First day back at university, although we only had one lecture. The two week easter holiday was good but it's good to get back and focus most of my brain cells again on what I do-Pharmacy. Afterwards I spent time in the library, using up a collosal 250 credits on printing lecture notes for Bioscience (that equates to 250 A4 pages) with enough paper to account for a few acres of a rainforest. My computer got hijacked by my classmate Gail who seized the opportunity to add herself to my friends list on bebo without my permission. Curse you, I will have my revenge. And I did, now a big turd graces her whiteboard and demonstrates my absurd lack of maturity.
Afterwards I met with my sister for lunch at Oko. I think it's my first time there. The sushi was good although homemade sushi seems to be profoundly more satisfying. To my sister who may be reading this I'm subtly implying that it's time you made more of your delicious sushi, especially the ones with dried seaweed wrapped aroud the outside. Woops, so much for being subtle.
I Found out that a new J.R.R. Tolkien novel was released, well it will be tommorrow and being the Lord of the Rings fan I am I've ordered my copy on Amazon. It all comes to roughly £11, a good price considering the post and packaging included and it being an impressive hardback. It's called 'Children of Hurin' not 'Children of Urine' as some dimwitted person who I happen to know and who goes to the same university as me suggested. It's apparently darker and more tragic than the Lord of the Rings, as well as being much shorter (300 pages). Somwhat like the Silmarillion which I read about 4 years ago, despite it containing some really good stuff it was a seriously difficult book to read and tested even my patience. It's like reading Don Quixotie, long and with lots of archaic language. Hopefully Children of Hurin will be less taxing.
