Money Business

Brrr. TYhank goodness for an oil heater beside my bed this morning (left on all night). Without it I'm not sure if my body would have been able to move.
In the kitchen I noticed that even the ants were moving much slower than they usually do. Their little stick bodies are also affected by the cold it seems.

School today was good. Some exceptions of course. In the last week I have taught in 3 classrooms - three different venues. Tomorrow will be the 4th, and hopefully the last. It may be the best too, as it has been painted and looks and feels new. It's also a nice combination of being small, and brightly light. It has windows on two or three sides, so lots of morning sunshine. Nice. Am thinking of buying a notebook from Charles, a friend of Fransa's, and then throwing Powerpoint displays onscreen behind me using a projector. Michelle has already said a projector is available if I want to use it.

Brebner has already asked me to provide all my banking details, and they now have a signed contract from me. I actually get paid this week. I'm meant to be paid tomorrow, but because of internet delays, it will probably be the day after.

I am having so much fun with the DVD. Overlaid all the Longtom pass stuff with a Vanessa May (violin) piece. Brilliant. Gives me gooseflesh whenever I watch it.
Bumped into JP on my way here. He offered me some Pringles. Behind us, on the TV's hovering along Itakaleng Bridge (whatever it's called) there was footage of the London marathon. Wish I had run that instead of so much running after my girlfriend at the time.

Also saw Justus today and got Bok's diary. Did some banking too - paid Berendine and Dr. Fichardt. Now I have to quickly digest 'The Importance of Being Earnest' and churn out a quick assignment for tomorrow. Possible, of course, but I've been on my feet all day. In Raftery's class I felt myself nodding off. Interesting the contrast between university and school. We're so quiet you can hear the pencils scribbling. At Brebner it's just a loud din all day. Lots of voices jabbering, chewing your brains like ants, little piranhas trying to eat your brains and drive you mad.

Moving in to the hostel is happening very slowly. It's fine. It helps me feel like I am not always at school. Nice to have 108 to myself (really just for sleep and computer time in the afternoon - on my computer of course).

I also see since I last looked my 3 unit trusts have added another R1000 in value to the initial investment. Nice. It's nice when money works for you.

Now to get down to the business of studying...
