Delays
Tuesday, August 29th, 2006So I *was* going to Wellington this morning. But I’m a dumb ass, and rather than writing my paper early this morning, so I could turn it in, I read smutty books. I think I need a nice solid boot to the ass. note I said to, not in.
So I’ll write it tonight, try to drop it off tomorrow morning, or else con one of my flatmates into dropping it off for me. If I can get it in by three tomorrow, I can still get a 90+% in the class. After that, well, it gets ugly.
Why did I really not go this morning? there’s something about crawling out of a nice warm bed, pulling on clothes, and then leaving the warm-ish comforts of my room for a 4 mile walk in the cold windy rain. At 5am. I think it’s the 5am thing that gets me. Really!
In other news, it’s about half as expensive to buy an ok digi-cam and memory from someplace in the states, have them ship it to my mother, and my mother ship it to me, and then me pay some nasty import tax on it as it is to just buy the dratted thing here. they want over 200$ for a 512mb flash card. CraaaZy, dude. So adding that (or having my mother hunt down the one I left behind) to my must buy list. I mean, the photo-free blogging is cool, and all (or not) but honestly, I’d really rather have photos. That way, at least, when I tell you people that the courtyard is flooded 3 feet deep, I can send you pictures of people sitting on top of the picnic table, with the water swirling at their ankles.
So yeah, tomorrow for wellington, and I’ll probably have to put down a huge nasty deposit on a new screen. Let this be a lesson to all you other clutzy people out there- don’t put your computer anywhere you could ever possibly drop anything on it. It’s expensive and nasty to fix.
