Well I'm feeling a bit emotionally bruised at the moment.

I just got two letters from QUT telling me that, no, I won't be studying Education this year. Not because I didn't have the requirments, but because they don't have the places.

The due date to get my forms in is still two weeks away.

(This is a state where we are screaming for new teachers. I got an OP5, a 5.25/6 GPA, love working with kids and desperately want to be a teacher. And they don't have room for me - but they have room for some 17 year old who'll drop out in a few weeks)

Then I come online to be confronted with 100+ emails about the writing of HP slash - soon went into a slash discussion not about HP.

The thing that bugged me about this was the way that people jumped on this to attack those who write literary based fic.

I had a longer response to this, but I've meta'd enough.

I'm going to crawl into bed and have a good cry.

Melina, I'm so sorry! This is completely unfair, and a disgusting injustice on the part of QUT. I am absolutely furious.

Can you get in mid-year?

I'm going to try. I'm also going to see if I can wrestle with QTAC and get into the four year course and then use all my UQ credits to get it down to two or three years.

Otherwise, I'll wait out the year, save some money and maybe do some volunteer work as a teacher's aide.

I've got a lot to figure out over the next couple of days.
