Yes. It was so totally unexpected. I finally gave up, because I couldn't understand what she was saying. She was very angry. If she had just slowed down, I could have understood.

Had you asked her to slow down? Did you complain to management?

I did ask her to slow down, several times, and she blew up. My guess is that she had been a professional in her own country and her credentials were not recognized here. (That even happens here when you change states, in some areas.) And her English was quite good, except that I couldn't adjust for an accent going by too fast to recognize, and the speaker was horrible. It wasn't me - I think it had probably built up from the moment she took the job.

To complain to mgmt, I would have had to find a parking spot in a nearly full parking lot, go in, create a scene probably, without a lot of point. And....I was in a rush, which is why I was there in the first place. It was not a usual experience.

I'm glad too about there being no more snow, after last week I'm sort of sick of it. I still love snow, it just ruined my week > > I just hope in general the weather starts to let up and become nice. As for Canada's winters because snow is a garunteed occurance, they are prepared for it and there is rarely any school closures.

Now onto photography. As much as I love my photography teacher it is effectively his fault but at the same time it's not. On thursday when I had my last photography lesson, I ran out of photographic paper and Dan (my teacher) decided to let me use his own personal paper. Unfortunately the only big enough paper he had was largely bigger than what I needed, so he would need to cut it for me to form an A3 sheet. When I went in on Friday to do the work, he cut a couple sheets for me but annoyingly the print just wouldn't come out right and I soon ran out. He said he'd cut more out for me after helping a student out but then he got caught up with other students asking for his help and he forgot. Soon there was only 10 minutes left of the lesson, so I gave up and packed my stuff and left seeing as those ten minutes wouldn't be enough to get a print done. So I have no idea what is going to happen about that :/

Ah, you are lucky you were able to cope with it all up in Canada. But like you said, as it's a guaranteed occurrence, you were able to be fully and properly prepared for it. Avoiding any/most problems. Over here, we never get a large amount of snow. So if we ever do get even an inch, our whole country collapses rolleyes

Oh no! That's not exactly fair. Surely your teacher must give you a chance, or at least allow you some time, considering it was basically his fault you didn't manage to finish. I mean, he did say he'd come back to you.. Surely he'll be fine if you just explain what happened, and mention he didn't come back to help you(although obviously don't make it sound like you're saying "it's all your fault!". Just let him know he didn't actually do what he said he would)

@ Rainbow in the dark - I'm good!

@ Bliss - I'm good!

Sorry for the lack of posts! I went and am on vacation. It was a bit of spontaneous thing, so I wasn't expecting it. I'm glad I'm here though. It is a cute little town.

Done anything fun on your holiday, yet?

Yeah Canadians are lucky to be able to cope with it but as we've agreed on guaranteed occurance = guaranteed response. Plus they get more snow in one year than England ever has in the last ten combined xD

I'm not all too sure what is going to happen about photography and if I'm honest, I've stopped caring about it now. At first I will admit, I was like "Oh no! This can't happen, I need to finish this otherwise my grade is ruined!" but now that I've thought about it... *shrugs* Sure it would be nice to get some time to finish off that one print, but I'm not seeing it as the end of the world if I'm one board short anymore. My grade can't drop so dramatically if I don't submit 1 traditional board. So really, if I was still a 13 year old, I would raise my middle finger to it all and get on with everything else. Now that I'm nearly 18, I'm just getting on with my other subjects xD

I was taken on my first run in SS yesterday - was over 2 hours later when I realized though I have the mousepad/keyboard action repair, I am back to only 1/2 gb of memory.... A VERY patient and ind crew took me through the whole run, I have all or nearly all of the map lit up now. I kept running into a corner and getting stuck in the dark... That was my 5th try - only twice was able to actually enter through the whirlpool, twice not (due to lag). And once I saw in chat that I had run ahead....and I had just been trying hard to keep up. I never noticed them as I was running..lol.

Haha, it's easily done . It's nice when you can find a crew who are friendly; so many people do it just for the gold instead of for the fun and companionship.

*sobs* but you said you loved me!!!




I can't get on zOMG because the ports for it are permablocked on the uni internet :@ Not impresesedddd crying

Mwahahaha I dooooooo, I do whee

Noo! Why are they permablocked? Is there a way to get them unblocked? ninja

Nope. We have a selection of ports which are OK for average uses which are open. All others are blocked, and we are allowed to request 20 to be unblocked throughout our time here. There's a list of them which can't beu nless they're required for our course, in which case we have to get a note from someone in the department.
So no zOMG! for me during term time.

Oho! Sounds like you play zOMG! Our clan, Heartfire, is having a party in - 44 minutes, if you want to come. We use the last server alphabetically - right now, that's Bladed Vase - and we will be in Village Greens to the left of the null crystal, near MacTaggart.
