Quote of the moment:
On...A...Roll. - me.
The yin and the yang? Boasting's bad for you? Anything I say comes back and bites me in the arse?
For whichever reason I got paid back somewhat for that extended self glorification. Got so knackered at circuits last night that didn't go do drawing afterwards, as I meant to. Circuits plus ergos on Wednesday combined to give me a stiff arse, plus the resistance stuff on my weak leg made that twinge all day. Failed to get out of bed early either, so had severe issues with my drawing. Attempted to do a Rolf Harris speedy "Can-You-See-What-It-Is-Yet?" version, but failed due to a miscalculation in scaling the dimensions (it was unhandily slightly too big to fit as 1:100, so I went with 8:1000). I then had to start again since I'd made such a mess, and as a result will have to slip it under the lecturers door by Monday. Tsk tsk, old habits die hard, etc. Also missed lunch/supper as a result, eating one apple all day.
Got back to my flat at 17.30 to find I'd locked myself out of my room due to my STILL unfixed lock. Had to wait in reception for a student warden to open it for so long that I only managed to leave for the rowing club at about 17.53... 3 miles and about 12 minutes later, I fell through the door of the club covered in mud from the waist down. Shortest way = path beside river. Path beside river = very muddy. D'oh!
Obviously in peak physical condition at this point. Got on ergo, did my 2k test, tried to keep at my target split of 1m45s per 500m, which with start and finish sprints would be under 7 minutes. Kept it up til about half way, then started dropping gradually off the pace... by the end I was managing about 1.55, which only improved to 1.45 for the final sprint. Bah. Got 7m15s in the end. 8 seconds better than my previous test time, but I've done better in the gym. Apparently the amount of time I've spent in the gym is actually well above average, so they were especially disappointed with me. Sigh.
On the plus side (fingers crossed no bad effects) I did collect my mail when forced to go to reception which included a belated monetary gift, I have plenty of scope for an impressive score next time which, since I should have taken the test a week ago, will be this weekend or next, and I'm meeting someone tomorrow afternoonish to go to the cinema or suchlike.
To balance that out a bit, I've got rowing at 11.30am tomorrow, which will probably be ergos since the river's still high. Bums. Or maybe my chance to shine? But probably bums.

Who is "someone"?
Also, if they won't fix your door, tell them it's a fire hazzard. Seriously, anything you say is a fire hazzard they fix straight away.
Lol...
Erm, I could try but we did have a light in the bathroom which was shorting out the flat, and all they did was take off the cover.
Er... great...
When the water came through the kitchen ceiling 3 days later they actually replaced the light (having apparently found the leak).
