Hundreds of Dunedin residents took to the street in what they called a Walk of Commitment in a bid to mend relations between students and the rest of the local community.
The move follows alcohol-fuelled unrest three weeks ago which saw riot police take to the street.
Organisers say the community must unite and move forward.

today we walked down Castle St and Hyde St cleaning up, and well basically, making a stand to take responsibility for the state the city is in, the student alcohol abuse problem. (go to: http://www.bringthelove.co.nz/) is it a problem? you bet it is. I had my dose of 'reality' just yesterday afternoon while playing soccer. it's not funny, and it's so real. guess I've really been so protected that I've never experienced something this...in-your-face. I have to admit, I was really scared. and so thankful I've never encountered such an incident whilst on my own.
so it's time this week, to make a difference. will I dare to take a stand?
otherwise, I've been quite busy lately...and I'm going to be so much more busy this week. it's just...crazy. what happened to not taking up so much on my plate?! hmm. too many things have been happening, I don't have time to update my blog. haven't been coming online much lately either...I can't, cos I just end up wasting my time, like now. I mean, yeah, I do have to check my emails and stuff, but...anyway.
I kinda miss my online life...
still have my 2 CAL tests to do, I'm helping out in Med Cultural Night and THAT has quite a bit of work to do, I realised. =S helping out in Count'd this weekend too. and have to prepare for Elim International Idol. AND I've got my progress test to do, I forgot! ahhh.......I'm not stressed, I'm just...contemplative. ok, whatever.
I don't have time to think about anything else...ANYTHING.
right. I should either: (a) go study for my CAL test, (b) go catch up on my sleep, (c) reply emails which are quite important, or (d) waste my time. everything's become urgent and important! I shouldn't have left it till this...I should've done it when it was important but not that urgent yet. bleah.
just ignore me...thanks.
anyway, enjoy the week ahead guys. I'm going to pull through this, I know it!
GOD BLESS YOU. =)
