This morning Liz and I got up nice and early so that we could go for a healthy jog before lectures started. I was quite surprised that Liz was up for it and didn't just insist on having a big lie in.
It started off well and Elizabeth looked like she might even make it the whole way around campus, as long as we kept at a slow pace. However, by the time we got past the roundabout there was some deep panting and gasping for air going on beside me and we had to walk to the corner of campus near County college. We ran down that side of campus before a bit more walking and so the loop continued.
When we were almost on the final straight Liz was very itchy and her skin had come up all bumpy like it does on her face when she's cold; just a lot worse and without the chill. We walked back to Bowland with her making sounds that suggested she was struggling to breathe, and then she collapsed onto the bed. After a while she tried to have a shower but it didn't go well and she ended up collapsing onto the bed again and, this time, making it rather wet. I decided it would be best to stay with her to make sure she recovered and I ended up missing a lecture that I wouldn't have been able to concentrate in at all and, according to Adam, was mostly just a recap of what we went through on Friday. I also missed my Universe as an Art seminar in which we were supposed to practice our presentation, but the story goes that the first group to go took so long that three groups, including ours, didn't have time to perform anyway. We'll meet up this weekend and have a run through then instead. I sort of wish those from my group who went to the seminar today had had to do the presentation without me. I'd have liked them to have been asked questions about the project to see if they knew what was going on. I've explained it to them a few times and I'm sure it isn't that complicated but if a tutor asks about it when I'm there they all insist that they've got no idea and hand over to me.
I went to everything else today and spent the three hours I have off between two and five getting on with my maths homework. My Rcode for MATH105 is amazing and I'm rather proud of it. It does all things that are much more advanced than we should be expected to know. If I don't get full marks for it I'll be very annoyed.
The MATH115 homework isn't quite as good but it's out of 30 and capped at 25 so I can afford to lose 5 marks and still get 100%. It takes some high level mathematics to work that one out.
Thank you so much for being there for me. I adore you.
