So I’m sitting around, waiting to meet with my supervisor about my thesis. And I think I’ve worked out what I’m going to miss most about uni – the free printing and Internet. Well, it’s not exactly… free. The Engineering Department gives you like 100 pages per semester, 250 if you’re doing thesis. I think because I print most of my lecture notes at home (hello the wonders of FinePrint!), I’ve hardly used mine. So, I had like 550 pages in my quota. I figured I might as well make use of it, the printer is FAST and does duplex as default. So I’ve printed all the manuals for my thesis software and I’ve brought it down to 445. LOL. I’m gonna have to go and find things to print now…

And yeah, free Internet over the wi-fi at uni has been a godsend for a) boring lectures, b) downloading necessary software, c) not being able to find a computer to do assignments on. I don’t think I’ll ever have that sort of freedom again. I wonder if my accounts will still work next semester? Not that I’ll be around to enjoy them. Oh wells.

I’m buggered as all hell today, cos I stayed up till like 4:00am this morning. I attended a ‘webinar’ for JasperSoft. Thanks to the time difference, their 1pm is our 3am… and knowing my inability to wake up after having slept two hours, I thought it would be better just to stay up late. Needless to say, I didn’t get much sleep. But I woke up so tired this morning I decided to skip my ELEC4605 lab. My lab partner was heaps nice to get my attendance marked off though ^^ I’ve got an assignment due for that subject in about 3 weeks, and I have a fear I’ll be doing most of it in the last week. Unfortunately I can’t do any of the work at home, because I don’t have a NanoBoard or Altium Designer 6 and the last time I bought that type of electronics, well… let’s just say it’s not being used very much. Shame really. I can imagine how fun it would be to have one of these at home and be able to program it to do different things and light up and says things on the LCD display. But hrm… can’t really imagine myself doing that on weekends.
