Unreasonably tiring

beccaelizabethToday I went to the council office and got a stamp on a piece of paper that should unjam my student funding. I have to write the envelope and remember to post it. Er, this probably means I'll send it friday, or sunday at the latest. :eyeroll:
To get to the council offices you need a car, or to cross four lanes of traffic with lousy pavement. It's behind Tesco. Is not good.
But my employee has a car, so that worked out.
Then I (just) caught a bus and went to college.
There was a traffic detour because Wellington Road is closed, and that made the bus go past my old house I lived in while in high school, which feels weird somehow since I haven't had occasion to go in that direction... pretty much since then. The tree is gone and also the fence. I'm glad I don't live there any more.
The bus was very full and smelled kind of funny.
I try not to notice bus smell but it was a distinctive example of the genre.
College was easy, I sit in the library for an hour, scan some pages of Maus, make an essay plan.
My notes are longer than the essay can be but the teacher was happy enough with the plan and says now I just have to edit and focus. I am down to like nine pages to write about and we need to focus on just the one. I'm sure I'll be able to do that aaaaaany time now.
Also I decided to panic early this time and ask for extra time, and he says okays, he'll figure out how to tell the computer I get extra time now.
I has exam on Friday. Do not want. Must go back to study for it some more. Have all day tomorrow to re-read my notes and try and have a coherent opinion.
Do not expect to do well this semester. :-p
Caught the bus home. The bus got as far as Cowper Road and stopped between the dentist and the car place and said that was as close to town as they were getting. Is an interesting definition of town. I mean, we're the width of a car park away from the high street, which was clearly what they meant, but apparently being one street away in Dereham is far enough to be not in town yet.
I went to the supermarket from there, is easy, they have a back door in the car park and a alley down the side. I walked out the front door and past the usual bus stop. I don't know what the X1 bus is doing tonight, but there were people waiting for it, so hopefully it is doing the same usual stops.
I also checked when the last bus to Norwich is, and I think it said half past ten, but I can't remember if it was just before or just after. I can remember the last bus out of Norwich cause that's the way around I go, but tonight the science fiction group is having the christmas meal here due to presence of Thai food with a big vegetarian selection. Which clearly makes it the perfectly perfect day for the roads to go all detour.
Probably everyone will find their way there okays.
And I do like the eatings there.
Okay, time to have a rest before the big eating evening.
