How Was Your Day? High Five

[di marco]

I'm having a rubbish time lately. I really just want to leave school and start all over again. Everything I seem to work for just goes down the pan. I can;t get on top of anything and everythings just getting to me now. Uni now seems like a waste of time because over the past few weeks I've had a complete change of career path so I'm all jumbled up on what to even do. Ugh and I have work later which I'm just not in the mood for at all.

sorry to hear that, im sure itll get better soon. what have you decided to do now instead? could you go through clearing for it?

[Kirsty :]]

Highly doubt it. I've completely changed from teaching... to therapy, like speech therapy. I don't know how I got there... I just did but my options just don't accomdate for it at all. I'm so messed up. I want to leave school and just start all over again.

I've had a better day than yesterday
Didn't have school as my teacher was off so I've just been dancing tongiht and went to a pub quiz afterwards (we lost miserabley, 13/50.. but the questions were silly , we didn't come last last though lol)

Ughh I so can't wait for the weekend

Rubbish day today.. well the college bit.. went on a trip... to where I work actaully lmao. But it's a rubbish place.. lol.. and they are rubbish... They treated it like a recruitment day lol.. loads of powerpoints and talking really lol.

But then met up with my other girls, from college,, but they never went today.. and went to the beach.. whic was the good bit .

My mate who was in hospital... so worried about her stil She saying she's still feeling really ill... and I'm on cam with her and she looks awful.. and she was saying the docs stil don't kow what wrong with her.. could still be bleed on brain or meningitis!! Her birthday next week.. and she said she not gona be ok to go out. So I'm gonna see other mates, see if we can't go round heres. She can't even get out of bed, can't move, because of her lumber puncture Bless her . So upset for her

Had a pretty good day today. The election is going to be a landslide, most likely in the opposition's favour We need ~ 651 votes to win. It is achievable, we have the whole international block voting for us, but after everything that's gone on this week... I don't think we'll win. Some students are facing disciplinary action and probably expulsion from the university for inciting racial hatred. Our president candidate has even been called a 7/7 bomber and a terrorist because of his religion.

We've sent a letter of complaint and concern to all the major unions, NUS, local, regional, national news, anti-fascist, anti-racist, pro black, Hate Racism groups etc. NUS annual conference next week too so it'll be brought up there as well. If the university won't listen to us then we have no option but to go public.

We've got a few things up our sleeve if things don't go the way we hope tomorrow.

I'm really pleased this is all over. We're all exhausted and fed up of fighting the smear campaign. The elections shouldn't be about spreading malicious rumours that we're going to have Sharia law, the union bars and clubs are going to be closed, racists videos and comments posted on the internet etc.

Had a really nice meal with a few people this evening Home next Thursday

Should your mate be out of hospital if she is still so very ill? Surely if the doctors suspect bleeding on the brain or meningitis, she should have stayed in hospital until they are sure about her illness? Hope she is going to be ok soon.

Is this kind of thing happening at other unis too? Sounds like you had a real stressful time. Good luck with the election

[Abigail]

No, it's not. We've had students from Goldsmiths campaigning with us this week, who are also part of the SWP. They said they have never known so much racism take place and the union not step in.

The university have stopped the count this morning pending an investigation. I just hope they don't pull the elections because it's over for us. Our president candidate won't stand again at this university.

Amazing what public pressure from trade unions can do

[Abigail]

The university are refusing to count the vote until the investigation has been concluded, which could take weeks. As it's the weekend and NUS conference next week we won't know the results for at least 10 days.

We considered occupying the union to force them to count but as it's the weekend, it would have little effect on them. It's all set up to go though, toilets, showers, kitchen, sofas, tv, internet. Couldn't find a better place to occupy

This week has been such a blur, I feel rather lonely sat in my room alone. I've been around so many people in the campaign house until the early hours every day doing things and now I don't know what to do with myself.

today was pretty boring. had to be up early to go to london to visit some theatres. my lecturer told us to buy travelcards cos we would be going on the tube then he made us walk to all of them so i wasted £6! then had cheerleading which was stressful cos this girl has decided to quit uni so we had to redo the whole routine and our competitions in 2 weeks!

speech therapy sounds interesting. what subjects do you need then to do it?

(we lost miserabley, 13/50.. but the questions were silly , we didn't come last last though lol)

its good to come last though cos then you get the losers prize!
