Thinking About You - Norah Jones

Yesterday I saw the sun shinin',
And the leaves were fallin' down softly,
My cold hands needed a warm, warm touch,
And I was thinkin' about you.

hectic mess

YAY.

sarcasm?

just thought that this lecturer has quite a quirky and sarcastic sense of humour.

Dear Sutdents,

Firstly I apologise for the inadequate lecture this morning: gross anatomy without illustration is about as useful as an empty picture frame.

I and several of my colleagues have complained about the apalling condition of this lecture theatre and the unreliable and inadequate audio visual aids on a number of occasions - the complaints result in temporary patch up jobs that self evidently don't last.

The fact that neither the digital projector nor the slide projector worked this morning shows how the place is out on a limb and forgotten: moreover, they have removed the emergency link telephone to the AV techs (who are all based in Roger Stevens).

As you are aware, the illumination from the digital projector is pitifull even when its working.

How much are you all paying in top - up fees - and how much would it cost to replace the computer and digital projector with ones that work satisfatorily and provide an emegency link to the IT techs?

I would encourage all of you, individually, to take a little time to vent your dissatisfaction with the people who timetable modules and those who mastermind the provision - unfortunately I cannot find a NAME for the latter.

However, if you all e-mail Lisa Whiteley L.Whiteley@leeds.ac.uk
and copy in mediaservices@leeds.ac.uk
We may, with luck, get something done about it or a move to a theatre that is fit for purpose.

If they take no notice of the teaching staff maybe they will take notice of the paying "customers".

Yours

Alan

she wants to be like the water

Every time after varsity volleyball training, I’ll feel an overwhelming sense of nostalgia. I miss playing volleyball in Singapore, with my old team mates. The unspoken understanding and silly jokes on/off court, the friendships forged over the years. They’re simply irreplaceable. Sometimes, I find myself in search for that intangible feeling i miss so much. But I know I can never ever turn back time to experience the feeling of fulfilment and satisfaction during/after competitions and trainings. It’ll always be part of me but, sadly, I can never come close to experiencing all these again. Just like how water in a stream can never be exactly the same as before - it keeps moving on, never looking back at anything. Maybe I should be glad just to have those fond memories. Maybe.

sigh.

Breathe - Michelle Branch

I've been driving for an hour
Just talking to the rain
You say I've been driving you crazy
and its keeping you away
So just give me one good reason
Tell me why I should stay
'Cause I dont wanna waste another moment
in saying things we never meant to say

And I Take it just a little bit
I, hold my breath and count to ten
I, I've been waiting for a chance to let you in

If I just breathe
Let it fill the space between
I'll know everything is alright
Breathe
Every little piece of me
You'll see
Everything is alright
If I just breathe

Well it's all so overrated
In not saying how you feel
So you end up watching chances fade
And wondering what's real

And I Give you just a little time
I, Wonder if you realize
I've been waiting till I see it in your eyes

If I just breathe
Let it fill the space between
I'll know everything is alright
Breathe,
Every little piece of me
You'll see
Everything is alright
If I just breathe
Breathe

So I whisper in the dark,
Hoping you hear me
Do you hear me?

If I just breathe
Let it fill the space between
I'll know everything is alright
Breathe,
Every little piece of me
You'll see
Everything is alright
Everything is alright if i just breathe... breathe

I've been driving for an hour
Just talking to the rain
