fortunes!

i didn't get much sleep last night... i woke up, made a few calls and then skipped off to the bank to pay my tuition fees, having read the instructions and called the admissions office to verify that i'd understood everything correctly.

the whole ordeal with the bank was smooth, which brought a smile to my face - it was only later that i discovered that tuition fees in israel are traditionally ignored until the last minute, so i actually had nothing to worry about :P

oh, well - i'm sorted for the next year. and wr gave me permission to take his copy of the norton anthology - english literature travelling. i was thinking of buying it on ebay, but i'll save my... $5 or so... until i really need it.

speaking of $5 - ozdoc's mum gave me fifty aussie dollars because i thought it was a pretty note, and that came in handy today :)

on my way home from the bank i noticed that someone had tossed out a somewhat worn-out wooden set of shelves. thinking that it might work out, i carried it home - not taking into account the intense heat (today was killer) and arriving inside drenched with sweat and sore of arms. that was my exercise for the day, no doubt!

so the shelves fit, and match, and make a positive difference to my lounge... i'm liking the way things are going :))

i went to the city garden to pick up a proper notebook for my journey, stopped to buy sweets for the flight, and came back home to struggle with the html copy of my boarding pass until i got it printable. how do people without web development skills deal with it? do they print it out spread over two pages?!
disgusting.

i took it to the printer's, and on the way got my dress watch's battery replaced. after such incredible exertions i took a nap for an hour, before heading to the hardware dude for a last shop and a cup of coffee.

i'm well pleased with pg - she sent me a message suggesting that we meet up when i return. i was really happy about that, and then i bumped into her when i left the apartment again. i felt it a bit strange because we'd already said goodbye... twice... but no matter :D

i've finally sorted out all my papers and shuffled around bits and pieces, and although i still have to pack my bags and clean my apartment, i'm pretty much ready to go.

...

WOW!!!

in other news:
of course my beard-trimmer would cut out mid-shave.
i'm fairly certain that if my h. pylori was dealt with, i have it again.

i quite agree: attempted rape shouldn't be funny, but even i'm amused.

starcraft 2: i wonder how long it'll take me to settle down enough to obtain it? that, plus fallout 3 (which i still haven't played) will be hallmarks of my freedom. and snowboarding. lottery, anyone? :)

university website usefulness: i know this one. and tau's is especially bad. it *looks* like it's easy to navigate, and then *BAM* you're lost :/
