I'm literally angry with rage!*

[bending_sickle]

Today's class was focused on networking, so we did - ta da! - a Network Game, which consisted of everyone having a fake futuristic CV (I apparently had worked at WHO, then was a manager in a pharmaceutical, and finally was happily working as manager at British Petrol's international human resources in London) and fake business cards. Then we had to talk to people, and, once given goals, find someone who could finance or advise your friend's company expansion (my given goal) or get funding for your group's association. It was actually quite fun. The afternoon lecture was spent watching a talk by much-awarded Nick Donofrio about innovation and discussing the hell out of it.

Right after that, I went over to the gym to meet up with Lander for a yoga class. Oh dear. It was exactly the type of yoga I hate, all "look into your naval" and "deep breathing" and "*exhale* ha!*inhale*" and really, really bad positions held for way too long. It made me very, very frustrated and angry and omg. The squee is that I met an English PhD archaeologist called Anne, methinks. She'd also done yoga before and had a similar opinion of this class. We've promised to wave hi at each other tomorrow, seeing as we're both planning on going to the pilates class.

Aaaand I still haven't really done any work on my Project Proposal, or made a doctor's appointment (although, yays, I haz doctor now). My fu'ed up schedule from 9 to 5, it maketh things difficult...eth.

Also, my shitty mood may have been encouraged by last night's dream of having cancer, a double masectomy, and then having to have physical therapy which meant I couldn't go to Kenya and crying frusrtatedly** over it.

ETA: Fuck this. I've been doing stuff since 9:30 this morning. I'm going home and pluckin' my eyes contacts out and having a decent meal. Can't do a literature search now.

they're filming Skellig? *accidentally knocks cat off couch mid-squeeflail*

Also, that sounds like a very, very shitty dream, *big hug*

I've heard of Skellig before, but am pretty ignorant over it. My squee's over Simm and Roth together on screen. Epic.

Simm and Roth together = awesome! But Skellig is equally awesome! (although I can't remember it having very many characters, only Skellig and the Kid were major roles)

i've never done yoga or pilates, but i very much enjoy rolling over and stuff on my yoga ball. those things are made of awesome. or maybe rubber, but my vote's on awesome.

i don't have a doctor at the moment. though i should also probably get one. not for the reasons you have to, thank goodness, because that sounds awful, but i should probably get a check up soon. bleargh.
