So today wasn't quite what I had planned.... I had an amazing sleep, but was up early to get started on my essay. Can't believe I came all the way to Birdsville to do schoolwork! I got started on it in good time, knocked out the main body, then Sandra and I spent an hour or so editing.
After lunch Sandra and Leon headed down to the racetrack while I kept working. Due to the huge number of people here (about 6000) the Internet is only working for a few hours in the early morning, there is just so much 'traffic' it stops! So I had to write two essays without any Internet. I had mum on the phone updating my resume for me, because I couldn't access it from my email. The idea was that I'd fax my essays home, but the phone lines were all down too! Apparently it's a frequent occurrence here... I raced down the street to the information center, but mum still couldn't get it, so I took photos of them, and sent them to Becca, who the typed them up again! What a crazy hullabaloo! And right down to the wire- got it in right on five.
I'd forgotten just how stressful these things can be! By the time I finished, I was exhausted, so I went and had a lay down on my swag. It was dark by the time I woke up. Now I've had tea, I'm going back to bed.
