Hi ppl! :)
to joon: MY week was... weird... i'll leave you to judge if it was better or worse... haha...
the whole week is too long a story, so i'll just tell the weirder bits... :P
we've just begun our practical anatomy classes this week... quite fun, though the smell is rather... unforgettable. heh... strangely, though, these classes make us really hungry... you can hear stomachs rumble in the dissecting room! you'd think it'd be the other way round... we don't get to dissect, though, not like Cambridge... we just study and play about with cadaveric material that has been dissected for us. :P
I live in a flat with 4 other girls - 2 medics, and 2 psychology students... the psychology students have a 2-day week, i think... at least, it sure seems like that... they throw parties every night in our flat... loads of noise... every day i meet people i've never met before in my flat... especially in the later hours of the night, and unearthly hours of the morning... and today i made a new friend, and when he heard where i'm staying, he was like, "oh,
that flat! how many people stay there? I see loads of people going in all the time..." haha...
then 2 nights ago, at about 11 plus, i heard lots of noise in the kitchen... it was REALLY annoying me, cos i was trying to calculate the answer to one of my biochem tutorial questions... so I decided to go out and tell whoever it was off. And when i opened the door, guess what was the first sight that hit me? there was this guy whom i don't know, standing in the kitchen - and hence right in front of my door! - clad in only his undies -
red briefs! I nearly fainted... there were a whole group of other guys standing around him, thumping him on the back, and being generally rowdy... they all turned around when i opened the door, and he said "hello..." ... then he went like, oops! and quickly tried to cover himself up with his hands... i was too stunned to speak, so i rolled my eyes and slammed the door... they cleared off after that.... :P
after i'd recovered, and finished my tutorial questions, i ventured out again to get something to eat... and thankfully, this time there was only one of my friends, Rupert, sitting in the kitchen and talking to his girlfriend on Skype... when he saw me, he said, "Sorry... forgot to tell you not to open the door..."
me: "It's okay... do you know them?"
him: "Nope..."
me: "What were they doing?"
him: [shrugs] "No idea..."
this place is so bizarre...
and today i found out that the River Don runs right through Seaton Park, which is right next to the halls of residence where i'm staying... and the river runs right behind our halls! But what really got me was that if you walk through the park, you can get right to the river's edge and dangle your feet in the water... :) :) :) the leaves are just beginning to turn up here... fall has officially begun in Aberdeen! It's a lovely place... roses everywhere... haha... but i'll quit making you jealous now and get back to work... long live PM1!!!!
