Swatch has offered me the choice to either replace my strap, or choose a brand new model altogether, provided it's the same price as my current watch. I shall definitely head down to PS tomorrow to check out the watches there, but at the moment I'd really like to stick to the one I've got, 'cos I really like the design and the colour. A pity the strap keeps cracking up.

I love it that tomorrow is really short. I had a bad enough day today, partly because of Econs and History, partly because the new Tuesday timetable is rather long, with a two hour break leading up to econs lecture. At least, at the end of all the shenanigans of the econs dept, I got to eat my first Krispy Kereme doughnuts! Courtesy of Adrienne, who brought them all the way from London for Owen, who in turn graciously shared them with me. In addition she brought a magnificent poster of Bushisms, the various nonsensical statements George W Bush has made over his two terms in office. That poster now takes centrestage on the debating noticeboard, alongside a rather hideous progression of photos of the team's and exco's mouths, which happen to be autographed. I think whenever I need humouring I shall now pay a visit to Bush and take in the brilliance of the man who sits now in the Oval Office. I truly cannot understand how someone this qualified to turn the most morose person into a bundle of laughs could ever have assumed office. America! What were you thinking? Clearly your president was cut out for a different course in life!

I fear for the immediate future of debates in the school. If things carry on this way we won't have a team to field. Not possible. We can't let all our hard work over the last year go to waste!
