TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 I just found out that I'm right on the line between c team and jv for my xc team, I also found out that I'm failing physics, making me ineligible. I'm sorry. Is there some sort of deadline for you to get your grade up and become eligible again?
Silverblade5 he/him Posted September 25, 2015 Author Posted September 25, 2015 Yep. Tomorrow. For getting late work in anyways. Because that's the end of the first nine week grading period.

Kaymyth she/her Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 AUGH There was a house centipede in my kitchen! Augh, augh, augh! It's dead now, but who knows what dastardly things it was plotting with its friends? Horrible awful creepy furry Goa'uld with legs.... 5

It could have been worse...I'd take a Goa'uld over vampiric Wraith leeches anyday My brain is conspiring to kill me with weird little marshmallow men.

With any luck the security camera caught the hit and run... So the security camera caught it and it was a black Dodge truck that is not usually in the parking lot. Of course you can't make out the license plate or the face of the driver so I'm probably just screwed. Great start to the week. 1

Claincy he/him Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 I'm so worried I'm going to screw things up with Bruce I can hardly stand it. You're bound to make some mistakes, but I seriously doubt you'll make any really serious ones After all how long have you had other pugs in the family? Also from what you said of Bruce in the random stuff thread it sounds like he'll be pretty cool about any mistakes you do end up making 1
Pestis the Spider she/her Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) So today I have PMS and this terrible cold, and I feel really sick and I couldn't sleep, so I'm barely staying awake, but I still had to go to uni. And there I had this practical lab. And during this lab some of the groups suddenly started to do something weird, and my group didn't know why, so we asked the demonstrator, and the said that we shouldn't be doing same thing, but they're doing it because bla bla something. Well, the explanation was terrible and didn't explain anything at all, but my group didn't care and they went back too work. But I wanted to know why, because all groups were supposed to do the same thing. So I asked this demonstrator again, but his explanation didn't make any sense and didn't answer my question. So I was still confused, so I asked him again and again and again. So at the end he decided to explain everything from the beginning even though I knew all this stuff and it still didn't answer my question. So after 15 minutes of pointless explanation of basics I managed to realise that my misunderstanding of this problem came from my misunderstanding of the aim of this experiment. But because of this whole situation I felt like a total idiot, so I couldn't stop myself from crying (yes, adult person crying in the freaking lab, but you know... cold and PMS and that was just to much) even though I knew that this is not my fault that this demonstrator guy doesn't understand any question you ask him and can't explain a thing at all. So then the floor leader/lecturer/important person noticed me crying and she asked me if I understand everything. So I told her what I didn't understand before and what the demonstrator guy said. And then the lecturer said that the demonstrator was wrong (!) and she explained my problem properly with ONE sentence (yes, that's possible!) and I understood this explanation with NO problem and basically apparently I've been right the whole time. But it was too late because I've already been crying at that point and my group already thinks I'm an idiot and a crybaby, and they are all annoyed with me, because they think that I should've just helped them with the lab work, so we can all go home early instead of trying to understand the theory behind this lab work properly. And basically this day is bad. Edit: Some word and spelling mistakes as I write on the phone. Sorry. I'll correct them when I'm back home. Edited September 29, 2015 by Pestis the Spider 4

I'll correct them when I'm back home . *hugs and chocolate and warm fuzzy things to hug* We all have those days, and they suck, and PMS sucks and I'm sorry. For what it's worth, I think you're 100% correct in trying to understand the theory behind the experiment. (Disclaimer: I'm not into science). Then when you get to a situation when you have to extrapolate from the experiment, you'll know exactly what's going on then it's your lab partners who are going to be the big idiots. Also, 'crybaby' is a stupid term. We all have emotions. We deal with them in certain ways. It makes you in no way whatsoever less capable or smart than they are, it's just probably an excuse for them to feel better about themselves while they're rushing through and not understanding what's going on. (Maybe that's going a little too far. I don't know these people). Still, I think you're awesome and brave for forcing yourself to go to uni and work properly even though you were feeling rotten. I hope you're feeling better now. *hugs* 1

