RU4 RU486.
this is reeeaally disturbing. imagine reading an article about abortion and the abortion pill RU486. the pill is not available in australia, and one would think that the writer would advocate for the permissible use of the drug only under strict legislations. however the writer's arguments swing to the other extreme of the spectrum. in consideration of uni students, the writer argues that 'currently student income support levels are barely adequate for a person to live and raise a child whilst continuing to study' and 'the option of surgical abortion is traumatic and painful, whilst time consuming and highly inconvenient due to the many preliminary appointments and examinations one has to undergo (which would disrupt their studies and tutorial timetables)'.. hence the drug shld be made available, over the counter, preferably.
wow, what a shallow basis. i'm disgusted. really disgusted. if u'd read the article i'm sure u'd hav been too! the writer makes it out that alot of uni students are having problems with unwanted pregnancies and.. the best thing we could do for them would be to make their abortions less painful? what about teaching them abstinence, i say? or if u think tt its too late, tt its already their culture (or in their veins - but tts only if u prefer to believe the genetic nature of medicine), then dun let them get away easy - let them experience the painful consequences. if not they'll never learn. heh ok. enough of tt. i was getting all hyped up about all this talk, but i figured tt i've got to stop. a blog's meant to be lighthearted and cheery, a blissful and easy read :) so anw. more stuff bout my wk... yesterday i did the most ingenious thing ever. was craving so much for the marks and spencer choc digestives tt my mum used to buy regularly for me, tt i took the digestives i had n spread nutella all over them. tt was pretty awesome, i must say. even better than marks n spencers! and i had timtam too. yum. i guess when u're overseas and u dun really get gd meals, u tend to spoil urself with 'desserts'. tts how u gain weight over here i guess. not cos portions are big. tts a myth :) dun worry. i get my daily servings of greens and fruits still (see below). 
n i cooked my own dinner again today (speghetti with mushrooms carrot and mince beef in tomato sauce). din expect it to turn out well but fortunately it did!! was sooo happy when i tasted it and it was yummy. makes cooking worth the while. anw i cooked 2 portions and am planning to eat the other half for lunch tmr :) yay i feel accomplished. zero dollar days? (a term this monash fren called jeff gave to days where u dun spend a single cent) no problemato.
