Lies, Damn Lies

stupid blogger

Destroyed my last post. Or it might have been these university computers- RM standing for really... uhh..... malfunctiony?

But meh, it was about gentlemen's urinals, of all things, so you are spared that particular rant for a while, you lucky things you. As you may or may not have perceived, my life is incredibly hectic at the moment. As well as ye maths course heating up (my sources inform me that we are getting coursework in stats. Which is a blow as I picked my courses DELIBERATELY to avoid any form of coursework......), I am now involved in Amnesty International, One World, and Students for a Free Tibet.

As I should have mentioned yesterday, but blogger was a bitch, there is a screening in an hour- 3:15, 4E3.38. So if by the off chance any of you Bath university readers (I know there are thousands of you!) read this, then head on over- you can help save this man's life (www.savetenzin.org for more).

I just raised about £70 for Avert (www.avert.org), a charity devoted to helping those with AIDs, and educating on the subject. How? We got people to throw condoms full of water at the Sabs (the student union officers, to you layman). I think a lot of people felt sorry for them, the freaks- they didn't get the whole genius of coating people in water. For christ sake, they're getting paid to do this!

Heh, don't get me started on the SU..... To be honest a lot of SU officers are pretty powerless- SU power, as with all unions, has gone down. Also, annoyingly, the elections, at least in Bath, rarely feature people with radically different ideas (or at least people with VOCAL radically different ideas), so they are transformed into popularity contests- just like the old school elections. Its sad really, cause you disengage a lot of people with politics at this level- if no-one has something different to say then it really is not worth voting.

Heh, maybe I should run, with some krazy socialist ideas. I probably wouldn't get voted in though- and, for that matter, I don't really want to spend a year doing what they do. It would look good on my cv.... hmm, I think I'll just stick with the groups I'm with at the moment.

I was very proud with myself this morning, incidentally- thanks to going to bed at a reasonable hour last night, I managed to get up in time to only be a little late for the bus, and after some running (I know, horrible, horrible idea), I actually managed to catch a bus and get to my tutorial on time. To discover I didn't have the problem sheet. And neither did Alex (this is female Alex). Which was a blow. So I had to sit there pretending I knew what was going on. Worse still, she was making people write on the board- I was mortally afraid she would pick me, and then my sad sheet deficiency would become apparent.
