Essays!

[rhondacrockett]

I have essays to mark! *bangs head* Oh well, at least this doesn't count towards their final marks. My assessment of their tutorial contribution does, though...

*fails them all because I'm in an evil mood*

...There are other things I wanted to say...

Oh yes, Darkles! Hallowe'en candy was much appreciated by all! And the snake provided entertainment for all :DD

Let's talk bra sizes. Now I've worn 38A for a long time now, but I've come to suspect that it's the wrong size. There are 5 places in Belfast where you can get measured. I've been to 4 of them, and in every one I was a different size. In La Senza, I was a 34C; in Debenhams, a 38B; in Marks and Spencers (who, by universal opinion, are useless anyway), a 38A; and in Pretty Woman, a 34B. (The fifth place is Ann Summers, and I'm going to try in there this week.)

We all know that a properly fitted bra is essential, but when the professionals can't give you a consistent answer, what are you supposed to do?

Know what I'd like? A custom-made bra. Go and get measured, and have it designed specifically for my shape, the way a man can get measured for a suit. I reckon that's what every woman needs.

I agree! As weird as it was being sized or whatever, it's much nicer to have things that fit. But it would be nicer still to be able to buy the same size from different makers and have them fit all the time. As it stands, I hate hate hate shopping for bras. I really do think we should all just get customs and show them.

Also, I imagine that having students is annoying. I am sorry you have to deal with undergraduates. We are not the easiest to get along with.

Most of my students are ok. My Monday class is horrible because nobody talks; it's like getting blood from a stone. The most annoying thing about it is planning what you're gonna do in class. I want to keep my prep time to a minimum, which leads to lots of group work, which I know people don't always enjoy, but sod it, the point of tutorials is that you think for yourselves damnit, you're not at school anymore, taking notes off a teacher!!!

Bra sizes are nonsense, just like all other sizing involved in women's clothing. I have at least one 34B bra that fits perfectly, and at least one 38C that won't close in back. :D

I'm glad you liked it, but how many people were eating it?LOL..

Me, my sisters and my mum. I offered some to my brothers but they said no, and Dad doesn't approve of bubblegum, so he wasn't having any either :)
