You know winner? It's another word for loser

Did we all hear about Canada? I'm impressed that another country has followed in Ausralia's footsteps and apologized to it's indigenous people :)
We love you Kevin!
I'm currently taking a break from studying. I'm on Hashem's computer. They're playing chess... and Hashem just lost. Lol he's a sore loser!
Hannah came round before. She's almost out cold. She had a take home exam that was released 24 hours before the hand in date. She has not slept for like 30 hours! Poor girl.
Estelle isn't coming out this way today :( Friday is usually our coffee day. But I'll probably go stay at hers on Tuesday! She has an exam in the morning then we'll go to UWS and see Michael and Lorraine because I haven't seen them since first year!
One more day then I've finished this semester.
There is a seminar session on the 28th June. It's called 'After the Apology'. It's going to be held in Redfern...
'World Vision have joined forces with the City of Sydney Council, to present to you
'After the Apology', a forum that will work on putting the ideals presented in Kevin Rudd's apology in February of this year into action. It will feature first hand accounts from members of the Stolen Generation, their children and grandchildren, to follow the experiences and journey of indigenous Australians over many generations. It will also include Tom Calma the Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander Social Justice Commissioner, along with indigenous performances and afternoon workshops to equip us with the skills required to assist in interactive programs with our local indigenous community.'
Lunch is provided and its free. It's on the 28th of June though :( I need to go home next week but I want to go to it :s... not fair!
There is also a human rights conference in Byron Bay on the 1-4 July. Info here. That would be good too.
Did I mention I get GLP points for attending these events?
Ah! I just got a call from Grandma... awkward!
Anyhoo... I should get back to my computer. Do more work. I feel a sinus headache coming on. Time for panadol.
Alina and Hashem are plaing chess at the table... Alina is making horse noises because her horse took his bishop...lol it's so funny!
Birthday Coundown...
17 days till my birthday :)
