I have a headache. It was temporarily alleviated by a diet coke, but alas it has returned...

i never write anything personal in my blog, about how i am, what i have done etc. I don't think i particualry want to... but therin lies a fact. So how am i? I am headachey.

but other than that relatively wonderful. I will explain why i realise that life is wonderful

i have forgotten some of the reasons

1. there were lots and lots and lots of Deloitte people all over Cambridge the other week handing out Deloitte promo stuff. I was sucked into taking 2 fliers because they said i could win something. I entered the competition under a fake name, and won! So that was sad as i never got my prize... so i entered again, twice, and won twice! This made me very happy. I have two email addresses, if i had more i would have won more prizes i am sure. You answer 3 questions and if you get them right then you get a code which you test with a piece of celophane on the promo leaflet (don't ask) and it tells you if you won a prize. And I am certain you always get a prize if you get the questions right. The reason why is i suspect it works in Deloitte's favour to give some price to all who enter, as then they will feel happy and good-natured towards Deloitte. If you lose you are sad and vow never to work for them. So I won a £20 virgin gift voucher, and a USB lava lamp. I was so very very happy. Which i was using in the law faculty one day, when it attracted over my friend Felix (what on earth is that Rachel? Why is it plugged into the computer?). I explained the story, and he was so excited he asked for the details of the competition. I gave him the leaflet and cellophane the next day. He told me yesterday he has entered 10 times and won every time, largely exploiting his father's numerous email addresses, but having the prizes mailled to himself. I wonder what he has won? It also amused me that my gift voucher came in an A3 padded envelope.

here is the lava lamp at the top (cos i can't move it cos I/blogger/we are useless). This is the exact one, only mine is blue

2. my family came to visit me and the weather was nice so we went punting and we got lunch at Agora even though it was packed and there were 9 of us.

3. I found my favourite book on Amazon for £1.29 brand new. It came today.

4. I discovered some excellent shoe laces at As Seen on TV, even though i hate that stand for having so much overpriced junk. Camden has so much cheaper junk. By junk i don't mean drugs, though Camden has a lot of drugs too. when i was 15 i was offered drugs at Camden market and i didnt realise because i couldnt work out what on earth the guy was talking about. Thankfully my friend Chris rescued me by dragging me off...

i hate blogging cos the words appear slower than you type so when you make corrections it all goes wrong. this is frustrating. does this happen to everyone?

5. I found 40p in a vending machine today when i was buying milkshake. the milkshake was comforting in the midst of PMT

6. When i bough a pactket of mints from another vending machine a few weeks ago i somehow got two packets of mints come out for the price of one

7. my friend Jen gave me an orange and an orange pouch she bought me in Vietnam (no the orange wasn't from vietnam)

8. My new supervisors are awesome especially Dr Oke

9. My comparative law lecturer likes me and chats to me after the lectures, even though i am always late

10. Heffers gave me a free mug

11. God answered my prayer

12. I am eating a mandarin

Mind Soup

some things that I think sometimes of late

why is it that I shiver when I am very very very tired?

does putting pink fairy lights in my window make it look like a red light disctrict?

Should I keep my coke bottle collection when I graduate, or have I carted all 30 of them around long enough now?

Should I cut my hair?

When will my book arrive in the post?

If a duck was crossing the road could it get away fast enough?

When will I next have time to do my laundry? What will I do when I run out of socks?

Where did my rainbow fountain pen go? Is it still in the office from work experience?

Should I join Middle Temple or Lincoln's Inn?

Should I practice criminal law or medical negligence? Can I apply for both?

Why am I always late?

Why do I wear holes in the heels of all my shoes in under a term's wear?

Does my room air freshener smell really bad?

Why do I never have any milk? Why have I had an unopened soya milk on my shelf for 3 weeks?

When will my parents and uncle come to visit me?

Which Taking Back Sunday album do I want to buy with my gift voucher?

Where can I get very large brown paper bags?

What is the liquid inside my lava lamp?

Where is the picture David drew for me?

Will Milsom come to the annual dinner? Will he autograph my text book?

When am I too old for rainbow socks?

Should I get a bicycle?

Why don't ducks fall over when they fall asleep standing up?

Why have I not left yet... I will be late...
