Black ants in my bedroom, and their bites sting!

Well, not really looking like an academic post today hey, but that's just the title. Some ants were socialising on my bedroom floor, and I thought nothing of it. Coz black ants really don't cause any trouble as far as I knew. Boy was I wrong! My feet stung a few moment after seeing that first ant. It hurt!!! So I've cleared out the lollies I had in my bag for fear that there was a social group there. I was right :(

Today, the lab (M, A, Z, Y and myself) was supposed to meet up for a lunch. I was going to bring my camera in to take a photo, the last one for the year. Unfortunately, M felt ill this morning and sent out an email he won't be able to make it. He still encouraged us (the students, so basically no A) to go out without him. An hour and 5 minutes later since M's email, no one has reacted. I've sent out an email to Z and Y to follow up. Maybe they're still sleeping, or they might have not checked their email so early in the morning yet. I hope they do reply soon as I have no intention of doing the 1.5 hour commute if they aren't up to it.

I was disappointed to miss M and A today, as we were supposed to talk about something important for one of the upcoming projects. And of course I'm worried for M, as he's been swamped with work (recently, and most of the time) and now he is ill. Poor guy. I hope I still see him on Friday for out last meeting for the year before he goes away on leave.
