Fleeting

I miss my dog Cleo so much it's not funny. I was home in Kempsey for a few days, and just got back to Sydney today. I find it very hard to come back to the city, I miss my family a lot. I ate way too much of my Mum's cooking, went for a long walk on the beach and gave my Mum a couple of computer lessons. I kind of forgot to do any university work, and now I'm not looking forward to tackling several essays. I think I'm very ready for this semester to be over and to complete my undergraduate degree, I just hope I can hold myself together until then.

I've been swallowed whole again.

What happened to my future

I have never been so depressed about an election. Okay so this will only be the second election that I'm voting in, but still. I am so unenthused and let down by both parties. I feel that there is no vision. We're just been presented with Labor and the Liberal party nit picking at each other. It's so woeful.

I was watching Q and A on the ABC (yes, I am an ABC watcher), and one kid asked Tony Abbott what he would do for the Arts. Which made me think, YES. What about the arts!? Nobody gives a shit about the arts and we haven't heard from either party about investment in the nations creativity. Also, what about the youth of this nation, what about university students?

I feel so isolated in this election. I feel that I am being ignored and that nothing appeals to me from either party.

All I want is a little vision and a little hope. Is that too much to ask for?
