What I been doing
I'm going to try and keep this short as I am in desperate need of some sleep.
Firstly, apologies for the reduced level of blogging at the moment, this has been caused by my dissertation presentation/ viva stress. I had the presentation yesterday and although it went fairly well, I did run out of time (primarily because the assessors arrived late!), hopefully they will feel embarrassed about their delayed arrival and give me some sympathy marks. The seminar room I was using had a white board which was covered in graffiti so I went in search of a board rubber.....
*I went to the department office, which was staffed by my favourite secretary*
Me: Ummm, excuse me
BBB: Yes?
ME: Do you have a board rubber I could borrow as I am about to do my dissertation presentation downstairs and need to clean the board?
BBB: We do have one
Me: Oh great
BBB: But I can't let you borrow it as it must remain in this room at all times as it is in constant use
Me: Oh OK then *Looks around the room but fails to see a white board!*
BBB: Sorry about that.
I would like to draw your attention to the last line of the conversation. Seems the BBB has been reading my blog and is aware that she is a BBB and has been convicted of her rudeness and is trying to be polite. Shame she is still totally irrational.
Now all I have to look forward to is my 5 exams. I have 2 weeks with nothing to do but revise which is nice, any longer and I would waste too much time, like this the adrenalin should kick in soon. I don't know how I will cope blogging wise and I expect that there are only so many interesting things that can happen to me while sitting for all my waking hours in the university library reading about statistical and computational approaches to cracking the human genome. Please bare with me, by the 9th of June it will all be over and I will have nothing to do for a month except have fun and blog about it.
Does anybody think that having 4 exams in less than 72 hours is a little excessive? Once sleep is accounted for I will have NO inter-exam revision time, which means they expect me to learn 4 3rd year modules worth of information and retain it in full detail for 3 days. Bastards!

It's enough to fry a brain...... read, retain and repeat.
By the way, thanks for this particular post..... it's giving me total university flashbacks now for having done BBB's job for a very brief while. Nicest people I ever worked with. Worst, most depressing job I ever had. I escaped 5 years ago this month.
Shame on you, BBB for not giving Nurton the thingy-doodle. Rules were meant to be broken. You have to find the love in your heart! These poor kids and their dissertations!
Nervosa breakdown.
I don't think she is a ruleaholic, it's more that she just doesn't like the look of me or any other student for that matter.
