I was riding down a main commuter route this morning, and some bloke had decided that the bright green, physically separated bike lane was the perfect spot to park his massive double axle holiday caravan while he popped into a cafe. He didn't even put his hazard lights on. When I stopped and politely pointed out that he was forcing a line of cyclists out onto a 60km/h multi lane road, he looked me dead in the eye with the sheer confidence and told me to "just ride around it, mate, plenty of space." I wasn’t even mad, I was just completely mesmerised by the absolute lack of shame. How do you possess that level of unearned entitlement?

Waking up at 5:30 am to catch a bus to campus just to sit a high stakes exam while your brain is still completely asleep is actual psychological warfare. Who genuinely thought making hundreds of stressed teenagers commute at the crack of dawn was a good system?

The workload lately has hit a massive wall and I honestly feel overwhelmed. I’ve got multiple major assessments due at the same time, and I had to work all weekend to help my family with expenses. I missed a draft deadline few days back for a teacher I really respect, and I feel awful about it. I don’t want them to think I’ve stopped caring or that I’m making excuses, but stress has completely frozen me mentally. From a teacher’s perspective, what’s the best way for a student to ask for an extension or support without sounding lazy or dishonest?

The Hall of Fame event on Friday night was incredible. Seeing the 2006 premiership guys reunited with the 90s icons really puts into perspective how successful this club was. But looking at the inaugural "Legends" list, is there anyone you feel was hard done by? Does Ben Cousins eventually get there if he continues his current path, or is the "Legend" status strictly reserved for those with the Jakovich/Worsfold type of clean-cut longevity?

Mine is- New day.

With recordings and notes available, many seem to skip in-person sessions entirely. Is attendance still that important long term?
