Today was the day for handing in all the coursework. Of course I just about but didn't quite get there, I still have to look up a property on www.linz.govt.nz and find out the previous six owners, but I'll do that tomorrow. I've posted a couple of other bits of work as entries here (3 entries in one day, a new record).
After finishing at the uni I went to visit a friend, hung out for a bit and was given a beer. Then on the way home there was an exhibition opening at that little triangular gallery opposite the takeaway bar on Riddiford St. So I went and said hi to a couple of people and was given another two beers. Celebration for (almost) finishing my course workload? Only now I'm back home, the beers are wearing off and I suppose I could go into town but don't have the money to proceed any further. The bathos of student life.
Handing in the work's not really an ending at all, now I've got to get into exam study. And I've got a final attempt at shorthand on Thursday. On one hand they're allowing it to be generous but on the other it's just prolonging the agony further.
In other news I've been listening to some good new music the last couple of days, the David S. Ware Quartet, Sunburned Hand of the Man, Derek Bailey's Ballads and John Zorn's Electric Masada. Great stuff.
And I got a reply to my Official Information Act request for the piece of investigative journalism I'm doing. It's too late for the course, and it's still a secret so I can't tell you what it is yet. It'll be interesting though...
