My mum had 'Gone with the Wind', it lived on the overflow parental bookshelf which was in our room when I was a child. I first read it when I was 9, and then, periodically thereafter until I was 16, and understood the stuff i hadn't understood at nine. It might be fun to re-read...
The third Boudica book, 'Dreaming the Hound' is in at the library for me to get on Saturday. yay!!!!

ive been watching the film since being about 7 and loved it. i didnt know it was based on a book untill i was 15 when i found it in the school library. but it did take me untill i was 17 t actually read it. in the summer holidays between the 2 years of sixth form.
i hate only having half my book collection here, its meant ive found the need to buy more books. which isnt good when there is no longer anywhere to store them at home anyway!!!!1

Jim just got home from his first orientation day - he has two big course books, and I've been looking through one of them. The first lab is all about microscopy. Wonderful fun! He's already started collecting the phone numbers of his classmates (mostly women and girls... )

nicki Posted Feb 24, 2005
typical!!!!
microscopy? hell probably, erm, enjoy? that!
i do cell biology so i do it and its not that much fun! but everything else is more interesting.
the practical isnt even slighlty interesting and there is alot of reasearch which needs to be done too so i can do references etc.

Jim is looking over my shoulder and just said "gack! Research is evil, but unfortunately for us, it is compulsory."...
You probably should ask for an extension. But wait a mo', it's only Wednesday there, innit?

<< when final deadlines all arrive.>>
It's terrible when they all arrive at once, isn't it? with your assignment. Gas chromatography really does sound interesting...
