just feathers [nicola]

Right now I’m trying to stuff 3 strawberry flavoured cream wafer biscuits into my mouth at the same time. It is quite hard. *waits about 10 seconds* But do-able.

Not that you really needed to know that.

This week there was voting taking place for the student union. With all the elections and everything its got me musing a little about politics. I don’t know much about politics. Actually. I don’t know anything about politics. Not that its not interesting or anything, I think. So our Kevin is labour… right? or wrong.. or left or.. argh. Was quite excited to be able to vote when I turned 18. But as it turned out, I was somewhere in Taiwan (no internet), and didn’t even realise that voting had taken place, let alone getting a new PM. Only when our leader (who happened to be Samoan) very excitedly told me that ‘I can’t believe Australia’s PM can speak Chinese!’ did it occur to me that a). We have a new PM and b). Probably wasn’t John Howard.

In order to perhaps bolster a little political cred there is this public lecture happening next Thurs about Obama vs McCain – who will win, and does it matter? (i think thats what the title is) should be good. Praying that the Americans will choose wisely.

After a week of being ‘bumped into’/followed by those running for current student elections – the whole process did seem quite fascinating. Maybe next year, eh? How many people actually voted? I had all good intentions of voting after class today, and then; opps – finishes at 2:30pm?!

Onto general things – one more week of uni until hols. I’ve a psych essay worth 40% due on tues. 2000 words. Have I started? yes! 1800 words to go… (and counting!) so if ya’ll know anything about conformity – would love to hear your opinions :p and Science ball on Wed! whoot. Theme is ‘carnivale’ so.. costumes basically go; venitian carnival – mask, gloves, Marie Antoinette hair or brazillian carnival – bikini + feathers. or just feathers. or body paint. ew. Bit confused as to what kind of carnival they’re after. Whatever.

ciao! (note to self: don’t eat so many wafer biscuits at once)
