Post how your day was… (NEW)

Insider2000

I'm…the luckiest person....ever...

Okay, this is my first week of class. I have class M-Thurs. Tues, Wed, and Thurs is pretty decent and fair. MONDAYS I'm in class from 9:30 am to 9:30 pm, which kind of sucks, but it's not all that bad.

However, this past weekend, people were in panic saying, "OH MY GOD! THERE'S A HUGE SNOW STORM COMING! SCHOOLS, AIRPORTS, AND THE WORLD IS GOING TO CLOSE DOWN". I always take this with a grain of salt because 99.999% of the time, the world disappoints me.

Long story short, I wake up today. I look outside. Not a drop of snow. It was empty as death valley on a cold day in June when the snow don't fall. But, with hope, I checked my university website.

Schools closed. No seriously. The storm that was supposed to land on top of me like a freight train has barely dropped snow on me, and school is closed!

And that's not even the best part. Mondays, I have two classes that I only have on Monday (the earliest class and the latest class), and one I have on Monday AND Wednesday.

Next week is Martin Luther King Day. I DON'T HAVE MONDAY CLASS FOR TWO WEEKS!

Fucking sweet!

EDIT: HOLY MOTHER OF FUCK! THIS JUST IN: Insider2000 needs to put on his fucking glasses/contacts when he wakes up in the morning to check snow. I CAN'T SEE THE STREETS OUTSIDE! MOTHER FUCKING SNOWBALL FIGHT GOING DOWN TODAY!

My first deed of this GLORIOUS Snow Day shall be to play Starcraft II until my family wakes up.

So… My brother called me in the morning while I was still sleeping. When I saw he called I immediatly knew something was wrong. Because he NEVER calls me. We usually send text messages or communicate via Internet. So I knew, something must have been very wrong.

I tried to call him but he didn't pick up. Perhaps he was at work or Uni. Wrote him a "Did something happen?" message.
15Minutes ago he called me back. His voice already gave away that something bad happened. Before he told me what was wrong he fuckin apologised for ruining my day. Damn it.
Well. Our Grandma is dead. She had a stroke last week, was in Hospital and died this morning.

... yeah. I feel so sorry for him. I wish I could take all his pain. Our grandparents raised him since he was 3. So they are like his parents. I can only imagine how it must be to lose a parent. I can only imagine how it would feel if I lose my dad. And that makes me cry to no end.

I almost had no connection to my grandparents. Of course when I was younger and my mother and I visited them.
A lot of things happened. My mother manipulated me much and always told me that these two are bad people. What of course was weird. What a mother would give his own son to people she hates and that are suposed to be bad?....
But well. My mind was infected with the thought of "These people are bad". I was afraid of them.
My brother always told me that they want to talk to me. I refused. I said I have to be ready to do that. It's a huge step for me. When you get told bad stories about people over 19years, of course you soon start to believe these stories. Especially when these stories tell you that you are not liked by them. That you are just the "second born worthless child". And then suddenly everything was a lie? I wanted to know the truth but I kept avoiding visiting them. Why? I don't know anymore.
So now I kind of missed my change. That's what I regret now.

So... I want to visit my brother soon and be there for him. That's all I can do now. And I want to be there at the funeral. So I can perhaps at least talk to my Grandpa. I don't know if he wants to see me now, so.. that makes me afraid again. I mean I haven't seen my granparents for years and now that one is dead I visit. This is.. kind of cruel of me, isn't it?

Hopefully my mother will not find out, that grandma is dead. She would laugh and be happy about it. Just the thought of this makes me unbelievable mad.

MDL

hugs nami tightly

i'm really really sorry for what's happened ;_;

i'm sure that if you're as sincere as possible, and even apologise for not visiting sooner, your grandpa won't think anything ill of you, and that's if there was ever even a risk of that in the first place!
I'm positive he WILL appreciate it if you visit them and go to the funeral.

