- Awwww. I am very defensive of my city, so this warmed my heart. I am hoping to go to Sydney or Brisbane for medicine, but not out of any particular dislike for Canberra - it's just time for a change.
- This article in today's paper is great - one of those things that just makes you glad that there are people around who share your political views and will articulate them nicely so you don't have to. The Bill Clinton impeachment saga showed there comes a time in the affairs of political leaders when the voters become stubborn, dig in their heels, refuse to listen to any more scandalous stories, and punish the muckrakers instead. SERIOUSLY. GUYS. DROP THE HONESTY ISSUE. YOU LOOK LIKE IDIOTS. Not that I care overmuch if the Coalition looks like idiots, seeing as it'll decrease their chances of getting re-elected even further, but sometimes you just want to shake people, you know?
- ...it was murder? Jesus. This seems like the kind of thing thriller novels are made out of. (Guess what, Americans? Some parts of the world take cricket pretty. damn. seriously.)
And now, I return to GAMSAT study. It's tomorrow. At 8:15 in the morning, which my mother assures me is a perfectly valid time to be awake and functioning for a doctor. Clearly they are weeding out the weaklings through enforced early-morning examinations. Bleugh. (Altogether, it's five and a half hours of exams. With short breaks. CRUEL AND UNUSUAL, I TELL YOU.)

Must show it to everyone here who wrinkles their nose at me when I tell them that I lived most of my life in Canberra and actually like it there. Snobby Melbournites (although to be fair, the culture difference between Canberra and Melbourne is MUCH greater than between, say, Canberra and Sydney - there's not nearly as much "alternative" culture in Canberra, for starters...).

Nice to read those articles especially the Canberra one.
