Oh my oh my oh my

Can you believe I sprained my wrist? That means (drum roll please) that I don't have to play badminton tomorrow!!!! It's not a big deal, though, seeing as our class is finishing up a tournament, in which I LOST EVERY SINGLE GAME!!!
By the way I'm typing with my left hand now, which is considerably easier than writing with my left hand, which is what I was trying to do in Calculus class today. I got so far behind that I eventually decided to just zone out. You wouldn't believe how fast Calculus goes by when one is zoning out and in another world! It was great.
As for other things I love, I just learned a great phrase in French: Tant pis pour toi. I means: too bad for you. Which is one of those phrases you say when someone tells you they have a sprained wrist and can't go to badminton class. Or you could say, 'poor Zaza, let me comfort you by mailing you a box of timbits' (which would be really horrible since I am off of them for Lent).
And while we're on comforting things... as some of you may know, for a long time there has been no portable automatic detection system for the chemical warfare agent phosgene which has been in use since WWI. However, and this is the comforting news, a new instrument has just been developed called a SAW detector (Surface Acoustic Wave) and although it is still undergoing field tests, there is good indication that it may be able to accurately detect the presence of phosgene in the air! Strike one for chemists! (And for the computer nerds who designed the clever algorithms SAW detectors use)
But I will discuss this more later as it is getting late and I need to rest my wrist.
