Oct. 2nd, 2008 01:14 pmSo, DocSoc went really well last night! An attempt to get to Morrisons led to my back spasming, which meant that we basically had no refreshments for the meeting. OH NOES I cried, and got the whole committee to rock up an hour early and sent them to Tescos for food while I sat on the sofa gingerly.
As lots of people turned up, I did my opening spiel, and then we had a mild crisis about the DVD player. Whilst this was resolved, we had straw polls "Hands up if you love Rose!" "Hands up if you want to shove Rose off a cliff!" (It was quite close, that one.)
When the DVD player turned up, we watched 'Spearhead from Space' which, in my opinion, is one of the best episodes of Who. I'm sorry, but I love it unconditionally. Even better, so did the forty-strong audience! They cheered, laughed, and took the whole thing in the spirit it was intended. We even got people to stay for the EGM and be in the committee, meaning there may well be a committee when all but three of us graduate in May! HURRAH.
In other news, I went to see my dissertation supervsor this morning and made quite frankly foolish promises regarding how much reading I was expecting to have done. My tactic of crying at him re: summer ("... and then everything was sorting itself out and then I had a car accident so quite frankly you'd have to really put some effort in to make matters worse!") worked, fortunately, and I did seem to impress him with my genuine enthusiasm.
Oh, and incidentally; freshers flu with whiplash? A NEW WORLD OF DISCOMFORT. The worst part is that I have yet to discover a position that does't make my back hurt or block up my sinuses.
And now for getting some work done. Possibly.
