My First Day of School

The first day of full-time study since 1980, anyway.

There was the usual hassles with the University Administration. I still haven't been officially enrolled, I don't have a computer (but do have an account on the network when I get one), I don't have a phone (but at least i have a desk to put it on when I get one), I don't have a student ID card (but do have a student number), and so on.

Unlike other University administrative sections I've had the misfortune to deal with, these people are actually quite friendly. They take the attitude that they're there to support the students and staff, rather than the latter being inconvenient nuisances that they wish would just go away.

I love it. But it has kept me a bit busy, hence the light blogging recently.

Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.

Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.

Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.

As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
