melwilWell 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.
