Oh sweet holiday

So I've been on holiday offish (officially) for a week now, yay- go me!  Unfortunately achievements have been minimal to nil.  I did manage to get myself a part-time job for next semester which will greatly aid my monetary fund... however I am yet to have done much more than that.

I'm actually supposed to be planning my end of year trip to Cambodia, where I'm going to do some volunteering and actually contribute to the world in a meaningful way (i.e. I've basically been sucking the world for all that it's good for thus far).  I've been too scared to actually do anything though, as me madre (mother) has expressed some concern about me travelling alone.  Now, understandably I often prove myself to be a bit lacking in the common sense department, can be slightly clumsy at times and may appear bereft of any intelligence on the odd occasion - but the woman is convinced I'm about to Schapelle Corby myself and end up in a South East Asian jail for the remainder of my life. 

I'm thinking I'm going to take a leaf out of Julia Gillard's book and go for the sneaky take-over manoeuvre, get Dad cornered while he's alone and then strike Mum down without warning.  To involve her in any of my travelling plans could be catastrophic, I'll end up somewhere godforsaken like Twizel... ugh, the thought is making my skin crawl.  Unfortunately, the involvement of the parentals is necessary given that my current funds will not allow these travels to occur alone- never fear, I am going to be paying them back!  I am not a disgusting bloodsucker who plans on never leaving the safety (questionable) of my home!

This weather, also, is sh*t.  God needs to take his Prozac, this psychotic season switching is causing me, my hair and my wardrobe tremendous difficulty!!!
