Japanese tourists
Oct. 8th, 2005 05:57 pmThe college is open to the public today. It's the first time since I've arrived here, and as I assume it's the same across all of them, a word to the wise: do not, if you can help it, stand for too long framed by the college doorway. I did it this morning, idly sorting through my post, and when I looked up a gaggle of Japanese tourists were happily taking pictures of me. There were more tourists in the garden quad. I'm hoping never to get over the fact I live here.
Talking of post, I've been having rather a lot of it, and all very interesting, too. A postcard from
amchau - thank you! - and a letter from
hathy_col, not intended for me but for our mutual friend. It has been delivered. My favourite so far has been the post-it note adventures of girl!Doctor, Jack and Rose, anonymously sent. The postmark should give it away, but it's too blurred to read. Whoever you are, you're a star.
This afternoon, I ran a few errands and ended up at G&D's (it's an ice-cream place) for the
ou3fs meeting. I met lots of people, including
jacinthsong,
chains_of_irony,
kuteki, and
potatofiend among many. There was much squee. It leaves me with a dilemma; on Monday night, the DocSoc meeting and Queer Drinks at Corpus are at the same time. I really can't decide what to go to. (Are all university Doctor Who societies called "DocSoc"? It seems like it.)
Of course, I may not go to either having expired from work. I have thirteen chapters of Intermediate Microeconomics, accompanying assignments and all my Logic to do before Monday evening. See me cry. I've spent all afternoon working (and missing out on Serenity! Waaah.) and will probably have to do the same tomorrow. And then Monday is full of lectures, as are Tuesday and Wednesday (although I hope to make time for lunch with
me_ves_y_sufres), but on Thursday, my parents are coming to visit! I'm really looking forward to seeing them; they'll only be here a day, but it'll be nice.
Urgh. More Varian and consumer choice and boring utility functions and stuff like that. And because I'm terminally indecisive, a poll.
[Poll #586121]
Dinnertime.
Edited to add: Oh, arse. Just got a sweet email from the president of the LGBsoc asking me to pre-Queer-Drinks-drinks at Oriel. If I don't go I'll feel so guilty.
