cybermuleBlech - feel like shite :( I need even more sleep and I think I might be allergic to pasta, if such a thing is possible.
Anyhoo -
Fairly busy weekend - the two main highpoints were celebrating my bro's birthday. Despite having to clean my mum's place up (*rolls eyes*, we still had a good evening watching THe Untouchables and X-Men. Didn't notice until now that Xavier is played by the same guy that played Sejanus in I Claudius (a veritable breeding ground of quality actors :)). The films were both quite good (OK, I'll be honest, X-Men definitely didn't bear a second watch, and I fell asleep!) and the curry was damn fine!
Sunday was nearly a total washout - I didn't realise Big Fish would be so popular, so turning up 10 minutes after the start of the afternoon showing was a mistake! However, it did give me chance to get tickets for the next showing and buy a couple of t-shirts for work. And I got them from ASDA for less than £2 each, so I am now the queen of uncool. Nyah! :p I hate buying clothes for work, especially as there's an enforcedly higher turnover than my everyday clothes (I still have clothes from when I was 14, and I'm proud of it!)
Big Fish was rather ace, but I'll leave the review until tomorrow, as someone has bought me a ticket for tonight too :) (Get out of the work pub-quiz - YAY!).
Monday was the first day of my Old English course at Bristol Uni. I was already rather nervous as I've never done an arts course, and arriving 5 minutes late to find the old(er) ladies in full-flow of translation was off-putting. It was just like being at Uni the first time around - I was strung out, I'd done no work, and I didn't know where I was supposed to be. Decided that I didn't like the old ladies (loud, rude), and finally found my feet and showed off a little :) Also decided that social workers are almost exclusively scary after having a long debate with one of the guys on my course regarding whether I was going to eat when I wasn't hungry. I always get the impression that they're personality-typing and psychologically assessing me :) Oh - and one of the girls in my seminar is breathtakingly gorgeous, so that provides eye-candy in the duller moments :)
Anyhoo - the short summary is that I eventually felt that I liked the course* . And that I ate sushi for lunch :)
* More and more I come to the conclusion that this is the main definition of the "Feeling" MBTI type - that we make our judgements based upon a transitory and personal impression. So first I hated the OE course, then, even though nothing had changed, I liked it. Whereas "Thinkers" tend to be more logical and constant. For me it's mostly stress-related - I don't deal too well with new environments and (forced ;)) sensory overload, so I tend to react with my heart rather than my head, I think. Would my MBTI result be different if I'd never taken the test before and I did it now? (note: INTJ/INFJ/ISFP have all come up as results at various points.)

Just cut down on stuff that contains gluten for a while and you'll probably feel better
Thank you, Apel. I don't generally eat many cereals, but ironically, since I started trying to be healthy and eat more breakfast/pasta, I've been feeling quite bloated and unwell :(

Well, give your poor body a chance, it's having withdrawal symptoms from being used to bad food. ;) Suddenly you are treating it well and it doesn't know wtf is going on. Haha I'm exaggerating of course.
