ULTIMATE NINJA VICTORY

However you were all "I think..." Whereas I spoke with certainty, because I spent the 2 minutes by which you ninia'd me looking it up on wikipedia.

It is a very uncommon word over here. I only know it because of this site and I read a lot. I also forgot that Thufir was an Englishman.

You WHAT?!

I am an Englishman! Behold me!

Any of these ringing any bells?
I'm about as British as they come.

It allows me to say this sentence: Dumbledore is an excellent MP.

Which one?

Penguin themed perhaps.

I have to ask: Why?

I've been nicknamed 'troubs' (short for 'troubadour')

That is an excellent nickname.

For some reason all my College math classes were at 7am or earlier.

That's insane. Nothing here starts before 9am. Because we're sensible like that.

ION: Second night of Ruddigore also good, but the stage crew had serious issues dealing with the lights and the curtains. There was a blackout which went on so long I iust started giving my lines, and assumed the lights would come up soon enough (Which they did, but still). And then they accidentally switched off the lights at the end of the act 2 finale, and then shut the curtains immediately afterwards, far too early. Whereas by comparison during the curtain call we were standing there like lemons for ages waiting for them to close the curtains again.

The one on the left looks kind of familiar

My first year of college I had early classes... Then I knew better...

One of my 8am classes... Professor had the same accent and head shape of Elmer Fudd (with the balding too). He was the head of the department too... One time he turned and asked us to be quiet, and the group that was being loud started laughing. "That's mean", I thought to myself, "Sure, I'll think it, but I won't laugh right to the guy's face about it.'"

He wasn't good at teaching... He was there mostly to do research.

[AtlanteanTroll]

Looks like my problems were resolved while I was at Play Practice.

They share ONE pair of electrons.
One of the answers is Mixture
One single paired bond.
One of the answers is Compound
Anyone else palming their face right about now?

I-I-I ... *crys*

...

Well now I want to stab this teacher. D= That just...WHY!?

I have no idea myself.

[Starfols]

Hey, guess who just got a shiny new phone? It can access the internet anywhere! Maybe I can get my posts up to one per day!
best not get ahead of myself :p

[Eon]

Nice Starfols, I need to catch up on my posting, although I'm not sure if that would be appreciated...

I'm supposed to be studying right now, but y'know, just can't do it...

[AtlanteanTroll]

I'm supposed to be studying right now, but y'know, just can't do it...

Me too, I have an English and Science test tomorrow. Also the PSAT on Wednesday. Party.

[Cobalt]

Yikes, I've never had classes that early. In all my schooling, I've never even heard of a class that starts before 9AM...

Heh. The reason I have to get up at 4:30 every morning[/funfactsaboutcobalt] is because classes at (my) high school start at around 7:00. The creaking bus that takes me there drives by at 6:00, and there's an untold amount of work to be done each morning, so if it seems like that's a bit earlier than necessary, consider the fact that I actually needed more time than that this morning. Barely caught the bus, I did, running out the door.

[Rae Artemi]

But today is Wednesday!

[AtlanteanTroll]

But today is Wednesday!

Next Wednesday.

[Fifty-Eyed Fred]

W00t, Theatre Society pub crawl = awesome.

I'm glad my lectures and seminars are all Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday. I'm allowed to wake up as late as I like tomorrow and not do anything all day.

Trade me places?

[Fifty-Eyed Fred]

Trade me places?

Absolutely not, sir! I'm rather happy with mine.

Besides, if you're worried about an English test then I can't see you fancying an English degree.

But you have tomorrow off

It's not that I' m worried about English, it's that Science has kept me from studying for as long as I should've. The test is all extended response about This Boy's Life. Personally, I think Tobias Wolff is a giant ass.

I have never heard of him.

[AtlanteanTroll]

I have never heard of him.

Aren't you lucky.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Hooray for only having school two days a week!

[Gullara]

Hooray for only having school two days a week!

Don't rub it in

My schedule is pretty good though. 9:30 to 1:30 in Monday, Wednesday, Friday and 10:00 to 11:15 on on tuesday, Thursday.

[KerfuffleMach2]

I got 8:30 AM to 8:30 PM Tuesday and Thursday.

Course, I also still work 40+ hours a week.

[AtlanteanTroll]

I'm still stuck with 8-3 Mon to Friday,

[Thufir]

I remember having timetables like that... *Nostalgia*
Of course, now I can get up as late as I like every day, but that means it loses its novelty, and it doesn't feel as good when the reason you never need to be up in the mornings is because you're dragging your feet when it comes to applying for iobs.

[Phase]

8-5, with College Bowl, DnD, and Drama club extending it to 7 pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays.

On that note, I was unfortunately unable to convince the Drama Club to make this year's play H.M.S. Pinafore, though we did do some readings. Looks like it'll probs be Oklahoma. Ce la vie.

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

I'm writing a punk song in french. It's going well, cause rhyming in french is sooooo easy! Or at least, les rimes pauvres are.

[Thajocoth]

Hey, anyone have any idea how to find out the "cost of living" somewhere? The last economics course I've taken was when we learned the difference between quarters and pennies in Kindergarten...

Talk to someone who lives there?

Thanks, that's almost useful.

Unfortunately, Irvine California is missing from their list... And I don't know what I should have for salary right now or where I should be comparing as my current location. I just know it's lower than it should be, right now.

[Zeb The Troll]

Try this one then.

In my online search, I discovered that all the information I really needed was with me all along...

(Game Developer Magazine, April issue: Salary Survey Report. This was near my desk, in a drawer. Thanks for the links though!)

[CurlyKitGirl]

There're subiect teas in four hours, and I'm meeting my kid for the first time. Let me iust say hello to my approaching attack of nerves.
"Hello."

IRN: I finally have a topic and arguments for my essay! So when I get my butt down to do some more secondary reading I'll be able to write it up pretty darn quick.
Got to remember to find a iay somewhere though.

ION:
I did something moderately computer literate last night!
I defragged my laptop.
I feel so proud of myself.
