back from hiatus

It feels good to be back in Aus once again. I moved in to a new place with bro and I've been sorting out my junks. Gawd, the amount of stuff I've got!!! I was shocked! I've only been here for 3 yrs but it looked as though I've been here for 30 yrs. Packed my old clothes away for Salvation Army, did more shopping. Who can resist shopping?

It's job hunting for me now, came by to uni the other day and hmm.. I missed student life! I'm probably gonna enrol in a postgrad course next year if I can save enough money. I'm not eligible for HECS, not that it's gonna help since uni is gonna increase HECS fees. The bill introducing VSU (Voluntary Student Unionism) legislation was being brought up to the parliament yesterday by Brendan Nelson, the pig with evil eyes. Now that VSU is being introduced, universities' student services are under serious threat. I love my uni student guild, they've been doing such an excellent job in defending student rights and fighting on what we, as a student truly deserves. 2 years ago, education was the third largest income generator to Australia's economy and being an international student back then, I was absolutely gutted. What does the future holds for students? Aren't we allow to speak for ourselves? By scrapping compulsory union fees, how can our student guilds survive?

Not happy.
