Why am I watching bad tv?

Waiting, waiting, waiting .... waiting for that all important phone call to tell how the Court case went. It's frustrating! And it's not as though I can call the police officer, who was going to inform me of the results, because I don't have a contact number for her. I know that there is another person to contact, but I am not in the mood for having that conversation with her. Her, being my mum and that conversation, being the one along the lines of making me feel guilty for doing what I can to take care of myself. I know how irrational that sound, but any dealings with my mum and/or sister are not rational. But when you know what Peta is capable of and have walked in my shoes, you wouldn't hesitate for one moment to take out an AVO.

 She has assaulted me in the past, to explain some of where I am coming from. One night, I don't even know why it all started, she hit mum in the face and went on to attack me as I was walking away from her. She repeatedly hit me at the base of my skull and continued on until she was pulled off of me by our uncle, who struggled to pull her off me. If he wasn't there, I know she would have killed me. Without a doubt, the force behind each blow, the rage that was inside of her, she wouldn't have ended until it was the end of me.

Then there was the time she was arrested for drink driving in Canberra and it took 4 policemen to put her in the paddy wagon. *sigh of frustration* She has being doing stuff like this on and off for the past 8 years and yet she gets away with it.

It's a frustrating situation and I just want a resolution. 

But that aside, life is good. :) I could potentionally be starting a course next month in CAD Operations, which would be awesome. I mean, it's way ahead of when I'd being doing it in Engineering - Advanced Trade and it would be excellent to get a head start and I feel completely and utterly capable of doing it now. I want to be an Engineer so badly and I would be excellent at it, that I will do anything, but not of the sexual variety, to get it. Hence the maths tuition - to make sure I'm grasping it and working at an RMIT stand at a machinery expo next week and then I found out that there are positions available at a production post out at Airport West with some aviation company that is working on the vertial thrusters in fighter planes. EEEEEPPPPP!!!! Could you imagine doing work placement there??  OH - MY - LORD!!!!! I'm so excited by the thought of it!!! 

I have never been as certain of anything in my life as I am of this - that I am going to be an Engineer, whether it's aviation or mechanical. I am going to do it and kick butt in the process. :D
