found a scholarship for the degree i want to do! a full, heaps-o-money scholarship. downside. not at the uni i enrolled in. in the uni i really didn't want to go to. but, hotdamn, its free. so, now i have to pay the late fee and enrol there in order to be able to GO to the university if i actually get the scholarship, which the lovely lady behind the counter who i spoke to emplied was a distinct likelyhood because no one applies. yay for no one reading the bottom of the QUT virtual page. i'd really rather study part time through curtin, but, well, if someone is going to give me a $20 000 degree, who am i to say no?

had a Tea Party on friday, with carly, her housemates, and some other lovely people. it was like we were all drunk, but we were sober, just high on sugar and laughing at balderdash. it was the best party i have been to in ages.

lachlan made the most amazing pasta with mushrooms last night.
in fact, it was a wonderful day. came home from work, had cheese and bickies and wine and cake with lachlan and emily, watched more crappy tv, had naps and snuggles.... and then woke up to a beautiful dinner. it couldn't be more perfect.

i got a haircut, which i feel a little insecure about. actually, quite insecure about. its a. very short and b. cut out most of the colour, so for the first time since i was 14, it's the natural ash blonde. i think i am going to tolerate it. and, god, the hairdresser filled it up with goop. i hate goop. which i am sweating out when walking from one end of the city to the other to fill out forms, get forms, et al, et al. such is what happens when you forget to check for scholarships before the day before it closes. god, i love women's equity scholarships. they make me happy in my heart.

the airconditioning in the state library is dreamy.

i now am begining life without a credit card, after mother paid mine off; this was very good, but also very bad because i can't access a cent until the end of the week or the beginning of next week because i have no plastic to get it out, and don't want to pay bank fees. erghtttt.

had an amazingly constructive day in therapy. i am learning to Not Blame Myself For Everything, and that Everything Is Not My Fault. which is good. i just have to let myself feel things rather than block them out. i need to feel mad and sad and stuff. poopies.

I hope you get the scholarship! That's a lot of money, and I know you could use it.
Every summer, I want to get the traditional Lesbian Feminist Haircut, the 2mm-1cm of stubble every single lesbian feminist on our campus wore when I was an undergrad. Besides expressing my general sympathies, it would be heavenly in the heat. But unfortunately, I don't have the kind of face that looks good with that kind of hair. Which is too bad, because it's such a great cut and would look so good in all kinds of colors!
Everything is not your fault. That's so true. Sometimes, we do our very best, and things still don't work out. And it's OK.
Feelings are good. Feelings mean you are human and not a psycho.
I hope you get the scholarship. Better than not owing a fortune after graduation.
