A lazy day

This morning, as usual, woke up very early but very reluctant to work, kind of lazy and slothful. I'm supposed to be working hard on a review paper to wrap up my first year of PhD. Wake up, gal! You leave only 2 more weeks!

At 9.30am, got an appointment with the University Occupational Health for an eye test, a requirement to use a laser equipment. During the test, I answered something very strangely that shocked the nurse to certain extent. After consulting the most senior nurse in the clinic, the junior nurse still insisted me to come back next week when the doctor will be around. What's so big deal about telling her that I saw some other colors (dark brown & dark green) on a black paper? Doesn't she know that this is the light diffraction phenomenon? The series of eye tests strain my eyes and cause me heachache.

Received my buddy's text telling that he will be flying tonight. So wandered to his house and watched him doing packing, which was basically searching things to bring back to Spain from the mess of his room. He definitely needs a bedder to help him tidy up his room. His college, Jesus College, has housekeeper to clean their kitchen and toilet but not their individual room. But in Downing, our housekeepers are called bedders as they help to tidy up our room and bed once per week. My buddy said I am like a pampered little gal.

Anyway, I still don't like to see friends flying, I prefer to be the one who flies. Just like one week back (Dec 6), I was so proud (yang yang de yi) to text my buddy from Standsted Airport before flying to the Czech Republic: "Bro, It's my turn to tell you that I'm in the airport now." He averagely flies at least twice per month. Finally, it's my turn to fly! Yeah!


First evening in Prague, Czech Capital. This is Wenceslas Square (New Town, Praha 1) with the National Museum (Green building with "onion head") as landmark. At my back is the tram-modified cafe. Tram is the electrical train runs in the city. They are kind of cool!
