poo

It’s poo when one of my stated goals is to be a better blogger and for some unknown reason I can’t actually get into Blogger using my eMac and Safari, or my eMac and Explorer.

Do I need to download Firefox?
or
Do I need to do something else that isn’t readily known to me because I can’t get into the Blogger Help files either. It’s all very peculiar.

sudoko in vic park

Today I took the dog, and the article about sudoko* to Victoria Park. I was enjoying myself, sitting in the sun, on the grass, doing the puzzle, very nice, very relaxing, talking to the dog from time to time. Lovely. Then along came a male beagle. I thought Malfi was okay with this dog initially. She stood there, didn't back off, didn't bark, then all of a sudden she decided to crawl away from this beagle, over my legs and do a wee at the same time. Nice. So then we went home so that I could change and wash my trousers.

*I can't seem to find the article in the SMH archive. Sudoko is a number puzzle, a 9 x 9 grid, with missing numbers. You've got to put the correct numbers in the blank boxes so that each horizontal line, and each vertical line, as well as each 3 x 3 block has got the numbers 1 to 9 in it. There are some examples here.

to finish is good

I graduated last week. It was fantastic. Before the graduation I was depressed about the whole experience, thinking what a waste of time it had been (in terms of bettering myself financially, and getting on with a career) but the day was cool. A friend and I had made a pact to go to the ceremony together, because we’d both found it so hard to get through, and another friend came and took photos of us, and my Mum came, and we all went out for yum cha afterwards. So it was good in that I realised that I’d a) made very good friends through doing the degree, and b) I’d actually finished something, besides all of the academic things like learning to focus, and think critically, and discuss etc etc etc
So yes, it’s a good thing to finish a degree.