It doesn't matter how late it is, if you still have the chance to show that you care, then take it!

i hope your brother will be ok, something like this will not be easy for him to mentally overcome. make sure to give him lots of love =[

i hope you'll all be ok, i wish you all the best =]

Nami

Thank you very much for your kind words. It really helps me. Next few weeks won't be easy, I guess.

hugs back :)

Flux

I'm sorry Nami. I know someone else whose Grandma passed today; they were equally devestated. I hope from here it only goes upwards for you :)

Nami

nice coincidence xD

MDL

the grandma on my mothers side died of un-noticed cancer in 2005, and i was so broken that i missed a week of school. =[

also, both of my grandfathers died when i was very little, so i have no memory of them at all.
luckily the grandma on my dads side and my step-granddad eric are still going strong.

Just gave my kitten a bath today, it went a lot better than I expected. She didn't claw or bite, or put up much of a fight, but she wasn't happy either. Poor stinky kitty! I gave her treats afterwards.

At least she's back to her normal fluffy self again. And she smells good now =3

trappedolphin

Reached school a little late for my one lecture of the day. Spent it listening to the lecturer talk about constipation and how being able to produce faeces effectively as a child will lead to better productivity when you grow up. Classy.

Dental soon.

Insider2000

Tuesday will have icy rain. Not even the salt streets will be safe.

School is closed again.

I really shouldn't be this lucky. I don't deserve it.

EDIT: And now my Wednesday classes are cancelled. JESUS CHRIST!

ziesha

Mine day was okay types but i ventured it to be an awesome day !

trappedolphin

My day started out pretty great, thanks to the IRC chat and Community (which is a fantastic show, by the way. Definitely voting it for the awards). It got a little worse when I went to school and discovered that the lecturer for one of my modules had apparently changed the required text, but I'd bought the first textbook before the change, which means wasted money.

I was a little frustrated until I met a close friend of mine who gave me something that completely brightened up my entire week.

Once again, rubbishy webcam quality, yadda yadda yadda.

You may not be able to tell exactly what that is, so I'm going to be a wonderfully nice person and tell you.

! It's a Lilo & Stitch ink stamp & pad set. It has three Stitch stamps and three stamps of that alien that Stitch's in love with. I can't stop bouncing up and down.
! How old am I? Too old for this kind of reaction.
! Do I care? No.
! I HAVE A LILO & STITCH INK STAMP/PAD.

LaCaSiNa

That really is pretty awesome, trappy! I have a stuffed Stitch toy which I sleep with, so I'm not going to judge you.

Days like this are the reason I like being in film school. All we did in the morning was watch clips of different movies and then discuss about them in terms of editing. Luch, then mostly a note-taking class about color correction. We also practised it with Final Cut Pro. After that school was done, but I still had a meeting with my short film group.

Also did some exercising.

Silent K

Since I'm dead tired 24/7 because of a lack of thyroid hormones in my body and the medicine not completely compensating for that yet I called in sick for school.
Got to my parents house yesterday evening and apparently, the entrance roads to the village my dorm is in were threatened by flooding from rainfall in Belgium going downstream again this morning.

I'm really happy since that's the second time in two weeks I missed the flooding by 12 hours at most by calling in sick and going home…
If I hadn't, I could have been stuck there for the weekend.
Also, I managed to get permission to do only 5 exams in the coming weeks, with the hard ones being delayed until my hormone level is back to normal, which is going to be around April 1st. :D

RPG KING

I got to school earlier than usual and behind on lab work for school. I got time to study and got ahead of my homework. Anthen I went to my TKD class were I got worked by my master thats a girl

Yesterady the postman tried to deliever a package to me. I had to show him my pass to get it, but since this is usually never required he apparently didn't really know how to work this out with his scanner-thingie. He clicked on something that he shouldn't have.
The upshot was that, even though he had seen my pass and I was already holding the package in my hands, I wasn't allowed to keep it. He said he'd try again next time.
I didn't mind as much, everyone makes mistakes.

Today I got an email (titled "We have something that belongs to you") bascially blaming ME that the delivery attempt failed and asking me if I was still interested in getting the package.
It's not what you say, but how you say it. They basically were like "yeah, you screwed up big time, but if you ask us nicely we might consider trying to deliver the package once more."
What.

