And I also have an assignment due next week

Oh blarg Uni. Aside from the fact that we didn't get the day off despite it being a public holiday today (which meant I still had my 9am lecture to get to), I also ended up sticking around Uni until late.

See, one of classes has four readings every way, most of which are quite long. So instead of making everyone read a couple of hundred pages every week, we have this thing where everyone is divided into groups of four, each person in the group does one of the readings, writes up a summary of it, and then shares it with everyone else in the group.

Well, my reading for this week wasn't online - it was in a book that was on the recommended reading list, but not required (so I didn't buy it). And all the copies at the library were taken out, some overdue. So I ended up, after class, grabbing a two hour lone copy and a borrowed Uni laptop, trying to read 40 pages and summarise it all in one page before my two hours were up.

Fun.

In other news, FOUL had a tea party at lunch today. Which was rather unexpected, given this is FOUL we are talking about.

Oh, and a few people on my flist seem to have some offers up over on help_japan. I really must work out how high I am willing to go with bidding on that.

University libraries are stupid. On the reading list for one of my subjects this semester was a book that, according to the catalogue, had only one copy, which was at the campus in South Africa. Said book turned out to be living quite happily in the Caulfield library. What makes this even more stupid is that said subject is Information Access.

Oh, glorious irony.

I would have been less grumpy about things if we hadn't been told that this book wasn't one we needed to buy.
