I am ill and that is rather tragic, for everyone else has already gone through the illness stage and is now getting better and I thought that I had for once survived unscathed but sadly it is not the case. It is never the case, my immune system is poo. Throat hurts rather insistently second day in a row and I know that when I wake up tomorrow I will feel utterly awful.

But I need to write an essay tomorrow and read for another one and not be ill. :(

Weekend was good, spend ages in the library, because all my books are confined (For being such a popular option, IR sucks when it comes to books, they are rarer than gold :( ) but the library closes early on weekend and they kick you out and if you have no books you can't do work and are free!

So went to the Duke of Cambridge for half prize awesome cocktail, then out to dinner, so nice to do that without the guilt.

Watched Blood Diamond. It is amazing. Recommend it to everyone, it is just so real, behind Leo's dodgy accent and the random thing with the random reporter there is such a powerful story and it is real and it hurts. It's one thing to be aware that there are child soldiers in Africa, a very different kind of knowledge is seeing them. I was in tears for a large part of it, starting to sob only about three minutes into the film. Amnesty are currently doing a campaign and the facts are scary.

Today was the coldest day this term, after the mildness of the last week it was a shock to go outside wrapped up in a million jumpers and scarf and gloves and feel so utterly, horribly cold.
