What is this you speak of?

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #2201 on:** September 29, 2009, 11:55:57 PM »

Exam pacing? I guess I'm just ignoring the exam hell of the later semesters in college or something. Stupid nostalgia.

mood today: marginally better, if only because watching my nephews be hyper and -not- having to do anything was an amusing experience.

* Jo'ou Ranbu makes a motion to remove glasses while reading, realizes he has no glasses.

That'll take a while to get used to. So many tics I have are directly tied to that damned pair.

Curious thing I learned these past few days regarding our family.

While things tend to get pretty loud when we encounter a small problem, when we encounter a very, very, very, very big problem that I really hope doesn't happen again, we're just glad that we're alive. And that more of the house and the stuff in it didn't get damaged. <<

Was it from the flooding or mudslides?

Sei · « **Reply #2205 on:** September 30, 2009, 01:00:59 AM »

Flooding. Thankfully, it stopped rising after submerging half of the first floor so we were spared having to climb to the rooftops and losing most of the electronics in the second floor. The cars are heavily damaged though, and most of the furnitures are a loss.

(Anyone interested in some slightly drenched sofa? You could barely smell the sewage!)

I'm now imagining your avatar holding up a copy of WA1 and screaming at the floods about taking Cecilia away from you over your dead boyd. I am a horrible person.

How much cleaning is there still to do now? I've had to try to prepare for that type of flooding before (Live in a Hurricane zone) but thankfully we've never had a bad enough storm for that.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #2207 on:** September 30, 2009, 01:06:52 AM »

I'm really glad I don't live in houses - or in areas likely to flood - when stories like that hit. Over the capital of my home state, the yearly floods are basically a twisted tradition by this point, for an example, and I've seen people riding rowing boats on the street when I was in college.

Still, it's good that your family is mostly safe from that, Sei.

First floor is scrubbed but still smelly. Most of the junked stuff have been tossed out, and stuff that can still be saved are being dried outside. We should be able to use the first floor again by the end of the week. Cost for car repairs and furniture replacement are a headache, but it could have been a lot worse.

We were quite unprepared for it. We're in typhoon country, but this is the first time the floods reached our street (we're on high ground, so you can imagine how much more badly the areas around us got hit), much less our house.

I only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays - 9:30-5:15 with one 45 minute break. I'll take that rather than driving to school everyday. I've been in school seven weeks now and only 16 remain. I've yet to have an exam in my 18th century, which is only a midterm and a final. Midterm is next Tuesday.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #2210 on:** September 30, 2009, 01:43:08 AM »

Seven weeks already? Man, where does the time go.

Idun · « **Reply #2211 on:** September 30, 2009, 02:43:02 AM »

Clearly it flies out of the window since I've bullshitted all of my paper topic proposals. I need to step up on that. And if you're wondering that 8 weeks into the semester isn't technically a midterm, they've changed the dates because GSU wants students to drop a class as soon as the results of the first test are turned in so they're not responsible for a student dropping just before or after a midterm and trying to get a Withdrawl instead of a Withdrawl Fail.

Finished Commissioned Officer Training School down in lovely Alabama and graduated in the top 10%.

Now its back to Alabama to attend Judge Advocate Staff Officer Course on Oct 10.

It'll be nice not living out of a suitcase come late December.

Way to go. Lights at the end of the tunnel are always nice.

They let you have suitcases in training school? Soft, man.

Searching for a computer to buy started turning into this "thing," and I was freaking out, so I used Amazon's "you have XX hours to order and receive it tomorrow!" timer as a decision-making tool. I'll have my new computer in hand tomorrow.

Asus F50Sf-A1

Curse you people and your sub-1000 bucks affordable laptops, I want one. =|

Grefter · « **Reply #2222 on:** October 01, 2009, 11:00:15 PM »

OOOHHHH Asus F5 series is nice. Think my dad got one in that series this year and it is very nice. The Laptop I have had at the last 2 cons (Not sure if you guys ever even saw it though...) was an older F3 series as well. Asus do good business.