Flux

@Nia:

(titled "We have something that belongs to you")

If I got an email titled so I'd assume some group of Terrorists had kidnapped a family member.

But yeah that was pretty douchebaggy. Everything is so 'Redtape' these days. Some times it gets so retarded like as you said the package had actually physically been delivered to you but some idiot tiny technicalities actually took it back out of your hands and away.

lol yeah.
I almost deleted it because I thought it was spam.

Right, it's so unnecessary!
I'm not blaming the poor guy for pressing one wrong button or anything, but one tiny mistake like that shouldn't stop him from delivering the package. There should be a "return" button to start the process over or something like that.
He looked so frustrated, too … before he left he even asked me if I needed the package right away. I think if I had said "yes" he might have given it to me anyway, risking to get in serious trouble.

D: that sucks srsly.

Relaxing but I have to prepare a presentation for math whitch ruins the whole day. Oh, and it's 10°C and sunny here. Weird for January.

Well, I'm feeling the usual depression and emptiness today but now that void is filled with Mario Golf for the Nintendo 64 and honestly, I feel alive as a result.

Carry on.

RE : @Flux:

My day wasn't very good. I'm not usually very open about sharing problems, but here it goes.

! See I Twitter, and I have like 200 followers; my friend joined recently. I found out he's really religious. Not one of the religious nutjobs who hates 'gays' and won't watch Harry Potter cus it's devil-like, but he has a complex about it; he believes strongly and imagines all Athiests as moustache twirling villains who DON'T understand and thus make fun of them.
! Anyhow, I tweet all kind of random crap, and I tweeted this joke that went down pretty well; I saw a girl completely rage in swear words because Justin Bieber wouldn't reply to her, so I wrote 'Beliebers can get so damn psychotic at times cus they devote their lives to someone who won't talk back; like Christians.' - witty, not serious, quick punchline. But then one problem arose.
! Now, I'm not Athiest, I don't even know what I am, I'm leaning towards Agnostic, but I wasn't serious and really only used Christians as an mock example, anything could be slotted in there. Every other person took it as the simple joke it was.
! But he sees it and; pent up with the complex rages on me and completely overreacts and swears at me. And then I jokingly mention that he 'started to sound like on of those crazy Christian extremists who hates gays and thinks Harry Potter is the devil' and we got into a whole argument that involved me quoting Laura Mallory:
! "The reason why Harry Potter is a terrorist threat, for the spells in the books are speical codes for terrorist groups in the middle east. The characters represent well known terrorist who have attack our borders. This is why we should ban these books from our schools. So, that no child would be influence by these materials of mass killings on a free country." - This is ridiculous, the spells are Latin.
! Anyway he thinks I'm stereotyping all Christians (cus of the complex) even though I made very clear I was only talking extremists. But he then said the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard, in his argument 'There's no such thing as extremism in religion' O_O
! And it really annoys me cus one of the most irritating things is when someone believes you hold the opposite views you actually hold. I believe anyone can be what they want; sexuality; gender(operation if they want) ; and believe in any religion they want to. I would have just as readily made a joke about athiests. And earlier, he had made a joke about rape. Usually we take each others jokes as not serious but because of the inferiority complex he has about his religion; he excepts and takes it seriously.
! Anyway Now we're not speaking. He does this like every two weeks or so. It's really got me down; I want him as a friend, but if he can't see that he did more wrong (via the flaming, swearing and massive reaction, me) then I dunno if it's worth it.

/Problems. Anyway, it's really got me down.

This.

After 17 days my friend finally apologised in order to make amends. (Just about like 20 minutes ago) He was pretty mean; so since I just haven't communicated with him. I understand he takes his religion pretty seriously and why he could've got offended by the joke; but I'm just glad he hasn't let it ruin our friendship ^_^

Sorry to be late. Glad to hear that, Silent.

