I'm begining to feel a bit like that, my exam tomorrow is going to be grim I think. The subject manages to combine complex concepts with really unpleasant maths, but on the plus side the answers look like something you might find on a blackboard in a scifi B-movie

Oh...Gosh darn it!!...Poot!! and other swearwords!!...

I do like a nice slice of Gambon... ...

Heh...See what I did there?... ...

I want to bash someones face in....
Also I read a few things about it, it's not out yet and it's already breaking lore!

If they, by some reality-breaking chance, release it to the PS3 and/or XBox, then I'll tolerate it. Otherwise....

I just saw this picture, and I could not help but go "AWWWWWWWWWWWW"

REVAN...you better stay this time (actually so should I) I'll guess I'll bu updating one of my Delvanni fics today....about time I do so I think

Not of to a good start....
I could not sleep but I managed to fall asleep at around 4am, yet it feels like I have not slept a wink, I know I'll ace the first exam, since the teacher let us do the whole open notes thing.

The second exam? I'm really not sure, I just want to get everything done with and go to sleep!

I feel for you, hope it all worked out.

lmfao

That was me this semester in chem lab. No poisonings or fires so I think I'm ahead.

I hope everyone is doing well... or at least okay. And to those of you with exams coming up, good luck! I've got English reading and listening next week, but I don't really think I'll have much trouble with that.

TES Online... Why do I feel skeptical simply by hearing the name? Seriously, when I first read the name all I could feel was this warning siren in the back of my head. It sounds strange, but that's the only way I can describe it.

The main reason to why I haven't been very active lately is that I've had a lot on my mind, and when I get a lot on my mind I have a very hard time to come up with anything to write. I've also had a lot of schoolwork, and I've had a hard time sleeping at the right times. You do not want to fall asleep on the buss when you're getting of at the third stop, and that's just one example.

Never the less, all of that time to think has made me reach a decision. Which is why I a few days ago submitted my new application for the gymnasium. If everything goes as it should, I'll be beginning my first year at the animal gymnasium in Stockholm next term, and though it means I'll have to redo my first year, I really think it's the right thing for me to do. Choosing technology was a severe mistake, because I hate maths, and my coursework involve more maths than I ever thought was possible. Aside from that, the organisation skills at my school is crap, several of the teachers don't know how to communicate, and most of them just rub me the wrong way, as you say. And well, working with animals used to be my dream(together with becoming an author). I've always loved animals, and merely being close to them tends to cheer me up. Or well, my pets do a least.

And speaking of pets, I let Curry out almost daily. And every time he takes of flying he lands on my radio which is on my desk, slightly higher than my computer screen. Often he also flies the short way to my computer screen to sit on it, probably wondering what I'm doing. Curry is the splendid parakeet I posted pics on a few months ago, in case you don't remember him. Obviously he's now living in my room, and he's looking quite disheveled right now because he's in the process of loosing his old feathers for the feathers of an adult.

Anyway, I just wanted to post some kind of update, and it became really long

Good luck with all that... ...

The parakeet sounds cool though...Hope the animal thing comes through...Working - as I do - with cows doesn't really bring out the same "Awwww" feelings that some other animals can... ...

And I know exactly what you mean with this...



I can totally empathise with this...

Number of Robert's sons affected by a virus since saturday = 1

Number of words to Robert's stories written since saturday = 0

So yeah, something gets you, then creativity goes out the window...

Good luck with it all, and do what you can, when you can...

...

Oh boy do I know how you feel, I been somewhat mentally exhausted, I'll forget what I'm talking about, and I almost feel down a few times, I blame the wind for that though, we been getting really strong wind/rain/hail, I tend to blank out a few times a day so I can't even attempt to write.
But you know the mean part, when I'm in bed my brain starts playing out whole chapters of my story! , Then when I try to write them it's all blank
So because of it, I feel burnt out, so I'm going to take a break from school, and...become a cop ;o! Granted I need to be 21 to enter the Academy, so this semester that I take a break I'm going to be working and saving up money! Of course next semester I'll be taking classes at the Academy. Of course I'm going to come back to college, but well I been thinking, a lot o.O

On the bright side! I'm going out on a date Saturday, let's see how it goes

Yes the whole RL eating all else thing. I thought I might be more active since I finished taught classes uni but as it turns out two of my exams were moderately hard and sleeping through about two thirds of the chemistry lectures means I have to try and stay awake reading the notes now... Still a week on Monday I am essentially finished my undergrad (and masters, for various funding reasons doing them concurrantly is nessecary) so should have time to read, comment more fully, write, party and travel.

