Last Friday the wind was so strong (Melbourne has crazy winds) that everyone couldn't walk straight. I was trying very hard not to get blown away and out of my path when I came across a frail old woman in her 80s (it seems) clinging to (actually more like hugging, with whatever strength there was in her) a big tree with a walking stick. Imagine that sight.

I had already passed by her, merely thinking she looked kinda pathetic... but then a few seconds later I stopped to ask if she was alright.

4 more days to submitting the 2500 word essay on Roosevelt. It's at times like these when I wish America did not go through the Great Depression and FDR was never elected President. Maybe, it would even be better off if he wasn't re-elected twice. ARGH. History.


Deep within I'm shaken by the violence
Of existing for only you.
