i'm unemployed right nowand due to the current financial crisis making it hard to find a job, as well as my postgraduate year of uni sucking all my time away, i get to spend whatever spare time i have weeping softly as i look at my depleted bank account and plead with centrelink to give me money.
oh, wait, the upside......um. well, i did learn to bake. i make a mean batch of choc mint cupcakes now.
