Today I found out that someone had got into the theme manager on my favourite computer at school and made it into that '60's' hippie scheme. Which was quite pretty, although the font that it put the URL and stuff in on IE was vaguely unreadable handwriting-fontness. I also got some rather uninspiring but surprisingly painful bruises, but I was strangling the person who gave them to me at the time... we did that 'everyone attack ppl in the middle' thing in Self Defence. Today was even more pointless than usual, because Physics was cancelled for the 'rolling tutor period' (one hour a week, we do random stuff in our forms, for no very good reason, and to annoy everyone equally it changes time every week, in order to be especially confusing), in which we were meant to be putting together a 'compendium on note-taking'. As my note-taking is erratic at best and usually non-existant (I have textbooks from revising from!), I wasn't that much help, so I just practiced hamster noises with Hanna instead.

I suppose you want to know about my weekend. I suspect I'll attempt to write it up sometime. The short version is: Shrimp croquettes are yummy. It rained a lot. I bought the wrong chocolates and now have lots of marzipan to eat, which is okay because it is nice marzipan. We ate a lot. We spent an entire day in an art gallery. The Atomium is pretty cool and will be even cooler when it is all shiny again. I slept a lot. Overall it was pretty good.
