It's school holidays here. Knowing Loosey Loo, I'd say she's making the most of some kiddie time.

My friend aussie, how you feeling about that essay? A, B, C, D, or F?

Well? Answers woman, answers! Did you get it written in the end? Gut feeling?

I just finished the essay today. It is an epidemiological paper that explores suicide in Australia. My paper is called Suicide in Australia - An Epidemiological Approach. I then give a lay persons perspective and what role they can play in the prevention and health promotion. Suicide needs to be talked about more in Australia, the old saying 'commit suicide' comes from the days when it was a crime and a 'cardinal sin'. It's an illness. I cite Chloe's Law as an example of a lay persons perspective and how powerful that message was in Australia. It did more to promote awareness than any government campaign I have seen.

I bet you're relieved to have that essay done. I remember I always was when I got a big project or paper done. I'm a procrastinator so if I got something done early I was doubly happy.

I have been smoking cigarettes wishing for stronger stuff. It's going to take me a while to settle down, because I have been under so much stress.
