| slept:9.0 |
| Spent last night at home, as couldn't be arsed trecking up to the lakes for a day, so had a good night's sleep on a nice comfy matress with a nice comfy duvet, with a cooked breakfast for brunch, before driving back to Sheffield in the afternoon. Was going to go for a run (maybe), but it started raining on and off once I got back from the Supermarket, so watched (i.e. fell asleep in front of) the footy/rugby.
Came second in the Edge Pub Quiz, went for the 'Mystery Box' as our prize - and what a prize! Aftershock High viz jackets, Sourz hats, goggle-straws, sftershock shot-glass-attached-to-a-rubber-glove, cards, great stuff! If I can't be arsed with getting police gear for the BUSA social, I'm sorted! |

| UMOC Chasing Sprint Prologue in Platt Fields. Good race, and I managed to spike number 7 first time and all, unlike some :p. Bruised by thigh climbing over the same fence for the 3rd time in 1min. Most enjoyable. |

| Chase of the Chasing sprint around the fallowfield campus. I think the sight of tons of sweaty, slightly damp people running around at 1 in the afternoon confused the students, who had just woken up by the looks of things ("ooo look, it beeps!" was heard as I spiked control 2) Overtook a few people on the chase to finish somewhere in the top 20... Small scale of map along with my inability to read maps whiost running meant that some navigation was "it's in that direction, and someone's going there, so I'm ok!" althought, as with many other people, that failed me en route to number 5 :p bloody fences. All in all, a good event! Shame it appears UMOC may not exist next year :(
finishe 17th in prologue, and 15th overall |

| slept:7.0 (rest day) |
| Lecture today was cancelled, so I had until 2 to recover from last night.
Got woken by the doorbell at 10, after 5 hours of sleep. I didn't get up, but I thought we were getting our oven re-inspected. Thankfully not, as we hadn't cleaned it - we just get a new fridge and freezer tomorrow!
The oven is now clean after I spent an hour doing it.
Came back from SingSoc to find that it has had crap spilled on it, and that things still aren't getting washed up... |

| Orienteering (Burbage) 1:10:30 [3] ** 6.4 km (11:01 / km) | |
| spiked:13/14c shoes: Decathlon Kalenji Kapteren XT |
| OK, not a great run, spent a lot of time in marhes so slowed down a bit, but felt good pootling along, getting to the controls and working on technical skills. Missed number 7 off after looking for it for bloody ages. Otherwise, looking back, felt that 10 of the 14 legs I planned fairly well and executed OK. Enjoyed it anyway :D |

| off to corp tonight (no kiss make-up this time...), suprised I can still put a tie on! It's about 3 years since I did with a white shirt! |

| slept:7.5 (rest day) |
| Thought I'd give my body a bit of a rest as have been feeling a bit tired and waking up feeling odd. However, at least I got good news back regarding the January exams. Passed them all quite comfortably. Not spectacularly, but it's only first year, so I'm not too fussed.
Managed to fail the house inspection purely because a bit of the oven wasn't too clean. honestly. All they needed to do was tell me and I'd sort it. Most of the stuff is baked on from years of studentdom anyway! |
