Post how your day was…

Soo…..got two tests this week, weekend work as usual, and now I know the details of my English paper - it's on House of Mirth, it's a research paper, and bits and pieces of the assignment are due throughout this month, with the due date being May 5th.
All while spring break is next week.
Can't screw up now.
-
It was up, it was down.
A person I usually don't talk to asked me if I was alright when I spaced out staring through a window after class. I've almost never interacted with anyone in this school so that was a pleasant surprise.

I still space out like that and when my coworkers ask what's wrong I usually say "nothing" but usually I'm mad they just interrupted me from an awesome daydream. Screw work production. I'm glad it was more pleasant for you though.

Hoo, this has been a tiring Monday. I rode my bike in the chilly rain to get to the library, as I'm still without Internet connection at home and wanted to browse the web/do some research. Beginning to miss having access to the web at home, as the early mornings can be awful boring and lonely and I genuinely miss you nice ladies and gentlemen, though it's been nice getting out of the house, rain or shine. :)
-
Eh….i'll just go ahead and erase this. You never know.
-
Got my husmanskost (traditional Swedish food) book today, and my book about Chinese regional food should be arriving tomorrow.
Add to that my Russian and Eastern European cookbook and those Mediterranian books i borrowed and i've got a packed reading week.
Now if only i could afford that book on sauces and the one about curries too.
-
I've been sick for a couple of days. Got a high fever. My whole body aches like hell, especially my head. Can't really concentrate on anything right now. Just lying on my bed for most of the day.
-
I spoke with an adviser from the Chemistry department on this whole summer-fall issue…..very nice, eloquent gentlemen. He said that he personally doesn't like summer courses, given the crunch of material.....we discussed the pros and cons.....
..as luck would have it, I just got an email saying I got a part in the fall class. Checked the roster and yep, my name was there. Soo....maybe I should....defer until the fall, then?
on the flip side of things, I get my poetry paper back on Wednesday. I'm dreading it, especially since our instructor said she had to meet with a few students and talk about their papers....oh ho, let's hope I skated by. crosses fingers

Look cat, you can keep on getting up on this table as often as you like, I'll just keep on tossing you right back off. You're not winning this war of attrition.

one of my professors thinks I'm good with time management bc I carry around a planner and I show up to class dressed nice very day (because I get out of work right before that). She was really lenient to me because of last week and gave me a few extra days than she usually does because I did the 'professional thing' and told her in an email about my absences before hand.
It feels so uncomfortable sometimes to have professors put faith in me like this. It feels like a lie because I am not that competent person they think I am. But well every semester is a new chance to get a bit better and attempt to become that person I suppose
  -
Work = Nah, now people are worried about me, this is good and bad at the same time. Besides that, I had to do a research of characters in popular media that rhymes when they speak, later I had to organize the new norwegian poetry books that arrived today, then I did more "reading to children", organize the returned books and last, I charged some fines (ha, if you don´t bring back the book in time, you have to face consequences).
Life: LoL can be VERY saddening and stressfull some time..I should watch "Softenni": The Animation (BTW, good anime).
And I practiced some fripSide songs on my accordion (especially Way to Answer).
-
I'm so mad i might start gnawing my table.

I've been sitting at my desk studying for my physics and o-chem exams these past few days, and for the entirety of that time my roommate has been sitting a meter away from me aggressively playing League of Legends 50 hours a day with his friends on voice call without headphones. Who in almighty hell says "lol" out loud, let alone every few minutes. The other roommate is doing the same thing in the next room.
League players, not even once.

Everything you posted makes it appear like you have your shit together, you were even courteous enough to email the professor about your absence. It seems weird to you, but just appearing to be all together is enough for people to put their faith in you. Most people are not that together. I wonder why at my last job I thought I was a giant massive failure but they really went out of their way to do stuff for me and accommodate me because apparently I looked like I was doing a good of enough job and had excellent customer service. Now I'm at a place that points out every single little failure like I deliberately screwed everything up :/
Hey, take the breaks where you can get em!

I never want to remember this week.
EVER. -

YEah what Arei said. Just roll with it. If you're working and going to class you're obviously juggling a bunch of things, so a break every once in awhile is nothing to feel guilty about.

Can this week just spontaneously combust into nothing please?

Yeah, what the others said. Appearances might feel deceiving but there tends to be a lot of truth to them. Chances are that no-one is as organised and professional as the mythical person you are comparing yourself too there. And honestly, things like carrying around a planner are genuinely organised.
You deserve that faith, basically. And even if you didn't, you would for the conscious effort to better yourself, if that makes sense?
They do this everytime, especially with a panem et circenses kind of politics.
As I said..things are UGLY in Brazil.
I heard they were launching massive police raids on the favelas again. Does that actually change anything, or is it for show?

