Signing up for uni

Got my student card and signed up for an account at the central Computing Service (got a very unaesthetic username but I won't use it much anyway). Back at King's, also signed up for an IP address for my room, and I asked the network guy who long it will take. He said he ran out of IP addresses, but he'll look into it in the afternoon (alas, this obviously didn't happen). Food at college seemed good and cheap. After lunch, I went to the bank to change my address and pay in some money, and then went to the Centre for Technology Management (where I'm doing my PhD) to talk to my supervisor and sort things out. As it turns out, they don't even provide me with a dedicated PC. It's not really a problem since I have my laptop, but I think this is really lame. Every PhD student should get their own PC. Anyway, I have to go to the main Engineering site tomorrow to get an access site and an IP address.
