Through The Wardrobe

Flying over the cuckoo’s nest

Today’s been good. Thomas was round, he was off school ‘cos he was ill. He was watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when he said to me, very matter-of-factly “I feel sick” and proceeded to go upstairs. Less than a minute later I heard him retching. Going upstairs with a glass of water, like the caring Aunt I am I checked to see if he was alright. He didn’t seem at all phased by being sick. I was. I kept my distance as I patted him on the back.

When he was back downstairs, I gave him a bowl, just in case. We watched Narnia. He asked many questions…somewhat spoiling the Narnia experience. Every few minutes either a comment or a question was asked. Numerous of them. “Would have been well scary to wake up to bombs dropping.”Yeah it would.” was my reply. “My friend called it Na-nia hahaha.”; “Is that Gregory?” (upon seeing the professor), “He counts very loudly“, “What are those?” (When the moth balls fall out of the wardrobe), upon hearing the White Witch say “So much for love“…”What does she mean by that?”, upon seeing Centaurs “Man, they’re weird“, upon seeing Aslan “This is what Baz would do….*roars*“. These were only a few of the comments/questions. I didn’t mind answering, but it made the film so much less dramatic. But I do like having him here.

I signed up for my Add+Vantage module today….I am doing work experience in a Psychological setting, it said 50 hours on one thing…now it says 100. Never mind. I have a few lectures for it…Monday 4-6. Poor time. I also looked at the assessments we have next year…one of them is a 10 minute presentation, for the double module. *DIES*

I read a terrible story in the news today, about a woman who had been kept captive by her father in a cellar for 24 years. He fathered her 7 children. It’s just awful. Story here:    It’s like an even more horrific messed up version of Flowers in the Attic.

I didn’t think I’d blog today….I’m such a blog whore….and a comment whore on Elaine’s blog. Never mind. I had an awful dream last night, it was very sad. I’m going to go back to learning about Neurons now, yippee.

Quoteage: White Witch: You know, Aslan, I’m a little disappointed in you. Did you honestly think you could save the human traitor? You are giving me your life and saving no one. So much for love. Tonight, the Deep Magic will be appeased, but tomorrow, we will take Narnia forever! In that knowledge, despair… and die!

  1. YAY i got a mention!
    It’s not often I hear my name and the same sentence as the word whore. Strangely satisfying.
    I had bad dreams last night too. Can’t remember what it was all about. Something to do with a serial killer. And me. Not pretty.
    I like the sound of your psychology setting add+vantage module. I would enjoy that too I think!

    I like it too, will beat sitting in lectures forever, just hope it’s somewhere good and it’s one that pays me :-D Of course I’d rather not do an Add+Vantage module in the first place. You nursing students are lucky.
    Adding the word whore to things amuses me, probably too much. It makes sentences more interesting at least :-)
