7:45 - Get up, wonder why a toothpaste can't be invented that doesn't leave a sourish taste in your mouth the next morning.

7:50 - Have shower.

8:00 - Shamble over to kitchen, make bowl of 'Coco Shreddies', noting that it probably isn't a good idea to eat them as dry snacks since I've finished most of the box and I only bought it a couple of days ago.

8:10 - Check email. Nothing interesting. Check BBC News, note that Dennis Tito is about to be launched into space. Mull over whether this is a good thing, considering that the ISS is a scientific station but this is tempered by the fact that he's paying $20m. Decide to withhold judgement until he gets back to Earth.

8:30 - Get changed, curse for the nth time that I have lectures on a Saturday morning, go off to main door to meet my neighbour.

8:40 - Discuss with neighbour possible ways in which to eliminate next-next door neighbour for having noisy parties until 2am in the morning. 'Once we kill him, we'll be able to sleep easy at night.' Didn't think I'd ever hear that one.

8:50 - Discuss children's TV shows with friends walking to lecture. Muse inwardly that children's TV shows are always a good topic for conversation - they're uncontroversial and something in common with a whole range of people. Remember reading on the Internet that you know you're getting on well with somebody when you can talk about something other than children's TV shows.

9:00 - Get to lecture.

9:05 - Determine that lecturer isn't saying anything new, and taking a long time to say it. Slump down in defeat when I realise that I have another two lectures after this one...
