Bad bad bushfires

There was an recent cataclysmic outbreak of bushfires in several locations across Victoria. Due to the heatwave, record breaking temperatures and even the suspicion of arsonist/s.

A decent, six digit figure of 100,000 AUD bounty was released for anyone who could provide information regarding the arsonist/s. Urged by my compassion and also/mostly by the hefty reward, I contacted a friend for satellite feed of the street the arsonist/s apparently took off on. Based on the size of the video footage (like 15TB+, 72 hours worth of video surveillance footage) and the time it took for me to download it, carefully look over it, then follow the arsonist/s path all the way home and hoping there were no obstacles in my way until the end was near impossible. So I gave up.

There were many people adversely effected by this disaster, but many individuals, Governments, organizations, companies and I stood together and showed compassion towards this catastrophic event. A huge donation fund was created and estimated to reach over 100 million easily, currently is at a bit above 60 million I believe but the recent announcement of support from the Cricket, AFL and large businesses (That is surviving the current economic crisis) will booster that amount by a fairly large margin. Schools across Victoria were also urged by the premier to participate in the Friday free dress day to generate much needed funds. My school honorably participated in this while I happily donated a dollar.

There were many noticeable side effects even for the inner city, urban population. The smoke scented air, full of C02 I believe,(Failed chemistry, don't ask/ probably wrong.) the crimson sun and the massive advertisement campaigns that 'aims to at raise funds and awareness' but the underlying fact is the standard attempt to create a better public image by being of the few(at start, rest follow) companies that show compassion.

IMAGE OF RED SUN:

AND YES THAT IS A GENUINE IMAGE I SERIOUSLY DID NOT PHOTOSHOP IT. :)

WORKLOAD

Year 12 eats kids alive. Truth. The workload in the final year is extraordinary, exercise after exercise, from one assignment to the next its completely, utterly ENDLESS. For the first time, I have noticed that I did not have even the odd hour to watch some television.

Time drifts by, from after school to supper time. A good three hours always seem to disappear. Frankly I hardly ever remember what I did during those times, get an afternoon snack perhaps, catch up on the daily headlines and for most days, not having the slightest chance of starting any homework. I should really start changing my habits.

P.S: Toradora 18 continues to evaluate the high expectations with astonishing development of each individual character, as their motives begins to finally bloom the storyline prepares for its final few episodes, ipso facto, fabulous.
