Today is so not my day.
Okay, so it was kind of good, with only one hour-long lecture, and in most weeks my dad’ll be able to pick me up soon afterwards. And my lecturer for the next month in Psych 1B is practically a comedian, so at least the excruciating 9 AM-10 AM Timeslot of Death and Sonya Not Being Totally, Completely Awake Yet will be an entertaining prospect.
But the big problem is with the Faculty of Business and Law’s online education system, WebCT. I dropped a subject (Accounting for Decision Making) that I enrolled into at the start of the year because I realised it wouldn’t fit in to this semester’s schedule.
However, I kept the other business subject I enrolled into (Human Resource Management). I can’t access either subject’s home page on the system because it alleges (and IT, useless as they are) presume I am not enrolled correctly. Rule one of the blackboard jungle of academia: it is your fault, even when it is decidedly not your fault. So, I have to deal with this pronto. There’s online assessment I have to do for Business Law which, ironically enough, is accessible only through WebCT! And I can’t access it!
EDIT: I can access it now. How amazement.
To top it off, I can’t access the home page for the University altogether. Oh wait, now I can.
And according to TNT Logistics’ package tracking service, they tried to deliver my iPod, but we aren’t home, home, home. A free cookie for anyone who can guess what song that sentence could be sung to the tune of. You all know when my birthday is. If not, it’s on that sidebar o’yonder. *points pointedly*
I treated myself to a fantastic box set of ten Doctor Who novels featuring the Ninth and Tenth Doctors. They’ll keep me going for a while. It was only $54.95, can’t say fairer than that. I estimate that that’s about $5 AUD a book, but my maths is rubbish, so don’t quote me.
Oh yes. I was going to post about the seventh and final Harry Potter book. But do you know what? I don’t think I will. I have so much to say about it that I’m just going to cop out and say nothing. Much.
It was one of the best books I’ve ever read, I couldn’t read it fast enough, and I read it in four hours without a break to eat, drink or go to the loo, so that should tell you something of how enthralled I was by the spell of “Deathly Hallows”.

Wow! I read Deathly Hallows in 10 hours time. I thought that was fast. I’m impressed.
