a student

this morning, mark woke me up and said i had a big letter. i opened it, rather slowly because i was so weak from sleep. it was a letter (and student handbook and health and safety for field trips) from university. they offered me a place! how exciting! it's just provisional, but i should be getting a confirmation letter from the registry and then i enrol and pay and i'm a proper student! how exciting! i'm going to be a scientist! :D

i also had an appointment with a back doctor today. the first thing he said was 'so, you're 24'. but i explained that i had back problems since i was about 12. he made me do all the bends and arm lifts and then he said i had a slight scoliosis which affects whichever joint and so i need to have some physio and see if that helps. i really hope it will.

i tried two new fruits today - asian pear (lovely) and cherimoya (disgusting). i ate only 16 points out of 20 allowed, but i really couldn't think of anything else to eat, i wasn't hungry and i didn't want to eat bad stuff just to eat all the points.

i also earnt one bonus point for half an hour walk in tesco ;)
