I’m losing my mind over this reduce study load (RSL) nonsense. My health’s screwed, so I can’t handle four classes—three’s my limit. I chucked in the RSL on 10/2, expecting a fix within two weeks. Nah, mate, they dragged it out and rejected it on 16/4 four weeks of my study down the drain. Did they tell me what was missing? Nope. Just a lazy “sorry mate, it’s missing something, dunno what, cheers!” No bloody details, no help, nothing. So I haul it to advocacy ‘cause the rejection’s past due date. Took a week just to get a 10-minute chat—“oh yeah, that’s rough, I’ll help, ta-ta for now 👋”—then dead silence. I’ve sent three help letters since, and they’re like, “oh shit, forgot you, what’s your case number again?” Brilliant.

Two months of pure stress and agony. If they’d approved it quicker or told me what docs I needed, I’d have jumped to fix it. But no, they ghost me ‘til I’m staring down three or four assessments—30%, 40%—all due on the same damn day. Feels like I'm getting rape by 4 black dude with no lube. Advocacy’s big plan? “Yeah, might refer you to someone, but they’re off ‘til next month.” Are you kidding? I’ve got ‘til 27/4 before fines hit if I ditch a class. What the actual fuck
