take a ride, take a shot now
Three people were shot around eight forty-five this morning down Flinders Lane, in the central business district of Melbourne. One is dead and the other two are critical. How horrifying. And apparently it was a somewhat opportunistic crime, which makes it even more shocking, I thought - guy was arguing with the three soon-to-be victims, it got out of control, he shot them and headed on outta there.
(I'm not sure why my school forced the Year 11s and 12s to continue to stay at school and out of the city, though. Dr. Janson is a lovely guy. Oh hang on - liability, you say? Carry on.)
We were allowed to leave by lunchtime, though. Which was good - I left during lunchtime, went to pick up this lovely charm necklace from Diva and my iPod Molly from the Next Byte place. Her hold switch was busted; she's been replaced. By a new and unscratched black iPod nano. Uhhhhhhh :*( R.I.P., Molly dearest, I'll miss you.
So, four exams down, three to go! I had Methods and Studio Farts today, both of which I think I've done well in. Fucking ace! What a miracle, especially considering my average in Maths last year was something like 60%. Plus I borderline failed my end of year exam, too. MOVING ON. Unfortunately, I almost turned up late to my Methods exam - CONNEX ARE BASTARDS and trains along my line were delayed by at least half an hour this morning because of power failure at Rosanna which was really gay and spending extended periods of time with my father who is very angry about having to drive me to school in a car that stinks of cigarettes and cursing every ten seconds was not a nice way to start the day. Tomorrow I have Chemistry in the morning and Legal in the afternoon, and on Thursday I have Philosophy. FABULOUS!
Ms. Cooper came and found me during recess and talked to me about my Literature exam - which I thought I'd fucked up royally. Ms. Cooper seemed to agree (though not phrasing it quite that way), I told her I panicked, she told me that the result wouldn't affect my overall mark for the unit 'cause I've done really well otherwise.
Also, I HAS AN EMPLOYMENT HURRAY! I'm going to be working for a company who are in turn working for the Department of Human Services, and my job is going to be visiting convenience stores and crap on weekends, trying to purchase cigarettes from them with a representative with me to bust 'em. Or something along those lines. I'm going to training on Friday, and apparently the pay's something like $12 an hour. YESSSSSS.
Oh life.
