It is unusually quiet around as everyone has gone out leaving me to spend my evening writing a rather overdue essay on global justice (!) which is a fabulous topic on which I wish I had had more time to spend. Sadly time has been around in very limited quantities recently. It is technically Friday of 7th week, if I wasn't staying behind to help with interviews (and get paid, yaay!) I would be leaving in a week. I still have two essays to do of course while the historians have finished already and were apparently playing strip volleyball in the main quad. I remember some laughter but moving to the window to check it out had seemed like too much effort at the time.

I should probably go to bed, have rowed today, yesterday and the day before and it is getting a bit too much. Sadly that is it as we have lost again. :( This time was a good loss, as we didn't a) crash into the bank three times or b) had to stop the race 20 seconds in, in order to avoid crashing into a random drifting boat (not out fault!). We lost by a tiny bit and apparently looked pretty good. So this is it with rowing thing. Wish I had won something but despite that it was fun, don't think I will do it next term. Too cold, not a novice meaning more pressure and the fact that competitive sports are not my thing. Though I wouldn't mind occasionally subbing for someone.

My back hurts, I think that I actually spend more time in this chair then anywhere else including my bed. People always come in and laugh at the fact that I seem to permenantly reside in the chair. "In the past week, I have only seen you once not it that chair". "It is like time is still, everytime I come in, it all looks the same, you and that chair" etc. In my defence it is a rather nice chair, I have draped it with my colourful stripy scarf from Athens and all my notes are within reach on the floor, also my laptop and food and what else does one need?

Yeah bed it is, and tomorrow will be more fun.

You're lucky, my room was furnished by a penny-pinching landlord, and my 'desk chair' is actually one of those wooden folding slatted ones. Very uncomfortable and at completely the wrong height for the desk! This is why I try to work on my bed and end up sleeping so much.

Get a pillow! That would make it higher too! It is not a desk chair that I live in, but a sort of arm chair and I put my laptop on my lap when I write cos it is too low for the desk, so it is literally just the chair that I need, heh, completely self sufficient.

Argh, bed talk confused me, what I meant was get a cushion for your chair!

I think I will. And maybe after Christmas I'll bring up my desk chair from home.
