			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My first day at TAFE began at 9:00 and ended at 5:30 &#8211; but only consisted of about 20 minutes of classes! The Physics &amp; Maths lecturer was away.</p>
<p>In Materials we learned that atoms have a nucleus, and that matter has three states: solid, liquid and gas. Yep kids, this is Year 7 science! I expect we&#8217;ll be learning how mass relates to weight in Physics, and marvelling at Pythagoras&#8217; theorem in Maths *yawn* I really hope it ramps up quickly because I want a challenge!</p>
<p>I have classes 9:00am &#8211; 5:30pm Monday, 8:30am &#8211; 6:30pm Wednesday and 8:30am &#8211; 5:30pm Friday. I&#8217;ll be working full days on Tuesday and Thursday.</p>
<p>I said hi to a few people but didn&#8217;t say much else. Still, that&#8217;s a huge difference to how I started all the other courses: a few weeks of monastic silence and ninja-like classroom escapes.</p>
<p>In my first RMIT course, Geomatics (a.k.a. fancy surveying or maths+maps), I missed the first week&#8230; and now that I&#8217;m back and ready to give it all I&#8217;ve got, classes don&#8217;t run. Is that irony? I dunno, but it&#8217;s annoying.</p>
<p>My new TV arrives tomorrow morning, after some delivery issues.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know what I&#8217;m doing with this blog. I already have a dead-tree journal&#8230; which tends to last longer than digital stuff&#8230; Hmm&#8230;&#8230;.</p>