You underestimate the persistence of cat.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Seen on a walk to the shops and back just now:
- A woman on roller skates taking four hyperactive dogs for a walk, one of which was carrying a tennis ball in its mouth
- A painting of Michael Jackson, resting inside a wok
- A woman singing the title track from 'Cabaret' while juggling a bag of cheap pasta
- A dead-ringer for Marco the Phoenix. Like, I'd swear they look identical.
- A luxury horse box - this was to a regular horse box as a sports car is to your average Toyota or Ford
- A bearded man singing Irish folk songs to himself outside KFC
Ah, London.
moooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon
-
Still plagued by an agonizing sense of worry but on the bright side I've been unusually productive today.

@Print:

Nonsense. You'll note I didn't claim the cat would lose the war of attrition, just that she wouldn't win. This battle shall be eternal.

The police force is very untrained, in protests that took place in June / July 2013 they mistook people making a peaceful protest with thieves. Using unnecessary violence against all who were there.
About your question, the UPP (Pacifying Police Unit) were doing a good job "reclaiming" the favelas from the hands of drug lords and thugs. But nowadays, there are still reports of monopoly drug sales in those slums. And with the death of several policemen every, things are not looking cool.
Well, it´s not for show, they are just unprepared.

A substantial amount of hair was chopped off today and man, my hair looks so much healthier and I feel super fresh~ :3 I had completely forgotten how good it makes you feel to go to a hairdresser. And the whole thing cost me only 16€! I'm definitely visiting that place again. (◡‿◡✿)
On the bad side of things the external hard drive I'd been using for my internship broke on Monday. Nothing has disappeared from it, but the goddamn device won't let me do anything with any of its files without jamming the entire computer it's plugged into. In the worst case scenario two videos can't be made at all. God fucking damnit. Well, I'm picking it up tomorrow from my school's IT support and then we'll find out… Hoping for the best!!
-
How in the heck did I get an A- on my poetry paper? I was completely unsatisifed on how it came out, mainly because I felt the thesis was too vague. Plus my instructor marked it up like crazy, so….?
-
It's a funny thing, I write the most feedback on submissions from my students that were just-under-excellent.
I try to recognize the effort that they put into it and show them how it could have been made better.
The students who just don't give a shit usually get a "see me if you are confused".
-
Job = Oh god..why I had to say that I play a accordion in front of my boss…Now I have to play songs for kids..:getlost:
Besides that, I continued to organize those norwegian books.
Life: From 17:00 to 22:00 I stayed with my mother in the hospital..She had another panic attack + heavy nausea.
She´s ok now, well, she´s still with the nausea.
PS: Let´s learn to play "Ding Dong Song" from Günter in my accordion ? F… YES !!
-
Just got up, feeling like shit already.
-
Spent all day studying and junk.
No idea how to do the post-lab write-up for my o-chem lab due today.
No idea how dafuq to do today's lab.
Physics exam right after that lab, just barely comprehending anything.
O-chem exam right after the physics exam for maximum overkill.I might be dead later. "But FelRes, how would Robin feel if she saw how you were handling this?" FACK
-
All of the Animation work up in here.
Also got reassurance that I'd 'never get kicked out of the house' because I confessed I wanted to be a guy… in honesty I'm majorly unsure whether it's gender disphoria or bigenderism... -
Well guys are pigs, so you might be a furry. Bacon is prolly a delicious gender actually. You know what, just go bacon. Slightly crispy.

My mom turned 50 yesterday and my dad threw her a surprise birthday party. Lots of family and friends came over and my mom gave a speech summed up by, "I'm glad to be surrounded by family and friends." It was nice.
Man, 50! I'm not even halfway there but when I do get there, Insha'Allah, I'll probably look back and wonder how I got here so quickly, lol.
-
For me, the big landmark is going to be when I turn schfifty-five.
I'll probably look like your typical aging hippie liberal douche.
Congrats to your mom on the big five-oh!

That's definitely what happened in my case, as my instructor wrote that I could've expanded on somethings at the end. Overall she did like it, I guess the more mark-ups I see, the more nervous I get. The first thing I did though, when I got the paper back, was flip it over and peek through the light to see the grade on the other side lol
edit: Economics test today. Woo boy.

I don't expect to understand … hair. But, €16 sounds like a lot of money to me :o Is it some kind of fancy place? Or do I just not understand hair …

Really? To me 16 Euro sounds super cheap for a haircut
-
€22-25 is the average price for guys' haircuts over here. Something like €50 for girls if they want anything more than just a few centimeters clipped off. Gender equality at its best.

I guess you can just experiment and see what you feel comfortable with? Gender is way more of a personal thing than a lot of us pretend.
I don't expect to understand … hair. But, €16 sounds like a lot of money to me :o Is it some kind of fancy place? Or do I just not understand hair …
Nope, it's super-cheap. I pay £20 for mine with my East London hairdresser and that's a special lower price rate.

