Boring

Hello!! I'm sorry to say that this week's post is going to be quite boring. And all the more so because last week's was so long and picture filled. So I apologize in advance.

This week we had to do a full week of 9-5 lab analysis. We had assessed our faunal (animal bone) assemblage early this term and now we had to do a full analysis of it. That meant going through every bag of bone and identifying what bone it was and what animal it came from. This wasn't so bad for the cows, sheep, and pigs, but when it came to birds it was pretty bad. I put birds off until Thursday, but they still took their toll. They are very small with very tiny differences that mean the difference between one species and another. I hated this because I already hate birds and it turns out I'm really bad at telling the difference between their bones. But I finally finished after about 6 or 7 hours work. Then it was back to normal animals again. But I managed to finish by about 2:30 on Friday, which was awesome because I figured I'd be there all night.

Anyway, this whole experience just showed me that I don't want to have a job. I would leave my flat at 8 in the morning and not get back until about 6:30 or 7 and everything would be closed so I'd make myself some dinner, watch a movie and go to bed. What a boring life :(

On Thursday night we decided we should treat ourselves to dinner and a movie. We went to Wagamama, a Japanese noodle bar. When we ordered the waiter told us that they serve the dishes as soon as they are done so they don't always come out at the same time. Stine's dish came first and she started eating it. About 10 minutes later I still didn't have mine but wasn't sure how long it would take to cook or anything. Finally the waiter came over and said that he had forgotten to send my order in so he had talked to the chef and he was going to cook it really quickly. By the time I got it Stine was finished so then she had to watch me eat. It was a very bizarre experience and the food wasn't all that good. We did wonder later how long we would have sat there before asking about my food. They just really threw us with the pointing out that they didn't come at the same time. Weird. So then we headed over to the movie theater. I got a giant Ben and Jerry's sundae. It was delicious. And we saw Iron Man 2, which was pretty good.

Friday I finished early and came home and did nothing. I went for a walk with my flatmate and was asleep by about 10 :( Then Saturday I went to Bournemouth to meet my friend after work. We went shopping and I got the most awesome dress ever. It's white with black polka dots and is 50s inspired. So cute. Then we went to dinner and got mac and cheese. It was really delicious.

Today we were suppose to go to the beach, but it is rainy and cold so we're postponing. I may make paella tonight. I'm making it with a friend though, so we have to see what's going on with both of us. Otherwise we'll do it tomorrow. But we bought all the ingredients this morning, so I'm excited for it.

Well, sorry that this was such a boring post. Hopefully next week will be better. If it's nice we plan to do a lot of outdoor activities so that should be fun. Have a great week and I hope to hear from you soon.
