Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well, to add to my list of crappy s**t that's happened so far this week my watch band broke.

Absolutely none of the things that I was hoping to have happen like getting my own room or getting the foreign language requirement waived because I had german II and naturally I should get something for german I if just not having to take another foreign language class. Then I discovered even with that this ******** money grubbing hell hole allowed this department to require even more foreign language classes than any other university I've seen.

The career center was absolutely useless for helping with internships. They basically just directed me to the University run listings which are just as crappy as the random s**t on the Internet. Whoever allowed them to list camp counsellor as an internship should be shot. So that was a waste.

My classes really aren't all that exciting. And for creative writing classes they have way too many people in them, nearing thirty. And both of them have a pretentious jackass who needs to learn to shut the ******** up because nobody cares about what he thinks just so he can hear himself talk.

And I hate the fact that my poetry class runs so late, because then it cuts into handball practice, so I have to rush about to eat, and then get ready for handball and go.

And the buses were all ******** up today and I was late to class because the bus was not only over 15 minutes late, but then the driver just turns down the wrong street like it's so ******** complicated to do the route.

And my theatre class is filled with morons (I had to put up with the one girl for a lab partner in astronomy, and you think she could be less of a b***h to me considering I helped her pass the damn class).

And the roommate is still turning the heat way up and so I can't sleep at night because the room is a virtual sauna, even after I turn the heat down.

I'm just seriously ******** tired of putting up with s**t.

Awesome~

My family threatens to make a big thing about an Olympics being so "close" to us, perhaps I'll enjoy your rain someday. xd

Yeah, I've seen Reactable before. It's pretty cool, though ends up more distorted and noisy than I like. The idea is awesome though. It seems like it would be an awesome thing to play around with in minature though. Like a centerpiece at tables in a bar or something.

I really like the Tenori-On though. Never seen that one before, but it seems like fun.

That's totally ridiculous. :/
At least my university allows you to fulfill multiple requirements with one class - except for classes in your major. You can't use those for multiple things, but if your major is IN the fine arts, you definitely don't need to take general ed classes in that area.

I think the prerequisite system is stupid too. I wanted to minor in art a few years ago, but to take ANY art classes you had to start with the drawing class. And that class was ALWAYS filled up by seniors looking for their "fun class" - so how the ******** was I supposed minor in it if I couldn't even snag the first class? I can probably sign up for it now since I have priority, but I'd like to graduate on time, thank you very much.

And all universities are money-grubbing whores!

They must be stopped!

The odd thing though, is classes that count towards my major count towards my degrees fine art requirement.

The really annoying part is though, since I'm creative writing emphasis both my basic creative writing courses don't count towards the gen ed requirement even though they do for everybody else. That and all the creative writing classes are open to everybody, and so even in the upper level classes it's mostly people who aren't even English majors, and half the time should have never been passed through the basic class because they can't write.

And Pasta, stop playing with Ruckus!

I'm so glad that we've caught two of the rats, but I do wish that the traps were set with something besides peanut butter. I can't go in the kitchen, my bathroom, or the garage without starting to feel ill.
