xansSo, I missed Lost last night, for a couple of reasons. I missed the first half because of my Physics test that ran from 7:10pm to 8:50pm. (I probably failed it, but reason #2 is why I don't care) I missed the rest of it because I decided to go along with Shan, who I had been talking with before the test, to check out this dance class that was supposed to be going on at the Rec centre. We got there, learned the steps, but were out the doors within five minutes because it wasn't all that interesting. (I danced with Shan *whee!*) And since I had "nothing better to do" I went with Shan back to his hall to watch I-Robot and have a celebratory bottle of wine for getting past the first mid-semester test.
Oh, so pleasantly buzzed was I. Also found I-Robot to be not that bad a movie, but that could be because I was in the beginning stages of alcohol-induced happiness. Afterwards, ever the gentleman he is, Shan offered to walk me back to my hall. And I invited him in to see how the original homestead is so much different from his hall. He was v. v. envious of my huge room.
So, today I ended up doing something that left me in pain, but laughing.
There was a thunderstorm. Oh, mighty thunder and lightning. It was brilliant. And I was happily inside doing my Bio of Cells lab (not quite so happily). And then I had two lectures. Once the lectures were done, I was done for the day, and began my fruitless search for the place to get my immunisation. Heading off in onecompletely wrong direction, I was walking down some stairs when I slipped. Completely lost my balance and sprawled on my arse in the middle of the stairs.
Did anyone who saw me fall laugh?
No.
Did I?
Oh hell yes.
Did anyone ask if I was all right?
No. They just stopped or turned back to stare or waited for me to get out of the way. So I said, "I'm all right," as I got up and walked along, wincing at the fact my arse is now bruised.
I had every intentions of getting my Meningicocal B immunisation, but it turns out I'm not very good at reading maps the first two or three times. This leads to some confusion, getting lost, and wasting a bunch of time, so didn't get it today. At least now I've figured out wherever the hell it was I meant to end up. I have a chance at winning a PS2 for this. Oooh. No clue what I'd do with one, since I own no games and no DVDs.
Oh!
I totally forgot to mention this earlier. Like, days ago. Weeks ago even. Living in the halls, of course we have fire alarms. And we had a fire drill. It's the practice drill, so we know where to go, and who our Fire Warden is, etc. Of course they had a little incentive for people to do the drill properly and quickly: the fastest hall would win a PS2.
Well, we won it. Woohoo!
And the other day I came back from a walk to find a fire truck outside our hall and the alarm going. Turns out Jing burnt some toast pretty bad on accident and just created a lot of smoke. By the time Kate called the Fire Dept. to tell them it wasn't a fire, the truck was already on its way. So that was some minor excitement.
Hmmm. Tomorrow I'm going to meet someone offline that I met online first. She's not the first person I've ever met that way, or even the first ljer. But,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
blue_raven has kindly offered to let me borrow her tape of last night's episodes of Scrubs and Lost. Thanks so much! (Yes, I'm being careful, don't worry.)
Fin.
