Uni

At first when I started I felt completely out of place. I felt like I was the only kid in class who cared about more than money, the only kid in class who didn’t come from an upperclass family, the only kid in class who actually had to live on the studentloans.

In class I wasn’t the brightest kid, I wasn’t the one who always had the answer when the teacher asked. I wasn’t the one people who had missed a class came to and asked if they could copy my notes. I felt invisible.

Now I know I’m not the only kid from an average middle class family. There are even some from working class families, some kids who will be the first one in their family with a college degree. Some have to work at the same time as they are studying to live.

I’m still not the smartest kid in class, but I’m starting to understand what the teacher is talking about, I’m on my way back to having the asnwer to all her questions in class. One step at the time I know I can do this. I can make friends and get the grades I need to do what I want.

I’m still not completely sure that I’m not the only one not in it for the money though…

Sexual Assault Policy Database

I got an e-mail asking for me to help spread the word about a new project over at SAFER:

The database archives sexual assault policies from colleges and universities across the nation. We hope that providing examples of effective policies will assist student activists in reforming their own school’s sexual assault policy. The database also allows students to comment on whether or not their school actually implements the policies as they have been written.

On October 6, 2008, we will be distributing the release to hundreds of campus newspapers throughout the country. We’re reaching out to student activists this week, asking them to comment on the policy at their school if it is in the database already, or submit their school’s policy for inclusion if it is not.

I think SAFER does a great job and was glad to help them get the word out (though I don’t really think I’ll help a lot :P)

*sob*

Seasons one though three were so much better than season four…. I hope it shapes up! (I’ve only seen four eposodes)

Babysitting

I was babysitting a friend of my aunt’s kids today. They are four and one year old. I took them to a park and started talking to one dad who was there with his daughter.

“How old is your kid?” he asked me.

“Uhm, she’s not mine,” I said. “Had she been mine I would’ve been a mum at fifteen.”

A bit later someone asked if they were my kids.

What I Do In Lectures

Doodle! Guess how many of the tops I’ve sketched I actually own^^ (Click for full size)

Sheets

Boyfriend in a bath, me scrubbing the sheets.

“Sometimes I hate being a girl” I said. “Imagine if the sex hadn’t even been good and I had to do this!”

Kids?

A friend of mine just found out he’s gonna be a dad. He’s exactly a week older than me and the mum-to-be is turning sixteen soon. And this seems to be the norm with the people I know… Will I be wierd for not having kids before uni soon or what?

Linda has a one year old son and she’s two years older than me, Nadia has two sons, the oldest turned four about two weeks ago, another friend just had a miscarrige (she had a scheduled aborting though…) Sometimes I’m really happy about my roomie. She’s 43 and doesn’t have kids^^

*Hugs*

I spent part of the weekend with Tony. He wasn’t very happy and didn’t want to be alone. So I went over. We talked about pretty much everything but the stuff that was bothering him. And for the first time since we met we managed to watch a whole movie! Usually we’llb e interrupted by something. One time I had to leave cos I had plans with boyfriend. Once his girlfriend called and was crying. Once we just talked and forgot to watch the movie.

Pain

We almost broke up…

There is more!

I found the four first episodes in season four :D

It’s Over!

I’ve watched every single Kim Possible episode that I’d downloaded! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

“What About Her?”

Yesterday I was out clubbing and I happened to overhear a woman tell two of her friends that she was going to be a mum. She was positively glowing with happiness.

Later a guy asked me if I knew her name cos he thought she was hot. I told him that yes I might know her name, but that she was pregnant, and happily so.

“What about her then?” He asked and pointed at Linda. “She isn’t pregnant is she?”

“Nope, she is a mum and the father of her child is over there” I told him and pointed at Linda’s boyfriend.

“Oh…” the guy said. Then he saw Daisy. “What about her then?”

“You definitely won’t have a chance with her,” I told him.

“I’m not really out to looking to get laid,” he told me. “I’ve noticed that when you don’t chace the girls they come to you, so that’ll be my strategy.”

I nearly fell over laughing at the very desperate guy in front of me.

I was supposed to stay sober

I was supposed to stay sober cos I recently got pierced!! I’m sooo not sober right now! The only reason this is even remotely readable is because of liberal use of the back space key….

Song

I’m still in love with this song:
