We have to do one interview per person. One of my partners was going to interview his own psychologist, and I was going to go with our other partner to talk to the people at my school's counseling center. Sounded like a plan. Except today he told me that he doesn't want to interview his psychologist because he got in trouble and she might be mad at him. Also, he...failed to mention how busy the counseling center is even though he apparently knew about this, so we could only manage to get one appointment. And he made it while I'm in class. So the appointment is his.

MY PARTNER SLEPT THROUGH HIS APPOINTMENTS -TWICE- SO NONE OF US HAVE INTERVIEWS HA-HA-HA-HA

The interview grades are individual, except I won't have the information that could have helped us write our paper, and I can't get an interview myself despite emails/visits to offices. Those interviews he missed could have been mine. I would have been set. Never be nice to group members ever.

35 Mechanics of Materials problems to do, I've done a grand total of half of one.

While I still have plenty of time to finish them all (got until Tuesday night to finish them), doom and regret will begin to kick in really soon because of these problems, especially while I work on them all.

Oh, then even more doom will set in over the next two weeks, because I'm potentially doing all of my five midterms in the span of a single day. I hope at least the Mechanics exam gets moved to Friday because I am *not* doing that shit on an overloaded exam day.

Haven't done anything on a while. Feeling lazy and nervous. I probably didn't anything because I'm feeling nervous about an upcoming thing, ugh. I wish I could just relax and not give any fuck, but unfortunately, everything makes me nervous.

"Hey! It's sunny and nice! Think I'll go outside since I haven't done that all year!"

"Oh stupid bastard tick, get off my belly!"

"....That's a not awesome looking rash around that bite there...."

"Oh hey sore throat, where'd you come from? You brought your friends headache, diarrhea and fatigue with you?"

Guess I'll be seeing the doctor now.

I feel really depressed lately and have no idea why. :c

Feeling pretty shitty because its been getting harder and harder for me to actually do things and I don't know why. Even things I want or need to do.

Also feeling super nervous, almost cripplingly so, because of a psychology paper and presentation due wednesday which i've barely started.

I have a large paper due on my life after college and my financial plans. I'm unable to go out and do anything so I should have time to do this, oh wait Dark Souls ate up my entire(which I made no progress in either really)

EDIT: It appears I'm not the only one with this problem, heh.

It feels like I'm being stabbed in the stomach and trying to turn over or sit up makes the pain so much more worse.

Really frustrated at the moment. I know exactly what I want to sprite but each time I try it comes out completely wrong and still looks terrible and I don't really know what to do, and this place I'm looking to get a job at wants me to come in to interview, but each time I try, like this morning I stayed home yesterday(Sunday) so I could go in before my classes this morning and try and they just told me they don't have time to even talk to me, and to come in the next day or so...and I've told them repeatedly until May 4th M-F I am up at school and can't, but they just ignore that blissfully.

my Web Administration teacher is literally the hugest fucking cunt in the world. I understand the strong implications of that word and I'm typically not the type to sling that word around, but this guy's definitely earned it.

He's a really smart guy - I'll give him that - and actually comes into class every day and can talk about each topic off the top of his head. As incredible as that is, that's also his biggest caveat - he's extremely disorganized, hard to follow and his assignments are literally hundreds of times harder than grasping the lecture due to him not talking about them at all (talks about how to put together a basic cookie in Javascript, then asks us to make a complex form using Javascript that migrates data across pages, with form validation...we never talked about validation, and data migration is difficult unless you have a server that the site can "talk" back to...so theoretically impossible without knowledge of ASP and MySQL. Assigns it anyway and expects a two-week due date)
He's also extremely arrogant and immature during his lectures, returning good questions with juvenile answers and either talking over students or rushing them through questions to get through the jargon-riddled Asperger's-fueled lecture he's literally giving off the top of his bald head with the most pathetic combover I've ever seen.

he also has a great practice of telling us that there is homework, but never actually declares that the online submission box is open and doesn't make a due date for the assignment until the day it's due; which most of us are too busy with our lives to actually put time aside to work on his monolith homework assignments.

and don't even get me started on his tests.
he's probably the worst person to ever exist.

That's typed verbatim, preserving grammatical errors and all.
Now here's the kicker: You're not allowed to power on the computer in front of you, and you can't use your notes. You can only use pen and paper.

Excuse me, what

Even the star pupil of the class got a 20 (out of 100) on the test. We can go back through and do all the parts of the test correctly and hand it in on the final to receive up to 10 extra points on the final exam. However, the final grade will replace the lowest grade we've received thus far (the second test)

What a fucking dick.

Due to the fact that I've missed two assignments due to the teacher never stating it in class, I don't think anyone's going to be passing.

however, something else I should mention:
The head of that department made me the deal that if I could pass this class, that I'd have two classes that I actually need to graduate waived. I think by now he's forgotten this verbal pact he'd made with me, so now I've essentially flushed $300 down the toilet.
The thing is, my teacher IS the head of the department.

Fuck.

well, at least i've got an 89 and 100 in my other two classes - the latter having an optional final because I hold a 100 in his class.
I don't really care if I pass or fail at this point either way; I'd still have to take the "career advancement" seminar they make you take at the end of your program next semester. Now, I've got a more balanced schedule with one 100-level class and the other a Windows Server class being taught by the greatest teacher in the CIS department.
What's more is that my friend is actually working hard to adjust her schedule to fit mine (what?)

i also plan to audit an ASM class in the fall, lets fuckin do this

oh that's weird

my group in this class i'm probably going to fail is literally the coolest group in the class (we had asked the teacher to pair us together, and somehow he actually did)

I actually do a large amount of the groupwork, coding each part of our website in front of them as they drop suggestions and opinions while I'm working. Over the weekends they'll work on their own individual segments of the website, which are still kinda small in comparison to the work I've done on it
But once again, they're really good moral support (surprise - we're all friends anyway!) and are always full of good suggestions. There's technical aspects to our websites we have to tackle and it's awfully close to the project's due date (2 weeks! FUCK) and I feel like I still haven't done anything ~_~

maybe you should move over here and i'll be your group partner and we'll get shit done together

lol double post
but on top of this, my pokemon game night event at the library was a success (over 40 people showed up!) however, my copy of soulsilver got swiped.

fucking little brats



i just got another copy off ebay (game only) for $18 which is a steal, and i backed up my save anyway in case something like this happened anyway so i'm not too mad, this actually worked out extremely fucking well

i didn't lose my pokewalker or anything, so nobody's ever gonna know

i somehow think writing a 6 page essay on a novel would be easier if i read the novel

what about sparknotes or some shit like that?

Meh, have shit to get done and not in the mood to do it at all...gotta buckle down though...it's not too hard, only like a paper and a coding assignment, but I just want this semester to be over. Last week of classes is next week, finals are week after; both at 8.30 but dif days, just ugh.

Nothin' beats watching the girl you intended to ask out walk into class hand-in-hand with another dude. Ruined my fucking buzz.

just walk it off sir, i'm pretty sure there are other girls you might be interested.
