Another working week begins. No fire alarms today; nothing exciting at all, in fact. Did some more marking. Hopefully will finish that by tomorrow afternoon. I attended the complex systems lecture as usual. This one was on economics from a complex systems point of view. It seemed very high-level to me, but then my mind started wandering toward the end. And just now I got home from my spanish lesson, during which we were introduced to yet another tense. I have tenses coming out of my ears now!

Shortly, tomorrow or the day after, I should know whether I’m going to Berkeley, California for a conference. The notifications of acceptance should have been sent around on Friday, our time, but for some reason they’re running late. Fingers crossed, anyway.

We received some Liberal Party propaganda in the mail today. Apparently local elections are coming up. They’re promising to build five tunnels thereby creating three river crossings (not quite sure how that works) at critical locations to ease traffic congestion. I’ve promised myself not to take too much interest in political issues, world events and suchlike, for a while anyway. So perhaps I shouldn’t be reading Stupid White Men right now. Hmm.

I just remembered I still haven’t filled out my tax return! Better do that sooner rather than later. When’s the deadline, I wonder?
