Things on my mind at the moment:
The fact that my uni is looking at introducing a 3 semester year, with each semester being 6 weeks long. How to accomplish this? Why, instead of one lecture and tutorial each week, you’d have TWO. I ask how, how the fuck do they even think this is feasible? Most students are working to be able to afford to go to uni, and even the lecturers themselves will tell you that many students miss classes because of a clash with their work! If it’s currently a problem, how much of a bigger problem will it become if this change is integrated? WHY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CAN’T THOSE IN CHARGE OF OUR FUTURES THINK WITH THEIR BRAINS INSTEAD OF THEIR WALLETS? And all this BULLSHIT that both the Liberal and Labour camps are currently spinning about caring about education in this country infuriates me every time I see an ad - if they really cared, then it would not have gotten to the point it is at now, with over half of tertiary students in the country living below the poverty line and with something ridiculous like 1/3 of students will not have been able to pay their HECS/HELP fees by the time they reach the age of 50. What infuriates me even more is that nearly all the major players in politics are people who received their education for free.
It isn’t till you’re broke that you realize just how expensive things are, and you wish that you’d saved more money when you were earning it.
I need someone who will give me board for a year in exchange for me cooking every one of their meals for them. This is the ONLY way I will ever possibly make even half the recipes I want to cook.
Once I finish my study for the semester, I am going to drink myself into a catatonic state and sleep for a week
Where exactly does a broke student go for a holiday when she needs to get away from it all?

My girl, hope you have sometimes to de-stress soon. I just went through some of the frustration last week and at times it blew my mind. Take care dear.
