AP: So just over 3 weeks ago I handed my last assignment in for my Bachelor degree in Eduction, and about 2 days before that I got a call with a contract job offer for teaching a year 1/2 class (which in and of itself was pretty cool, as my number had not been loaded into the government system yet (a number that is required to work in the education system unless a school specifically requests you), which means the school had sifted through everyones applications and CV's and chosen mine specifically). I accepted the job and started literally two days after I handed my last assignment in. I then have been working there the past 3 weeks, and have been doing so well that I not only have gotten my contract extended to the rest of the term, but probably the rest of the year, and have been offered permanency for next year too (which I actually rejected as I want to travel, so the principal just said to tell her when I get back and I will have a job then). AP 2: Real money! Got $1000 after tax for my first week of work, and I'm currently at a reduced rate because I have not got my transcript from uni yet, once that goes through in mid September I should get an extra $200 or so a week. AP 3: I should have saved around $17000 by the end of the year for my traveling that I want to do next year! (Plus I was going to wait till winter to travel, which gives my another 4 months or so to save).

AP: Haven't even finished uni yet and I've been getting job offers! Just accepted one, and I now have a year 1/2 class and start teaching on the 13th of this month! So exciting! Related PP: I'm also scared and nervous, and now can't concentrate properly on my last two assignments because I'm thinking about how I'll be teaching in less than two weeks >.>

the home being... Like, humanity n' shit...
Ah, I understand now! Well everything is cool then PP: 3 assessment's taking forever to complete, which isn't good as they are all due over the next 2 weeks. Related AP: I finished my degree at the end of those two weeks (providing I don't fail >.>)

Charity begins in the home, Milly. Least thats what I've been taught.
Are you suggesting that I don't give to charity? Or are you suggesting that people need to start by helping those closest to them, because either way what I said still stands. I sponsor a child (have been for 10 years), and donate when the opportunity arises. I also believe that wherever you look you'll be able to find other humans in need of help and support. @ Yut: Yeah, I've never been a fan of PETA, especially after I read into how they handle many situations with the animals they 'save' and so on. PP: My damn research proposal, never done one before, and now my first one i worth 40% in each of my three units. Basically meaning if I screw it up, I've screwed up all three units.

PP: Everyone being so obsessed with animal rights and animal cruelty. No I don't think animal cruelty is ok, but I also think that if all the people getting so wrapped up in helping cows, pigs, and chickens out, actually redirected that passion towards helping cruelty against humans that they would be doing something much more worthwhile and important. In the long run, if humans can't even treat other humans with respect, then what hope will there ever be for animals? Start with what is needed most, get people caring about other people, and then maybe you will have a hope in getting people to care about animals.
PS. I mean no offense to anyone who is all for animal rights, good on you for believing in something and wanting to make a difference, but I am sick of people posting these shocking images of animals getting skinned alive or statistics on how many puppies die each day, on the pretense that we must fight for animal rights because they don't have voices and therefore they can't protect themselves. I'm sure if you went and saw the state of life that many humans live in, you will soon see there are many... MANY, who don't have the means or ability to protect themselves or their families even though they technically have 'a voice'.

Na I'm just using CD's, though when I used to use my player it did turn on because I would have it plugged into the car to keep it charged, and so when the car turned on it would get power and automatically turn on too.

That's pretty funny, I have similar issues when I go to drive mum (who is a strict Christian) somewhere in my car, and I have forgotten about the heavy metal music (or any genre really) that includes much swearing that was blazing when I turned off the car, and then of course is drummed into our ears the second I turn the car on >.>

I looked it up and found many many people asking the same question, most responses were not useful though, but some indicated that perhaps you should tell your doctor about it, because there are a few possible sicknesses/diseases that would cause such a sensation. In saying that people say you should see a doctor for everything on the internet, so I would personally only go myself if I was already starting to worry/consider going to the doctor beforehand.
