Back at TAFE

I started TAFE last week

Out of Order

My computer is going into the service centre for some adjustments. I'll be back in a couple of days.

Cataloguing Dilemmas

With less than a week to go before I return to TAFE (a polytechnic equivalent), I've decided to study Michael Gorman's library cataloguing text Concise AACR2, as it feels like my brain's gone all mushy since studying last year.

In today's Newcastle Herald (the Hunter Region's leading newspaper), the lead story details preliminary expansion plans for Charlestown Square Shopping Centre, which is managed by Lend Lease Corporation.

The plans indicate the Centre expanding across to swallow up the land that occupies the existing Charlestown Bowling Club. A new modern bowling club has been foreshadowed for Ferris Oval. The plans also show the Centre getting a new cinema complex, underground carpark, and Charlestown Mall being re-opened up to vehicular traffic, with surrounding boutique restaurants and bookstores a possibility. If these architectural plans become reality, Charlestown Square will become the largest shopping centre in the Hunter Region.

For the rest of the afternoon, I'm spending time with my mother giving her a basic computer lesson in file management of her floppy disks, and then in the evening, I will be attending the movie musical group I've been faithfully going to since early 2000. The group is currently exploring early musicals from the 1930s.