But yeah good luck in exams those who have them. And remember summer is nearby

On a more positive note, it's nice to get acceptance letters. I'm looking foward to living in Galveston next year. Nearby beaches, decomissioned naval ships, and one of the busiest ports in the United States should be interesting. I know some people within 50 miles too if I need rescuing. The only thing I'd change is having the option to do Army ROTC rather than play midshipman for a year, but you can't have it all.

Wish y'all the best on your exams.

Yay for rescuing!

On a even MORE positive note, I passed two of my classes, still waiting for the grade to be posted for the other one

Hooray for everyone wrapping up school for the term! And an even larger shout-out for the success in doing so! Congrats to all of you.

Different note:

Wanted to say Happy Mother's Day to all the moms here at Chorrol. The kids may not always express it well- but they need and love you deeply. Every day SHOULD be "Mother Appreciation Day," but take all the pampering you can get on this one.

Miss you, Mom.

Ahhh yes, you guys in US celebrate Mother's day TODAY! yay that's sweet, in sweden we celebrate it the last sunday in May...so I feel like I can feel celebrated TWO times per year! AWESOOOOOOME!

Happy Motherboard day!

Er....I mean happy mothers day! Technically here where I live we celebrate it twice, once in the 10th that's when they celebrate it in Mexico and then when we celebrate it in the US.

Either way, here is a mothers day related comic that is so true!

Good news everyone! My internet is back! I can get more time on the forums! Update my stories! Read and comment on other peoples' stories! Communicate again!

Hooray!

yay

Today, New Mexico got top viewing of an 80% Annular Solar Eclipse. I was able to catch a brief glimpse of it before it disappeared behind the mountains. Two seconds of my life I will never forget.

Mustard - YAY!

TK - pretty awesome aren't they. If your into that sort of thing there's a transit of Venus on the 5th/6th (depending on where you are) of June. There won't be another until 2117 so it's the last chance (and the next generation probably won't see one). The fact that this is seen as an excuse for a Venus themed party says something about science students...

More good news everyone, I've finished uni. Last exam yesterday so just waiting for marks though it would be astonishing if I don't get a first. This means I have until September to have fun. Current thought is Vienna to Istanbul by bus through the Balkans. And maybe a trip accorss the south of England kipping on friends' sofas. And a couple of cycle tours of Scotland planned. And probably a few trips up the hill. Maybe a trip to the Netherlands too... frankly I'm writing down every idea I can come up with.

Congrats Olen! I remember how I felt when I finally graduated vet school - that felt like forever!

For some reason my MBA program doesn't feel so difficult, though I do find plenty to stress about. For example, midterm this week . . .

I've completed my core courses and am now working on my HA classes - the first one is this session. I have five more classes to go before I get my next degree, so I'll probably finish up next May sometime. I have to take a minimum of four HA courses, so for the other two I'll probably do nonprofit management.

And Olen, isn't the idea stage fun? Oh, I want to do this, and that, and go over there . . .
Then comes the logistics part!

Olen, congratulations!! Your summer maybes sound tremendous. Now I have a serious case of adventure envy.

Congrats, everybody. I turned in my notebook with all my assignments in 2nd semester of PAP Anatomy & Physiology today. My teacher said she was impressed I only lack 5 assignments. Gee, thanks. No, I deserved that.

With that, all that's left of high school is graduation. I can't imagine what it's like for the people that went all twelve years on this campus.

You had Physio in high school?? I didn't have that until COLLEGE!!

