Wheeeee!
I'm now enrolled to learn most of what I'll ever need to know to be a library technician. Yay me! *points at icon*
The enrolment session was pure mayhem, and I very nearly missed one of the classes that's pre-requisite for almost anything. So, I got special permission to join the class.
At 9am.
On Monday.
I think that means that I really want that bit of paper. :)
And then, once the two years of that are done, it can also count for a year of credit on a degree in library and information science. Wheee!
Next, I went to a bookstore today, and they had Son of a Witch. So, I bought it. *points at icon*
It's now joined my reading queue.
Next, my copy of Serenisquee arrives in SEVEN DAYS! Wheee! *points at icon*
And, lastly, while at the bookstore, I bought the thing I actually went for. I picked the Australian version over the normal Concise Oxford because... well... it was bigger. And heavier. And ever-so-slightly cheaper. And it's pretty much all from the same database of Oxfordness anyway. So, now I have authoritative definitions for 'bogan', 'Canberra bashing', 'budgie smugglers' and 'esky lid'.
Also, I have a sudden desire to randomly look up words.

Date: 2006-02-01 03:44 pm (UTC)There is some suspicion from lexicographers that the word may derive from the area around the Bogan river, but it's not clear and not definite - hence, the dictionary says it's uncertain. :)
