What a "holiday"

(Crossposting this from Dreamwidth as a test. Username is the same. So friend me, if you wish.)

Just posting to say that the Clinical Logic people in my uni are idiots. If you want us to make the assignment on your site and hand it in, you should send us messages so we know it's there.

Anyway, busy few days. A run down:

April 31 was Queen's day

As I've just written to a friend who (wisely?*) moved to New Zealand, this whole divorce fiasco has shown me the missing link between a deep, sadistic pleasure and utter disgust (can you imagine how much dirt is going to be swept under the rug while the public opinion is diverted on this?). But then, it's the feeling I always get when I pride myself in not having voted for this people, and then I realize it's just going to make the next years suck more. I mean.

(*)After all, a while ago she wrote me after they had elections and said that a self made billionaire won there, too o_O; wtf is with people?!?

I did feel deep sadistic pleasure (I loathe Berlusconi. Everytime I think he couldn't possibly be more maffia-like or rude he goes and does it again.) until I saw a report with Italian people saying what they thought about the business. The wife should apologize? She's from show biz too so she should suck it up? That's just the way men are? That just depressed me, I'm glad you didn't vote for him, I was flabbergasted when he got re-elected again >_>

I kinda took it for granted that dirt is going to be swept under the rug. >.>

Partly Free?! Dude, that's pretty sad. :(

Our minister of Finance used to be employed by Royal Dutch Shell, a multinational oil company...

I find it interesting that the Rememberance Day and the Liberation Day are split out. On the one hand, it make sense to separate the somber and the joyful, on the other hand, I'm so used to the somber and the joyful explicitly coexisting in the big Soviet WWII-commemorating holiday (May 9, Victory Day).

Really weird that the national holiday doesn't apply to universities. That definitely seems wrong and worth being bitter about.

I think it's like those Ancient Greek festivals, where they first remember the sad and then go on to celebrate, like the Hyacinthia. I think because it makes people more hopeful. And gives an excuse to party at big festivals, I suppose. (Incidentily, May 9 was the date for the first remembrance of the dead, but they changed it.)

LOL, worse, we actually have to pay for public transport today, which students almost never have to do. It's like they don't want us to show up. XD
