While on my break today (which I spent down at the union shop, posting letters and speaking to Ginger Rich) I looked up and noticed that there were pure blue skies, with the most pathetic attempts at clouds possible every so often. How is it that this good weather continues to tease me while I sit inside absorbing the best parts of Differential Scanning Calorimetry? It should be miserable. The minute I get done you know it's going to start snowing or something. Reverse pathetic fallacy. Hopeless.

I've just discovered that this module I have an exam in at 9am tomorrow morning will account for 80% of my final mark. It's not a great concern; in fact I would go as far as to say I'm waiting in anticipation of the paper as the sooner it arrives and goes, the closer I am to wrapping up what remains of my second year of university.

DDS came over earlier and quizzed me on various metal-processing-related topics which helped me gauge my ability and I think I'm doing ok. I've just got to ensure that I don't mix up polymer methods with metallurgical ones. I bet this is exciting for you.

The StudentXtra.com domain is playing up and I have no idea why. I've had a tinker with a few of the settings but to little avail. I'm now waiting to see if it makes any difference (it'll take a few hours to propagate the changes). Also on the web-front, I've gone and spent some dollar on securing AndrewHiggs.co.uk. It's a bit strange it never crossed my mind before (considering it's my proper name), but it's all sorted now.

Just because I am in a miserable mood, I am feeling particularly happy for this guy. Good effort; automated phone lines really annoy me.
