gemfyredammit I hate these coughs, they are just dry and unproductive and make my sides hurt. When my throat so needs coughs that scratch and bring up crap.
I intended to do a start on my latest lab report tonight seeing we only have one week which is TOO LITTLE TIME! Juggling the rest of uni and my life with these damn lab reports is near on impossible. This week's is on how Artemia (i.e. Brine shrimp, i.e. Sea Monkeys (tm)) tolerate certain levels of toxins like ammonia and bicarbonate and carbon dioxide in the water. Those toxins are relevant because that's what they excrete. AND on human kidney function - which is why I was a guinea pig to drink a litre of water then pee in a bucket every 20 minutes for 3 hours. The bright side to this was that I didn't hafta do any REAL work, which is why I did it. :) 2 people did water, 2 did glucose, 2 did beer (Emu Export of all things, but I hate any beer anyway) and 2 did saline/salt water (they had to be bribed with Mars Bars). Was kinda interesting. Due to me being sick/throwing up etc my first sample was awfully concentrated, I was shocked seeing it against the saline drinker across from me who had really light pee. Mine you could barely see through. It cleared up after I drank the water tho.
Okay, enough about my pee.
What else do I have to say?
I have to say that wattlebirds swooping and chasing crows and magpies is so cool!!
I have to say that spring is almost here!! and that means summer is closer!! WOOHOO to summer!!! Sure I am gonna be doing a whole unit during Janurary but it is the unit I most wanna do - hency why I am doing it over summer. It's animal beahviour, must must must do it and stupid uni doesn't offer it during semester, bah.
Matt is moving over the weekend, that will be fun. Monday and Tuesday will be a barrel of laughs seeing I'll have no way to contact him! :( Organising bowling will fun.
Hehe, mum was sitting in the lounge room holding Lachlan (nephew) who is fast asleep. Of course she was sitting in the chair that Phantom likes. So Phantom jumped up on her to discover that her spot was taken. Poor Phantom.
Been playing Sims for the last few hours instead of assignment. BAD Sims, but I haven't played in so long and needed my fix. I love the beach hotel, I wish I could go there.
