rhyllToday I am happy about:
* Pleasant emails from numerous delights,
* The library here is natural lit and has open windows, so it is not only quite pleasant to sit in but very quiet (no sounds of lights humming),
* Kalgoorlie-Boulder is apparently not so backward (it is weird finding out about this on the Internet...kind of like the time I found out someone had turfed the inside of a phone box outside the Flying Scotsman in Mt Lawley via BoingBoing, a US site),
* I am still all full of excitement about getting back to Perth, and all my lovely people, and living in a sharehouse again (especially this particular sharehouse, which has been quite lovely in the past),
* that my letter made it to kalgoorlie ok.
I am not so happy that:
* I still have over two complete books to read, and not enough time to read them in, so I'll probably have to come back out here. Attempts to find copies to buy remain unsuccessful.
* My research feels like it is still going quite slowly - I can't believe I've been here a month! I am calming myself on this front by reminding myself that I very often have research-related panic, and in the past it hasn't necessarily meant that my work was doomed.
* Less importantly, I am a bit miffed that only one of my bookcrossing books has been registered so far.
