One exam down...

And only one to go - I think I might just prefer this "one exam lots of stuff" approach to the numerous undergraduate exams with slightly less content.

Revision

Is interesting but more so I think if I didn't feel I was rushing through things (or not but I should be).

Coursework Woes

Handed a paper copy of my coursework in today around five minutes late which should be OK but I forgot to submit it electronically before I did so I missed the deadline for that and the folder was locked. I hate electronic sumission - I always forget to do it.

Flapjacks, Attempt 3

I asked Chriss for her recipe a while back but haven't had it so in the meantime I thought I'd trawl the internet for something that might taste roughly similar (i.e. something with treacle). Here's the one I found and tried today:

---

Makes ~6/8, ~30 minutes.

170g/6oz oats
115g/4oz margarine
115g/4oz caster sugar
2dsp black treacle
1dsp plain flour

Grease and lightly flour a baking tray, preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Melt together the margarine and treacle over a low heat before adding dry ingredients. Mix well before turning off heat and pressing into baking tray. Bake ~20 minutes and cut into slices whilst still warm. Remove from tray once cooled.

Petition For a Guiders Hoodie

I've just added my signiture to a petition for a Guiders hoodie. I'd love a Guiders hoodie (as long as the sleeves didn't shrink in the wash like all my other Guiding uniform jumpers). The petition is here.

Mango Curry

Serves 2, ~30 minutes.

2 chicken/turkey breasts (skinless)
1.5 tsp mild curry paste
100g broccoli, chopped
100g cauliflower, chopped
1.5 tsp lemon/lime juice
125ml coconut milk
75ml water
1 vegetable stock cube
1.5 tsp mango chutney
Half a mango, sliced


Dice the meat and lightly fry until browned. Add remaining ingredients except mango, stirring until the mixture comes to the boil. Add the sliced mango and heat for ~2 minutes.

Organising

Been sorting out paperwork for the London trip tomorrow. Went through all the forms getting very confused when they didn't seem to match up to the right people - think it's all there now though. I've packed my bag and so I think it might be bedtime.

Cycling Adventure!

Today Hobnob and I cycled to Wickes and ASDA. It was slightly better than our last cycling adventure and I got to buy some exciting fruit and cake! Not done much else today really, tried to think about my OS coursework but it's all a bit hard.

That Tamagotchi Application - Submitted!

Finished the report for my mobile coursework just before 01:00 this morning. Couldn't quite get it down to four pages and still fit in all the things I wanted to but there's not very much text on the final page - just an image and the references. Went onto campus this morning with my preprinted copy and handed it in - hurrah!

After that I wandered to Hobnob's office and attempted to print the stuff for my mobile computing reading list. I didn't finish it all (not by any means) but at least I've made a start - perhaps I can start reading them and doing my revision too??

Lots of Post!

Today I've collected lots of post - yay!

I have:
A letter from Lada, my Russian penpal.
A booklet from Scripture Union about Spring Harvest.
Things That Make Us Smart mooched from Vivir (Finland)
And something else I've already forgotten!

Woo, post!

9 Cannibals

Yes really - though it doesn't say how many meals they get each. What about dessert?

Book Shopping

Went round Lancaster with Dave today. Was very good to see him but I got a bit excited with my book shopping again. Started out in the charity shops where I picked up three Christian books in Banardos: Jesus Freaks, Cover to Cover and Cover to Cover 2: God's People and then one more in Oxfam: Counting Sheep. Moved on to Waterstones and spotted Son of a Witch which got me all excited. It was on 3 for 2 but as I very quickly afterwards found The Children of Hurin (in paperback, that's one off the list!) also included in the offer this wasn't too much of a hardship :). My last book from the 3 for 2 was The Painter of Shanghai and then I also bought The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog.

I think I need to find some more reading time!
