arggh! Going cheap, one life rollup rollup
If only!
I haven't been around for forever because I am holding things together right now by the skin of my teeth. Between this wedding- and accompanying dickhead feuding relations- uni, my job, board elections and the shitty, shitty student-hating Howard government I haven't had a decent nights sleep in weeks. I don't even WANT to go overseas anymore (someone slap me) because there is too much going on here. Theo is HATING the fact that I am so busy and is acting out like never before. I feel so sorry for him and he is driving me NUTS.
This is a sample day from the last fortnight (it's yesterday)
Wake up. Drag a screaming child to playgroup. Say goodbye to screaming child. Go into the office. Answer hate mail. Fend off nasty phone calls to the new student president, regarding the old president.Go to class.Fall asleep in class. Get yelled at by irate lecturer. Go to the office. Attempt to relocate student protest (against the student union because new legislation means their beer has gone up thirty cents. NOW WE GET ACTIVISM! YOU CAN TAKE AWAY OUR RIGHT TO LEARN, BUT NOT THE BEER!) because the protest is blocking the footpath to the cafeteria. Get screamed at and threatened by said protesters for infringing on their right to free speech.Have a meeting with the student publication board about the next issue of student magazine and attempt to discuss article relating to changing attitudes to pregnancy. Get screamed at by a christian fundamentalist student who overhears me and decides I am a babykiller. Get called a bad mother and a disgrace to the student board by said happy camper. Go and cry in the office. Go to class. Pick up screaming child from playgroup. Go home. Make dinner. Answer further hate mail. Go to bed. Get up. Repeat.
Sorry guys! I know I am being melodramatic, I WILL pull this altogether- the campus is just such a negative place to be right now. Legislation is coming in that we TRIED to get students to campaign against, and they couldn't be arsed. So when it happens, who do they get the shits with? US?! But I feel a bit better now. I've had my vent. I have to go do homework. Send me chicken soup vibes, and I'm sorry for being such a wet blanket.
