Holiday Greetings

December 19, 2008 - A-life & Australia & ENGLISH - (2) COMMENTs

I just discovered the public library in Floreat, which is the next suburb over from our new home, where we buy our groceries. They have internet here, yay, and I can quickly check my emails without driving 20 minutes to the university to do it there.
Internet usage at libraries is generally free here, one only needs a membership, which is also free. The usage is limited as one hour per person per day or so. But that’s enough if I need to check something really quick only. I could only get a guest card, because I could not show that me is me, so I could not set up the free membership. Why? Read on.

I won’t be able to use the university’s internet from the 25th of December until the 8th of January, because the whole university will shut down for that time. Bummer. I might be regularly at the library here…I’m not sure. If there is something urgent better sms me.

Two days ago my wallet just got stolen and so I’ve lost all my (bank)-cards and stuff, which really sucks…right before Christmas and no Cola-ID (how to show that me is me?) and no cash flow and just a daily complication. Argh!
Luckily no money was used with my cards (I also had my German VISA card in the wallet). I could block all cards before the evil theft used them. Now I’m waiting for the new cards to arrive….takes at least 10 days. And the VISA card will go to my parents in Germany who will send it over then. Damn, I wanted to transfer some Euros over with that VISA card, because the Australian Dollar is very low at the moment, which means for every Euro I would get 2 Aussiedollar.
Well, now I probably need to wait until end of December or even January…
No mattress also until then either…because no money. Too bad. 2008 really needs to finish…it was a quite stressful year…I want 2009!!! Immediately!! Please!
