Activisism, counting down, and not a lot else to say
I wish I had deep and meaningful things to say right now, but I don’t. I am in a bit of lull before the storm, when I am back at uni but only 1 day a week instead of the previous 5, and while still working on some subjects in my own time, for the most I’m not doing a lot of work. Heck, I’ve only got 3 subjects this semester anyway, and one of them is dominated by my practicum in 16 days. I am doing a lot of dyeing, knitting and so forth, and doing things with Birth Matters and the Home Birth Network. Ooer subversive first year student that I am! I have just 2 exams this semester so I count myself very lucky. They are on 16/05 and 19/05 and then I get 5 and a bit weeks holidays.
Eep - placement is not very long away at all! I have moved my placement back to an Adelaide hospital, and I have a nice pattern of shifts (late, early, early, early, late) and the weekends off. A fairly easy ease into the whole process I think. I may not be saying that when I get there though!
In other news, I have joined the ultimate political party recently formed in Australia. What Women Want (Australia) aims to be Australia’s only female political party dedicated to advancing issues affecting Australian women. What Women Want (Australia) will dedicate its work to giving women more of a say in the direction of our country and the important policies that shape it. The work of What Women Want (Australia) will not exclude men, as we know that they play an important role in many women’s lives.
What Women Want (Australia) simply wants to promote greater participation from women of all ages. We believe that everyone in our society will benefit from that, particularly children and men with families.
