bored

Ok I have managed to waste 30min checking emails but have 90 to go before my class.
I have things I could do at home but I came into uni my first class, but it appears not to be on. Does this mean the first class is the one scheduled for tomorrow?
Really don't quite know why I am bothering as plan on dropping the class anyway. But I wanted to know what they were going to work on so that I could do some in my own time, seeing as I don't really care about the papers just want to learn spanish. But if I don't get one of the jobs I won't have enough income this semester and with 2 spanish papers and the BCNZ one I will be classed as fulltime so can get $ from the govt if I need it. Although not sure if I want to take the paper anyway, wanted to check it out to see if it is what I want (it's not a pure language paper).

Well my thinking process has managed to us 10 more minutes.

I got an email from Rob Sawyer says he had won a prestigious best novel of the year award for Mindscan. I haven't gotten around to reading it yet so will have to pick it up and check it out. Have meant to read it for a while but am reading several series and usually fill my bag up with those.

OK my car is officially freezing

Just in case you didn't know my car doesn't have a heater. And in case you didn't realise it's winter down here, eg. our temp today was 2 degrees. OK Now imagine driving my car ....... there is so much ice from the morning left that you can see the slush, um if your lucky it is also raining or foggy, this means your windows are fogging up so you wipe them only that only works for a minute or two. So now you open the windows, and wipe the window again and open them a bit further. And you turn on the rear window heater (the only thing in the car that can heat anything). You drive down the hill, by which time your hands are frozen to the steering wheel. When you get to the bottom of the hill you stop at the lights and the car stalls. It's better with the new antifreeze but now it is also so efficient at cooling the engine that the engine fan doesn't need to turn on and hasn't in the last 3-4 weeks since you put it in. This means that if you put the chock in to soon and it stalls before the engine has heated up at all you can't turn it on. Current record is two cycles of the lights at one of the 5-way intersections.

So anyway MY CAR IS NOW OFFICIALLY DECLARED FREEZING

But the point of this was to tell you that the supplier kindly decided to sell my part to someone else (after we asked for it) so now two months without a part I have finally managed to find out that not only did they sell it but it was the last one!!! I get to wait till someone crashes their car or import a new one for about 5 times the price (that's the nice estimate please pray they are wrong and it's less). I guess I should just drive silly little Japanese cars and I wouldn't have any problems.

Apart from freezing it is a very nice car to drive. It just needs a heater and more than 5 minutes down the hill or 20min out to port once in a while.
