Its a boy!

Marley arrived!! and I have been busy building him. Marley seems to be male, as the pelvis is male shaped.


Marley in his box:it was a struggle to get this into my room from the lift, considering it was only 14 kgs, its disgraceful, and I need to go to the gym more often.



My first glimpse: Upon opening the box this is what I saw, I don't know what I was expecting to see, but my initial reaction was "where is the head? does this thing have a skull"



Yay: My inner geek was pretty excited at this point, to see my skeleton, then there was the relief of seeing I would not have to put all the bones together.


Marley's legs are the same size as mine but he is taller than me by 10cm,
Conclusion: I might have long legs, which is a good thing if you are a woman like me.



Having connected the legs I let him chill on my bed whilst I admired my handy work. Sorry I was in the middle of changing my bed linen, when he arrived.



Med made, skeleton assembled, Result =1 happy medical student

I bought a skeleton!!

Yes guys...after all this time I bought a skeleton!

He is set to arrive on Wednesday,I am soo excited. Actually excited is a big understatement, I am bubbling with expectation.

In fact on Friday, I was in BHS with some friends, and I saw a lovely plum felt hat, and I thought it would look perfect on a skeleton in my room.(this was before I even ordered my skeleton).

I am thinking of calling him/her Marley.





I shall call him Marley, and he shall be mine,and he shall be my Marley 

Shrinking food

I have either had a growth spurt or my rice cakes have shrunk! I was filling out my workbook when suddenly I became peckish, I wanted something savoury but easy to prepare.I went to my cupboard and got some rice cakes... but it was not as I expected.

I can't remember them ever being this thin.Its lost its right to be called a rice cake!! it should be called a rice cookie!!

My granny bought me these rice cakes, they are the lighter option.Rice cakes in them selves are pretty low cal, so i dont see why anyone would need or want low cal rice cakes.Although this could be the reason why they are half the thickness.

I had 2 with hummus, and I still was hungry, so I have a pizza in the oven, for later.

I am beginning to wonder if I have gotten really fat without noticing....I mean why is my granny  buying me LOW CAL RICE CAKES....and why am I having a greasy fat laden pizza after rice cakes?

What do you guys think?

Actions have consequences

In general I am usually responsible lupie, but yesterday was not one of those days.

I had a exam,classes, then I had to head to London. I left home(university dorm) at 8.40am, was out ALL day , and got home to my mum's home at 10pm.

This morning I got to go to the Royal College of Surgeons, it was really nice.If you ever come down to London and feel geeky, you can check out the Hunterian Museum.

I was supposed to meet a friend, but he cancelled, and I was mentally rejoicing I can imagine the neurones in my limbic system dancing like the plant.

I love my friends,but by noon, I felt like I had done 7 rounds in a boxing ring. I could have cancelled, but I always feel guilty about cancelling for health reasons. I am young, I am supposed to be healthy, and I would rather not let people down.

But now I am so exhausted, and all my joints ache, and I dont think I will be walking anywhere. So I am watching TV, making the most of it,since I do not have TV at university.

I knew this would, happen and I did it anyway. The way I see it is I enjoyed being busy and doing lots of stuff, and it was worth the resulting aches and pains. I can't complain about being achey, because it is self inflicted.

The small print: Dont worry I know neurones don't dance.
