Stupid School. Stupid Bureaucracy.

Every year, I hate going back to school. I love school itself. I love being in it, I love learning, I love going to class and I love reading about things and being forced to think about stuff that I might never have considered otherwise.
But oh, how I hate the bureaucracy that Ontario universities make you jump through to get to school. Heaven help you if you need a loan or got one out in first year that you used up to pay off the dorm fees, since OSAP didn't cover enough. Now the problems extend to banks and companies, and all the issues are doubly harder to deal with; issues like costly proof of enrollment from the school (no, my student timetable does not appear to count) so that the bank does not charge me for the line of credit even though I'm clearly still a student.


It all makes me want to spend the whole day crafting, just to while away my anger. Perhaps I shall.



In the meantime, here are some photos of the camping trip* that my three sisters and I took:

Because that's what sisters do behind each others' backs.

Charlie- looks really old here. Like, preteen at least (she's not, though-Yet).

Drinking keeps us together.

This picture is kind of funny, because I came back from the washroom to her going "I'm a wookiee, I'm a wookiee, I'm a wookiee..." I asked if she even knew what a Wookiee was. To me:  Chewbacca=

*Photo not from camping trip. Actually from here: link.

The hairy one.
Sadly, she did not know what I was talking about, even when I made Chewbacca noises.
We have a Star Wars marathon coming up over the Christmas break when I go home.

My youngest sister and I. Again, what sisters do to each other when the other's not looking.

For some reason, I believe in really raw, realistic pictures of kids. Altered, set up or faked ones are too cliche for me, I think.

Food was a major part of the week, mostly over the campfire. We only used 1/2 of a little propane tank in 6 days.
