rfmcdonaldI phoned home when I got in, and it turns out that my remaining possessions waiting to be shipped--computer, clothes, and the rest--has just been shipped today. If I'm lucky, I'll get it Tuesday evening; if I'm unlucky, Wednesday. This is a Good Thing.
Where did I get in from? Well, at 8 o'clock I went down to the heart of the campus at University and Union in front of the Stauffer library to meet Phil, since Saturday evening (donair night) I'd left my kitbag at his apartment. Afterwards, I first went to the library to register for a seminar Friday (on using the library website) and then went down to Watson Hall on the level of the English Department.
There, I found out via QCard that I was registered for five courses in fall semester instead of four, including one course taken only by doctoral students and another offered only in winter. Since the latter, in particular, seemed inconvenient, I went back to my dorm room to fetch my registration sheet. On the way, I chatted with two of my dorm mates and had lunch with another, returning to Watson at 1.
After getting some stuff done on the computer, I went downtown. I bought some more books to fill my room, and some cleaning supplies to clean before my stuff got there. I got back to my down at 4 o'clock, stopping off at the Kingston office of the NDP to chat to the lonely woman working the desk and pick up some material (including a good pin regarding the need to cap tuition).
I'd thought about renting a fridge, but after seeing the scuzzy fridges offered for rent, seeing the three fridges (two large, one small) in the common room, and realizing that I'm sharing those fridges with dorm students who shouldn't be likely to pilfer my stuff, I've decided not to rent a fridge but use the common room facilities. If I encounter problems, I'll just buy a fridge new; apparently they have a good resale value.
I thought about going to a Queen's Queer meet-and-greet barbecue at the JDUC at 5 o'clock. I guess I've now decided against it. I will go for Phranc though, at 9 o'clock (a film about a Jewish lesbian folksinger making it big as a Tupperware saleswomen) and just have a small supper at the Grad Club.
Oh, and I'll be getting my stuff Tuesday or Wednesday. Did I mention that?
