Homeopathy and the Girl in the Denim Hotpants

I dragged my sorry behind into my 9am biochemistry lecture this morning. I didn't want to, but I hate falling behind.
Thankfully, my self pity was short-lived when my amazing lecturer put this picture up at the beginning:

 No offence intended, of course, to those who do have faith in homeopathy.

As for the girl's story: I was walking home from the lecture and I saw a girl walking in front of me wearing only, I kid you not, denim hotpants (the kind where the bum-cheeks are on show) and a t-shirt.
I was wearing Ugg boots, thermal leggings, a t-shirt, a jumper, gloves, a scarf, a wooly hat and a coat.
She wasn't even wearing tights!

These are pretty much what she was wearing, (Topshop, by the way, £32, yum).
At first I thought she must be insane.
Then I thought; "It must be me. Maybe it's this cold I've got? It could actually be really warm outside." - but then I realised I could see my breath.
Then I was just impressed; "You GO girl! Way to hang on to your summer wardrobe!"


And then the penny dropped. Wednesday night is 'Sports Societies Social Night' (Pound a pint in The Skiving Scholar) - She was doing the walk of shame.

Getting a cold. Actually, it's definitely Ebola.

So I woke up today and wished I hadn't. I feel like I have the beginnings of tonsillitis, which would really worry me if I had tonsils.

It's probably just your average cold, but I'm a wimp. So I spent the day in bed watching PewDiePie walk through Beyond: Two Souls. If you don't know what that is, go and find out.

This is what got me through the day today, and is a little shout out to anyone else who's feels like ****.

Those pyjamas are the best thing I've ever got from Primark *sigh*. And I powered through that entire box of celebrations (except the Bounty obviously - blehh).
Starve a fever; feed a cold and all that!

This mug was £6 from the Disney Store, back when they were having their 25 year anniversary, it's just great.

And then, of course, the sacred texts. Some girls may choose Cosmo, some girls may choose Glamour, some girls may even choose Take A Break. I choose Elle.
25% off Kurt Geiger and a Benefit Lipgloss? No competition.

I read an article by Charlie Brooker describing his own sore throat:
"Even a drink of water becomes a mug of shattered twigs."

Right there with you, Charlie.
