YAY
Yay.
Back to normal.
Well, even if I'm not, the real world kind of is back to normal anyway, which means that we can get on with stuff again. Yay.
Things like Union, Tabula Rasa and job hunting etc can carry on now. As a matter of fact, Tabula Rasa meets tomorrow for our first production meeting for the year. Our first deadline is the 14 of Jan (i think).
As my term as Disability Rep on the Uni union has now officially begun, I can now make a start on getting work done on that too. Yay. I've began lobbying the Fed Government alredy to increase spending on Mental Health services. They are predicting a $14bn budget surplass this financial year, but rather than using the money to the benefit of all of us, the Fed Govt are talking up vote winning Tax cuts and using the money to the benifit of themselves.
I've written to the Treasurers office, and they of course have passed the buck to the Health Minister's Office. So, I will write to them. I'll also write to the Opposition members who hold the Shadow portfolios, and to the respective State Ministers and Shadow Ministers. I'll try to get Mental Health organisations onboard, and where I can, and as much as I can, try to get some media attention on the issues of Mental Health and the funding crisis. I'll also be spending a fair bit of energy trying to de-stigmatize mental health issues, particularly Depression and Anxiety related disorders - OCD, Schizophrenia etc, and see what I can do with eating dosorders - some of the dibilitating but not obvious non physical disabilities, plus of course, looking after the needs of the physically disadvantaged.
Of course with the Liberals VSU (Voluntary Student Unionism) legislation having gone through Parliament, and the new laws coming into effect for the second sememster, it is going to be a fairly difficult year - for both the Union & Union associated activities, and also for my beloved Tabula Rasa, the union magazine I write for and edit.
So, as happy as I am that it's finally here, Oh-6 is going to be as hard as it is exciting.
But thats ok really, cos there's still plenty of coffee in the world.
I hope you had good nights for New Years. I did end up staying home and watching Cable - speaking of which.... I watched this awesome movie this morning called Willard. Anyone seen it? Its got Crispin Glover as a guy who becomes freinds with a rat. Fuckin awesome film...See it if you can. It probably sounds a bit kiddy and Stuart Little from that, but its not.
Anyhow.....
I will go now.
