I was just back from Melbourne and as good as it was each holiday has it's nightmares.
Firstly trams. Their too packed. I need to have a seat since my cerebral palsy affects my balance and sometimes trams are so full I can barley find one especially peak hour. Peak hour was scary trams were so full we had to wait for two other trams to pick up most people. Generally trams are scary if people are standing up too, it just makes me nervous. What if the doors close? What if i trip over someone's foot? Also don't get me started about people who stand by the door. They're evil. There are literally hand rails in the aisles. If you can't find a seat just don't stand by the door, ever.
We stayed at a different hotel from usual this time and it also had a breakfast buffet. Unlike the Travelodge hotel we usually stay at this one had nothing. 5 cereals, yoghurt, baked beans AND THE MOST GHASTLY EGGS IVE EVER SEEN. I guess I'm fussy but those eggs were horrible, also the toaster kept burning my toast whenever I got raisin bread. and there was no fruit either, Just less options, those eggs though *shudders*.
Lastly I shared a room with my Nonna (grandma.) While being independent and pretty much on my own was great nights were horrible. The first night Nonna woke up every two hours to pee which mean she turned on all the lights. At 4am she claimed she hadn't eaten dinner (even though she had) Then she started eating the sugar packets for coffee until I bought her a danish that we had left over. Second night the toilet events repeated but somehow between 12 and 3 am she mistook the door to the hallway for the bathroom door and walked out. Some guy from the lobby brought her back upstairs after calling my parents room and figuring out she was with me. When heard the door knocking I was so scared. Last night she was better. I left the bathroom light on and although I had trouble getting to sleep because of it at least she didn't walk out the hallway door again. However she's lost her bottom dentures. Mum and I looked everywhere for at least 45 minutes until realising she somehow locked her suitcase and didn't have the key. We're going to need to cut the lock off tomorrow. Not to mention the whole language barrier thing made it all 10x worse, for whatever reason most Italian I know seems to have floated out of my head and whatever I did say it was proper Italian and not Venice dialect so we kind of couldn't understand each other anyway.

Today was for new students only, I had no idea. I feel like absolute shit. I've been bawling my eyes out for half an hour and I cried the entire way home. 
My mum also booked the bus. I feel like an asshole because I have to take a bus for a place 2km away. Because of me they added a detour from a main road and I only ride home three days a week. I just feel so bad because Everyone else on the Hills bus lives on the other side of town. I also need an extra curricular music form for my lessons and Student Services and the front office didn't have one, I bet you she'll be like : "Oh I'm sorry, we haven't received high enough interest so those have been cancelled
" I swear the head of the music department hates me. We have swimming and sports carnival coming up, I have cerebral palsy, I can't swim, I can't run, hell if last year was anything I apparently can't walk either.
According to the news, they've put it as a "recommended update", so if I still had automatic updates on, it'd download it automatically. No thanks. I don't really want it yet and I don't think my system could handle it.
We've had a pretty mild winter, until 2 ish weeks ago when we got dumped with 2+ feet of snow and just when it is about to finish melting because of rain, we get another foot of snow. Now it's snowing again and cold.
