"Fill a bag for only A$5.00"

I missed the shuttle again today and thus was forced to take the Huntingdale bus to connect with the Flinder's Street Station train. The thing is, the 12:40 pm bus gives you exactly 5 minutes to walk from the Huntingdale bus stop to the train station. Normally this is more than enough, but today the bus was delayed by this long ass truck who was trying to back into a plaster factory right off the highway. The trailer was so long, the truck actually had to go over the road divider to back into the driveway of the factory. Thus, all four lanes of the northbound traffic was down to a standstill to accommodate the truck. The truck took a good 5 minutes to completely back into the driveway and thus, by the time the bus got to the train station, the train was already pulling in. I had to sprint to get to the train platform and the doors started closing just as I ran noisily into the train, startling a poor old lady who was about to doze off. Heh. I think only 3 of the 15 people on the bus managed to get on that train. The next train is a good 20 minutes away and that would make me late for my tutorial so that's why I wanted to get on this one.

Anyway, I had my Network Administration lab today and there was this movie being shown to explain the concept of the Internet. I've seen this one countless times before, the movie is Warriors of the Net [warriorsofthe.net] and it's made by Ericsson for internal purposes but seems to have spread far and wide because, truth to be told, it actually is a very good movie that explains networking concepts in easy to understand terms.

A$5.00 per bag

Well, as I was heading back I saw that the bookshop is having a sale tomorrow. It's not your normal, run of the mill sale, but one where you can fill a bag with as many books as you can for only A$5! Basically, they provide you with a bag and you go around stuffing books into the bag until you can't fit anymore in and you pay A$5 at the counter. I'm not sure what books will be available and what the size of the bag actually is, but it's a pretty good deal nevertheless. If you're interested, that's the bookshop of the Caulfield campus of Monash University.
