Wow, the $3 stamp is small here. I’d been dealing with aerogrammes (and not with stamps since the postage is part of it) but I bought one today to send in my absentee ballot request.
I don’t know much about Global Environment: it was a syllabus day. I’m sure a chunk of it will overlap with POLS 361 back home, as there was already some muttering about regimes (the norms and procedures kind, not the Bush kind). One bit of good news (concealed from exchange students) is that tutorials don’t meet this week. I’ll go to the one for Mandarin since it’s exchange-only and they might expect us there, I guess, but that delays my start tomorrow by an hour.
Labo(u)r Day exists here, but not today. Rumor has it Michigan Law fee waivers are in the postal system, so I’m hoping for a Tuesday arrival for that in Charleston.
My ID picture has my eyes rolling back in my head and a 52 o’ clock shadow thanks to Cathay Pacific’s luggage sloth. But in addition to a barcode, the IDs have contactless smart technology (like the Octopus): instead of enduring endless mis-scans from the optical scanner, I can now tap it on a pad when entering the dorm. Cool.
I might go glasses-shopping soon: I’ve asked after (and found) the local address here of one of the great Internet cut-rate optical shops. If the weather isn’t awful I might go after class tomorrow morning.
It’s reading time: The Meaning of Everything, here I come. I guess I should be working a little on the “class journal” for POL 303, but… not yet.
