Right, so I was sitting in the lab writing up my dissertation, which is due ion a week from tomorrow. I guy doing my course came in and we chatted a bit about the deadlines coming up. Since we also have a coursework essay due in this week, I mentioned that I'd have it ready for wednesday. You can imagine my displeasure when this guy told me that it was, in fact due in tomorrow. I was sure it was on wednseday, but surely enough when I checked the course handbook, I discovered that it is, in fact, due tomorrow. And worth 6.25% of my final degree mark.

So, I rushed back to college and finished the essay. But if he hadn't happened to walk in at 9 o'clock at night, it wouldn't have got done.

Whew.

You had any lucky escapes recently?

I literally dodged a bullet yesterday. It's all in the timing.




Actually, nothing recently.

I recently finished It in 3 weeks. It. The book. Stephen King. It. Anyway, I did it in 3 weeks. That's like...1000 pages.

I got stuck under the raft when I was white water rafting yesterday, I couldnt breathe and I just managed to get out from under it.

I thought I was pregnant, and then to my relief it was just a false alarm. And then I remembered I'm a guy. :(