Man. I've just been having good day after good day as of late. Things have been going really smoothly for me.
Today I actually had a convo with my boss, and it felt really good just being plain honest about my thoughts on the job.
I mentioned loving the amount of control I have(along with the other things people make me do… so I'm never just standing around being bored) with my position, and even made fun of the more boring tasks I had to start off with. We had a good laugh too.I was honestly somewhat concerned that I may have gotten the shaft for sticking to things I was great at rather than actively learning everything, but my boss seems really fine with it. So yeah. That made my day today. He's a goofy(really fucking goofy) dude and he sometimes loses his temper, but he's a cool boss.
I'd be pretty sad to go when I'm ever ready to move on to something better paying or more independent.

Happy for you Hiroy :) Isn't it great when working to make a living is actually fun?
Have one of these:
I have those days once in a while, but for me I always have this negative mindset that "I'm not doing enough/I'm not productive enough". Half of it comes from not being able to concentrate because of crazy kids running around 24/7 where I always have to keep an eye that one of them doesn't accidentally break their leg or a toddler doesn't wander out the door. Or the older ones come running to me going " ______ is hitting _____ !" and ugh -__-. My position is about managing programs at my centre, but half of my job ends up being babysitting / supervising.

OH MAN! Dude! Girl/lady! What!
Never thought I'd see the name of that beverage ever agian. Forgot it existed until now O__o Seriously. Memories of home again. Thanks for that!Hahah! How old are the kids now? They must be a real handful, though I can imagine how much a handful managing a bunch of employees could be too. I think my boss has kids too and I'm not even sure how he manages to stay in good spirits. I mean, there was a time where he had to stop a brawl in the restaurant almost singlehanded and I don't think I'd have the courage or patience for that. And I'm not sure if I'm looking into a long term stay at this job either, though training new people seems like it could be fun.
I get that mindset too, but that's usually during those terribly slow days where overall productivity just hits the dirt :( Otherwise it feels great when things are moving in a fast, chaotic and almost out of control. Just a thrill I have, really.

You don't have local carib food stores that sell peardrax? I do, and it's ridiculously overpriced, but I give in for peardrax.. and those peanut punch juiceboxes. Omg.. I could go for a peanut punch right now.. crap.. if I had a blender I'd make it.
That reminds me.. do you know that there are still some actual carib tribes that exist to this day? My husband visited one in Dominica (not dominican republic) and they live far off in the bush and pretty much stick to themselves.The kids are like aged 0-12. I work at a non-profit educational academy, and we offer some classes for homeschooled kids (like french, science). So what happens is the moms bring the kids to those classes, and then hang out to socialize with each other while they're in class, and let their younger kids play with each other. They do keep an eye on their kids but it's impossible to keep up with them all the time, so it's a given that a toddler will waddle by trying to push through a door, often followed by a weary mom lol.
-
There's this Caribbean restaurant out the street, but I only went in there once a couple months ago. It was kinda bad. Actually, really REALLY bad… The location didn't seem to make it business, and thus most of the food feels reheated or stale. Shame, it could have been my favorite restaurant to feel at home in. And I was looking forward to roti that actually tasted good too >_> I'm sure they do have every kind of beverage tho(I seen sorrel... for like 8 dollars a cup! WTF), but I'm not sure how I'd feel only going there for something drink. Hahah!
And your job really sounds like it rids that stereotype in my mind that home-schooled kids are never given a moment to socialize. Shows how very little I know.
-
The saddest thing is a Caribbean restaurant that sucks, which is most of them :( Like you said, you can just taste the reheated curry which is sometimes poorly reheated shudders from cold curry memories.The best thing is finding a caribbean restaurant that sells good doubles. I dunno why but caribbean people have like taken root in Toronto, and there's roti shops and caribbean food stores everywhere.
Ya honestly when I started working here my opinion of homeschooled children was shattered as well. Holy crap they're talkative and damn smart, too. The cool thing about homeschooled kids is that they don't have any issue with interacting with kids older or younger than them. You know how in public school you get that whole "ew, grade 2s. I'm in Grade 3 I'm so mature and older and blah" attitude? With homeschooled kids one class can have kids aged let's say.. 8 to 10, and they're all cool with each other. Homeschooling isn't for every kid, but for some it works well. Kids with special needs are an example, or even some that can learn higher than their prescribed curriculum for their age.

was at the hospital since 7:30 am because my mother had an scheduled surgery. The operation got delayed for almost ten hours. Just came back. I'm so tired. My sister is spending the night with her and we are going for both of them tomorrow.
Working thru some stuff. Dunno how long i will be here.

Okay. When I do begrudgingly get my hair cut, I get it done for less than ten quid … or about ten. I think ...
Speaking of which, I need a haircut.

My hair grows back too darn fast.
Also didn't know where to put this… probably coulda fit in the cross play/cosplay section... oh well more chances of getting a answer
