HAPPY CATURDAY. 
Kirby is still @ the Vet's.
Everyone adores him. He has been very ingatiating & been an absolute sweetie.
Hopefully I will have him home tomorrow.

Olivia...
Because I'm not going to talk about chickens.
I have been quietly tearing my hair out in between vet visits to give our Kirby his daily cuddles [my vet is excellent that way]. I haven't visited the last 2 days as they wanted to keep him extra quiet & sedated but UNE enrolments opened & silly me went, Oh Goody! I can do this. On line. How hard can it be? Some of you won't be surprised to learn that forms & I do not do well together! There are about 10 steps to wade through. I do not remember this being so complicated last time I did this but last time I went through under Hawk [which was brilliant] & @ a relatively young uni no~one minded I initially enroled in one course but actually graduated in another. Don't ask. Some of us just aren't the brightest pennies in the pound. So I managed the first 9 steps `including my student number, which is a new government thing & kept for life & the fees thing [no idea what I've actually done ] then came unstuck big time trying to add courses.

Firstly I have major problems with having no actual handbook to flip through. I'm old, ok. Everything's online. Secondly almost 1/2 the subjects I was very interested in aren't actually being offered. So why are they still listed? Three days & one phone call later I'm actually enrolled & still pretty clueless. I have 1 course from archaeology, 2 from English, & 2 from my actual major. 
I feel so dumb. And I still have no idea how the timetabling works. Nor am I absolutely sure about books & whether I need Office or whether I can access the uni one. It's not the actual work that worries me. It's all this other stuff. Rant over. I am going to go sit with Olivia & be calm & spacey. They don't care.

I guess going to uni is all about being out of one's depth and challenging oneself!Olivia...

Well, I'm certainly out of my depth!
It's no wonder academic types have a reputation for not being so practical. I don't think they could have made it harder if they'd tried.
Chickens have very good eyesight! Echo used to follow me around if I was digging and yank stuff out that I never saw. But she sure was happy doing it.
Good thing it is only a feeling and not a fact!Don't they have any counselors or other sorts of people to help with all that stuff?

@bruceha2000 Good thing it is only a feeling and not a fact!

Yes, they do but doing it by phone given computer directives is waay more complicated than in person. I've also enroled early as I'm not waiting on exam results so some stuff still isn't in place.

Happy Caturday everyone.
The chipmunks are a real tease. They run up to the glass and then when they have his attention they scamper away waving their tails at him in a very provocative manner. He will either die from the stress or from the concussion he gets when he bangs his head leaping at the glass.
Just kidding. He is fine. But at this time of year it is his major hobby.