Don't worry about it... I once threw a circuit board on the wall during a lab session because despite the fact I had spent ghostly long hours to make it work just refused to... work. It didn't make sense and nobody had any valid explanation as to why it stubbornly refused to work as everything I did seem right. I grew so angry at it, I just threw on the wall it in a fit of rage in front a several disbelieving co-students Yeah. I know. Very edifying. It was priceless: an adult having a tantrum into an electronic lab in front of an audience. I should have made a bow Everyone must have thought I was nuts Turns out there was NOTHING wrong with the storming circuit: there was a defect in the chip I had not been made aware which made it so my state machine couldn't start by state 0000............ I reprogrammed it starting up from 1111 and it worked (after I had picked up the tiny pieces and re-built the whole thing I had destroyed during my anger). None sense. So see, nothing to worry about and you've got to do your lab the proper way while having the confirmation your lab instructor is an idiot Edit: And I didn't have the excuse of being in PMS....

Curious Anamaximder he/him Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 My sister ran my toe over with a chair, it turned purple. 1
Guest Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Well this is going to sound repetitive after the above post, but I have an ingrown toenail on my big toe. It's infected, and after I spent the whole day in D.C. playing tour guide a couple days back, it's swollen. So anyway, that hurts. Tonight, while I was at a troop meeting, my brother accidentally stomped on it. I almost cried, and I don't cry. Anyway, that hurt for about another hour and a half, then I went home and took off my shoe, only to find a blood spot soaking through my sock. It hurts like crazy. I can't even describe it. Tomorrow I get it removed, which I know hurts from personal experience.

Tomorrow I get it removed, which I know hurts from personal experience. Oh my, you have my sympathies. I've been fighting with ingrowing nails in my toes for 6 years now. No matter how much the doctors remove, they still find a way to grow wrong :/ I even had pieces of the thing that creates the nail removed, and still I have to go to see podologist from time to time :/ fortunately in my case, despite there is blood and other nasty things, they don't hurt that much, I don't know why. Why don't you ask for anesthetic when you'll have it remove?
Claincy he/him Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 My headphone plug broke off inside the port on my computer. It was a pretty good one too. Unfortunately my comp is refusing to play through the back audio ports while something is plugged into the front so I haven't been able to get my speakers working with the plug stuck in the front and I'm not how possible it will be to get the broken bit out. The one fortunate thing is that my headphones had a separate chat channel running through a USB connection that still works so I still have some sound. 1

Why don't you ask for anesthetic when you'll have it remove? That's the part that hurts. They gave me six shots in my toe to completely numb it. Longest needle I've ever seen, flexible so it can move around inside the toe. I didn't feel it as much after the fourth shot, but the first four are excruciating.
Mestiv he/him Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) Oh, right I remember those too... However, I had pieces of grown in nails removed without the anesthetic too and I think I prefer the needles Anyway, my advice: buy shoes that are comfortable and that let you wiggle your toes freely. That should reduce the risk of the nails growing in again. Edited September 30, 2015 by Mestiv
Voidus Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Did you get your toenail-beds doused in acid? That ones fun, especially when the infection stops the anesthetic from working properly.
Orlion Blight he/him Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Being in a.... less-developed country.... at the time of my in-grown toenails, I didn't get any anesthetic. They just took some tool that looked like wire cutters and had at it! Those were the days... I was lucky for the last time I had to get an in-grown toenail removed: I knew someone at the time whose specialty was to remove in-grown toenails from old people and anemics (people who if you cut have a difficult time stopping bleeding). That was strangely pleasant and painless!
Left he/him Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 I'm coming down with a cold. Everlasting runny nose, sore throat, head that feels like a pile of bricks, yeah....ugh. I'm just glad this weekend is also coincidentally the first weekend I don't have any plans really, so I can just stay home and sleep. 1
Mestiv he/him Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Did you get your toenail-beds doused in acid? That ones fun, especially when the infection stops the anesthetic from working properly. Sounds like fun Man, I didn't suspect that so many people have problems with their nails...
