You know what is frustrating? The fact the Catholic Church is about (in my eyes..) acceptance, no matter who you are and also what you believe and love. So, why does the church not accept people that call themselves 'gay' or 'lesbian'! Seriously, i know why i really don't like to go to church as much anymore. Maybe, because i am not in love with a parishioner and the major reason is because i can't stand how hypocritical the church is being, especially about gay marriage. Ah!
This dinner dance is really going to be fascinating, must keep mouth zipped. ZIPPED!
However, being a soon to be health professional i really need to be an accepting person as a result, however, that really isn't too much of a problem seeing as i am not around the church crowd as much anymore.
You know what is frightening? The fact, if i make my opinion known (for gay marriage) i will most likely be shunned by the Church that made me feel so welcome in the beginning. Gah, i hope i have the strength to make the right decision (Doc. Who). Strength be upon you all! :)

Bullying just sucks!
Everytime i get a spare moment from uni work i watch, 'when nobody listens' which was on Sunday Night, a while ago now. Yet it still means more and more to me every time i watch it! There is a reason, that being, i wish to do something. However, i am not entirely sure what i can do now i have passed that age where i can do something. But, i was thinking i can be a 'model citizen' when i eventually become a professional, and put my no-bullying motto into practice when i work.
What to do now though? Well, at uni i can just treat everyone the way i would wish to be treated. Not only would i feel better within myself but make others feel better too!
Sadly, I always watch the suicidal videos and believe that if i was involved perhaps this terrible event wouldn't have happened. If i am honest, i do not believe i would have made any difference because in Miss Penpraze's case it was a deep, deep psychological problem that needed to be addressed. Even though it was in some ways being 'addressed', she was too far effected by this bullying in many forms - Cyber, in person - just to name a few. Really, i have many theories of what 'could of' helped yet at this point in time, i to be honest would not know what to say or do to change a young persons mind, when they have already attempted to kill themselves numerous times before.
All i can say is R.I.P all those who have killed themselves, you didn't deserve to feel so low you believed death was the only way out. I'm sorry :(

I feel my license is slipping away.
It is sad, because just as i get my confidence, somewhat up. BAM i screw up and the driving instructor has the save my ass from going into the car in front. SERIOUSLY! I thought i was better than that! Also, i stalled, what felt like a dozen times. GRRR However, what i have learnt is to: Not speed, give way at round-a-bouts, maintain a 3 second rule, know my road rules, not speed, not speed, not speed. Yeah the sad fact of the matter is once i get one thing down, BAM i have another dozen things to memorize and learn perfectly.
Some days are much better than others.
The relay for life was on this weekend!
I have to admit i was afraid of being too excited for the relay, because the last time i was way too excited for something was going on the pilgrimage to Spain and then spot came on the scene and those plans fell through. I have the unfortunate realization that this may mean i have unresolved psychological issues, but the fact the relay did happen, is aiding the healing.
Just to change the subject entirely, today i got a letter. Yes, a letter! It was the letter i have longed for, however, it needed to say what i wanted to read. Guess what? It said i have been accepted into the course which means (if i pass) i can do the compulsory psychology elective at uow instead of having to repeat the same subject at unsw. That really was the cake, and the icing will be passing the subject!
