Geeze I’m lazy.
So, the first week of uni is over for 2006 (for me at least). I have my passport, which is all sweet - it’s a new E-passport. That’s right - it’s got government issued Ecstasy in it. No wonder there have been so many busts lately. No but seriously, it’s got a microchip in it, which is kinda weird. But it’s spanky and new, and I’m all set for the next 10 years.
Uni has started in full swing. I’ve only got 3 days, broken up into 1 hour on Monday, 10 hours on Tuesday, and 2 hours on Thursday. It’d be nice if I could combine Monday and Thursday into one of those two days, but we’ll see. I bought two books the other day which cost me $155, so I’m currently broke as a joke.
It appears that I’ll have two assignments to do while I’m in America. I’ll have to talk to my tutors and lecturers about getting it mostly out of the way before I go, if posible, but the fact is I’m supposed to “present” them the day after I come home.
I’ve been organising the Cebs activities for tonight during this week. We’re having a “Vast Vehicular Verification” (VVV) night, which is a team vehicle checkpoint challenge. Time’s not the important thing - it’s about setting up the shortest route they can, while completing a series of checkpoints at which they’ll have to take note of certain things etc. It should be fun. And because I’m organising, I just observe.
How nice is this rain? We’ve got no down pipes at the moment because of the rendering that’s going on, so the rain pours straight off the roof into the yard. Yesterday there was a watermark level on the wall 4cm high, which is a dam lot of water. We need to get a tank. It’s phenomenal how much water goes down down-pipes. I just took it for granted before now.
Mum’s been re-admitted to hospital for observation, so I’ve been visiting her as often as I can. I’m not sure I should today because I’m coming down with some stupid. Yesterday I made her laugh aloud, and it hurt her a little, so I felt bad 
Curse my hilarity! I certainly don’t want to make her cough at all if I can avoid it, which probably means not visiting.
Got a meeting on tomorrow for Cebs. Oh, I’ve been elected as secretary of Chermside branch in my absence at the parents meeting. Yay. So I’ve devised a grand scheme. I’ll take along the laptop, and take notes on that, but I’ll also take along a microphone to record the conversation for future reference, as well as to take notes more easily.
So I’ll keep you posted on how tonight’s VVV goes. We’re going to finish at Cold Rock, so that’ll be fun.
