Pluses (+) and minuses (−) of this day

[saerleiya]

+ Work = Money
+ Money = Stuff =D

++ Yeah money is great. I found myself buying way more things since I earned money during my internship.

[Shrooblord]

+ I was already going to find a small job-thing to do when I got back home, but you guys have inspired me to do it even more.
- Greed, apparently.

[Imco]

- Forum was offline for quite a while :/
+ I will get a new phone Thursday!

[saerleiya]

- Dat 503 error, though.
- Wanted to do some workout even if I wasn't too much in the mood for it. But first I was so absorbed by ideas that I forgot i couldn't pass the barriers, especially the ones used to get outside of the center (hit), and second when I went inside, I saw I had forgotten my locker too! I was so pissed off by this that I chose to go back home without doing anything.
- The atmosphere got very wet during the day. It's like I can only breath half of what I should do. Annoying.
+ Blue Stahli in my ears :3.

[Imco]

- Photoshop crashed just when I finished the third note

+ NOTE:

Edit: - Just found out the eye is WAY TOO OVAL
Edit 2:
+ Fixed it

- Robin Williams died

[Shrooblord]

- He sure did. If I may speak on behalf of all his fans from here, I'd like to take this minute in silence and think of all the times he made us laugh to the point of crying. What an amazing man he was.
+ I think he took his own life. Why is this a good thing? I remember him mentioning dementia and never wanting to have to face himself losing his mind, and I feel this act could have been him looking in the mirror and going "Not this way." A great leap of courage to end it before time ended his mind.

I'm not normally for suicide, but slowly losing your mind is not just dying... it's... disgraceful regression - or at least, it's one of those rare things I fear in life. I'm finding it hard to type out these words, thinking about it, but I find solace in the possibility that Robin faced the same fears and decided, before his mind would no longer allow him to make that choice, that he would like to leave the world remembering who he was throughout his life up to that point, leave, still remembering himself as he was.

And if this turns out not to be the case, the thought of such an act still comforts me, so don't you dare. Don't you dare prove me wrong and let me not find out in peace.

-----Robin Williams died
-I slept very badly, took me more than four ours to fall asleep

[saerleiya]

+ Finished 5 of the 12 chapters of Rayman and the Dragon, from Gwee. I love it so far .

I'm not normally for suicide, but slowly losing your mind is not just dying... it's... disgraceful regression

Reminds me of my grandparents. Only one of them is left, and my grandmother had Alzheimer before she disappeared. It was so ahrd to see her in such a state.
Of course, this is not an issue people were going through that much at the beginning of the 20th century, but now that everybody can reach 70/80 years easily, it's hard for any of us to have to watch our beloved slowly but surely getting these problems.

- Now I miss my grandfather: my grandmother died one month after I arrived in the US, and I couldn't be there for her funeral. It saddens me again now . I miss my family.

[Imco]

- My little finger hurts all of a sudden D:

[Keane]

- Had to pick up my schedule today. Entering that place immediately gave me that stressed, sickening feeling I had going through me most of last year. Honestly, I'm really starting to regret having chosen to attend this school rather then return to my old one. I know I don't see my friend any more or less than I would there, but I would have kept in touch with a few acquaintances at the very least. Just feels incredibly wrong walking in there and going through crowd of "I'm so glad to see you!!" cries and being able to walk out there 25 minutes later not even having made eye contact with anyone.

- Dear lord they fucked up the schedule, and I'm pretty bloody pissed about it. I'm assuming that due to how confusing everything went regarding my grades, they somehow got the idea I never completed a full Biology class, and now they've removed one of my classes and instead replaced it with a half year of Biology and a half year of some leadership class that, whatever happens, I need to make sure I stay as far away from as I can (Great concept: Having some trouble? Don't contact the student at all and just place them in a random class!). First they send me off to the library to talk with someone about it, and then there's nobody there. Then I find out it's actually done in the counselors office, where I can stand in a way too crammed line only for the lady to go "I don't know. Go email your counselor at home and you'll get a response in a couple of days." The thing is, they made a mistake and it can be fixed, but now they've put me out of the class I wanted, and there's very large chance that now that class and any alternative class I might want is already full, so unless I get lucky I'll have to replace it with a class I don't want to do. What makes this even worse is that this class is a required one that has to be completed sometime during my four years here, and that a majority of replacement classes are optional ones. In other words, it'll take away one of the only two classes I actually get to choose this year.

+ But hey, I've still got 12 days of summer left to spend, so the school bullshit can still be put aside for a little while. Really trying to appreciate my free time to the fullest lately. I'm just trying to keep positive and tell myself that this year won't be as shitty as the last one. And I've only got one instead of three important exams this year (I swear the last three weeks before the tests I've probably not experienced a single positive emotion), and it's for a class I like, so the stress level regarding that should be a little lower this time around. And I also shouldn't act like it's all bad, because this summer was actually one of the most relaxing ones I've ever had, and I don't think I've even had a single argument with either of my parents since it started.

[DandyGuy]

I don't go to school, I live in the middle of no where.

Reminds me of my girlfriend: because she missed a class of laws and rights during her first two years, she still has to do it in her last year in order to graduate for a master, but she can't because she will have a lot of classes already, so she will have to do another semester just for one class. Well, guess what? This class is only taught during the second semester in her university (we are in Europe, and in Europe most of the time we only have two semesters per year), so instead of only having one year of studies left, she will have to wait two years before graduation!

And I will graduate in 2 months. Really...

+ It's great to see people make awesome stuff around you: when I'm sad, I always find somebody to make me happy again, even if it's not done intentionally.

[Imco]

+ Helped at school, was quite fun as there were fellow students as well
- Everything hurts now :')

[beebo44]

- Wow, yesterday when I found out the news about Robin Williams I was sad, but today it feels like it really hit me. It's just heartbreaking to think we will never hear his voice again or see him smile. It's astounding how much this is affecting me today. I guess it just took that little bit of time for it to sink in..

[Adsolution]

That would explain your unfunny obsession with:

Things like this remind me of the time I was in a certain school for three years that had a similar no-fucks-given attitude. But interestingly, those were my favourite school years, partly because they teach you to speak up for yourself.

It actually reminds me of three notable occurrences in that school in grade 7:

> The class 'president' had 20 dollars stolen from her backpack, and the teacher made a big announcement about it; she eventually got all her money back from people 'donating' to her. A month later, I brought fifty dollars for a field trip, it was all stolen from my backpack, and my backpack was also chocked full of pencil shavings. I told the teacher, and he didn't do a thing.

> During a camping trip, we were all watching a movie, and when one kid started poking at me then did some attempted eye-gouge, the teacher thought I was causing the problem and banned me from all future social events at the camp.

> After I finished my year-end art project, when they were finally put on display, someone else's name was put on mine. When I told the office, they did nothing, and I got crap for 'not having done a project'.

I feel similarly here, just a few hours ago I had a depressed moment, just thinking about it.


- These Waves plugins still won't fucking work.

[saerleiya]

- No battery left in my mouse. I have to buy new batteries, and I hope the standards are the same between Europe and the US.

[OCG]

- Saw that one member returned yet again to spam.

[PluMGMK]

- Adsolution has been treated blood-boilingly unfairly at school it seems.
+ I think the battery standards are the same.

[saerleiya]

Okay thanks PluM.

- Saw that one member returned yet again to spam.

--- Yes, he's back, and his behaviour is even worse. I won't translate what he says in French because it's mainly about genitals and sexual predators (and he doesn't even know how to write it correctly).
