Tired but inspired

Today I am extremely tired. Last night I went out, didn't drink much but didn't get to bed until 1am this morning. Up at 6 so I was lucky if I got 4 and a half hours sleep. Ugh. I'm on my third coffee and I think there will be a few more before the end of today.

Tonight I am going to Sussex to see Shihad. Completely spontaineous.. Cara called me up yesterday and asked if I wanted to go. It's $15 and I'm down to my last $25. So after the train ticket and concert ticket I will be able to afford one beer. Yay but oh well.

My uni information came in yesterday. I will be applying for the University Access Program soon. That starts in June so I have a while to go before then but finally I have something to aim for! Very excited. I have been reading a fantastic website that I think anyone interested in global issues such as poverty, politics, corporate globalisation etc. should have a look at. It is called (funnily enough) www.globalissues.org - extremely informative and well written.


Something I wrote on the train to work this morning after reading some things on the metioned website..

It is a profound shock to learn that you belong to a nation that is partly responsible for many of the world's problems, such as poverty and hunger. However, with this in mind, it is a wonderful discovery to understand that that also means you belong to a nation that has the power to solve the problems it creates.
