Government benefits

I'm trying to fill out my 'Claim for Youth Allowance' form for Centrelink and it's not all that fun. I was meant to go in this morning but really can't be bothered, and before that I need to gather all my information. The website was so confusing but I finally found the form and am not sure if I am meant to print it out, fill it out, and return it to the Centrelink office, or just go in and say I've been on benefits before. I don't know! All I do know is that I don't want to go in today but maybe I should. Otherwise it's first thing Monday morning before my BSW 306 group assignment meeting. I have to get a print out of my bank accounts and amounts in them, and possibly fill out a form of Yorick's details, but then I'm not sure if I have to fill that out or him. I would need to connect the printer but then the form is 28 pages long and we only just got new printing paper and have little ink, so I'd need to go in to Centrelink anyway. This is too annoying. I should go in today, and could...

I have a lot of flute practice to do today. I also have more chapters to read. I also have work tonight. Bugger that. I don't really want to go in today so maybe I will call up and see what else I need to get before I go in on Monday and if I need to get that other form or not. Because I've been in the system before they might do things differently. I hope they do because these forms are annoying.
