Aug. 6th, 2003 11:19 pmEeep, yes, I'm alive.
I'm also, as of today, in the employ of the Student Services department of my uni (how many Kevin Bacons away is that from The Man, I wonder? j/k!). How, you ask? Because I am now a notetaker! In other words, they're paying me $180 per semester for a typed copy of my notes for Modern Imagination in Europe, so they can give them to people who can't take notes ue to disability. Sorely needed cash, as you will see.
I have *so* lucked out with my timetable, it's absolutely brilliant for a lazy-ass slacker like me. Witness:
Monday: no classes
Tuesday: 11am - 5pm
Wednesday: 12pm - 4pm
Thursday: 11am - 4pm.
Friday: no classes.
Yes, that's right folks, I have a four day weekend! *dances maniacally* And I'll only have 1 exam this semester!
( uni stuff )
And speaking of money, enter stage left The (sort-of) Saga of the Car!
( Several months ago I backed into someone's car. While they were still in it. )
Last Friday I dragged poor Lainy to a jazz performance (teehee, are you allowed to call them concerts?), being too scared to go by myself. She was very nice about it, bless her. The highlight of the evening was definately the cover of Andrew Lloyd Weber's "Phantom of the Opera" as it should have been - a tango! Very funny.
And finally, a linkie or two:
Caught on Film: The Bush Credibility Gap. The Photographic History of the Bush Administration Putting Its Mouth Where Its Money Isn’t. Nice concise read for someone like me who doesn't want to trawl through article after article trying to find some straight info.
If you've wondered what the thestrals in HP looked like, go no further. Dude.
