I am slack
I can't believe I've waited so long between posts. And so much has happened! I am writing this post not from my PC, but from my shiny gorgeous new toy - a laptop! A very pretty, ultra-cool laptop, to be exact. I've had it for a week now, and the novelty isn't wearing off yet. It's fabulous. Not only that, but when I actually manage to get a good backpack to carry it in, I will undergo another whole wave of novelty, being able to carry my computer around with me. Oh, the joy!
In other news, it is now STUVAC, which essentially means that I should be studying but amn't really. Have no fear, though, it's my way. I'm sure my brain knows what it's doing. A week and a bit until your first exam, brain!
I saw some of question time during lunch today. I tell you, it's no wonder the country is such a mess. Instead of taking the opportunity to actually lay out policy and clear up misunderstandings, the senators use their reply time to insult their questioner, and avoid the issue completely. It's a shambles. Of course, going from my experience of Yes Minister, all this capering about in the Senate, and the similar antics in the Lower House, are really just a way of giving the pollies something to do while the public servants get on with running the country. Makes them feel important, you know.

Ahh, Yes Minister. Hasten the day the programmers at Our ABC, in their wisdom, give us repeats of this fine program. I would say satire, but from what I hear it was actually a documentary...
Perhaps it was amongst the many programs Alston considered biased? Though he needn't have worried, our Labourites seem almost as bad.
Ooh, aren't I tired and cynical?! I'm sure I'll be in a better mood after Winter Magic in the Mountains this weekend. What a great way of avoiding study. And next Thursday, the end of exams! (For me.) Hooray!
Sorry, already read it! Horrors I say - but then I'm used to it by now. And to think that I used to fill hundreds of pages with mind-numbing formulae and equations and how many antennae a microsopic mitrochondira had.... (think I've forgotten it all now). Oh well, we are all different - in fact the generations seem to see-saw in extreme reaction to each other. Never mind, I trust your brain more than I trusted mine. The o.m.
WTF?
