Back at uni, someone's in my usual desk spot but luckily the library has fuck all people in it so there I am.

Made sure to PUT THE FUCKING PERMIT ON VISIBLY this time and triple checked. I haven't contested the fine yet but my psych said she was willing to write a medical letter in support just to give it a go and I don't feel like I deserve it but what the fuck, she offered, I'll take it as a sign to try.

So want to just bumble around today but I have a meeting with the other researchers at 2pm and feel like I don't know shit about fuck (I'm supposed to be trying out the sampling method now but just want to stare at grass). My body is fully prepared for relaxation and connection, not thinking!

Contest. Seriously. That fine amount is a joke.

Yeah, it's a special area as far as Council goes but ridiculous considering the number of spots available and low use. Same amount as parking during no stopping (but not towaway) hours in other councils, ffs... Even a $70 fine would be enough to deter the nearby business park employees.