Anatomy and physio, ahh, that brings back memories. Have you had comparative anatomy? That's really cool stuff, and I learned a great deal of how dragons should be put together. And embryology was a blast. But that's just me, a bio geek.

I'll be up front that A&P was my worst class. No, our only advanced living science classes were human anatomy and AP biology. My class did disect earthworms and cats. We spent months on the cats >.< My eyes do not respond well to formaldehyde.

I did better with the anatomy side. Things like blood composition, lymphatic system, and respiration went over my head a bit.

My AP Biology class (back in the Stone Age) was fourth period, which was split with lunch in the middle. We dissected cats at the end of the year, during spring track season. I had a great time with my lab partner and our cat Fluffy, but at lunch we all smelled like formaldehyde and I couldn’t eat. By senior beach week I had to buy a new bathing suit so that I could keep the top up. “Starved” was not the look I was going for. Damn cat!!

College physiology made me decide that dragons must use magic to fly.

@Lord R: the formaldehyde didn't agree with my NOSE! I had bloody post-nasal drip after every session! Ugh!

@Grits: my college physio class convinced me that dragons coevolved with birds from the ornithosaurs.

First two exams are now done. Brain is still kind of coming up for air after those. Five more to go after that, and then I'm free.

Gwuh.

And I'm with haute ecole rider on the dragons point. Dragons are awesome. Dinosaurs are also awesome. Therefore, dragons must have come from dinosaurs. That's the sort of science you just can't argue with.

Today was a great day. Yesterday was graduation. A bunch of friends and family attended, and my best cousin arrived at midnight. Today we had a brunch at a nearby country club. Afterwards a bunch of guys and I went shooting shotguns. Some of the guys and I hadn't seen each other in awhile so we had fun reconnecting. It was my cousin's and a boy's first time with shotguns, so it was a fun experience for them. Someone even got my mom to shoot a couple of shots (never would have accomplished that myself).

I am beat. Goodnight, y'all. Best wishes.

Glad you had a good day, sounds like a good way to celebrate.

Good times here too, best weather I've ever seen in Edinburgh I think. It's almost creepy to look up and see no clouds, makes me wonder what's holding all that blue stuff up and if it might fall Great timing for the finish of exams, lots of barbaques and sitting in the sun (at the first flash of warmth and sunlight Scots immediately buy disposable BBQs, awful sausages and booze and sit in parks getting sunburnt).

Also just got the keys to my new flat. It might be the flat that time forgot as I can't see that anything has changed there in 40 years, certainly not the decor. Still 70s must be due to pop into fashion soon right? It even has one of those gas ovens you have to light with a match - you know from when filling an enclosed space with flamible gas and putting your arm in to light it was still a good idea.

It's so surreal, how a person can be there one moment, and gone the next. How do you ever get past something like that..?

During the night between the 28th and 29th of May my father's father died of a heart-attack. And that's just the most recent death this year. How must his brothers feel? I can barely stop crying, but his brothers have now lost their uncle, mother and eldest brother all within a few months. My father's dad was 70, and they were just planning his birthday party, but now there'll be another funeral. We know it was quick, and he didn't feel much pain (if any), but that doesn't feel like that big a comfort. My other granddad was sick last year, and my grandmothers husband(mother's mother's husband) got sick this year and there was talk about lung-cancer. Thankfully, that was not the case, but there's been so much...

I want to say that I'm happy for those of you who're graduating/have graduated and all that, but I just can't be happy right now. Congratulations, though...

So sorry to hear about your loss, Saquira.

...

Aww hells... ...

Many condolences to you and your family...

Sympathy to you and yours, Saquira. I'm sorry for your loss.

Sorry Saquira. What a hell of a year.

I'm sorry, Saquira. May your family treasure your time together all the more.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Saquira. My sympathy goes out to you and your family.

Sympathies Saquira, sorry to hear that.

Thank you guys...

My thoughts are with you, Saquira. One of the (questionable) advantages of coming from a small family is that I did not have to deal with loss too frequently.

There can be no comparison of pain or grief. What I will say is- know that we are here for you.
