Reasons to love my university include: I'm about twenty minutes early for going into my lecture. So I'm sitting on the bricks outside the lecture room (it's on the upper floor, so there's no conveniently-located grass), with my laptop on my knees complete with internet access. Wireless SNAP is awesome. I may play World of Warcraft or something to pass the time.
Something I meant to mention yesterday - relevant to Perthites only - is this: at Subiaco train station yesterday, in the carpark I saw a car with a 1YAD licence plate. Standard plate, blue on white, 1YAD nnn (I don't remember what the numbers were). What the hell? It was definitely a Y, I checked that like four times because I was so surprised.
There's a man wandering along checking all the fire extinguishers set into the wall along here. I find that oddly reassuring.Current Music: Relient K - I Still Hate Consequences

My pain continues: I was all set to poke the internet through this lecture, and then discovered... SNAP doesn't reach in here.
Also, the previous class (run, according to comments I overheard by a student who was in it, by "the most boring man on the PLANET") didn't turn on the air-conditioning in here and the room is hot and muggy and sticky. It's not that hot this morning, but it's extremely humid, and this room is currently substantially warmer than it is outside.
I turned the A/C on, because I Know How Shit Stuff Works around here.
(Today is Shrove Tuesday. Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday. I decided to try and stop swearing for Lent, and I can't remember offhand whether Lent starts today or tomorrow.)
Assessment so far of the class: ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif) theducks's cousin is in it.
Heh, the lecturer just arrived. Looks around classroom. "Is the air con on?"
Me: "Yeah. But I only just turned it on when we came in."
Him: "Oh. Right."
FAIL, PREVIOUS LECTURER
More random things:
Him: It's really disconcerting for there to be no-one talking when it's still, by the clock, three minutes to ten.
Me: Before you came in we were all plotting against you, but now we've had to stop.
Him: Thank God I remembered to take my paranoia pills this morning.
I am Old and relatively confident, and also, I have met him before more than once, and I know he does in fact have a sense of humour.
There's a MAKE HOWARD HISTORY sticker on the back of a chair a couple of rows in front of me. He was dropped by the nation as a whole in late 2007...
( I promise not to liveblog ALL my lectures, but today I am still having focus issues and this helps. )
later
And now I'm home to post.
