08:30
- Contrary to all evidence you may have ever heard about students,
this is the time I got up today.
08:45
- Tea and toast - no better way to start the day. Unless you wake
up in bed with a beautiful woman, which I also did this morning.
I'm the smuggest man in town.
09:30
- Arrive at university library. OK, I have to admit that this is
not the normal time that I would arrive at uni. My whole life is
a bit aschew at the moment, seeing as I have only got a week left
of my entire undergraduate course!
09:50
- Optimistically collect a waist-high pile of books from the Library
to read today.
10:30
- 18:00 - Whilst 'revising' at home all day, I manage to nab myself
five new albums of music from the internet, sculpt the greatest
beans on toast bonanza I have ever seen, catch up with the storylines
on Neighbours AND learn all about seventeenth century Japanese architecture
with emphasis placed on the Nihombashi district of Tokyo. And they
wonder why we spend so much time willfully destroying our own brain
cells.
18:15
- I've recently taken on a bit of a role as the last minute Arts
reporter for the pages that I edit in the Leeds Student newspaper,
and so I must hasten to the theatre for this evening's entertainment.
But not before taking care of the Three Ss: shower, shave and sprint
(for the bus that is).
19:30
- 21:30 - The One Act Play Fest put on by the Leeds University Theatre
Group was incredible. Five short plays, put on with only the most
basic of props, were all acted out just feet from where I was sitting.
These included the stories of a woman who gave up speaking for Lent,
a desperately lonely man at Christmas time and an acid-tripping
grown-up Alice who, now far from her Wonderland days, has to cope
with an alcoholic mother and an abusive March Hare.
22:30
- Arrive home in time to find my housemate's watching porn which
they 'mistakenly' downloaded from the Internet thinking it was a
children's movie. I didn't see them jumping for the old delete button
that quickly though. Hmmmm.
23:05
- Wednesday night ritual. Chill out in front of Teachers. I used
to be here each week with another housemate but, alas, she is in
France and has left me to fend on my own with the coupley couple
who I also live with.
23:30
- Sit down to write this diary.
If
you want to keep a diary on Wednesday or get any further details
of the project contact Eleanor Cameron at the Royal Armouries (eleanor.cameron@armouries.org.uk).
