I went to log into IRC tonight…

ned@power:~$ bitchx Vobiscum brisbane.oz.org
bash: bitchx: command not found

In the 4 months I have had this computer, I haven’t tried to log on to IRC. Who would have thunk it.

It’s official. I have become a lazy ass uni student. According to my former employer, there is no need for me to grow my hair and dress down, as I have always looked like that. What would he know. At least I have never embraced the pinnacle of fashion hideousness that is the corporate polo.

I am studying for a Bachelor of Built Environment in Urban and Regional Planning. We are told that the Built Environment bit will be dropped from the course shortly. After I complete the Bachelor (three years), and then a post-grad (between 1 and 1.5 years), I will have the qualifications needed to become a town planner. YAY!

There are a couple reasons why am doing this course. The first is that I wanted to study in a field that was going to challenge me. The graphics and hand writing require in this course are really going to require some hard work to get them up to standard. The other reason is that I didn’t get into Architecture. The option may be there to move across after a year, but I think I will just see how things go with this course before committing to changing.

Unfortunately, I still have to work to support myself. This means I will still be doing that icky computer gig on the side. Well, at least until I pay off all my debts and find something better to do.

So much has happend since my last post. I would write about it all, but I don’t have time now. Instead I will leave you with a picture of our pet crow. His/Her name is Charlie. He/She fell out of his/her nest and broke his/her wing when he/she was a baby. We have been looking after him ever since. He/She still can’t fly, and even though we don’t keep him/her in a cage, he/she never wonders too far from the house. Yes, its very hard to tell if crows are male for female.
