That's awesome, Gwai.
As for me, after some careful consideration I have decided that heck with that and I'm going to take as $%)#ing long as I need to graduate. I am dropping statistics, and from here on will not be taking more than 12 hours a semester. In the mean time, it looks like my hours at the church will bump up to 20 (not including the 6 hours of paid singing), and I'm still trying to get more voice students. I may be 23 and still in school, but it's not like I'm doing nothing with my life. I'm studying music and business, I'm teaching, I'm performing, I'm about to start being a pianist for the children's choir, and I have a steady part-time job. What more could I want right now? Also, I'm going to build a computer. What precious little time I have that I could enjoy playing video games in is usually wasted trying to figure out why our current dinosaur refuses to do anything. Plus I wanna be a badass and build a computer. I feel so much better about myself than I have in ages. |

Haha. Don't worry, Tess. My husband is 23 and still in school, and once he graduates, he's probably going back for more (*SIGH*)... I, on the other hand, hate school and wish to drop out as soon as I can get away with it, which hopefully is soon! I've got this new graphic design job that is looking pretty good - it may be my ticket away from the classroom (PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE...)
Do you know what kind of computer you're wanting to build? And also did you know that it is generally the cheapest way to GET a computer - to buy the parts and put them together yourself?

Glad you figured out which way to go. By the sound of it you already do much more while in school than most people out of it but with jobs, so I wouldn't worry about that.
I too am interested how you will handle that. I've often wondered whether I could do something with the carcasses of our dinosaurs, but other than enlarging their RAM I haven't got a clue how I should do about the rest.

Wouldn't that be fun if all of us Mooters could have a giant movie watching party together?

My research has showed me that I'm looking at wanting a quad core, 3.0+ghz processor, but as for the rest I'm pretty lost at sea. I'm thinking 4-8 gigs of memory, but video cards and the other misc. items confuse me a bit. I'm not worried about the power supply (aside from getting one that's 80+ certified) or the optical drive (I don't need/want blueray, just a read/write capability). I e-mailed what I know I want, and the things I'm not savvy enough to know about, to a friend of mine and he's going to help me figure out the parts I'll need. I learned enough to know that I only want/need a quad-core CPU. Turns out all of those fancy 6 and 8 core drives that my gamer friends are insisting on are actually way too much power for just playing video games. That kind of power is really only needed for video/photo editing. The 3.0ghz drive is just to make sure I have enough ghz moving forward for a few years of video games. Quote:

2 GB for ROM memory? That isn't much indeed. The dinosaur in question at least had 5.

... then it will be done.
I skipped the last two hours of class on Monday, but it was well worth it: I met an old friend on the way home whom I hadn't seen for ages. Turns out he even lives nearby. Yay!

Today I did some cool stuff! I felt -very- professional.
I went to teach my low-voice-girl, and got there about ten minutes before the lesson was scheduled. When I got there the owner of the theater grabbed me and said, "hey, what are you doing right this second?" I said I had a lesson in ten minutes, and she asked if I wanted to sit in and listen to the kids audition for the upcoming musical. So kids would come in, and sing for about 30 seconds... all of the kids were super talented... and between kids I had about five or ten seconds to say what I thought... basically, "Great voice, but she wont last if you give her a lead role." Or, "He could do a lead, if I could give him one or two lessons and show him how to project." It was really fun. Apparently my vocal expertise and sensitive ear impressed the theater owner, because she said she actually wants to take some lessons from me after she has the baby in five weeks. O_o She's only 28, but she's losing her high notes, and she told me that if she has a three-show weekend she loses her voice if she's performing in a show. How weird... I might give some lessons to the girl who taught ME in her summer broadway camps. |

You forgot to include the heavy breathing.

LOL, Gwai.
Don't worry, Earniel, we do lots of breathing work when I teach.... there will definitely be heavy breathing. I was going to be on a 1350 calorie a day diet so I could lose some weight, but HECK WITH THAT. My body has been like, "Hello, remember me? I WANT FOOD FROM YOU, and I wont cooperate till you give it to me." So I'm switching to a 1860 calorie a day diet. Plus I read somewhere that men really shouldn't go below around 1800 calories. O_o With as busy as I am, I just can't get everything done if I'm constantly hungry and getting headaches. So I'll lose the weight slower, but I'll still be able to focus. Hopefully. |

Sweet buggering jeebus, Anthony. 1350 calories is WAY too low for a boy!

WELL I KNOW THAT, NOW.
But yeah, seriously... I am not sure what I was thinking, aside from, "I refuse to go up another pants size." ..... |

Hi all - the date of tomorrow is special. Im gonna try to take a photo at 11.11am and thus get 5 11s.
Does that sound like something you would like to do? And perhaps post the result here. Good luck! |
