This is my reaction as copied from a Spooks forum. I can't be bothered to dissect any more, I'm just far too angry.

FIRST: If you've been tagged, you must write your answers in your own LJ and replace any question that you dislike with a new, original question.
SECOND: Tag eight sexy people. Don't refuse to do it like a pansy. I tag (in no particular order):
aboutlarnie,
dappledlight,

In other news, we had room inspections today, which are fucking ridiculous! They told me my surfaces were supposed to be kept tidy. I'm sorry, I'm in the middle of exams, and you don't think I should have folders or paper on my DESK? Also, what does it matter?! I get some of the stuff they said could cause actual damage, MAYBE, like my sink (don't ask), but why does it matter if the surfaces are tidy?! Grr.

Here's what just happened:
Textbook: "While both mass and count nouns can occur after the definite article, only count nouns can appear as headwords after an indefinite article"
Brain: "Huh. Isn't it wierd that when referring to the definite article, people almost always use the definite article, and when referring to the indefinite article, people almost always use an indefinite article?"
Body: *headdesk*

So that was essentially most of the update, but I'll now try and summarise the notes from the conference!
( Aegis International Conference )
I realise that not all of this is comprehensible, but since it's been so long since the conference, it's harder to translate my notes into real thoughts! If you want something explaining, I'll give it a go :) This is now almost certainly the second to last post from my Rwanda diary.
In fact, it's the last post, but there were thoughts I had during the last few days which I ended up writing up for a talk I did, so I'll probably just transcribe that within the next few days. Hopefully I'll get around to it soon, but lectures start tomorrow! (Me = Excited!)

Yesterday's entry has been ignored, as it was really more like a personal diary entry than anything relating to the trip. The only real things that happened were that we came to Gisenyi - which is where all the action in today's entry happens! Gisenyi is on the border with the Congo and is basically a resort town - it would be more so if it didn't have such a reputation from being borders with the Congo!

Before we start this one I should point out that it's almost completely pointless - I got started on it and then passed out. The writing in my actual diary is almost illegible, so as a diary entry it's quite entertaining, but obviously that's lost when it's typed up! Basically, it's here for the sake of chronology.
