesting!

Its bed time now, I'm pretty shattered.

A lovestruck Romeo, sings the streets of serenade, laying everybody low, with a love song that he made...

Karen is a puffin.

A puffin that eats muffins.

She looks awesome in the buffin.

And I’m happy when she’s laffin.

‘cos she’s a source of enterochromaffin!

She's my heaven, she's my spark...

I was only in labs for 2 hours today! I got to see Chris' fish too which was entertaining, he turned them pink much to Katie's disgust.

Karen and I are going to see Quantum of Solace tomorrow which I am looking forward to! The plot is meant to be lacking but the action scenes are apparently rather good and I do like explosions.

Tomorrow I have to hand in my molecular ecology coursework which is hopefully going to be OK and make sense and sound feasible. Maybe not. We are currently doing biology and ethics which, on first impressions, is going to be very interesting and will have a definite impact on the way I think about things!

Hopefully I shall get a Sunday in Church properly this weekend providing Kev is around. Can't wait for that, I am really itching to be in the service to be with Karen and to listen to the teaching myself!

I may get next weekend on my lonesome which will be good for Christmas planning. I love winding you up.

Tonight I am searching for Morocco flights and we shall hopefully go and book everything next week! I am super excited about this. Its going to be a real adventure and I can't think of anyone I'd rather share it with.

Tomorrow I shall be in labs for 6 hours but I look forward to taking my laptop and either doing notes or playing on worms.

And nothing seems familiar here, on the other side of this town...

Today it is Sunday and its throwing it down! I have had another busy week with spending over 37 hours in labs and another 2 in lectures and stuff. Its really killing my drive to do work. Especially as I have coursework due in on Wednesday. That seems to be going OK though.

Karen and I went to Church for a bonfire and fireworks on Wednesday which was great fun, it was hilarious listening to Dan and Rom and trying to keep out of the way of the giant fireworks box. We went to Meadowhall on Friday afternoon and had a look at various things including loads of books that we'd like and camera gear although I wasn't allowed to play with the D3 which was a shame, but I guess its for my own good.

Hopefully we shall book our Morocco holiday within the next two weeks! I am incredibley excited abou the prospect of that. I love going to new places and there is no one I would rather go exploring with than Karen. Although I am feeling a bit sad we have to choose between being alone or going somewhere with our friends, I think we are making the right choice. Plus Morocco is way more interesting (read: photogenic) than Spain anyway.

I found a puppycam earlier this week which has been keeping my madamoiselle and various others entertained. They are so cute! But we aren't allowed to have one when were older because they would be too stubborn. Karen and I were talking about crufts earlier and I am secretly very excited about going! I can't wait to see her in her element. It'll be more impressive than Laura in lush!

Don't ever feel that you're alone, I'll never let you down, I'll never leave you dry...

I haven't blogged in ages because of work and general busyness!

Firstly winkles are the most boring animals in the world and continue to hamper my experiments by falling off or dieing which is most inconsiderate of them! I am stuck in labs for 5 hours a day for the next couple of weeks and its seriously killing my enthusiasm and getting in the way of other work which sucks as that seriously restricts Karen time!

We had a lovely weekend in the Lake District last weekend, although the weather was abysmal on the Saturday and we almost got trapped in Lakeland, but I had lots of bacon adn hopefully have some good shots from the lovely walk we had on the Sunday morning.

I had a great time at the kids party last night and my cape was amazing! I love Karen to bits, I can't believe how cool the cape was. We also had a fun time at Opal. Alex was a hilarious spiderman.

I am now going to try and resurrect my printer so I can print stuff out for church tomorrow!

Ooh and we get our awesome biology hoodies tonight! Massive excitement!
