So, I passed my exams. As expected, dragged down my mark in quite frightening ways for modern and church history but unexpectentedly KICKED ARSE in medieval. Huzzah!

Unfortunately, I have spent the last two days cleaning pressure sores and handing out cups of tea and generally wondering at what part all this bloody education became useful. Such is life. It's not a bad job - I'm much less rushed off my feet than when I do cleaning work, actually, because it goes from OH MY GOD MAD BUSY EVERYTHING MUST BE DONE to wandering around and just poking your head around the corner and checking people are, you know, still breathing.

Bloody hell, though, I sincerely hope I fall off the mortal coil before I ever end up as a patient in one of those places. It's a nice home, nice attentive staff, clean, all that malarky, but the state of most of this poor people is just terrible.

Er, yes. Away from this morbid theme (I spent last night drinking copiously with Christine to try and forget the fact I have to spend my sumer working there and also because catching up with Christine was severely overdue) I am, in fact, now off for a couple of weeks. I am off to Cambridge land on Friday (yay!!!!) and that is a good thing indeed, and then I can get around to my grand plan of seeing people on my somewhat limited days off. When I'm not being like Lady Macbeth, obviously, because oh sweet lord there is not enough time for me to clean my hands as much as I'd like because there are but twenty-four hours in the day.

Also, I am officially in love with Human Nature/Family of Blood. *nods*

Yay! Well done on that. :) ...I want my results now!

Homes like that are very hard places to work, I think. Another friend of mine did work experience in one for just a week, and found it depressing as hell. But. Um. Money! Great CV things! Days off! *hugs*

Do you know, I got paid more to clean toilets. That is the most depressing thing, really.

The one good thing about my uni is the results come out bloody quick, which is nice. On the downside, you have to find out sooner...

Son Of Mine/Baines was *blatantly* one of the best Who villians in a long time! I reckon they should get that actor to play young Voldemort when making the Half-Blood Prince film.

Also plays Will Scarlett in the new Robin Hood, which I fangirl massively. (See icon.) MY BRAIN IS BROKEN.

Hehehe I know! He was cooler in Doctor Who, though.

Me too. Me too. I am trying to write fic and searching madly for icons and generally behaving like a mad, mad fangirl. Never thought I'd fall for a character called John Smith, of all things - to start with, it sounds far too much like an ex-Labour leader and the name of one your tendons.

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

My tendon is called Arthur, thank you very much.

John Smith, according to my Dad, was the 'last great hope' of Labour. I feel rubbish pointing out that his reforms bought in Blair. Aww. But oh! John Smith. And oh! Doctor.

DO YOU KNOW THAT WE WILL BE IN THE SAME BIT OF THE COUNTRY FOR THE LAST TWO EPISODES OF THE SERIES? And more importantly, I'm on early shifts or have the day off for both of these evenings?

I was about to reply to this with WOE, alas, I am GOING TO INDIA. And then I realised. I am, but not this week. UTOPIA, YAAAAAAY!

You rock. I hug you. That is all.
