The Cake Is A Lie

morslaI officially became a student last Tuesday. I enrolled in subjects, read through the various "Welcome to RMIT" brochures, and even got a shiny new student card.
In celebration, I baked a cake and brought it along to the meeting last week... and then promptly returned to the work I've been doing since February. If nothing else, I'm learning valuable skills that involve getting access to secure areas without an ID card.
As it turns out, there are still a few glitches (I am Jack's complete lack of surprise). Security say that I should be able to get into the building by sometime next week, when they get around to activating my card. Today I was told that my desk has been assigned to a different project, so I need to start finding another place to work.
If I could just buy a laptop, I'd work from the cafe across the street. Unfortunately, nobody knows how I'm supposed to use my support funding to buy a computer, as they've never had a student with support funding before...
