Yet the Skies have shone like Gold
As we're in Hazel House, we still have no internal internet. That's coming, but has been delayed a few times now (currently, it'll be due on Wednesday). As such, we're dependent on the Computer Centre down at Holloway for our online access. Therefore, when they shut down the campus computer network from Friday until this morning, we were a little stuck. I couldn't submit an entry to the Amecon writing competition, and also had to phone home in order to book train tickets for Amecon. Equally, I've been unable to read anyone's livejournals, nor update my own, and so I'm faced with a list (yes, a list, I typed it out) of entries to reply to, another list of things to update about and a rather short amount of time, because even when this place is operational, it's not the most homely of environments.

I'd have been here this morning, if it hadn't been for electricians coming round to deactivate our power for three hours this afternoon whilst we sat around twiddling our thumbs (metaphotically: I made a list of where all UK A roads from A1 to A99 start and end. It was a slow day indeed). I've only recently returned online, and it's long past safe walking time through Englefield Green, so I'll be leaving any moment now. After so long, it'll be nice to actually have internet in my room for a change...although only just before Amecon!

So...that's where I've been. Sleeping, reading newspapers, eating ricecakes, cooking vegetables...it's been a riot.
