its probably a good thing that voting in mandatory. I already put 10x more effort into putting the stupid slip in the envelope than I would normally be prepared to do. Ended up giving up and holding it to stuff it in. Am I allowed? Dont care. Jobs done. and frankly given I did some research and didn't just draw a dick I'm prepared to bet I put in more effort than some folks will.

Just did mine.

First time I haven't voted green

made sure all the fascists were last so that meant plain idiots and single issue candidates were higher up

I just folded mine. Then watched the other half try to gently fit his in the envelope with his giant man hands while laughing quietly.

My partner and I did ours over the weekend. 5 candidates, and one of them needed an editor for their blurb honestly. Completely nonsensical. Put them 5 haha.

Also we just folded ours haha

One of ours had a blurb that was just one entire sentence, no punctuation. Get someone to proofread, people!

I'm debating whether or not I should take a gap year before starting the teaching course.

This is on the basis that I find a casual job with full time hours. I really wanted to do teaching but everyone around me is saying I shouldn't do it because of behaviour management, taking work home, and that I'm too much of a stresshead. I also have unmanaged ADHD, constantly submitting things late. When I'm a "bad student", I feel like I'll be a bad teacher.

I think I'll try the teaching course and then apply for OT if it doesn't fit.

I would say take a gap year if you're feeling a bit lost/overwhelmed because god knows it becomes much harder to do as you get older. And some of the people you meet/experiences you have may turn out to be pivotal to the rest of your life, even if you end up going in a different direction.

Teaching is really something you have to love to do.

Youโ€™ll often feel unappreciated and have to put in a lot of hours for meetings and after work meetings.

Thereโ€™s also communications with parents as well and they arenโ€™t always a nice thing to deal with.

Depending on where you work you may have to deal with dual curriculums and youโ€™ll have even less time to teach.

Then thereโ€™s the dreaded report writing.

I think pay may have gotten better and itโ€™s certainly an area where jobs are in demands at the moment.

Never watched the Sopranos until now. Great show, but as someone who grew up with Italian grandparents, calling pasta sauce 'gravy' makes my eye twitch.

If I ever see an old vinyl from the soviet bloc I am sure to snap it up.

Today I was not disappointed. I got a 1968 Supraphon recording of Beethoven 1st and 8th symphonies from Czechoslovakia.

omg, it is awesome https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19jqWhCv2o4

Assignment due today that I haven't made much progress on. Two more next week with extensions, but I want to get them done end of this week so I have time to study for exams. The extensions cut into the exam study period.

Praying I can get everything done in time. I'm not going to let anything stop me today.
