Indeed. Oh well, I'm at home now and my appetite has (somewhat) returned.

On the "bright" side, I lost about 12 pounds in two days. Yeah, that's probably not healthy.

It's not uncommon at all for people to lose weight after being sick. You'll more then likely gain most of it back.

[Spectere]

Yeah, I know, I've experienced that before.  A lot of what is lost is water, really.

And believe me, having to work a few hours after vomiting like that isn't fun.  After a while I wound up getting dizzy from dehydration.  Fortunately, I had bought a 6-pack of water the night before that happened, so after about four of those suckers I was fine.

Then I lost my voice.

But that's back now.  Thank goodness.

Well try not to die, we still need you to keep paying for the domain

[Spectere]

Thanks for the kind words. xD

My dad has basically been driving my truck around in 4th gear on the interstate because he didn't want to put it into overdrive, and he was surprised when it was overheating.

Christ my truck is literally going to die soon.

uhhh WHY?!

What possible reason could he have for not putting it in overdrive?

EDIT: I've talked with my teacher and I still have a chance to pick things up and hopefully pass. Although I may still end up with a suspension. If that is the case I will be talking with the dean in order to try to resolve things.


I'm probably fucked in one of my classes now.

I've got the final test today, but that's not what's bothering me.

Basically, we have 12 labs for the class.

1-10 are small, worth 10 marks each. I didn't hand a bunch of them in because I've been having some trouble with motivation and such. Lab 11 is just there as pre-calculations for lab 12. Lab 12 is worth 100 marks by itself, because it combines everything you learn in labs 1-10 as well as stuff from the lectures.

I misunderstood how you were supposed to do some stuff for lab 12 and now I'm fucked because I can't write a proper analysis report for it. My analysis is due today at noon, right before my final test. I've been up all night trying to figure things out, but I don't think I'm going to be able to finish it.

I wouldn't be so pissed though if all that would result from that was failing the class. Unfortunately if I fail this class I'm in a LOT of trouble with the school. I'm on academic probation right now and if I fail any class or achieve less than a 60 average, they tell me not to come back for 2 semesters. I can't afford to have that happen. I'm in a 3 year program, I'm in my second semester of my 4th year. If I don't finish things by the 5th year I have to re-apply. That means that any courses that have changed too much won't be a transferable credit and despite having passed them once, I'll have to do a bunch of classes over again. Not to mention the cost of having to take them over again.

I'm pissed because I don't think I can convince my teacher, who also happens to be the course coordinator, to give me a chance to bring my mark up to a pass. And on top of that I just found out that my final mark in the one class I was relying on to keep my average is not high enough to save me if both of my other marks are 50's.

Looks like I'm going to be talking to the dean sometime about all of this. I'm feeling somewhere between freaking out and breaking things right now.

[Bobbias]

Well, that was resolved.

Now apparently my grandfather has cancer. Bowel cancer that's moved to his liver.

:/

[Bobbias]

Triplepost. My grandfather died in... I think January 2013.  Also, I just (probably, still gotta hear from insurance) totaled my mom's car :<

Went out for coffee, decided to keep driving around because I didn't want to go home after getting coffee. Hit a bad patch on the road and spun out. I'm fine though.

I just had to explain variable scope to an "experienced programmer."

I fucking hate Arch Linux. I fucking hate systemd. Thanks to a mixture of the two of them (systemd for being shit and Arch for using it in the first place) this site just went down for about fifteen minutes.

I need to restart that little project where I switch this site over to a non-systemd Gentoo install.
