Friday!

Today started off with a gloomy day then became sunny and then gloomy again. Weather forecast is strong winds over weekend and it has started.

Well, today did the dissertation outline presentation. Went quite smoothly and got comments to think about my outcome measures. Lunch break became an hour late cos tutor thought not all will present our dissertation outline so allocated less time. Had cornish pasty today.

 Oh yes, some photos from yesterday's cooking...didn't take pic of the coriander soup

Roasted tomatoes with garlic which I helped L prepare yesterday

 After class, wanted to explore Selly Oak but class ended at 4pm..was kinda late to explore..so decided to just drop by home bargains at High St to find sewing kit and go home. Oh..I didn't mention. I needed sewing kit cos the sewing on the newly bought jacket for one part wasn't well done so one of the strings came off. And I thought I packed a travel sewing kit but I couldn't find. So anyway, managed to find this compact sewing kit!

And then, I chanced upon door stopper!! I've been nagged to ensure my door is secure esp when I'm asleep..all along didn't see that shops sell this till today. And since it looks cute, I decided to get them - can bring back SG and use for my room door too!

Came home and L said I just missed her friends - she was clearing up already. Told me to help myself to the leftovers - which I did, added to my spaghetti for dinner. Oh ya, then there was a letter for me..opened and saw that it was from the Dr I was supposed to see on Tue. Letter said that it is necessary to cancel my appt on Tue...ask me call the clinic. I asked L if really necessary to make another appt..she said don't bother. If anything happens to me, cos I'm staying here, they will have to come anyway. Great! Save my time!

Then tried to do some parts of the SPSS assignment before dinner. And A. created a group chat with N. and A. told us that Anna (administrator) has emailed us our PPOH (previous module) results! I checked and praise the Lord!!! I scored 82% which is a distinction! Phew...good to know that. Anyway lost 10 marks cos I needed to talk more about the legislation - same comment A. got too. Glad that all 3 of us scored distinction! But then it's a provisional mark - await external examiner too but highly likely confirmed. So I'm left with clearing this module and get my dissertation approved before I can be offered MSc. Afterwhich, I got to settle my visa cos currently it states that I can only stay till July 2014. Lots of things to do but taking things one step at a time.

Yay!! Weekend's here! Hoping to sleep in tmr and Sun and actually the rest of the week! We all have an extra hour to sleep in on Sun!
