Notes from the front
Feb. 22nd, 2006 02:38 pmWell, I've successfully managed to get myself into the uni, and found my way to the various buildings I'll be based in for the rest of the year. I've even found a computer lab... quite handy when I suddenly have a spare half hour to kill.
Note to self: Burwood station =/= Burwood shops =/= Burwood campus of the uni. Not that I really expected the uni to be right in the middle of everything, but it's even further away than I gave it credit for. Rather than taking 1-2 trains and at least one tram each day, I think I'll settle for a single tram ride instead.
I now have a laptop (picked it up yesterday - yes, times are moving fast), so I can comfortably work anywhere I can find a seat. I've used my Secret Mutant Powers (tm) to find some quiet spots to work in the library. Now I just have to get to the postgrad info session, so that I can find out what I have to do about these subjects. If I can get a PT concession card sorted, I might come back in on Friday to start stocking up on books and course guides.
Yes, life is all a bit bland at the moment. I'm finishing my current painting commission job (Khadorans for Lon) tomorrow, and trying to clear the slate for the start of classes next week. No idea what the workload will end up being like, but I'm preparing to dig in just in case.
