I thought I would whip in my blog & do a little blogging before they shut down the computers. I was in the library late lastnight waiting for transit, so I decided to look at a newspaper. Low & behold, there was a story about an 8 year abduction of an Austrian girl, Natascha Kampusch by a guy who called himself 'Wolfgang'. He immediately took action & took his own life for fear of imprisonment. It's a god-send that Natascha made out on her own will & survived 8 years w/a stranger. She must have felt some need for Wolfgang Priklopil since he took care of her since she was a child. This is called 'Stockholm Strategy' which is 'Bonding to one's captor (abuser)...survival strategy' A fund for Natascha has been set up in her name by the Austrians so she can use it for her psychoanalysis that will be carefully observed by Austrian doctors. It was hinted that she may be able to get Wolfgang's inheritance or whatever was in his name, like his house. I believe Natascha deserves a lot more than what she may get! She has been through a hell of an experience & needs a lot of supporters.

I went to my UCFV Orientation yesterday & found it to be very exhilirating! I got my student card ID done & was given a 'luggage tag' for discounts during the sports year. I can't wait to start school & there are a lot of people older than me who will be attending UCFV, which makes me feel a little bit better. They have this awesome computer set-up in their lab & I can't wait to try it out for my own personal use!

My boyfriend & the other Matsqui boys have been in lockdown for a few days, so I haven't been to see him all week & I'm starting to miss him. It's a good thing they can't cancel family visits because I get to visit Joe for 24 hrs starting at 2:30 pm tomorrow. It's going to be wild!
