Look out

I’m really not sure why I was regarding mid-semester break as a holiday last week, and in the many weeks preceding. I was in that mindset until Tuesday, three days ago, when I realised that I actually DO actually have 4400 words to write by the 30th, and a presentation to prepare for, and my research had barely been touched, nor had my preparation begun—was a really fun realisation, that one! Now, I have one weekend to finish reading and cram in 2000 words and probs not start my presentation and maybe, just maybe, learn to actually do things rather than passively stressing and picking at my skin and crying inside (but maybe outside, too). Another source of my tears are the policies emerging from the current Commonwealth Government—the Higher Education Support Amendment is NOT IT. Absolutely disgusting.

Uni aside, I saved my dog’s life today (Hall-of-Fame me, pls)!  There are these two eagles that have been circling my house in recent months and I’ve been super suspicious, and have been body-guarding my dog whenever she’s outside because I’m afraid that she’s going to become their next meal (context: she’s white and fluffy and very lamb-like). ANYWAY, my suspicions were not unfounded because today I could see a bird peripherally flying overhead and my subconscious mind just MUST have known that it was an eagle because I scooped my dog up, took her inside, and then the eagle genuinely flew back into the direction that it came from and that, is the story of my heroism, a certain heroism that both deprived an eagle and its babies of a meal and ensured that my family is still of four, not three.

 

Look after yourselves, your friends/fam and your DOGS!! DOn’t let the eagles encroach upon your domestic environments!!!
