I picked up my new glasses today. Vogue black rectangular frame. I love them! I can see the screen without straining and I can read fine print without squinting like an oldie. I'm all set for Uni, except that I would like to find some nice pens. I have the highlighters and the colourful notebooks but all I need now are some pens. I'm looking forward to my subjects this semester. I'm doing Children's Literature (sounds easy but it's a level 3 subject so will be a lot of hard work), New Ethnicities & Old Rascism's, Aesthetics and Representing Crime. Should be dandy, especially considering I have friends in at least two classes this semester.
But in more national news, the bushfires are still ravaging through Victoria. There's been a lot of news coverage, national and international which is good because New Zealand and Indonesia have offered assistance to help the firefighters, Australian army and other such individuals and organisations that have volunteered their help. I donated a small amount to the Red Cross online today. It wasn't much but it was all I could afford in keeping to my tight 'full-time student/retail worker' budget. You should donate too, if you haven't already. http://www.redcross.org.au
But for now, I think I will be off to read a book or just rest my head. I think my body is fighting off the flu. I had a dizzy spell after going to bed last night: I was lying down, what the?! Anyway, I can't get sick because I'm going to the Art Gallery to feel smart tomorrow! I hope I remember what I learnt at Uni in Renaissance to Impressionism.
