Well, I hate not having internet in my house. It means I have to come to campus to use it. It also means that it's really hard for me to see the computers, so I have to touchtype, and just hope that I'm not making too many spelling mistakes, as I can't see what's on the screen.
Hopefully, I will be getting rid of my crutches tomorrow. I have bruises on one arm from using them, & a big red mark on the other. They're also a pain when I need to carry anything.
I now have a social worker-y-type lady to help me with stuff to do with my eyes. She's nice. I now have orange stickers on things like the cooker & washing machine so that I know which settings are the ones that I use. She is, however, going to bring a white cane with her next time so I can have a look at it & decide whether I want one. I can't say that I'm to enthralled with the idea.
My pay has gone up. I'm now on £4.90 an hr as opposed to £4.55. Yay! I'm now also the supervisor of the casual staff! Yay again! Last week, I was doing a bit of supervisor type work, and asked some people to do something again, but they got cross, & told me that I wasn't worth as much as them, as I wasn't getting paid as much, and that I was only an undergrad...I'm now on the same money as them - they're all postgrads, and are inbetween 3 & 8 yrs older than me, and so were in the pay bracket above me, because they're older...But now, because I'm me(!) I get paid the same, & it's my job to tell them to do things again if they're not good enough...
I'm still finding Exeter kind of strange due to the general lack of people...But, I'm glad that I didn't go home for the summer. On Friday, I went to the Artful Dodger - it's nice, & cheap! On Sunday, Mark, Norris & I went to the Cowley - we wanted to do the pub quiz, but there wasn't one.
Does anyone know anything much about Canon Law? Do I have to pay off my student loan before I can make my vows as a Sister?
Please could you all pray...My great uncle hanged himself last week...I hadn't had any contact with him for 5 years - he's my father's uncle - but him & my great aunt sent me birthday cards until I was 16, so 5 years longer than any one else in my father's family, and because of that they've always been kind of special...So, prayers really would be appreciated...
