Fryzjer gratis

I'm just after being accosted outside the uni hair salon by an employee or perhaps manager of the salon. She is apparently training a new hair dresser to do men's cuts, so offered me a free cut. I declined the offer, partially because I don't have enough time right now to do it. Walking away though, I started to wonder if she asks every male wandering past or if she only chooses those who need a cut. Does my hair look like it needs some attention?

Ein Schtamp?

I had coffee yesterday, as usual from my usual place, and I've just noticed that I must have forgotten to get a stamp on my card (buy 8 get one free).
How annoying.

New hard drive

I've spent most of my day installing a new hard drive in a laptop* computer. The physical installation was quick and easy but re-installing the software is time-consuming and tedious. This new hd had better last a while because this really isn't something I want to do again soon.

* technically it's a notebook computer but I can call it a laptop because I'm not stupid enough to burn my genitals with it.

Free coffee

There's a barista competition on at uni today, so for the simple task of rating a coffee, we get a flat white for free. I've got a break and I like coffee, so I'm writing this in the queue. I intend to perform my civic duty and take part in this optional coffee jury.

Eurovision

Is going to be upon us soon!
How many toilet-roll dollies will there be this year?
Who'll be the worst act?
How many artificial wind machines will they need?
Who can squash the highest number of costumes changes into their allotted 3 minutes?
Who'll win the WTF award?

May the poppiest, catchiest, most annoying ear-worm win!

It must be Tuesday again

I'm sitting outside the lecture theatre listening to music in German and reading a book in French. I think my head will be linguistically confused before long. It's probably a good thing that I can't understand much of the German lyrics. Hast du etwas zeit fur Mich...

Exams

The draft exam timetable has been released for semester 1. I checked it with a little trepidation given my exam timetables for the previous 2 semesters but I was pleasantly surprised to discover that my 2 exams this semester would not be held on successive days. In fact, I have 5 days between them. It sounds positively luxurious.

Alpine Hot Choc

I'm sitting at uni once again waiting for a class to start. This upcoming lecture starts at 4pm, which I find a bit late in the day considering my last class today finished at 11am. Anyway, the point of this post isn't to rant about my timetable but to comment on the beverage that I'm drinking. Alpine hot choc, which is Mr Beans way of referring to a white hot chocolate. It's delicious and it's been such a long time since I last had one because I usually feel the need for something caffeinated when I order a hot beverage. It also contains a marshmallow.

Update

He's in a really groovy bit right now, and his feet have joined in.

I like coffee*

I'm at uni, drinking coffee and listening to music on my mp3 player while waiting for a lecture to start. There's a guy sitting near me who's reading and also listening to his mp3 player. He seems to be slightly dancing or moving his head and occasionally his upper body in time with the music that I can't hear. I wonder if he's aware that he's doing it or if it's a subconscious action, and I'm also curious as to what he's listening to. It's evident that some songs or sections have more of an effect that others, and his mini-dancing isn't in time with the music currently playing on my player.

* Yes, I'm aware that the title doesn't have much to do with the content of this post but it's true, I like coffee.
