THE weather for the past few weeks hasn't been that noticeable really, but it hasn't been that great. But the other day, the first rays of true sun shone through a clear blue sky and hit campus… and within 5 minutes of this happening, people went and sat on the grass outside the library. Just one person at first, but soon afterwards, another person joined them… and another. I look out my window a lot, and over the last year I've tried to work this phenomenon out, and still can't.
  IF I had my own radio-controlled cloud, then I could position it in front of the sun, and wait till about 11am. I would then move the cloud out of the way and let the sun shine down on the grass outside the library. After a few seconds some of the people would notice the sun on the grass, and like a giant magnet pulling them towards the grass, they would start to change direction and walk towards the grass. Its at this point that I would then move my cloud back over the sun, thus switching off the giant magnet, and forcing people to continue back on their original paths. I would then spend all afternoon doing this, and see how close to the grass I can get people before moving the cloud in front of the sun!
  THE other annoying thing about the sun is that whenever I have an exam - its ALWAYS sunny outside! So I am proposing that we move all the exam desks outside. Yo mentioned the problem about the wind blowing exam papers everywhere, however I'd say that this could be a positive thing. Consider the following conversation: Teacher "What happened your answers for parts 2 - 4?", Me "I did them, but the wind blew them away!", Teacher "Most unfortunate. Have a 70% average to make up for it".
  NOW not everyone is lucky enough to have a stalker, but I have a lovely stalker called Kate, who tells me that she is my stalker every week at the Union. So check back next week to read my tribute poem to Stalker Kate!

  AT the beginning of this semester I wrote something in here along the lines of "I want to climb up on top of Battersea Court reception." Now, before I get any disapproving (or possibly approving) comments, I still haven't achieved this - but that is not to say that no one else has. Yesterday, during a particularly boring period of essay writing, I glanced out of my window only to see a certain GU2 DJ clambering from the wall outside court reception onto the roof! It seems that two of them had been playing with their football, and somehow it managed to scale the rather high wall outside GU2, and not come back down again. Ah well, it provided me with a little bit of entertainment on my mundane Monday afternoon.
  THIS week I have had several people asking me "so, what did you get up to in the library?" This was, of course, in reference to one of the personals in barefacts last week. To put your minds at rest, the answer is, quite simply - I genuinely have no idea what Adam and I got up to in the library. Honest!
I'm becoming slightly disconcerted by the fast approaching Easter holiday - for none other reason than the fact it means I have no more lectures. Ever. I am also now working on my penultimate piece of coursework… ever. It's a scary concept: only 6 ½ weeks left of being a student. No more going to bed at 6am, climbing hills after the Union or sleeping 'til 2pm… actually, maybe I can fit in a few of those in next year!
  I'VE spent the best part of this week so far working on 4,000 words worth of 'fun' final year music essays. During one of my far too frequent 'internet and msn messenger' breaks, my friend Scoot happened to comment that it was only equivalent to just over ten Rawson's Creeks. Right then, 7 Rawson's Creeks down (or 8 if you include this one) and 4 to go before tomorrow…
