I'm in the library. Perhaps even more scared of the impending doom in the form of Tripos, I'm scared of getting oldd! Undergrad will be over in a matter of days. Heck! It's Easter term! Undergrad has ended in Lent. Anyway here I am, sipping my blue bolt (which is no use since I still feel like curling up on the bed in the first aid room).
Ooh, my supervisor was behind me just now. I hope he saw the “Climate change and its biological consequences” book on my table. He's really very funny.
Me: Erm.. what are metapopulations?
Supervisor: I talked about that for 10min... the last 10min in one of my lectures, which you were probably asleep.
Me: Oh no, I never sleep!
Supervisor: Yeah no, I don’t think you do; you sent me an email at 4.30 in the morning.
Methinks most Cambridge students ARE still up at 4am actually.
Supervisor: School kids nowadays know the names and properties of many many species.... of pokemon.
Brits play pokemon too?! I always thought they grew up quite fast and don't play with toys much. And they enter and exit puberty quickly too, skipping the awkward "too old for toys, too young for boys" phase like I had. Yawnn. I'm so insipid I'm boring myself. Dating is like the most fun thing on earth. Falling in love is like taking estacy! Lol I'm watching too much Gossip Girl. Lily to Serena: "At your age you should be playing the field."
Okay I'm not 17 (nor tall/blond/pretty/rich)... but what was I doing at 17? Nothing. Without experiencing the heady days of youth (and drugs and cigarettes and rock n roll), I'm now an old hag of 22, creating memories of being in the library. I even took a snap in case I forget. This is a picture of me in the Zoology library. I may look a hundred, but I'm 22. The library's a hundred years old.
Rufus Humprey: Hey Lil. You know everything’s closed on Christmas. Diners that claim to be open 24/7. It’s false advertising. So Alison’s leaving. She’s spending time with the kids. And I seem to have walked all the way from Brooklyn to your doorstep. Without a jacket, in the snow. So what the hell. I miss you. And I have been missing you for a while.
Tu me manques beaucoup! <333
