And I actually have time now! Though I don’t have much to say. Weird how that happens, whenever there are looming exams there are always a hundred non-exam related things to do, but otherwise life is almost boring.
Year 12 grad was... well, I can’t say enjoyable (these things rarely are), but I’m really glad I went. It was weird to realise that they’re finally leaving, that we’re now the oldest grade in the school, that it’ll be our turn next year. I dunno about time flying, but I do think there seems to be less of it when you’re looking into the past compared to the future. Wending our way through the crowd and awkwardly hugging/farewelling people was even weirder, kind of like “awww I’ll miss you make sure you keep in touch good luck for year 12”, empty comments which were all basically saying the same thing repeatedly, i.e. “omfg, this can’t possibly be happening already, not yet”.
How do the teachers live with it, I wonder? Having their heartstrings screwed around with every year? Maybe they develop an immunity to attachment or something, that’d probably be the wisest course of action I suppose.
Also, a semi-public congrats congrats congrats to Eda, for winning the SMH Writing Competition! With the duck story, as hilariously and perhaps inaptly coined by Sneha. You will tank Eng Ext 2, Eda!
Also omfg. Omfg aahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaghaaaaaalbsdlhflkahs Tony Abbott you should grow the f**k up and stop screwing over the parliament, the government, your own reasonable party members and the people of Australia. Seriously. Get over yourself. And stop calling bloody everything unconstitutional... you’re starting to sound like the Tea Party. (Yeah, that was meant to be an insult not a compliment).
Would an informal agreement about the pairing of the speaker have been ‘unconstitutional’ if the Coalition was in government and had a 2-seat majority? Huh? Like, not only have you attempted to release a statement in Alex Somlyay’s name contradicting his views and wishes, but you’ve accused Labor of forcing him to renege on the deal. Cos Joe Hockey certainly supported that assertion the other night with his declamatory remarks about how outraging the agreement was. You. Make. Me. Sick.
OK, must stop now.
