just once I would like to go the whole 30 days without running out of credit gdi

i just legitimately said "there's always pathways" to my mum what the fuck has this year done to me

i have a friend who lives in Minnesota and she was telling me how over there everyone buys Reese's (or was it Hershey's idek) and barely anyone buys Cadbury except for unpleasant candy easter eggs

and i showed her a block of Dairy Milk and she was like 'THEY MAKE THAT??'

jelly is a strange, strange substance

does anyone else remember learning about colloids in year 7 and then they never came up again

cinnamonnnnnnnnnn

im currently making snickerdoodles and they're turning out to be more like sugar cookies but i am 200% ok with that

things to look forward to in uni

- new people
- learning cool stuff
- varied schedule
- free wifi
- FREE WIFI
- FREE WIFI

i think i want a tattoo but hey i have over a year to think about it

what is nicer than a cool breeze on a warm day

slightly alarmed by the sudden spike in hits to my blog omfg

dang it took me this long to realise my timezone was on PST time

sometimes i do stupid things just because people tell me not to

that being said, do not drink plain vanilla extract

don't do it

well that rant really came out of left field huh. not an attack on christianity, just on privileged peeps who try and play the victim. why do i feel the need to justify myself on my own blog. le sigh

hope y'all are having a great break anyway! :)

irritation sparked by an article in the leader i just read

people complaining about the flags being 'season's greetings' and not 'merry christmas' and the monash council subsequently voting to change it back to 'merry christmas' and spending $58,000 on new flags

like

why

it just seems like such a trivial thing to waste your energy arguing over

you get nationally recognised public holidays for all your major celebrations why are you complaining about banners (and the fact that there are banners at all is still in recognition of Christmas anyway???)

it's like you need extra things to complain about and prove that the minority are really oppressing you

and you can't recognise that it's really your influence that IS everywhere and is the norm

would like to point out that australia is not a christian country (and the percentage of australians identifying as christian is dropping every year) and we actually have a section written into the constitution to protect freedom of (and from) religion

i am extremely skeptical of people who complain about political correctness because it really doesn't take that much effort to not be a raging offensive shitbag

i've been making a concerted effort to do things that are unpleasant or make me uncomfortable instead of pushing them aside for later because then it'll just be in the back of my mind making me glum until i do it. plus they're really not that big a deal once i just do them, like speaking to Centrelink workers, not that awful

the fact that i missed out on a scholarship by 2 ATAR points is just sinking in and its really painful and i dont know how im going to pay for any of my books

spent most of yesterday wandering around wheelers hill with michelle and abi, good day C:

snacking in no way induced by attending presentation night

(except it totally is)

snacks on rice pops (the woolworths home brand version of rice bubbles) alone in room at 11pm

eats ice cream alone in room at 11pm

warning: scores ahead

sighhhhhs my GAT results
22, 45, 41

YELLS LOUDLY

WHY WERE MY GAT RESULTS SO MUCH BETTER AHHHHHH

I SURVIVED

so if not exactly excited about my results I'm at least alright with them, the subject scores were lower than expected but the ATAR is around the right place

ok going back to sleep

10 DAYS TILL DOOM

I'm not freaking out about results because I forcibly repress all thoughts of them.

also I finished NaNoWriMo hooray! 4 year streak I am pretty dang happy with that (esp since I missed out on 10 days because exams)

50,334 words, just look at my graph guys

is that a ridiculous graph or what

the amount of writing I've done this work holy shit

and yes I did start writing like the day of my first methods exam instead of studying for exam 2

can you tell my priorities are in order

*reaches through screen*

*virtually pinch punches you*

first day of the month
