Ah Sunday night. Normally on Sunday evenings I have the 'ugh-I-cant-believe-I-have-lectures-AGAIN-tomorrow-morning...' feeling but not any more! Nope, no more lectures for me till September! whoohoo! But unfortunately I have an exam THIS Friday which means I got loads of yucky revision to do tomorrow instead. booo!
Today was a very unproductive day in terms of revision. I was out from about 1:30pm til 8pm. First of all I helped out a someone's good-bye garden party with my friend Chris H. We were the waiters, serving drinks and nibbles to the 40-odd guests ( I dunno how we got roped into it!) I learned how to make pimms, which I have never done before, so that was kinda exciting. Then I went to the evening mass at our Chaplaincy which was good, but a bit quiet cos there is no singing or anything ( I normally go to the earlier mass on Sunday but decided not to today so I could work before all my stuff in the afternoon) (unfortunately I didn't get much work done).
Then I met a friend of mine who came round for the day from Oxford, that was quite cool.
Then Chris wanted to go to McDonalds, but the mere thought made me ill...
There used to be a time when going to McD's was a super fun treat! I've never been more often than once every 3 months or so, but I cant stand it any more! All those stomach cramps that I get after eating a BigMac meal have put me off totally and the transient pleasure that you may get from eating it just aint worth the physical repercussions! My digestive system seriously does not like BigMacs! Plus, because I find them so dry I always put on loads of ketchup, but am getting a bit paranoid that one of these days they may discover that a certain artificial chemical in the ketchup is cancer-causing...which would be very worrying given the volumes I consume when at McDs!
So instead we got a take-away from some semi-dodgy Greek place. I tried not to look as the cook's bare hands touched absolutely every single food-item that went into my kebab...and then answered the phone...punched numbers in the till..handled money...put food in his mouths...touched the counter-top.....*shudders*
There are few things that really really bug me! Honestly, I'm not weird! But people touching the food I am about to consume with their unclean hands that have been touching everything else in the local vicinity is one thing that really makes me icky! It always has done though, even when i was younger. Like I remember when I was about 8 or something, my friends and I always used to get ice-lollies after going swimming in the pool in Saudi, everyone would want to try everyone else's ice-cream or lolly and I just used to be so grossed out about it!!
I also really hate it when people handle communal food, LICK THEIR FINGERS, and then go back to touching the communal food!! ewwww!! When that happens I always avoid the bits of the food that were touched by the licked fingers! bleeeugh!
anyway, not sure why I am so ranty this evening...
tomorrow I have nothing much to look forward to except more of the same revision!
We are having a massive Catholic Chaplaincy mass in hour of our patron saint, St. John Fisher. There will also be a free lunch afterwards. I will go...but I know it will end up wasting my entire afternoon and I wont get any work done!
ugh, the joys of revision...
I actually wish this Sunday night that I WOULD have lectures tomorrow...anything is better than being 4 days away from an exam!
