So I’m going out to see some comedy with Nat tonight, yay!
But always as I’m trying to get ready, “JO! COME AND DO THE DISHWASHER!!!”
I was practically out the door! I’ve been mooching around the house all day and they choose as I am leaving to give me a job to do?! Ask me 3 hours earlier when I was watching crappy day time TV and I would have jumped at the chance!

Je suis bored out of my skull
And I’m getting an eye infection. And it hurts.
Hmph
Such a creative block! I wanted to get all my writing done this week, I know what I want to write, I see it all so clearly in my head, but I can’t seem to put it down on paper. I guess that was the reason English was always my worst subject! I got shitloads done on the train over to London, it’s the only place I seem to be productive. I’m seriously considering jumping on a train...

I have a lot of updating to do! These past few days have been very hectic.
After my exam on Wednesday I managed to do .. nothing. I literally hit my bed and slept until the sun had gone. Then slept a bit more. I walked back from the Psychology exam with Beth, nice enough person but I hate walking with other people. So I forgot to go to the library to print off notes, didn’t go to tesco to...

90 motherfucking percent, bitches!
Feeling like some kind of Sport Science GOD right now. I ain’t gonna lie, it feels gooooood. I got a Geoff in Psychology!! Wait til I tell Tom tom!!
Geoff
So much for my rolling ability! (NO JO, IT IS A SKILL, YOU JUST LEARNT THIS FROM SPORTS PSYCHOLOGY AND IT WILL BE INVALUABLE INFORMATION IN THE FRICKIN’ EXAM TOMORROW. Ahem.) I baled 3 times today! Twice before 6!
The first time: My fault. Couldn’t roll back up, couldn’t be bothered to try again.
Second time: My fault. It was all going swimmingly (Ha!) until I accidently let go...

I got soul but I'm not a soldier
I’m too excited to revise!!!!
Skiing is so soon now, just 30 days! I was thinking about that when I woke up this morning and got all happy :). It’s going to be interesting skiing with my family again though. So THEN I got thinking about next year when I’m going to organise a trip with friends and went on the website again and got even happier! Slovakia looks immense, I...

73% bitches ..
I passed Physiology, woo hoo!!!! 73% BABY!!!
The exam was a lot kinder than I was expecting, lots of very easy marks to be won! It was a poorly constructed exam, spelling errors, some of the options were the same, one question referenced the wrong data. UoB, we are paying you a lot of money to educate us, stop being so sloppy!
There was one really stupid question; “Outline the pathway of...

So, I have my Physiology exam in just over 10 hours.
Man, I’m fucked!
I hate revising but I really should have started it sooner, I’ve literally been through all the powerpoints today from 3pm to now. So about 8 hours. Energy expenditure is still a bit of a mind fuck, I know the cardiovascular system pretty well but I know I’ll forget something stupid tomorrow and I’ve...

My sulky strop to the tube station
Not being able to find my glasses so I still can’t see anything and I’m getting headaches from squinting
Getting back to halls after Rugby
Listening to my stupid flatmates being all happy and loud and not giving a fuck about me
Being too tired to take my socks off
Not being able to...

Wasting time ..
Boring day.
Not a lot has happened. I waited for an hour for my flatmates to go shopping. Then I went in the kicthen and got food. I took pictures of my room. I opened a Physiology book then shut it very quickly because the knowledge I was attempting to absorb was hurting my brain. I watched the second half of the Arsenal match (RVP, I love thee!). Mostly, I’ve mooched around my room,...

Dear Deidre ..
I have been sending sexy messages to my mum on a social networking site. I know it’s wrong but it’s so exciting. I’m 22 and my dad left us 15 years ago. My mum is 40. I recently went on the computer after her and saw she had been on a social networking site. I was curious so I made up a name for myself and messaged her later from my laptop saying I like older women and I found...

Tears of a clown
So Thursday was majorly depressing. I don’t know what it was about the day because nothing actually happened. Hockey in the morning was actually hilarious, me and Cheryl managed to laugh throughout the whole 2 hours, especially when someone stacked. House had a fantastic one, tripped over her own feet and went face first into the astro! The whole team just collapsed with laughter, we were...
I just told someone she has an “Essexy accent” (Because she’s from Essex, duh). And I’m totally expecting that to be taken the wrong way ..
The only constant ..
MON: Got on the train, back into Ebourne at 4, had Rugby training, got very muddy, sat in my shower fully clothed (again) to try and get all the mud out. Sleep.
(Training cancelled, couldn’t be bothered to go back. Sleep, however, is still correct)
TUE: Slept until 4. Went kayaking, rolled a couple(lots) of times then nearly drowned. Had some dinner. Sleep.
(Eventually got on the train to...

