Archive for the ‘Insects’ Category

This evening the midgee population of south east Queensland along with the flying ant society were in my kitchen hanging around the light and the kitchen table.  The little buggers were everywhere.  Had to turn off all the lights, close the windows and leave the room to get rid of em, and even with the windows shut the little buggers are still getting I somehow.  Did I mention how much I hate insects!!  The mosquito’s are out in force too.  Have been for a few days now.

Cleaned the oven today, somehow a balloon got stuck the the base of the oven tray and you could imagine our surprise when we opened the oven up, after smelling something burning to find a pile of purple goo on the bottom of the oven.  Good old turpentine got it off and then I used harsh oven cleaner to make sure the turps was gone.

I received an email yesterday from QUT advising me that I cannot do the dance subject I was hoping to do via cross-institutional study as it is not offered as an elective subject.  Now this blows my whole 6 month plan out of whack.  Now I need to think of what else I can do.  I also should book in to see someone at centrelink to be sure the whole ‘you can’t study after July’ thing still applies to me.  It was such a kick in the teeth reading that email.  Any time I try to do something I really want to do, there is something that stands in my way that I can’t argue my way out of.  People say to me that I should fight but as its bureaucracy that holds me back or money, in 99.99% of cases I can’t change it just for me.  So yesterday was my wallow in self pity day.  In fact today is a little too.

I don’t know weather I want to try to get in and do cross-institutional study doing German @ QUT or weather I should attempt to find something at Griffith or what.  *sighs*  I love life’s mountains but sometimes these mountains are steep.