Cuddles' Day: Welp, any of you guys ever try to change your lifestyle in the course of a week (at least the small but significant part), start feeling ill from it because it feels like your own brain doesn't recognize you, have the change fail due to no fault of your own, and now have your brain trying to juggle which identity is which?
That's how it is for me.
Strangely, it's painless.
I feel icky, but I don't feel like banging my head into the wall or anything like that.
I'm still feeling bouts of Invidia, but it's not too bad.
Especially when no one's happiness lasts forever.

Movie maker sucks.

I don't really know any (free) video editors. For simple work, I use Avidemux but I doubt that's good for you.

(I used to use Vegas Pro and Ulead. Unfortunately, you have to pay for these (or download)).

i'm downloading adobe premiere elements 9.0, i'll see if that's easy enough to use.

Uck, now I'm having something that's like a mid-life crisis and a second puberty combined.
No despair this time (not a lot, anyway), but GOD am I antsy.
Also, I wonder if I've grown up to be a person of any substance.

Well, my day is SUCKING so far…

I just handed in a massive paper to my teacher, think i wrote around 20 pages. And as it turns out, i've written about the wrong subject. Yeah. I've spent 2 weeks busting my ass, over a wrong. freaking. SUBJECT! I'm just so pissed right now, since my teacher is a complete ass about it and won't give me a second chance. She'll just fail me instead. Woopie.

MDL

^ WTF! That's some bullshit right there…

what kind of teacher doesn't acknowledge effort when they see it?
someone like you doesn't deserve to fail, because it's obvious that you tried. hard.

surely there must be someone you can see, someone who can overturn the fail?
I would have probably broken down in your position, this is such an injustice.

MagiciteKefka

I'm gonna go and talk to some other teachers tomorrow, and maybe even the principal, because this is just bullshit. I've always disliked this particular teacher, but this is just retarted.

Mastello

Sorry about the rant, but speaking of shitty teachers…

I study electrical engineering and since October I've had a new teacher in my primary subject. The problem is that he's seriously the biggest motherfucker I've ever met in my life. Because of that selfish and incompetent bastard my whole class's studying motivation has dropped to zero. And that's bad considering we're the school's top class.

So recently we've started to rebel against him. Fortunately the guy annoys even the fellow teachers so yesterday one volunteered to speak on our behalf to him. Of course today our teacher gave us a long lecture about how everything is our own fault.

Without him knowing we still have a meeting with the principal next week but I'm afraid there's nothing that can be done since the only real solution would be to fire him for good.

Oh shit! That's like one of my worst nightmares right there: Missing the topic when writing an important paper/test. Though it's not quite like what happened to you.

I hope you'll get them to accept it somehow!

I did absolutely nothing today! I was bored so I decided to clean my room & my closet. Got rid of clothes that I no longer wear anymore & found lots of unworn clothes aha. I have issues - I buy clothes and not end up wearing them at all. lol.

it pisses me off so much that whenever i start to have an awesome dream, it's time for my mother to wake me up.

i want to have at least one epic dream in peace, why must i be cursed with never getting to watch one all the way through? B|

MagiciteKefka

Well, i went and talked to the principal, and he was extremely… bitchy.

He told me to just do what the teacher says and that there is nothing he can do, bla bla bla. So, i've failed the course, AND i have to do the assignment again. YEAH!

I'll just go and sleep for the next couple of months now.

@MagiciteKefka:

My morning in summary:
-Woke up at seven on game room couch, despite having class at 12pm.
-Finished take home quiz.
-Made fun of Glee.
-Discovered Matthew Morrison.
-Watched depressing cartoons.
-Sang Disney songs.
-Used Disney as a subject in the final question of the quiz.

I shall now drive to class singing! I'm strangely in a good mood today!

That's great to hear Insider!

Today, it was announced that every class has to create costumes for the carnival this year. One student from the class will pull out a small paper (from a hat I suppose), and on it, there'll be the name of a cartoon or movie (ex. Lion King). That will be the theme of the class.
My teacher: "If you manage to get Naruto, I'll quit."

Day 3 of eating nothing but fruits and vegetables (but basically just drinking) and it's going quite well. It's kinda exhausting when you have to go to school etc. but I'm strong enough. 7 days left…