Bastard flatmates cooking bacon.
Why dost thou mock me, Lord? My only love sprung from my only hate!
(Thank you GCSE English Lit! And Google ..)
Cherry on top of my day:
Had a full blown hallucination in the kitchen.
I was making myself a sandwich and getting stuff out of the fridge and I heard someone behind me say, “Food”, clear as day. Except there was no one in the kitchen. So my brain is still trying to fuck with me. It’s not as if someone shouted it from outside, it wasn’t much louder than speaking and no one stuck their head through...
I've broken my fucking leg Sir!!!
It’s been a mixed bag today.
Just about dragged myself out of bed (story of my life, it would seem) and went over to the Uni to pick up my essay: 58% (or 56%, I can’t remember and I can’t be bothered to dig it out of my bag.) Frankly, I’m just relieved it’s above 40%, although I do wish it was higher. I think when it comes to stuff like this, I try and make life as...
Quick sidenote before I head off to Snoresville:
Got into my room and it was so messy I actually started cleaning it. ME. After a while, however, I felt disgustingly productive so I sat back down and ate my tinned spaghetti. BEST MEAL EVER.
My crystal ball is broken ..
Well. This week is shaping up to be quite different to what I thought!
For starters, we didn’t have any training yesterday so I got stay at home for an additional day which was quite nice. Boring, but quite relaxing. My sister was being sniffy about giving me a lift so I walked (read: sulked) my way to the station and hopped on the tube. I find tube journeys quite dull so I was essentially...

Twiddling my thumbs ..
Ok. So I’m definitely going back to Uni tomorrow.
I actually have very little to do, no matter where I go, but Uni is the place I’m meant to be right now so I should go back. Even though I don’t have any food. Well, I do, but no bread or tortilla wraps which form the basis of pretty much all my meals. I like sandwiches.
I think my family are getting a bit fed up of me, my Mum...
PAHAHAH!
Rugby training cancelled! (I shouldn’t sound too excited about that!)
This means instead of arguing with the tube and trains and London flipping Victoria, I can stay at home in bed for another day, woohoo! I would go back, but it makes no sense to go from a place with lots of food and a comfy(ish) bed to somewhere with no food and a comfy(ish) bed. Can you believe it, my Uni bed is now...

Sorry if I’ve been spamming anyone today. I’m just trying to get all my blogging energy out in a reasonable fashion, the next two weeks are going to be very very boring. Having no lectures means I am pretty much going to sleep through the whole of this week. And the week after I’ll only be getting up for exams!
This should give a vague outline of my next few blog posts:
MON:...
:'(
Ellie Goulding and Chloe Madeley have now joined Pixie Lott on my hit list.
EG: Hogging the limelight when Chris and Jayne were dancing and getting to kiss and cuddle with Chris afterwards *sob*
CM: Having CD cuddle her from behind AND pretending to be bad so she kept falling into his arms THEN being pretty good on the night! SOMETHING SMELLS FISHY TO ME! And for being about as famous as me but...
Schneesturm
Why is this Learn German app insistent that I know how to say “hot sauce”? I don’t even like hot sauce! The only way I’d be able to use it in a sentence would be in a restaurant in Germany when I’d call the waiter over and say, “I don’t like hot sauce” (Or “Ich mag es nicht die scharfe soße”), to which he would reply, “Ich konnte es...
Ok, someone take me away from Amazon ..
It’s just below Wikipedia on the list, “Websites Jo should not be allowed to spend too much time on”.
Seriously, I’m a student, I can’t be buying life size Kill Bill posters just because a corner of my room looks a bit bare!
But it’s so tempting ..

Oh.
After half an hour stood in front of the mirror with blood pouring out of my ear, I discover that I didn’t need to repierce my ear, I was just trying to put the earring in the wrong place. So I now have an earring in my ear, a reasonably sized chunk of flesh gouged out next to it and blood covering most of my auricle.
This is why I need to find my glasses, before my ear ends up looking...
