I hate Zoology very, very much. The best part is when your first lab practical (which counts as much as a midterm) is worse than your first midterm, which was previously the lowest grade you could remember getting on a science exam. No, wait; the best part is when your professor tells you on Friday that she was really surprised at how well you did ( Read more... )

I have Smug Mode engaged to 11, but cannot say why. This is not potential smug; this is currently active smug. I am in fact so smug that my smug is arcing off onto the people around me, and making them smug.

It's seriously fucked. The back wheel is bent, by which I mean, somebody took a third of it and BENT IT at a serious angle. There are serious brake skids all along the metal rim - whatever happened, I saw it coming. The frame itself is torqued in the same direction as the real wheel - the chain sticks out past the frame in ways it really shouldn't ( Read more... )

Right now, at least, bacon is the best food in the history of ever. My head is like 70% clear. That's the best since I woke up. I sure as hell don't feel normal but damn I feel better.
