Diary Entry
7.06 pm I can't believe I made it through today, and without a single codeine! I was at uni at 9.00 this morning, and I finished just after 6.00. I'm absolutely wrecked, but I'm pleased that I'm beating this infection thing.
It was my last criminal justice seminar! Yippee! That means every other Thursday morning I don't have to be there at 9.00. I still have tort law on the alternate Thursday, but that's better than every Thursday. It also means that the days when I have to stay until 6.00, I'm not there at 9.00.
I ran into Kay and Kerry at lunchtime today. It was great chatting to them because it was like we'd known each other ages instead of only meeting last week. I guess I mean I'm glad to get back and find out that the friends we all made are still our friends instead of going back to acting like we don't know each other. Evidently the rumours going around about me are: 1) I shagged "Dan"; 2) I shagged "Peter"; and 3) I'm really Dan's wife. All of them are hilarious, and I don't really care because I know the truth. Hey, if they're talking about you, it means they're thinking about you, right? Still, compared to one of the girls in the group, at least the gossip about me is relatively harmless. She turned out to be a real bully on the trip, and very few people seem to have ended up liking her.
Kay also told me about a masters programme in law that's new at uni, and I'm going to check into it because I have always wanted to study for my masters. Let me rephrase that. I want to study for it and actually FINISH the darn thing! Now I just have to check into it and convince Simon. Usually he says "Whatever you want to do", but you never can tell.
It looks like I'm spending the weekend with criminological research methods instead of doing something fun. I'm not usually that much of a geek, but this assignment is doing my head in, and since I have three assignments and three exams, I don't want to leave it to chance at the last minute. I did a good job on my first assessment in that module, I don't want to ruin it.
Shell took Morgan to hospital today to get the results of all the tests they ran on his heart. Great news, too! He doesn't have a hole in his heart, just a noisy heart! Considering everything about Morgan is noisy, that didn't surprise me one bit. He's little but loud.
I chatted with Jamie a bit today, but he seemed a bit out of sorts. I hope it wasn't something I said. I tend to ramble on sometimes and don't pay any attention to what I'm saying. It's a habit I've tried to get out of but it doesn't always work. I need to learn to engage my brain first, then my mouth.
I was a bit embarrassed when I went into my criminal law seminar this evening because it's the first time I've seen that particular tutor since the trip. I wondered if he'd say anything about me, but he was a real gentleman, which runs contrary to popular opinion. He didn't mention anything about it, even when asked, and after class he stopped to ask me if I'd recovered. He didn't make a single remark that was out of line, embarrassing or perverted. The gentlemanly side again.
8.54 pm I must be getting old. I need sleep, and lots of it. Early night for me tonight. I was going to study, but I've used my brain too much today and it wants to go on strike if it isn't rested.
10.04 pm So much for an early night. I forgot I had to take another antibiotic before going to bed so had to wait for a while. I've been sorting out photos online. Oh fun.
