The Official Nonsense Thread

[Caspin]

Ah, cleaning out old emails and mucking about on the internet? Yes, that definitely sounds like revision/exam season is well under way! I'm kind of glad that email and the internet were only in their infancy when I was taking exams. They make it so easy for time to get away from you. Having said that, I managed to find plenty of other distractions. Like making massively detailed, colour-coded planners and timetables, which was so much more satisfying than the actual revision and occupied plenty of the time timetabled to be spent on revision (thus necessitating the making of a new timetable!). The Sims 1 came out when I was in the last year of university, but I still managed to get work done by being very disciplined. After I'd spent all that time, money and effort, failure was not an option over some computer game!

Good luck in the exams to you and everyone else slogging away at the moment!

The tube strike has finished for this week, with another, longer one planned for next week. I've been able to get around as usual by bus and on my feet, but it's so slow because the roads and the pavements are clogged up with people, many of them exhausted and/or totally lost! You really have to have your wits about you if you are trying to get somewhere at a certain time. Normally I'm in no hurry and quite enjoy just ambling about and seeing what's going on, but I hate being late, so I've been doing my best dashing around for the last few days.

Did manage to get to the theatre last night to see "A Taste of Honey". It was a good production, plenty of humour and I enjoyed hearing some northern accents.
