I am tired and grumpy and it is entirely my university's fault. I am so god damn fed up with their shit. On Wednesdays, I have a 10am-1pm class, which according to our timetable is meant to change as of this week to 9am-12pm because the format of the class changes. At 9:10am this morning, Wendy, the head of not only this subject but my entire course, sent an email saying class didn't start till 10am. Who the fuck sends an email 10min after class is meant to start telling us there is a time change??? I live outside the city and it takes me over an hour commuting to get to uni. This is ridiculous. She didn't even know what room we were in when she did turn up.

I cannot comprehend how this degree came to be labelled as Australia's best Journalism degree. I really can't.

To make me even more grumpy, I still haven't received feedback on my major essay topic and I wasted my time this afternoon trying to do an assignment.

If I only had one semester left before I graduate, I would seriously drop out. I cannot take this shit anymore.

I despise people who think that retail assistants are not people too. Yes, we are there to help you, but that does not mean you can treat us like shit. Today I had a customer crack the shits at me [and Belinda] because he wanted to be served. The problem was he decided that instead of standing in front of the counter, he would stand behind a bookmark display meaning I couldn't see him. He then bitched to Heike that we were giving him attitude, when in actual fact we were explaining to him that we were not ignoring him but we didn't realise he wanted help.

What pissed me off is that Heike and Trevor did nothing. It felt like they condone a person shouting at their staff. This guy was nothing but a douchebag. And under no circumstances is it okay for you to actually yell at a staff member. Espcially when it's your own damn fault for standing behind a display!

Urgh am currently being bored to death by listening to a two hour mp3 uni lecture. Our teacher's decided to tell us a month after this lecture took place that we have to make a posting on it for our assignment. Idiots.

I hate all people today.

Rant about fashion

Am I the only one who notices the absurdity of kid's who were born in the 90s wearing I LOVE THE 80s accessories? Don't get me wrong, I am a massive fan of 80s pop culture. This is the decade of Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Say Anything, Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club. The 80s gave us the original MTV [and the noughties bastardised MTV to the reality show piece of shit it is now] and fantastic one-hit wonders.

But as far as I'm concerned the fashion can stay where it is meant to, in the PAST. Has everyone suffered amnesia and forgotten we used to mock 80s fashion only a few years ago?

I am fed up with fluro, animal print, tacky slogans, t-shirt ties, bulky plastic jewellery, glowsticks, psychadellic patterns, glitter and terrible cuts. It is nigh impossible to find decent clothing anywhere these days.

The only slight consolation this trend brings is that it is slowly shifting the "rock" look out of the spotlight so the people who wore it before it was cool can return to not feeling like sheep.

Then there's the vintage t-shirt phenomenom. The whole POINT of vintage t-shirts is that they are rare, slightly nerdish, obscure and left of centre. It was a way of seeing someone and acknowledging a kindred spirit, someone with a similar personality to your own. But now there are 14 year olds running around with these shirts on. I find it highly offensive that there are kids wearing Gumbi shirts who have NO IDEA who Gumbi is. Having everywhere from Jay Jays to Myer to Target selling "vintage" t-shirts completely destroys their meaning. Another fantastic thing has been bastardised by fashion trends.

Trends should just die in my opinion.
