In the deep mid-winter.....

Ok, so its basically only just November but MY OH MY its cold up here! This weekend has been a funny one- as I mentioned, or maybe not, it was 'Reading Week' last week- a fictional concept for medics who merely get to watch their housemates on other courses go home and get fed and plumped and return home having caught up on all their work, rosie cheeked with Pies for the freezer... SO the house was empty- that is 5 people were away and only me and paul were left..

We have issues with regards to heating the house because its BIGGG but its EXPENSIVE. Dad phoned and i told him i was sat in 2 wool jumpers and a hoodie (hood up, obv) and 3 pairs of socks and paul was lolloping around in his ski hat, and he.......laughed! and said (to which i was most indignant) 'welcome to student life' thanks DAD!
Anyway, by 2pm on sunday we had had enough, i text paul in the other room and we went out to buy 500 calorie Chocolate muffins from somerfield and discovered that it was...warmer outside. i actually got the shivers in the supermarket when i was stood under the electric heater in the baked goods dept. wooo! We have an indicator on a cupboard sent by british Gas. it said 'turn up the heating' for most of the weekend- you dont understand how bad this situation is- the next one is 'YOU ARE AT RISK OF GETTING HYPOTHERMIA' GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Anyway, the work this weekend has been a joke too...i dont know why im even surprised. We had to learn all the anatomy of the upper limb- clavicle, shoulder blade, humerus (not funny at all..) radius and ulna and all them bastard little bones of the wrist..GAH
and the lymphoid system. and Immunology. EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD TO DO WITH IMMUNOLOGY.

I suppose without my immune system this cold would get the better of me....
