[Somensjev]

congratulations finnlassie

[FinnLassie]

So you get to... study some more? Good... I guess

Congrats though. Getting results can get stressful. I'm waiting on some, myself. Thursday. Sigh.

At least mine will only give me a pay raise

Well, I'm not too thrilled about going back on the school bench for another 3 years... But hey, I'll get a degree under my belt, and then I can look for my mega rich 99-year-old husband-to-be so I can live off my inheritance.

What, have you taken a job as one of the South African hunks or something to get some extra cash?
I have no idea why the hunks was the first thing to pop up to my mind, and now I'm imagining your avatar working his thang

congratulations finnlassie

Thank you.

Heh. I should have said "exam results" For some of my actuarial exams. My company rewards passes with pay increases and bonuses. Which is nice.

But I can hunk out when the need arises


Yeah, I wouldn't be able to study full time any more. But working towards something bigger is always nice. So... good luck I think meantime we can work on finding that husband for you. Heart condition optional?

GUYS, I GOT INTO UNIVERSITY! I'm not a huge failure in life after all! Well, maybe jus a little.

Congratulations Finn! That's awesome!

And you were never a huge failure in life. Just so you know.

Aaaaaaaay. Money.

[Groundhog]

Congrats, FinnLassie!

Also, question. Is there an index of those bear-smilies that I'm seeing everywhere?

[Qwertystop]

Congrats!

Re. bear-smilies: No, Teddy just uses those instead of the normal ones.

[EmeraldRose]

GUYS, I GOT INTO UNIVERSITY! I'm not a huge failure in life after all! Well, maybe jus a little.

Yay!!!! Congrats!

Of course, this means your alarm was wrong and you need a new one...

Re. bear-smilies: No, Teddy just uses those instead of the normal ones.

Yup. I drew them a few months ago and made a Firefox extension to rehack the smilie table in the posting area to insert them instead. I've been using them ever since!

[LaZodiac]

GUYS, I GOT INTO UNIVERSITY! I'm not a huge failure in life after all! Well, maybe jus a little.

I told you! I knew you could do it!

Seriously though stop being so negative even in your victory! You're not a failure at life, you're an awesome person and one of my best friends! Hooray!

[Solse]

Congratulations Finniefinn! I'm so happy for you. I hope it works out well for you and you learn many good things!

[Coidzor]

Congrats, FinnLassie!

Teddy made a firefox extension or something that mapped his own custom emoticons to the hyperlink buttons in the forum text editor. IIRC

GUYS, I GOT INTO UNIVERSITY! I'm not a huge failure in life after all! Well, maybe jus a little.

Congrats. Sorry it's going to be another full three years for you though.

My usual advice: Remember to read the textbook. It's definitely helpful in my life contingencies class, at least. My professor only really teaches the formulas and as separate entities. The textbook goes more conceptual, and explains how they're all the same algorithm. But in any case, as long as the professor didn't write the textbook, it usually explains it differently. So if the professor's explanations don't help, the textbook might just.

I've had teachers that teach you directly out of the textbook. They open it on their desk, then type in into a document while projecting it for us to take notes. That got really boring really fast.

[FinnLassie]

Hey, I've already spent two years at a university... I think I know what allnighters feel like.

Congrats, FinnLassie!

Congrats!

Thank you, kind peeplings.

Yay!!!! Congrats!

Of course, this means your alarm was wrong and you need a new one...

You know, EmeraldRose, that really cheered me up. Like honestly. It was like that cherry on top of a cake, though I don't like cherries on my cakes... so more like a strawberry for me. I've been feeling really down ever since moving back to Finland, and this comment really made me happy.

I told you! I knew you could do it!

Seriously though stop being so negative even in your victory! You're not a failure at life, you're an awesome person and one of my best friends! Hooray!

Same goes for you Zoozmuffin, thank you . Maybe, just on some days, I'm a little too hard on myself...

