OK so it has gotten to deadline time again so naturally I am wasting my time doing anything but write my report hence the second post within the space of a week :-D

Well paper writing is going ok, still a fair bit to do but materials and methods are now complete and Intro is pretty much done!!

Jeremy and I have just booked flights for a little holiday in Florence in November, i cant wait. The tickets were really cheap on ryanair so have a look, they are doing free flights at the mo so we got ours, two returns for £50.

Cannot wait till this is handed in, almost there!

Well I realise it has been a wee while since my last post. I have had several of you complaining to me for being a lazy arse so here you go!!

Well Exams were successfully completed. Well they were completed, how successfully I still don't know cause the uni still hasn't given us our grades back :( They are being a bit poor just now too by sticking courses into all the computer rooms so we cant use them for writing up. Bit of a bugger but many letters of complaint have now been sent :)

Since the end of exams I have been back working on my project. Things are going pretty well. I have some good results and some not so good but I guess thats what happens in research. I just need to be able to write it all up. Three weeks on Friday is the deadline so I better get a shifty on :)



For those who don't know, the above pictures are trypanosomes. The first kindly borrowed from Paisley university of all places ;) and the second from MBL. These are the little blighters that I am working on at the moment. Thouroughly interesting little bugs!

Jeremy and I went home last weekend for my cousins wedding which was fab, had a really good time. Jeremy is an expert dancer and his first attempt at a Ceildgh was very very impressive :)

This weekend my other cousins were down visiting. Had such a great weekend. We had dinner and drinks and shopping. We went to see Chicago the musical which is fantastic, and we also learnt to dance like Oompa Loompa's. We watched the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on Saturday night and discovered one of the dvd extra features was a dance tutorial. We have some great pictures.




Notice will you please the size of the flat that we had four people living in. Quite impressive I thought :-D I am really looking forward to this weekend though. I have nothing to do except uni work. Will enjoy the lie in!!

Right well that will do you just now, will write anything interesting up as it happens :)
