    At schools here, there are no classes on Friday afternoons. In fact, many schools had no classes at all on Fridays, until Thursday started being a huge party night for undergrads, causing all kinds of issues. So many put Friday morning classes back on the schedule.
    My department (grad students only) has no Friday classes at all.

    weekend

    I don't mind as it's an interesting class(Transportation & Society) and it'll encourage me to do some work over the weekend. Keep me extra busy

    I'm not too happy about a tutorial on tues from 5-6pm as i don't feel safe after dark in the Curtin Uni surrounding neighbourhoods. I'll be biking home & won't do the shortcut near my house either. I'll just wear the cool hi vis thing mimi gave us & lots of lights on my commuter.

    Oi. Bleecker. You're not going to freak me out with something fuzzy dozing in a box. It's those large, nimble, athletic ones running around on my floor I don't like.

    I'll catch the small ones with DoW's method, except glass first, then paper under, then pick up and throw outside, but those big fast ones... *shudder*

    That is the molted skin of a pet tarantula i used to have. She molted out of it because it was too small. I posed and mounted the discarded skin in a box. After she wriggled out of it all damp and soft like a newborn babe, she expanded to a much larger size. ;D

    Looks like it's freaking Ruby out anyway.

    Lisa, I'm not normally skittish around bugs, but that picture is freaking me out.

    Very quiet here today on TD.
    Yep, large hairy spiders are a bit scarey.
    I do LOVE all animals and rarely kill bugs (save them from the cats)--but I would probably freak out if I saw that!
    Snakes are another creater that I am very "un-fond" of. The black racers we get in the yard are OK, but I would rather watch from "a far"!
    Not much else freaks me out.
