I forgot how much of a circle jerk classrooms can be. And to make matters worse, it's all online, so I don't even have the benefit of nonverbal communication to show that I'm not being a dick. Since my classes are online, we're required to post at least three times a week: an initial post and two posts commenting on other people's posts. That's ( Read more... )

Blech. I'm sick. Again. One of the, ah, joys of working in the children's section is catching whatever plague germs is are (ETA: Great subject/verb agreement there, Muse.) going around the elementary schools. I'll be glad when I'm out of there for good and my health improves. I've never had allergies before I started working there, but with ( Read more... )

Is anyone else disturbed with the M&Ms commercials? The ones where they sexualize the green one ( Read more... )

This is what I want on my grave. A man reaching out of the ground. It almost makes me wish to change my plans from being cremated. You know, so I can't be brought back as a zombie.

Heroes tonight: kind of boring. I hope the escaped bad guys actually stay bad. How long until all of the characters sit around and sing "This Land is Your Land?" ( Read more... )

Woot! I had my college orientation today. I have a whopping eight whole credits. How will I ever manage? All of my gen ed classes transferred, which is probably the only use I've found for my BA so far. I don't regret a degree in English lit because I love English and I love literature, but it's not the kind of degree that usually gets you a ( Read more... )

Yay! I did it! I finally finished NaNoWriMo yesterday, about twenty minutes before midnight. According to the NaNoWriMo word counter, I finished with 50,001 words. I'm almost tempted to go back and fix it so that it's 50,000 exactly, but the one on the end amuses me. About damn time, really. I only ended up with a few pages of an outline, but ( Read more... )

Well, I finally heard back from the bossman about the open position in Reference. I didn't get it; they gave it to the other temp. I thought I'd be upset, but actually I'm kind of relieved. Now I don't have a comfy job to keep me in this town and I won't feel guilty when I do quit and go on to grad school ( Read more... )

I'm taking a class on Christianity up at Ferris, but shhh! Don't tell Ferris. Actually, the prof invited me back to take this class because I was bummed out that I would be graduating and thus, couldn't really enroll in it. It's absolutely fascinating ( Read more... )

My final grades are finally posted. Glee!

American Political Parties CI must have done very, very well on my poli sci exam; at 67% would have brought it up to a C-. Sweet. I finished with a 2.99, which doesn' ( Read more... )

Bah, Ferris, bah! I'm supposed to do some sort of loan exit counseling, but every time I try to access the page, I see "Server Application Error" in very large, very bold lettering. I have to complete this by the 18th, so if this is still a problem tomorrow, looks like I have to call the school Monday. Bother! I just want to be done with Ferris ( Read more... )
