Friday night I hung out with Lindsay and some of her flatmates. We all went down to the pub on campus and did some dancing to loud, fairly good music. (Yes, you heard that right, there is a pub ON CAMPUS)

Afterwards, we went back upstairs to her flat, and Lindsay talked about wanting to make a pudding mix that she bought. So both her and I are thinking along the lines of "Jello pudding" where you basically add milk and refrigerate. But pudding here does not mean the same thing. Pudding here is more of a cake-type dessert, usually with some kind of sauce.

Very similar to this:


So we followed the directions, and for a microwavable dessert, it turned out pretty good. It wasn't quite as attractive as the pudding pictured above, but I guess you can't expect too much for a pudding mix costing 66 cents, and made using a microwave.


Saturday wasn't a real big day. I lounged around a bit, and spent most of the day working on a paper that is due Monday: 1500 words on one of a dozen topics for my Public Health Microbiology class. I chose to write about Leptospirosis, which interested me mainly because I know its something that I vaccinate Zelda for. So I wrote my paper, and learned a lot! (Did you know that Lepto is caused by a bacteria, and that it is one of the most common zoonoses in the world? And if you have it, you could end up with just flu-like symptoms and nothing else, or you could end up dead?)
