On my mind: What a bizarre day!!

Today was my last day of the Certificate II Animal Studies course. I'm still unsure as to whether I'm continuing next with studies next semester, or delaying that until later. It largely depends on whether I'm accepted into the course without work in the industry. It's a bit of a lose-lose situation: It's hard to do the course work without a job, yet it's harder to get a job if you're not currently studying! So I figured I'd apply for part time and if I get in I'll try to do it with work experience while looking for a job in a clinic, and if I don't, I'll look for work and see how much other experience I can get in the next 6 months!! Either way, I'm sure I'll have plenty to do. The thing is, the college admin have proved themselves completely incompetent this week, first by sending everyone who applied the wrong letter, then by telling us we'd get another one early this week (err...we haven't yet and it's Thursday!) and today by sending me a transcript that doesn't even make sense or mention the subjects I've done. *Sigh.*
On another note, our afternoon classes were canceled today. The teacher we were meant to meet who would have been teaching Vet Nursing next semester had a heart attack in the library and passed away this morning. All the staff were pretty much in shock, understandably. I didn't know him but I just keep thinking about his poor family, and I pray that he's in a better place now. It's horrible but gives perspective; even if I don't know what I'm doing with my life, I still have it. I still got to come home today to my family and my babies. We should always be thankful for that, it can be taken away so quickly and randomly.

Also; Australia has its first female Prime Minister? It's so random, we didn't even have an election. I'm not sure how I feel about the whole "we vote for parties, not individuals" thing...because now he have a leader that the people of our country did not choose. But hey, apparently we're having an election soon anyway. I'm clueless about politics so I can't really say whether I support what she stands for or not. I do propose that we paint Australia pink and create a law that toilet seats must stay down, though. :P It's funny, I was saying to Dad it's kind of cool from a feminist point of view, proof that a woman can and should be allowed to do anything a man can.. but my next question was why doesn't she have a husband and kids? I guess I'm one of those who'd be quite happy to spend my life popping out kids and cooking.. doesn't make me much of a feminist, does it LOL? Ahh whatever.
