Well, whatdoyaknow there is a Magician’s Society at uni. Having been asked by a friend of mine to attend one of their meetings, I entered a  lecture theatre today in attempts to gather some secret secrets and left with an ability to separate two impossibly inseparable rubber bands and the ability to make a balloon dog and rabbit (although the balloons weren’t so magical) – how interesting.

Of course, all in the attempt to procrastinate with a research paper (worth 40%!!! due on Friday). It is about wine regions, it is 4000 words and it is not looking so good at the moment. But it will – before Friday.

Onto other happenings, currently applying for all vacation work over the summer right now, and shall probably try again in august if unsuccessful the first time round… yet in two minds about that, because I’m now considering doing exchange at McGill Uni in Montreal which starts in Jan – so if no vac work, then I’ll hit the ski slopes in an effort to make some money before uni-ing it up.

Despite the back-log of work, this week has been quite fantastic (only Wednesday!) On Monday, I asked God whether He could make sure that when I take the 401 bus that the train I have to take on the other end will arrive in about 4 or 5mins (I figured that is a good amount of time to waltz over to the platform, find a spot and then board the train). When I got there? 5mins to go! (and it changed to 4mins whilst looking at the screen). So it got me thinking, God is a good God, why not again today? Except 5 mins was too long, so 2mins was the go, and yay. 2 mins. Also, happened on Wednesday, and expecting on Thursday. Any other week and it would have me waiting for 25mins or so, having just missed it – how long does this have to keep on happening before it stops being coincidence?

Talking of trains, the mX today had an article on parkour and the stupid things that teenagers do when copying the pros. Which is exactly what my brother has been doing for the past few weeks – and can now vault a picnic table lengthways!

Ciao.

Oh, does anyone know how to construct a graph and then differentiate that graph and then graph that graph on excel? (try sayin that really fast) Since when did botany included math and computers?! (evil..evil..) but it does.
