hahahah omg i just read nichs post about the mouse and i actually burst out laughing!! then every1 was like what what and then instead of just reading them the comment i tried to explain it in my own words in this long round about way and i just received confused glances! oh well!!

x x x

Woohoo!!!!! We've graduated!! i dont believe it!! mind you I only ordered my robes on Sunday (week before the day) I hope I still get them and get to graduate! eek! but guys we need to arrange a drinking session after our graduation day!! I'm thinking of an all day one!!

Results day...

And all three of us passed! We're graduating on July 7th *does a little dance* Looks like three years of talking bollocks, skipping maths classes and eating our weight in pizza and paninis has paid off. You're looking at three Psychology graduates! :D

The other two of course have another year to go and I shall be stalking them obsessively to see how they're getting on :)

Week seven is upon us...

And tomorrow is the deadline for the dissertation proposals! It's a shame they don't do smilies on this thing cos I'm telling you, my face is a picture. I got mine in early (that NEVER happens) and after being unable to talk (seriously, I lost all use of the English language) whilst doing my presentation and then having to deal with a dentist who thought the best way to discover if the soft spot on my tooth was decay was to shove a spikey thing in it to see if it hurt, I'm on the wine as I don't have to be in uni tomorrow :D

Now I just have a 2000 word essay on concepts to re-draft, a 500 word summary of perception to make up, two exams to sit and then I'm actually going to graduate! Add to that my mate Peta's coming up for the weekend and I've got the weekend off work and it looks like I might be regaining some sort of semblance of normalcy :D

So girls, end of year madness? :D

The Bloody Tally and other random nonsense.

Well we started a bloody tally but I reckon he's onto us as we only got two today, following 21 last Wednesday! Next up is Bingo. We're compiling a list of his well known and used phrases so watch out for Bavarian Lecturer Bingo!

Other than that not much is going on. Dissertation proposals are well under way and due, at some point. Some point soon. I think. As it's week five everything else is a bit mental as well and work, well, I'm sure it still exists but let's not discuss that right now...

I'm currently here as a way to procrastinate making up alternative everyday analogous tasks to test frontal lobe damage and degeneration in older patients. Why I wanted to study psychology is now seeming like a very long ago and not well thought out plan...

Now for the exciting bit, it's my birthday tomorrow! I'll be reaching the grand old age of 23, happy happy, joy joy... Expect some carnage and if you're in Edinburgh then watch out for the group of students coming to take over the city :D

Anyway, enough rambling from me, best go and write something constructive!

Gilly here!

Sup!
Thought i would pitch in a bit here =]
So yesterday i threatened myself that i had to do something about my project proposal or actually drop out 4 weeks before we finish.
Luckily i decided to plump for the former and finally went to see Lindsay.....and it turns out it wasn't as scary as i thought lol. Even scarier than project proposals is the fact that I have sorted out my date to move out ahhhhhhhhhhhhh....Gillian...being responsible??? gonna be entertaining stuff lol. dunno how I'm going to afford it since its about 4 weeks after i come back from LDN all debt riddled and that....although I will hopefully have a kick ass job to help me out =]

Anyhoos...enough about me blabbing about me....UNI IS SHITE!!! lol. Was looking for flats in Brighton during social today for some reason....mainly cos I couldn't think of anything useful to say other than "I am shit at this" lol. that's about all I can say for uni at the mo.

Laters chicas

*EDIT* did anyone realise how much work we have to do for the next two weeks???? I totally lost track of everything....feck. Only done 1 essay plan too oops =p

Week three already!

And what have we learnt so far ladies? That our German Lecturer is from BAVARIA, which is, according to him at least, the best part of Germany, that he likes SHPAGHETTI (deliberate spelling mistake) and that he says BLOODY all the bloody time. So in our next class, and all subsequent classes with him, I'm going to keep a tally. Previous tallies include how many full chalk boards can be used and how many times one particular lecturer says "da da da" instead of etc... Don't say we don't pay attention!

Also just had a meeting about my dissertation, scared much? Luckily I'm not doing the whole whack, just need to come up with a concept but I've already got four great chunks of literature to read and start summarising. At least my topic is interesting, the use of tests of executive functioning in the diagnosis of frontal lobe generation and the drawbcks therein...

And now it is my turn to be a bum and guess what i am supposed to be doing toria? reading my social conition - do ya think that book just screams skive or blogg at ya?

I just have something a maze ing to write here! so here i was reading my book and dabbling in writing silly essay drafts and theres a cleaner in the computer lab hoovering away! Next thing ya know - she hollowers "there he is everyone out!" i was like wtf! then i turn round and see a fucking mouse the scatter accross the floor *I scream* ACTUALLY at the top of my voice and run out! The rest of the insane people who where there usin the computers stay in and help her catch it! apparently she did catch it and what did she do? kill the bastard? oh no she didnt bother she chucked it out the window! FFS life doesn't get much more exciting than this! but seriously i am terrified of mice so it was sooo awful lol!

Randomness
valentines day 2008
Nichola "Harriet what did you get graham for valentines day?"
Harriet "A card - but u know what i had to reference it because i didnt want him to think i made up the lyrics i wrote inside it"
Nichola laughs for next two hours cos the brain referenced her valentines card and only she would think to do it :D

Anyways i guess its time to get back to work for me :) then enjoy my weekend off whooo hoooo canny wait lol

***This post was created by a crazy irish bird that hates mice***

Looks like I'm first.

Shocking. I'm the first person with enough free time to write in here. Just been doing the reading for Social Cognition *bangs head against a wall* Behaviourism. Or Cognitive Psychology. Or something... I did miss class this morning *hangs head in shame* I slept in, which I know is the worst excuse in the world, ever, but it's the only one I've got!

I've also being remembering some Ashleigh-isms! I think my current favourite is "Manchester, isn't that in Essex?" along with the name of the blog, "That three hour gap went fast" following an hour and a half long break...

This, along with "You're not a pigeon, what do you know?" from a podcast our lecturer played us has had us all analysing our laughter (from the same lecture, damn him for making us think and watch videos of laughing rats).

Anyway, should go finish the reading, I've got as far as something about Skinner and given that I'm out tonight, tomorrow and away for the weekend methinks I should get it finished sooner rather than later.

Introduction.

This blog has been set up to record what is, for three of us, our last term at Heriot Watt University. It started as one of those random comments that is normally tossed aside over lunch and I've decided to make it a reality :)

We plan to share the random nonsense we talk about, insights into our classmates, and of course, Ashleigh-isms :)

So, we are, in no particular order (except that I'm first as I created the blog):

Toria, Nichola, Harriet, Gillian and Ashleigh. And today was the second day running (out of two) that we all went to class :)