Woohoo! You rock! Are you excited?! YOU SHOULD BE!!! I'M GOING TO USE ALL CAPS FOR HYPE!!! WOOOOOO! CONGRATS!!!

IT'S A CAPS WORTHY HYPE ALRIGHT WOOOO

Congratulations Finniefinn! I'm so happy for you. I hope it works out well for you and you learn many good things!

I'll learn how to get those teenagers behave at events, that'll be.

Congrats. Sorry it's going to be another full three years for you though.

If I want to die from exhaustion, I could aim to graduate in 2,5 years. That'd mean zero summer breaks, though. So hahaha nope.

Ah, wee Razanir, as I mentioned to AT up there, I've already spent two years at uni so I get the jist of things in general, I would say. But, I thank thee for the tips anyways.

[LaZodiac]

Trust me, I know that feeling. It gets better.

[Razanir]

So the bad/annoying news. I had an exam in a night class the day before break. The good news, though, that made up for it. I got to finish a proof the most epic way possible. By writing Q.E.D. in giant letters at the bottom of the page. (I just wish it would have been the last question, not second to last)

I love when you get to answer questions in fun ways. It always brightens up a boring test/questionnaire. Just don't do it this way:

Good luck Razanir!

Meanwhile, for those of you curious about my level of sickness, I am getting better! Still got a sore stomach, but it's clearing up! A little!

I'm probably going to go to the hospital tomorrow just to make sure everything is okay. It was the stomach flu, but it hasn't gone away after two days or so so it miiight be more and I just want to make sure.

I have fond memories of writing "it depends on what X equals" for every question that happened to involve multiplication, because they were asking questions in poorly-written arithmetic and I already knew algebra. I ended up with a perfect score!

I would love to do that, but it is not something I would end up doing. I much prefer tests that have more to do with velociraptors.

I'm in Jamaica with my family right now, and we were just in a Jamaican restaurant. We saw that there was bread on the menu and asked about it. The server responded with "Oh yeah, it's amazing. It's really authentic Jamaican bread, it's really soft, you'll love it." The bread came. It was Wonder Bread.

Well... it was soft...

Ahaha have fun with that.

My logic:

It is the day before break and I am taking an exam in a night class. I think I remember this being the last question (it wasn't). I could write out "Because these three conditions are met, {Z_t} is a stationary time series." But, instead, I feel like making this more interesting. I'll just write QED in large letters at the bottom of the page instead.

[Solse]

The problem is that it was one of the only good restaurants on the island (and the rest of the food wasn't that bad). But yeah, I'm aware that some people like feeding on our ignorance. It's sad, really.

Well... it was soft...

It was. It was also American.

If by good you mean food quality, then that is an issue because Jamaican cuisine is amazing and you shouldn't be deprived of great food. If by good you mean "not seedy" well...you're not really having proper Jamaican cuisine if you don't see a guy prepare a chicken for you from fresh to food, if you catch my drift.

Note that everything I say about this subject is influenced by Anthony Bordain's show about "going to places and eating their food the correct, non tourist way" and thus I cannot be actually sure is accurate but Anthony Bordain is also a great person and No Reservations is a great show so I feel they may be accurate.

We've got some great, dramatic November fog this morning, and on that note, I'd like to add that "Herbstnebel" is a really awesome German word.

We also got subzero temperatures for the first time in all too long, so there's still hope for some actual winter to happen at least this year...

[Feytalist]

I got to finish a proof the most epic way possible. By writing Q.E.D. in giant letters at the bottom of the page.

I did that once. My proof ended up being incorrect. Imagine my shame -_-

but Anthony Bordain is also a great person

I feel like this might not be entirely true He may be a great chef, and he's certainly got a very charismatic on-screen personality, but from what I've read, he doesn't actually sound like a nice guy. (Kitchen Confidential may actually be my favourite autobiography ever.)

I'd like to add that "Herbstnebel" is a really awesome German word.

Nebel itself is a pretty awesome word. There's a cat breed called Nebelung. They even look like mist creatures.
