Far Too Early

It's currently 6:20 in the AM, and it should be sleeping time. It will be soon, but under life threatening demands from jenny to update, here I am. Updating. Well, yesterday (technically 2 days ago), I finished my exams. I have finished my work, I have finished the course for the year, and as of today I have about a week left to live in these halls. It's a strange feeling. As soon as they start feeling like home, we have to get out. It's a shame, but it has to be done. I have a much cooler house next year.

Last night was weird too. Jenny and Carlos came over and we chatted and watched Family Guy until about 7:00AM (after watching Pulp Fiction earlier that evening with Emma and Kaori and Carlos). On trying to drive them home, I found my front right tyre had been totally deflated, so it left them walking. Today I managed to change it without help, which was cool because I've only ever watched people do it and never really paid much attention to the process. So now I'm riding on the spare, I'll get it checked tomorrow.

Anyway, today I watched AI in Japanese with Kaori and Emma, and it is very strange to see a film you know in another language. I understood it because I've seen it twice before, but when I imagine it from today I remember it with the original voices. It still helped my understanding. Buru Fe-ri. After that we had takeaway and I rushed off to help Qian, but as it turns out she'd already gone to bed as it was almost midnight. So I went to watch Politics (or parts of it) with Shun and Erin and Jenny and Carlos. I took Carlos and Jenny back to my place and we watched more Family Guy and went to Asda again, etc.

What everyone was begging to be put in blogs was what followed after Yukina arrived. It started so innocently with Jenny massaging Yukina and odd dialog going on between them. Carlos clearly wanted a massage as well, so I volunteered and massaged him for a short while until he suggested a swap. Not too keen to try out his massaging technique, I was relieved when I realised he meant he swapped with Yukina, so he had Jenny and I massaged Yukina. So this continued for a while; I think it was something like half an hour. Carlos and Jenny switched places after a while, but I think Yukina was enjoying it too much to want to switch. With the workload she'd been doing I'm not surprised. It sounded like she enjoyed it, and I like giving massages, especially when they're appreciated. Apparently, in all the blogs we will have a similar version of events, except with a slight shift of teasing in each one. So check out Carlos's and Jenny's blog, the links to the right.

We went out to see the Harris Hawk handler after as well (we met him last night, and he comes in to scare off the pigeons and squirrels). It was highly cool as he took off his handling mitt and gave it to Carlos and me to let us hold it, but sadly there were no photos. We got to feed it a semi torn baby chick, which wasn't pleasant but it still meant this huge but very light bird perched upon out extended arms for a while. He's coming back Monday and Tuesday morning with a pair of them for hunting, so we'll probably see some kills.

That's been my eventful couple of days. Relaxing post exams is great. I have no University work until September. The end of September. Wow! And to satisfy Jenny's lust for gossip and recollection of tonight's events: massage massage massage massage massage.

I have my Waitrose call back interview tomorrow at 11:30. I will get about 4 hours sleep. I want to wear a tie, so I'll probably have to go home and fetch one. Anyway, goodnight any of you who are reading this before you sleep.
