One for Sorrow
Quote of the moment:
"One for sorrow, two for joy..."
I watched a lone mapgpie scrounging around outside my window while doing my final read-through before my exam this afternoon. My anti-luck continues though: this was the one I did well in. Everyone probably did: it was multiple choice, after all, and most people left as soon as the first hour was up. (In our exams we're allowed to leave an hour after the start, up to half an hour from the end). I waited five minutes to make a couple of final 50/50 decisions and let the queue at the door die down a bit. Sadly there was no phone-a-friend option.
From the exam I went straight to the union pub to join most of my course for the "show your exam paper and get bogoff on the first pint and the third half price" offer. Stayed til nearly 6, went to supper, came back, went around to K3 and started drinking again, went up to K9 and played with their awesome cowboy shooting gallery, then went back to the union for another 4 hours.
While I was there I met our new flatmate. I only found out Olly had moved out (a week ago) this morning when a residences/maintenance guy came to check the room was ready. Oops! Apparently it was because his doorlock was bust open when he came back after Christmas... wasn't anything wrong with the front door though, so I guess it might have been some overexuberant guests... anyway he got to move into Senghennydd Hall and get an en-suite and be catered. Lucky him! We now have a guy who (according to Dai in the club, so reliability not assured) is on an exchange/placement for the spring semester from Princeton in the USA (an Ivy League uni/"college"), studying psychology/philosophy. His name may be Ken, but I didn't really catch it and Dai wasn't sure either!
