So I''m looking back at what's happened so far since I came here. As it turns out, I have adapted fairly well to living on my own. I've kept a tight set of accounts so far, I'm not spending a horrifying amount even though things are so much more expensive here, I haven't contracted food poisoning yet and... Well, I seem to be holding it together.
On the other hand, I've been unable to get to a doctor to look at the chronic infection on my leg - the staff at the campus medical centre have been extremely unhelpful, and I haven't been able to find a GP in town. Man, do I miss the convenience of polyclinics back at home...Looks like this is one infection I'll have to handle on my own. Mind you, the doctors at home never could do anything for it either. All they ever did give me were tubes of 0.025% w/v betamethasone valerate. Yes, even the one who said he'd give me a "stronger" medicine.
There have nevertheless been good days. April the First was a very good day, even leaving out the pranks.
Speaking of which, the pranks were more than enough. BBC and Google were of course busy, but I never expected Science to publish political satire. Also, Lego Halo, courtesy of Electronic Gaming Monthly. Meanwhile Firefox News had some creepy information to share and Uncyclopedia featured itself on the main page. Wikipedia has kept a record of all this nonsense and more for posterity.
So what now? A lot of work, it would appear. The first mid-semester test comes in on Tuesday.
Time to start looking forward again.
