Just got back from work this morning and had my lunch. While eating, Kirsty told me about the London 2012 Olympic Campaign commercial that got pulled from the air because apparently, the 'authorities' (according to my sister) were afraid it might cause epileptic seizures. So she went to YouTube and downloaded it for me to watch:
Fifteen seconds into the commercial:
Me: Hey, this is kinda cool, but I don't see what it has to do with the Olympics...
Ten seconds later:
Me: You can't help staring at it...
Fifteen seconds later:
Kirsty: PAUSE IT!!! ANNA!! PAUSE IT!!!
Me: [shocked and confused, rush to pause it] What??!!?? Kirsty what?
Kirsty: So... what do I do if you have a seizure??!!?? [smiles]
Almost gave me a heart-attack, she did. And yes, she was making fun of me and the fact that epilepsy came up on my mid-year exams -- it caused a bit of an uproar in my class cos nobody expected it. It wasn't that bad... the pharmacology was pretty killer though if you didn't study it, which most people didn't.
I'm glad this week of working so much is over. Never again will I volunteer to work so many extra shifts.
Had a really great day yesterday though, relatively speaking. We had about three hours free time so one of our friends made us lunch and we hung out at his flat, warming up and watching Korean movies. Even though I couldn't understand a lot of what they were saying, I got the gist of it most of the time -- at least, enough to follow what was happening. It's been soooo cold the past couple days, snowing and everything. I love it -- the snow, the cold, the roaring fire, it's all so... romantic. :)) Although, I'm not sure how some friends of mine who have gone tramping to Mt Cook are doing; hopefully it's not too horrible. I guess that coal will come in handy.
