Red Frogs and biology.

Last night I went out and had a social life.
I know - "OH MY GOD.", right?
A girl in my unit, Lana, had bought me the ticket because she knew I wasn't the richest of people, and she wanted to get me out of the halls for a bit. So last night we traipsed down to the buses together, and met the "Red Froggers".
Red Frogs is a charity run to keep events under control, to help people have a good time responsibly, and to provide support for those who need it. Red Froggers are the people who work for this charity.

We went to a specialty coffee shop, where I had a lovely peppermint tea, and talked to some of the people there, before heading to Panache, a crepes shop for Shrove Tuesday. There, we had to play a game where we had a race to fill a cup with red frogs. Sounds simple, right? wrong. The frogs had to be held between our knees, and we had to waddle over to the cups and drop them without touching them with our hands.
I was losing spectacularly, so I did what any sane person did.... I grabbed the bag of frogs from the guy handing them out, smacking myself in the nose in the process, ran over to my cup, and upended the bag over and into it. I won the "most unsportsmanlike behaviour" award, to cheers and admiration, but I"m not sure how I feel about that, even though I was laughing the whole time.
I haven't laughed like that in a while.
After the night was over, I said thank you to Lana probably way too many times. I don't think I can express how much it meant to me that she thought of me when she barely knew me, and how much I appreciated it. 

Then today, I had my first tutoring session with a girl in Lara, for biology, and it went really well! I felt like I was actually doing a good job and not being a shit teacher. I got her to do some drawings for me, and I looked over them and made little corrections, then got her to define the parts of cells, and then made her draw a phospholipid bilayer, and then I showed her some important definitions for some guaranteed marks.

I actually feel like I've had a good day today.
