Frivolous Entry Ahead
I've been lying in bed comatose for the past few days due to a very bad sore throat and a dry cough which my mother ominously predicted might cause me to die (the weather's so cold! It could turn into pneumonia or bronchitis and you know I don't want to scare you but it could be fatal), only getting up to drink boiled water and then stagger back into bed like a constipated chicken.
Anyway, it's feeling much better today because I overdosed on cough syrup and lozenges and am drinking so much water that I fear suffering from water-drunkeness - something I've feared suffering from ever since Secondary School biology lessons where we learnt about the effects of drinking too much water. On the upside, though, apparently have lost weight - Selina (my scholarship officer) exclaimed excitedly when she saw me - "Ruthh!! Ni Shou le!" (Ruth! You're thin!) and when I asked Andrew for confirmation he dithered around and then said that he'd noticed that I was thinner a few weeks ago and when I pressed him for details he said that he'd been wondering then why I hadn't put on any weight in halls.
I'm happy now.
I managed to make another coursemate friend today; he's someone from Biology who sat opposite me in practicals on Friday. His friend is the Frodo lookalike, and when I told him that his friend looked like Frodo he exclaimed delightedly, "I like you! What's your name?" and we became friends just like that. He's got the funniest gingery colouring and the most humourous expression and the nicest way of calling groups of females "Girls" - "See you later, Girls" - and the interestingest accent - he's from somewhere between Liverpool and Manchester. No, he's not goodlooking and I'm not interested in him (these two facts not related whatsoever), but it's good, good, good that I know one more person from Biology and so I won't be at a loss when I study and something pops up that I don't understand.
I'm very blessed.
The German market in Millenium Square is selling pretzels and Christmas Candy and toffee apples and German ale and I think I'm going to pop down and buy something for Steve to make up for ruining his shirt - although he told me a week ago that he'd got blackcurrant down my skirt and he can't get it off - and he still has my skirt.
Anyway... my stomach rumbles and I
go
