My work got handed in, including the first problem questions that I've ever done for QM2 - last year, that was the subject that really suffered. There were a few blank spaces, but not as many as there could have been.

After that, the finance office was condescending, then the Nationwide was helpful but eager to get their hands on a £20 bank charge, then the other bank was huge and confusing as usual. The guy behind the counter wanted me to get a paying-in slip, and pointed to a table full of various white pieces of paper and told me to get one of the white ones. *facepalm* I made distressed sounds and he explained further, though.

Am I a memorable sort of person? I got recognised thrice today, in order of surprisingness: A bus driver (I lost my return ticket in town, but when I went to pay again for a single on the way back, the driver (same driver who'd sold me the return) looked confused for a second and then just waved me past), one of the new SF&F freshers who I'd spoken to once for about five minutes over a week before, and someone who I'm not sure how I met, but used to chat to every so often in RKC (she's certainly memorable, esp visually - lots of bright pink and driving a wheelchair) when I was in second year.

Slight fail occurred with buses, though - I had to hunt to find a stop for the 44 that would take me to Uni, and ended up jumping onto a 4 - I'd lost my ticket anyway, so it didn't really matter which I got... except that the 4 I got onto was on its way to Acomb. Oops. The conductor was nice, though, and didn't make me pay for a ticket to the station (which was the easiest place to cross while also having an opposite-stop, according to him). He was also nice in that before this, he'd kinda chastised a couple of students for sitting in the 'reserved for disabled people' seats when there was someone with a walking stick standing. Though, that was kinda embarrassing, seeing as I'm less wobbly than I used to be, even if I did end up feeling quite poorly in M&S earlier and needing to sit down.

I now have four more pairs of tights! Warm legs, and less worrying about how often I need to do the washing. Yay!

Also, there was a farmer's market today, and I got a tray of ribs for a quid. They were dated until the day before the next time he was selling. I also got a beeswax candle and a punnet of strawbs, which I promptly squashed.

Kinda lacking in spoons now. I shall listen to music and read the internets for the rest of the night, I think. Dinner has already been cooked (a third of the ribs + box of microwave chips) and nommed. I should probably do a proper food shop soon, though.

Also, the location on this post is where LJ thinks I am. Any idea where Dewsbury is?

What's actually happening tomorrow with Evil Eye and such?

The 20 frees that I had at the beginning of term? Have been stripped down to 5. This term is going to be Hel.

'De Montfort University' is weird at spamming. They sent me a little USB drive in the post for no reason. They don't even do science or engineering, so I wouldn't be interested even if they do spam me.

ETA: (added on this one rather than the next one because, er, it's not really respectful. Like graffiti or something.)

While I was working on my personal statement (3000 of 4000 characters done, whoot!), I had another window open for the writely index. So I open that Chack scene and suddenly I have three plot-bunnies to type before they vanish from my head.

I've even got a better-for-the-one-shot ending - it makes it past!RaiJack rather than twotiming!RaiJack. And yes, that is shameless target-audiencing - why are so many Chack shippers OTP-ers too? It makes me sad.
