wickedcherubHey - in an effort to reclaim my life on LJ, I've made a rather large friends cut, nothing personal, just people I wasn't talking too, and hopefully it will make it all more manageable now so I can come back here.
I'm a terrible friend. I don't know why but I find it insanely hard to keep up a consistent friendship with anyone - I'll talk to someone every day for a few weeks, then not talk to them for months. I tried keeping up with RL friends on facebook because it wasn't time-intensive, but I just never get around to replying to people.
At least when I was a regular on LJ I felt like I was still in touch with everyone, so I figure it's time to come back.
None of my LJ layouts work anymore, so I'm back to a default one until I can work out the problem. My paid account runs out very soon, the first time in 5 years, and part of me doesn't want to pay it anymore, but part of me knows that if I see a Plus+ ad, I'm going to punch something. It's blackmail, that's what it is.
I've had big assignments due, and my little 9 yo boy cousin died of brain cancer this week. We've tried to spend as much time as we could with their family this past month even though they live so far away and even though all the cancer had disappeared earlier this year and he was healthy again, it relapsed and within a few weeks of my brother talking to him on msn, he just deteriorated :( I have to miss the funeral because of uni, but I'll be driving up to view the casket tomorrow. It's all stupid and I've been angry and upset and have been trying to distract myself from thinking about it, but it's going to hit me eventually that he's... gone. I don't know anyone that's died. I just don't get it. He was the light of everyone's life. If I believed in God, I'd say he sucks at his job.
I have to go type up my mum's assignment now - watching her peck away at the keyboard is driving me nuts, and speaking of assignments, I have a big favour to ask:
If you are a teacher, or you have/had school aged children and are willing to have a short interview with me via IM for my next big assignment, can you please let me know?
Or if you know anyone who wouldn't mind helping me out?
I have an assignment on the changes of curriculum, assessment and reporting over the years, and through different countries that's worth 40% of my mark :( It'll only be a short interview, and I think an edited version of the interview will be attached as an appendix to my assignment.
I'd be ever so grateful.
Thanks.

Thank you *hugs*
