Brand New Shiny Computer is at the shop, being fixed. On Saturday I should get him back, and then I can seriously start replacing all the software I lost in the Great Computer Crash. Computer type friends - expect a call from me in the next week or so :)

Other significant thing which happened today: Got a haircut. Yay! After hunting around all of Canberra for a decent and not ridiculously expensive hairdresser, I ended up going back to the one on campus. Makes me all nostalgic for university :)

Which got me thinking - I really would like to go back to uni. While, fingers crossed, I will be starting my Masters next year (if I ever get around to submitting my paperwork), I'd really like to be able to go back full time and study something completely, just for interest's sake. I'd love to do an Arts degree, for instance. Maybe one of these days...

The other important thing which happened today was that I bought an adorable Super-deformed Darth Vader. On special, even. Now I just have to convince myself that I don't want to go back and get the TIE Fighter Pilot and Stormtrooper too...

Oh, and thanks for all the input and feedback on my topic for the public speaking competition. I've registered, and now just have to write and learn the damn thing. Before Monday. Hmmm - why do I do this to myself?

Studying something just because you're interested in it is wonderful, and I hope you do get to do it. What would you study if you had the choice?

That Darth Vader is AWESOME! So cute. I'm very jealous. :)

He is so cute, isn't he?

Hmm. Definitely an arts degree (I've already done my 'study science for fun' science degree while I was getting my 'practical' engineering degree).

What I'd really like to study is some sort of combination of pop-culture/fandom, and the portrayal of things like science and technology/scientists and engineers are portrayed in the media, and how this effects real life. I'm not quite sure what that would translate to in terms of majors though :)
