Webrings and university

Been joining some blog related webrings and the Pepys Project, also signed up at blogrolling, because that’s much easier than adding every single link by hand. Now, if I find an interesting journal, all I have to do is click a link in my toolbar and it’ll appear in the ‘other people’ section – cool, huh?

Not site related – picked up my ‘Internet and Identity’ paper this morning. The teacher liked it – a good grade, yay! Not that I actually need grades (it’s all pass or fail in my subjects), but still, it’s nice. I’m still disappointed that I wasn’t allowe to write it in English, since most people who filled out my questionnaire won’t be able to read it now. I’ll put it up one of these days, just in case someone who speaks German is interested…

I also picked up a book about structures of everyday life for my field trip – unfortunately the first volume had been stolen, so I had to order it from Berne. Back at home the woman from the travel agency called – Hawaii is a no go if I don’t want to pay quite a bit more, which is a pity. But at least I’m on a cheaper flight now – with Emirates, which is supposed to be a pretty posh airline. I’ll have to spend eight hours at night in Dubai, but supposedly the airport is pretty good for shopping, or I might check into a hotel, if it’s not too expensive.

We’ll see – in any case I’m pretty excited about my four weeks of ‘field trip exercise’ in New Plymouth and my four weeks of traveling in Australia! And now I really need to get working on my presentation for tomorrow – been happily procrastinating the last couple of days, but now I don’t have choice, I have to tackle that strange presentation program that comes with AppleWorks 6… Wish me luck! *g*
