[Say it in a poncey superheroey voice and you'll understand.]
Hah. Have sent a fairly exhaustive dissertation plan off to my supervisor for some advice - I really am a bit confused as to how I actually go about writing a dissertation, even though one term is already almost over. :s
Hopefully he'll clear things up for me a bit - at this stage, even sending it back with "THIS IS WRONG WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN DOING ALL TERM" written on it in crayon will be taken as a helpful pointer (as in, the correct answer is obviously, "The wrong kind of dissertation - but I'll do another one... a better one... that one!"... And then I shall steal a boat and drink rum. And maybe look up some more references).
At any rate, having done some solid work towards it - solidity evidenced by the milestone of having completed a plan and getting it sorted out by someone who knows what I'm supposed to be doing - is an amazing weight off my mind.
Chances are I'll get it back just in time to put the weight back there for Christmas formal, but oh well. Bailey is happy for now. :)
Also, I write it here so it will not be forgotten: the 3rd year vets are to have a literal war of the sexes at the end of this academic year, in which the winners are the last people not thrown in the Cam.
It Must Happen.
I'm sure someone (Lowri?) mentioned nudity as well but I can't quite remember wathahell the reasoning was for that one and it's perhaps best forgotten. Although it probably wouldn't be too bad for the rest of Cambridge to endure, since apparently "vets are gorgeous people".
Nice to know. :D

Gorgeous, we are, naked, we are - below our filthy clothes.
Mmm.. rum... You piratical dissertationiser. What's it on again? I'm sure you've told me and I've just forgotten. I'm doing Brackenbury's project! Huzzah!
Not on rum, unfortunately, although I could write some of it when I'm on rum, I suppose...
It's the "Designer Babies" project - about human sex selection by scientific intervention, whether it should be allowed, is is safe, what are the ethics of it etc. - writing the essay plan tied my brain in twisty ethics knots.
...Which one was Brackenbury's project?
My rum is gone! :(
*In slurred Sparrow speak*
"Why is the update gone?!"
Has there been an update yet?
That sounds fun Bails, I'm sure you'll crank out some decidedly dangerous rhetoric on choice and free will. At least I would. However, I'd like to take a moment to compare it to my project which is making paper models of dinosaurs and lobbing them out of windows. I love Matt Wilkinson.
Greg, you jammy bastard.
Anyway, as the (eventual) upcoming update will tell, I can't focus as much on the ethicky bits as I wanted to. :(
