AFAIK, it's the "Friday before the AFL Grand Final" public holiday! Just a VIC thing :P

Yes.  It moved from end of September because the Grand Final moved date, and was also renamed to "Thankyou Day".  Proud of our Victorian cats, big and little, for keeping an away final in Victorian hands ;)

From what ik, it's just a victoria thing. Gotta love having a public holiday for a sport aha

Not to be confused with the much longer history behind Cup Day holiday.  Which is what?  Under two weeks away?  We have a mandatory closure for the Monday before Cup Day as well...

Melbourne Cup day is just another holiday for yet again: another sport.
We get the day off for watching horses run around a track🤷‍♀️ And yeah it's in 2 weeks... definitely going  to be a lifesaver for some going exams

Welp.
I bombed out of this year.
BUT, I am grateful that I live in a community that doesn't judge me by some silly little number. I appreciate my friends for all the help they gave me on the path to success a somewhat mediocre score.
Someday, I'll be able to make it to some form of tertiary education, and fully achieve what I had set out to do when I started Year 11 in 2019.
Someday...

Discovering a beautiful singer, when looking for just one song!
(I looked for 'Windmills Of Your Mind' and discovered Elan Catrin Parry singing that and... a few others. If you like traditional English music, you'll probably like this singer)
So now I've discovered yet another album freely available on Youtube that I like!!

I was at the train station and went to sit on a seat and someone near me quickly said 'wait don't sit there it's wet!'. Idk why but it made me happy that some random stranger didn't want me to accidentally sit on a wet seat 🥰

I forgot how much I like campus at this time. It's so peaceful and quiet. Little bits of electricity powered hums but mostly insects, birds, and the sound of your own footsteps.

Today I worked at the registers in my retail job. There was a lovely lady who had a chronic pain flair up while I was serving her, so I helped her put her card through and opened a bag of Mentos she wanted to eat. When I opened the bag, she insisted I have one.

Day made. <3

Taking a walk feeling somewhat downhearted and quite stressed because of uni. Overthinking everything. Then out of nowhere I glanced to the side and in someone's garden was a beautiful rose, perfect in every way, water droplets shining. I just stopped and stared at that one perfect rose; there were others on that bush but somehow, none of them were quite so beautiful as that single rose that had caught my attention. It was so beautiful I almost started crying. Then, at last, I continued on my walk.

It all hasn't felt quite so stressful since.
