skype meetings

monday
6 dec.

i tried to go to campus yesterday. i wanted to go. i really wanted to travel somewhere and go to the gym and accomplish things.
but the 'heavy' snow 'conditions' didn't allow for that.
i went to the bus stop and waited for about as long as the total journey would take, but after overhearing the guy next to me in the queue on the phone to HWU about how he was going to miss his exam and had already been waiting for the bus for far too long. so at that point, i turned around and went back home.

i did tromp through the snow to go to tesco and get some groceries though.

so i skype video met with my supervisor. which was good. worked fine until the very end of our conversation where we got cut off. was even able to pull in a professor from the other side of the hall to join in on the discussion. it worked well. i'm glad that will continue to be a resource to use. especially if the city continues to NOT handle the snow.

and it turns out that it was a good thing i didn't go in on the bus. because although they were running when i went to go, during our meeting, adrian got word that campus was canceling exams and closing campus and that public transportation stopped. so i would have been stuck there.

but i was sad that i couldn't go to the gym.

and was also a bit disappointed that the university is relying on twitter to update about weather situations. so now i'm following the bus, transportation, university, and uni sports centre twitter feeds.
