Spare your farmer a thought.

Have you ever wondered about the lives of farmers? An image of them popped into my head today while snacking on some oranges... How do supermarkets pick their suppliers, and decide which one goes to the 'smart price' range or 'extra luxury' packages.. And how do these suppliers pick THEIR suppliers? The farmers who toil to produce the best tasting oranges but at the lowest price. What do they resort to? Chemicals? Suave bargaining skills? Pure hard TLC? Spare them a thought today. *I paid 89p for a package of large oranges which had too much skin and too little 'meat', if anyone wants to know*

And no, that was not what i've been doing all day. It's been project write-up every other breathing, waking moment! Even more so after my new spanking orange laptop crashed and my draft due in this week. My laptop crashed with my project in it. BLOODY toshiba. And the agents and the supplier fello has not called me back yet, it's been more than 2 days. Talk about service. At least the Mac's working again, my beloved white other-laptop-of-my-life! Ah so loyal i am...

Since the tragic crash, it's been double the work to try and work back what I've had stored in the currently lifeless laptop of my life but have no access to. I never want to see another study on love and attachment and mating preferences after this!! And to think, the stress is not over until i hand in the presentation poster and actual project itself... Another two months of gruel, detereorating eyesight and caffeine, woots!!

It's so foggy today. He calls it 'low clouds'. Isn't fog just condensation of some sort? Tried to scientifically explain but it just didn't sound too smart. I put it down to too much evolution and love journal reading. Well anyways, this is really random but we were walking to the gym and we saw three dodgy figures walking through the fog towards us and...
Me : That's REALLY creepy. They look like the grim reaper...jack the ripper and...
Paul : Spongebob.
Me : *blanks out and laughs hysterically*

Gotta work tomorrow! Gotta sleep soon! Gotta get report draft done!! *stress* *hungry* *homesick* *want rootbeer*
