Nothing will happen, I'll just miss out on the chance to possibly have all my uni expenses (which are ever-increasing) paid for me. And I probably am in with a good chance, so it was very, very stupid of me not to do it. Oh well.

So I entered all the equasions that the test asked for into the computer, it graphed them, and then the thing promptly explodes! Well screw me! I tried to sketch the graphs from memory, but I have no hope that I passed, and now I have to figure out what on Earth happened to my laptop. Could be worse though, if I cared about math very much. I'm still mad.

awwww i soo sorry that happened that really sucks...damn comp eh? well the my bloody day isn't going as planned stupid project is going to be the death of me.. why do we hafta do planning and all this...as my teacher says " now class this unit we are going to get in touch with ourselves" I DON'T WANNA LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!!

***Tessar*** · 11-20-2005, 04:03 PM

Why am I just feeling worse every day? Last night I woke up coughing and couldn't fall back asleep, and this morning I was coughing so hard that I thought I was going to throw up or pass out. I couldn't breath at a couple of points because I was coughing and gagging so much. I'm a little better now, but I'm pretty sure tomorrow isn't going to be much better than this morning..

Why at finals?! This sucks.

trolls' bane · 11-20-2005, 08:22 PM

I'm once again sick of people telling me what I should and shouldn't think, beleive, and learn.
More specifically, what I should read. I just finished Green MArs, and was going to go buy Blue MArs, and I told my grandma my plans.
"No."
"What?"
"You need to expand your area of reading."
People are so STUPID. What kind of idiotic answer is that? Thought suggestion. Once again, the target of my latest conspiracy theory. Brainwashed from childhood to resemble parents. Scary. I don't care what she says. The same day, the SAME DAY, she also outlaws my favorite type of gum, restricts what I say to Ron (the ex-mayor of Culver City I might have mentioned who just got out of the hospital with supposedly no understanding but I think it's my Grandma who doesn't understand), and halts my waving my cell phone trying to impress the ducks. (She was too late. It worked.)
I don't care. She's always chekcing up on my dad and I, and scrutinizes everythign we say. Oh, here she is on the phone now. Wait...telemarketer, never mind.
Well, I'm goign to get and read Blue Mars, no matter what. She says that you don't need to read the entire trilogy. No way I'm not going to. I learned from reading other books in between FotR and TTT, and the Mars Trilogy has about twice as many pages as LotR and skips around a lot more.

Lotesse · 11-20-2005, 09:42 PM

Do what you love, and what feels right, and what doesn't harm any one else, and the rest will follow. Or something. What's this about impressing the ducks? I say, ducks are notoriously difficult to impress.

What's your secret?

trolls' bane · 11-20-2005, 09:56 PM

Your cell phone. Use it and be feared. You can make them all fly away from twenty yards, then draw them back with it.

Lotesse · 11-20-2005, 10:07 PM

Lol!!

That's so funny! I can totally picture this, too, and it's a hilarious mental image! Curious and impressed ducks...

trolls' bane · 11-20-2005, 10:18 PM

Hmm...now you got me thinking.

Lotesse · 11-20-2005, 10:27 PM

Incidentally, there's a great travel stories book by the writer Tim Cahill called "Pecked To Death By Ducks." O.k., o.k., I'm not venting. Ah, let's see - what to vent about. You guys, I have so much s hit to vent about the list could encompass the whole damn thread, so I shall gracefully just take my ass up on out of here at this point.

Complain? Does no good to complain; might as well not bother... (anybody remember that old Monty Python complaining sketch? )

trolls' bane · 11-20-2005, 10:32 PM

George Carlin: One thing you may notice about my show is that I like to complain.

Giroth · 11-21-2005, 04:32 AM

quick vent: too much homework, too little time! (my fault actually, haha)

Tamuril Sirfalas · 11-21-2005, 01:19 PM

VENT: homework homework homework BIG PROJECT homework. it never stops does it?

Spock · 11-21-2005, 01:29 PM

No, it doesn't stop until you stop learning.

I remember one but I think it was about arguing - it was really funny! John Cleese was the guy - you could pay him to argue, and then he would stop when the time was up and the guy was going nuts and would try to get him to argue past the time but he wouldn't.

No real vents today, except got to drive to the dentist for my oldest son.

***RÃan*** · 11-21-2005, 02:36 PM

NOW I have a vent - first day of Thanksgiving vacation, and the kids are already arguing!

(I don't know how my mom kept from killing us all!

*takes a deep breath* )

Spock · 11-21-2005, 03:24 PM

Just back from a trip in which we used Amtrak for the first time. NOW I understand why they are going bankrupt!

**Nurvingiel** · 11-21-2005, 06:28 PM

What's Amtrak Spock? Is that a train?

RÃ*an, I love "Argument Clinic"!

"Arguing isn't just saying 'no it isn't'."
"Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position."
"An argument is an intellectural process! Not just an automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says."
"Time's up."
"Oh come on, it was just getting interesting!"
"If you want to go on arguing, you have to pay for another five minutes."
"That was never five minutes."
"..."
"Oh come on."

Maybe you should employ some of Cleese's tactics on your kids!

On second thought, maybe not.

***RÃan*** · 11-21-2005, 07:10 PM

LOL! Yes, that's the one I'm talking about - just priceless!!

One time I did do something like that with the kids

They had been arguing a lot in the car, and instead of saying what I usually do ("OK, no more talking for 5 minutes while we cool down, then you can ONLY start talking if it's nice"), I reversed it

and said, "OK, no more talking for 5 minutes while we cool down, then you can ONLY start talking if it's really mean and cruel!" They stared at me with their mouths hanging open, then started to cry and say that they didn't want to talk mean to each other, and please could they talk nicely?

(of course, they ARE human and started arguing again after a bit, but it made a point!)
