h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Squiz. You don't know what a squiz is? It's a look...in the inspection sense.

I don't think I've ever heard it before, but I could guess what you meant...

Doesn't change the fact that it sounds rather unpleasant though!

It doesn't sound disgusting at all! Heathen!

It does to me!

Heh. Changing the subject entirely...and speaking of paper cuts...I cut my thumb on the edge of a tuna can today Right where I need grip stuff with, too. Bah.

You really ought to take more care...

Yea, tell me about it. Trying to grip a biro when your thumb's squirting enough blood to prove that you're not anaemic several times over gets a bit annoying, belive me

Never mind. I'm off into Staines this afternoon. I'll get some plasters then...even though the things healing up pretty well. Always the way

My own blood I can just about cope with, but other peoples...

Well, at least you'll have them for next time

Oh, blood's fine, I just find it irritating when it gets all over my work and that. I had my wisdom teeth out (all at once, too!) earlier this term, and there was *muchness* of blood in my mouth!

Yes... things can get a little messy when that happens!

Poor you! That's one thing I've escaped, so far...

All four out at once, general anaethetic, and a veritable cocktail of drugs for the following week. The drugs were *great*. They (alongside being painkillers, anti-inflammatories and antibiotics) suppressed my appetite, so I lost weight, and knocked me out for a good five hours once I'd taken them (which I had to do *three* times a day). But I didn't make very many lectures that week...and I nearly collapsed in Chapel

It's great fun. Go demand that they be taken out all at once!

So... for 15 hours a day you were drugged upto the eyeballs...? Sounds like it could be interesting!

If it's all the same to you, I'll happily leave them where they are for the time being. They're not doing me any harm... and only two have come through so far...

It was fantastic. I was in a totally different world...getting up and rambling around the house at very odd hours (even for a student).

The wisdoms were compacting on all the others which made life a bit painful. It was funny when I was sat down and the nurse explained all the risks of the op to me - up to and including a permanent loss of sensation in my whole lower jaw!

I thought any hours were normal for students... except for the ones when it's light outside!

Luckily mine are both behaving themselves...

*giggle*

My body clock's all messed up (again). I've just woken up...feels like mid afternoon or something. Eeep!

Awww...

I heard somewhere that the best way to reset your body clock is to spend as much time as possible in the sunlight. Helps your body to work out what time it really is, or something...

Hmmm....well, it's a nice idea, but it's pitch black outside so I can't do anything immediate about it, and anyways, I'm having too much fun doing my project....

Well, yes... it obviously helps if it's light outside...

What's the project?

algebraic number theory

Something I've never studied at all!
