Utinam logica falsa tuam philosophiam totam suffodiant!

Couldn't anyone have TOLD me that it's the non-teaching period?

I've had this bloody cold/virus/infection for over two weeks now, which means I've missed classes week one and two of the social work semester, which starts later than normal Melbourne Uni semester two. So yesterday I dragged myself in, had a long and frustrating talk with the admin person (if I knew where the lecture theatre was, I wouldn't be asking if it was in this building, would I?) and then caught sight of my lecturer, "Hello Lou!" said I, "Great! I'll just follow you to class" to which she replied that on the contrary, there were no classes this week or next and she was just off to grab a coffee.

Both Lou and the admin lady were very nice to me as I appeared dismayed at my mistake. It probably helped that my voice was going, my eyes were teary (in the "sneezed too much" way not the "I'm heartbroken not to go to class way") and I was obviously not on top of my game. They told me to go home and go to bed, which I did, after taking a slight detour to Call Me Madam and finally purchasing the Ultimate Black Dress which I've wanted ever since I saw cows_might_fly's one. Now I have a nice dress to wear this weekend!

Which brings me to the topic of this weekend, mc_shamo and I are going away! It's his birthday on Saturday and to celebrate I've booked a weekend away at a Secret Location (I know where it is, he does not) I've been planning this since March, so hopefully it all goes well and we have a lovely relaxing time, and I'm fully over this cold!

Right now I'm on hold to the local bulk bill doc, the hold music is techno. I'm starting to wonder if I really need my scripts filed or if I should just hang up...
