Student again!

Woohoo! My confirmation of registration letter arrived from Open Uni. I am a student once more! (I am sensing many exclamation marks in this entry) Legal Framework here I come... well as soon as I can get the text book anyway. I've only got a week and a bit to do so too . I'm hoping the State Library of Victoria can help me out there. Failing that there's always those academic bookshops in town. As much as I love a new text book, my finances are telling me second hand is definitely the way to go.

Now on a side note... I've noticed that when I sit at my computer (as I am rather obviously doing so now), my right hand always gets really cold. I mean REALLY cold. Mucy colder than the left hand, which still feels kinda warm. It doesn't seem to matter if I'm typing or using the mouse or the keypad. I tried wearing gloves, fingerless mitts, hunters mitts and nothing seems to work. Guess this will make NaNoWriMo an interesting and fun time of year. Particularly as I have an exam in November for Legal Framework. I'm sensing a rather stressed Sarah then.

Today has been a good day so far, although my dreams last night were a little stressful. Can't even remember why I was stressed in them. I just remember they weren't half as pleasant as the ones from the night before.

I've settled happily into a semi-nocturnal state. I'm more than happy to go to bed around 2-3am but seem to be rising at 8-9am. Oh well, I guess I'm out of my exhausted phase and back to my usual 6 hours per night!

Went into town today and got the rest of the "Rockery" wool I needed to finish my current scarf. Also bought another two balls of wool for another scarf... they were just so soft! Here's hoping I've got the right needles.

Depending on which way you look at it, I'm a great or terrible shopper. A frequent impulse buyer but also one that deliberates for ages doing so. Crazy. I ended up buying another John Varley book "Red Thunder". It was only $17.95. Much cheaper than the others. I keep thinking if I repeat that often enough that I'll convince myself it was a sensible thing to do. I have a feeling that "The Black Crusades" may have to wait. I'm such a fickle reader at times. Too much selection at present!

I hear my wheat bag calling me... or more accurately the microwave calling my frozen right hand. Also Nick, who I haven't seen in what feels like ages, will be here soon for coffee. Yay!

Apologies for the poor grammar. This is something I'll need to work on soon...
