1) I'VE HANDED IN THE DISSERTATION! and I NEVER have to do one again.. hopefully. Quite proud of myself really, I even handed it in a day early.. a rare occurrence with me! I'm normally the type to hand it in on the day about an hour before the deadline, i'm clearly starting to learn from past mistakes. it only took 3 years.
2) also had my final 40% exam today! it did not go well. I left after 25 minutes and definitely left a few pages blank. I expected it to go badly but its still depressing - again, i'm a terrible student. BUT its done done done done done.
3) I'm going home tomorrow! :D i have yet to pack.
4) I feel severely hungover.
5) I was told a few fun facts about pandas today from a Miss Price and Mr Walmsley. When i say facts.. the book was written by a comedian (who i'd never heard of and thus didn't put 2 and 2 together) and each fact was meant to be a joke. I didnt get that either. SO for a good half the day I went around believing that:
i) pandas smell out their ears and hear through their nose
ii) mexicans don't believe in pandas
iii) they can run backwards up to 80kph but can only run forwards at 6kph (along those lines)
iv) a couple of years ago there was a mixup in the beaurocrasy resulting in pandas being officially classified as a nut, not a mammal.
v) pandas only ever hang out in even numbers.
vi) a group of pandas is called a cupboard (not sure if this one is still a joke or not, but it was in the book so i doubt its true)
vii) pandas only have 1 bone in their body, but it's really flexible.
needless to say pandas INSTANTLY became my new favourite animal.
This actually makes me a bit sad. Apparently everyone thought I was playing along with the joke. I was not. I even told some people these facts. Seriously, how in a million years did I believe their ears were their nose? HOW? I'm a biology student for gods sake - surely if this was true I would have heard of it before now?!?
