So up until just a wee while ago, today was being a very productive day. I got up at 6 (completely on my own) and had a nice early breakfast. The plan at that time was to get my laundry done nice and early and then go swimming rather than the other way round which had been the original plan. I was pretty sure that the laundry opened at 8, but I wanted to make sure so that I didn't end up going down there with all my laundry and having to come back only to drag it all back to the laundry an hour later. So I went for a wee walk at 6:50. There is absolutely NO ONE out in Glasgow at 6:50!! It was so nice and quiet and suddenly there are about a million flowers along the path to the laundry. I will definitely be going back to take pictures at some point. :>

Anyway, so I got back from my walk and then sat around for a wee while before I went and actually washed my laundry. That was mostly very uneventful except that the dryer I chose had something the matter with it and make some LOVELY sqeaking noises the WHOLE time it was drying. Well.. at first it only did it on and off and was fairly quiet, but towards the end of the drying time it was positively squealing! I was writing a letter to my friend Rochelle this time and I described the dryer as making sounds like a mouse (the letter was in French and I couldn't remember the word for squeak..) so then once it REALLY started to squeak I described it as the sound a GIANT mouse might after you kicked him and then drew a lovely wee picture of me kicking a mouse about 12 times my size. The mouse, understandably, had very large fangs and was positively roaring..

Once laundry was done I came back, folded it, and heading over to the pool. Unfortunately I got there at 10:30 which meant that I only had a half hour to swim because at 11 it's +50 swim, so I only had time to swim 1/2 km rather than my full km, but oh well, it was still good to go. As a side note, swimming only long enough to do a 1/2 km makes it seem like you get in the pool, swim about 3 laps and then get right out again. Madness.

Let's see, what did I do after swimming.. Oh yes. I walked over to Sainsbury's to buy some more fake sugar. I've still got tons and tons and tons of them, but the ones that I have are made of sodium saccharin and I think the amount of sodium in them is too much for me because my poor body has decided to retain a bit of water at certain times (hopefully this has gone over the head of the only boy who reads this...) so I went and bought a fake sugar that doesn't contain any sodium. Wheee for aspartame! :>

Very likely they are gone now, but there were several people handing out cans of Irn Bru 32 between here and Sainsbury's. Irn Bru 32 is basically super caffeinated Irn Bru. I haven't tried any of it yet, but I now have 3 cans of it from my various journeys back and forth so I've got quite an ample supply. This stuff actually has so much caffeine in it that you have to be 18 to buy it.. It's named Irn Bru 32 because it has 32 mg of caffeine per 100 ml which means that one small can has 80 mg of caffeine... Now, normally drinks of this type don't affect me at all. Red Bull? Nothing. Jolt? Nothing. There's only ever been ONE energy drink that had any sort of affect on me whatsoever, and it also had 80 mg of caffeine in the 250 ml can, which means that I think this stuff may actually do something to me. The only sad thing is that it also has sugar in it whereas the other one that I had ages and ages ago was sugar free. Ah well.

Right, so, the reason that today started out so productively was everything that I just wrote and the reason that productivity sort of came to a crashing halt was that I just woke up from a rather long nap. I only really meant to sleep for a half hour, any more than that is usually overkill and I'm just more tired when I get up, but once my alarm went off I sort of rolled over and just continued to snooze. So instead of a half hour nap, I had a 2 1/2 hour nap... Oh well. I must have timed it with my sleep cycles just right as I don't feel really really drowsy at the moment.

Hmm, what else do I have to tell you wonderful and numerous people.... (Numerous... HAH!...) Well I've only got one more final now. It's on Monday which means that I have a good long time to study for it, which is nice. It's my Use and Abuse of Drugs in Society exam and it's multiple choice and only an hour long (sweet!) so the study plan is to basically just memorize the entire course over the next week, write the exam, kick butt on the exam, and then forget it all the moment I finish the exam. :> It shouldn't be too hard to go through and memorize everything. Hopefully anyway because that's really the only way that you can get a good mark on the exam. I've seen the paper from last year and it's not just normal multiple choice... it's MEAN multiple choice.. You know the kind, where they give you all the different answers and then tell you, right, use these for the next 8 questions. Oh yea.. lots of fun to be had there. Oh well.

In other, other news.. the Canadian dollar is worth 0.90$ American! Oooooh!
