Yo!
Hello everyone! how is the outside world today. In an attempt to cope with my extremely penniless state, I didn't drink last nite despite of various kind offers of being donated a drink... I slept at 3 am and got up at 3 pm. Man, I have to say, when I sleep drunk, I atleast have something to blame a large pounding headache. Now it seems that the whole two grey brain cells that are left in my head have achieved some sort of exotic energy from somewhere and are bouncing on all sorts of walls inside me head!
OUCHY!
anyhoo, apart from that, had a really good nite - with all friends in the favourite-strasbourg-beer-establishment: LA Lanterne! :-)
It was nice to get rid of the bad mood that the exam left me in: Build a private space station: and yes, Chris - this time you have to show all mods required to do this! (yeh, ok, not like the smallest nut and bolt - but you are re-designing a spacecraft for goodness sake!) Anyhoo, I couldn't finish everything I wanted to and had to write: which is why I wondered- How many exams do I have to do in life to not know time-management better!?
silly gal, bee.
Alright, rants aside: I have to finish my thesis now.
So, I wondered in my sleepy state at 2 pm this afternoon. How am I gonna get off this planet. I had remembered that Douglas Adam had said something about this in his preface for THHGG (The hitch hikers guide to the galaxy) and looked it up... For anyone who wonders about this question, heres what to do:
How to Leave the Planet:
1. Phone NASA. Their phone number is (731) 483-3111. Explain that it's very important that you get away as soon as possible.
2. If they do not cooperate, phone any friend you may have in the White House - (202) 456-1414 - to have a word on your before with the guys at NASA
3. If you don't have any friends at the White House, phone the Kremlin (ask the overseas operator for 0107-095-295-9051). They don't have any friends there either (at least, none to speak of), but they do seem to have a little influence, so you may as well try.
4. If that also fails, phone the Pope for guidance. His telephone number is 011-39-6-6982, and I gather his switchboard is infallible.
5. If all these attempts fail, flag down a passing flying saucer and explain that it's vitally important you get away before your phone bill arrives.
Great advice, but clearly the book is so 80s! (an overseas operator!? - I remember one of those used to exist when I was a wee lass).
My revision: come to ISU, we are gonna make our own flying saucers! well, all in good time. I am serious.
Ok, I should now remove all the effect of the paper bomb that hit my room during the exam preparations (I even had the stapler next to me on my bed - managed to staple a sheet of paper on the sleeve of my night tee-shirt!)
