enismirdalNow I have a giant freezer I can buy frozen peas! SQUEEEEE!
We have an oven as well, so I can make pizzas! Not that I really need to, as the place round the corner sells 7" pizzas for £1!
There's a Sainsbury's 10 minutes down the road, for big shops, but a little Co-op just round the corner will do for most basic things!
In general, I'm much happier today. Even if still no joy with the MSN/Yahoo thing.
Although I can't say I particularly want to meet the young gentleman who invited me to have sexual relations with him in Stepney Green again.
The uni website is the most un-navigable thing I've ever seen and the search engine is useless. Finding information about what I'm meant to be doing over the next week has proven extremely hard. I seem to have established that I need to:
But I can pop into the lab to look round anytime I feel like it.
Dad phoned me at lunchtime. Yay dad. *hugs him*
I need Elves to stick up on my pinboard. I have space for about 4 printouts. I need suggestions of Elf pictures that are prettiful and not too explicit (don't want to scare the cleaners just yet!) Probably PG-13 and below is good. My Lindir and Círdan commishie from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
say_aye is definitely going to be joining the stuff already up there. Naturally, Rávo is next to my desk, overseeing everything I do. *pets*

- Pay bill (ASAP)
- Collect Student ID Card (tomorrow)
- Go to a welcome/induction session (Wed, from 9am)
- Enrol as a research postgraduate (next week, between 25th and 29th)
- Meet my supervisor (Mon 25th)

Date: 18 Sep 2006 17:53 (UTC)Time is good now I'm less tired and stressed. But it turns out college have no record that I actually met the offer they gave me - my degree transcript must have been lost in the post. ARGH. So tomorrow will be faffsome as I attempt to sort that out.
Re: the search engine is useless
Date: 19 Sep 2006 11:01 (UTC)I think so. Here are comments by you to my livejournal: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=site%3Acartesiandaemon.livejournal.com+enismirdal&btnG=Google+Search&meta=
Of course, the ranking can be a bit random if no-one ever links to the pages, I think, but most searches are just complete garbage, only a few are good.

*hug* But this is a administrative faff, right? As in, major pain, but you still seem to be enrolled? Beaurocracy sucks.
Also, sorry -- I can't remember: remind me in what manner you are going to be poking bees now? :)

(okay, I don't really hate them, I just don't like them as much as Hobbits, dwarves or gnomes.)

Date: 18 Sep 2006 23:56 (UTC)I'm an old pro at moving these days - I used to trip back and forth between home and uni 6 times a year! This time, however, I didn't even get to visit my new home before I arrived, so it was all a bit of a suprise!

Date: 18 Sep 2006 23:44 (UTC)I have to upgrade my YIM, apparently it doesn't support the MSN chat feature thingy. But not tonight. My computer is unhappy tonight.
I'm mailing you something in about an hour - hope you get it okay *grins*

I don't feel like going to bed yet, so I imagine I'll be around to pick up the mail as it comes in! *bounces*
