masochistic rats

so today, after i finally recieved my coffee and muffin, having devoured my muffin and then decided that it wasn't such a smart purchase after all (QUEASY), i was exiting my favorite place to eat on campus, aka the weirdly shaped purple building, when a notice posted on the window caught my attention. it was an advertisement - similar to one of many like it found at university - calling for student participants for a research study. however what set this particular notice apart from others surrounding it, and indeed any other research study advertisement i had seen before, was the topic of research that required participants. this unique notice read as follows: "participants wanted for research study examining why students do not want to participate in research studies - if you do not wish to participate, please tell us why" ah. refreshing, no? i have no idea whether this was a serious advertisement or someone's witty idea of a joke, but it pretty much made my day. also, it helped me to forget for a moment the QUEASINESS that the rather bad choice of a muffin for my mid-morning snack elicited. so whoever that person may be who composed that notice and posted it where i could read it, thankyou. ps. i do quite regret neglecting my poor blog, however, free time is not something that i am able to come by easily these days. however i have not disappeared from the blogging realm, so watch this space for a rather lengthy rant, which will arrive when i have a moment to spare. ciao for now.
