Long and library filled day

I went to college. I'm having trouble with studying Maus. It makes me feel ill. Too much too bad. So I think I'm going to have to file it very firmly in the 4 more hours of lessons there are left to study this text. But I turned up today not having done the reading, the secondary stuff, just having read Maus. Is not good. I need to do paying attention. I read all the stuff in the library after.

I am finally enrolled at college! They had to do it by hand because the computer still doesn't know about me, but whatever, the forms are filled in. And Blackboard isn't giving me any new links to click on, so I'll have to email the teachers to ask pretty please to be added since I can't find any such links. It's hard to do studying when the study stuff plain isn't there. But I filled in my PTG1 and only need an envelope and some stamps and then the money will be sent, and nobody asked for my money they just filled in the form despite what the letters said about having to pay up front, so I call it a success. Qualified success. Okay, a failure that has turned into someone else's workload from here on out.

The library still hasn't got a silent study area. The new automated check in and out machine works great though. I could bring my one week loan book back and then get it out again straight away without having to talk anyone into it. Win. And the HE study are has some nice sofas. Well, some sofas that I can't get comfortable on but in different ways than I can't get comfortable on the ones downstairs, which is almost like nice.

When I got tired of the sofas I went to the Forum library and returned and renewed books there. They have quite nice soft chairs.

Then I walked up to the pub. Science fiction night. There were six new people. That's the most new people ever, and the most people I've seen at the group ever. There's six of us regulars too so that was a whole dozen people turned up. My social life is huge!

... I think I got in arguments with all of them. Or maybe just one guy a lot. I got into talking about comics. He is of the opinion that the essence of Batman is to be Lone Dark Vengeance. I, er, have opinions. Batman has never been lone. Robin was there from nearly the beginning. Certainly longer than anyone in that room has been reading comics. The essence of Batman is Batfamily. And there were other comics based disagreements. And given that I have stopped reading comics because I hate so much of what they've done to them I should probably stop getting into arguments about them but I have feelings... even if they kind of boil down to 'My Robins! *hugs*'

So possibly I need to work on the social skills a bit again.

Or find new topics.

But there was lots of talking so call that a success so far.

Then A, my lift home, turned up at 2220 and the pub announced it was closing for the night. Good timing. I'm a bit worried, the pub keeps closing early. I don't want to have to change pubs, they're all different. The Mischief over the bridge seems quite busy, but in ways that spill onto the pavement and into the road and cause honking and loudness. I like our pub quite a lot better.

Then there was driving and then I was home and then I told the whole entire internets all about my day.

*waves*

I'm quite cheerful. Especially since I woke up at 0840 and it is now 2340ish and I've been awake a proper 15 hours. I'd expect to be quite wore out by now.

And tomorrow I get to read all the Victorians stuff, and Friday we study Goblin Market. Win :-)
