So I come home Friday and find my internet is down. No big deal, happens for a couple of hours daily on a regular basis. And it doesn't come back up. So Saturday I call the cable company. They can't send a guy until Wednesday. ARGLEFUCK.

Turns out the problem is with the line and my old modem was just barely compensating for it before. Gave me a different modem that deals with it better while they fix the actual problem.

Missed 5 days of Crazy Stone experience in Perfect World.

Coming back home is always a wonderful experience. My grandma cries at the drop of a hat, yesterday I went out with her and she started sobbing as we talked about me moving. It's kind of frustrating because I am super excited about moving and it makes her beyond emo. Otherwise, it's really nice to live with the parents. They aren't really intrusive, don't live out in the sticks, and I hooked up with some servicable internet for the next couple of weeks. Yay.

Friday is "put Windows XP on the compy and transfer files" day. hope that goes well.

Hmm, so the day has come faster than I expected.

Well, I am off to Hong Kong, and going to hopefully reunite with all my friends for a while again... So, hopefully, things will pan out well for me there and the trip will be smooth!

So, uh... my last law school exam was finished yesterday. I guess I'm done? Assuming I pass everything. Now for a wonderful summer of job hunting and bar prep.

The site of Andrew and LD's new poverty: we moved to Oakland and might die before DLC.

In other news, we're both still jobless. But who cares! Commencement is on Saturday, I couldn't care less about my finals and can afford to fail them without jeopardizing my graduation, and we have free rent until July. I'll panic later; I'm totally copacetic right now.

As a bonus, after today I no longer have to translate Beowulf and I can actually have ~~real-life interests and hobbies~~ a life again.

The apartment doesn't look so bad from the pictures. But the Oakland horror tales are scary enough to make the ominous linkage not just hot air, I guess. <_< Hope things go well for you two.

Hey, let's not get crazy here.

What is this thing you call a life?

superaielman · « **Reply #658 on:** May 14, 2009, 09:39:29 PM »

Bad: Getting into a car accident. Worse: Doing it in your mother's car. A sign you should've stayed in bed this morning: Hitting a pastor.

Going to the beach with a friend after was great, but I still want a redo on today.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #659 on:** May 14, 2009, 09:41:37 PM »

At least it wasn't Newark.

....that's not fun.

Everybody (and every car) okay? I hope?

superaielman · « **Reply #661 on:** May 14, 2009, 09:56:01 PM »

Yeah, mostly. I think I got a mild concussion (Unsure, could've been the shock as well) . The front hood and bumper are damaged, but the rest of the car's fine. The other guy's car was lightly damaged, just a scraped bumper and slight hitch damage.

The fun part was getting lost on the way home, running out of gas, being unable to open the gas tank, having to call my old job and having someone from there go to my house to tell my family to pick me up since no one at home was responding to the phone, along with all the waiting.

If you lived in any other country I would tell you that Concussion is a thing not to be fucked around with and to go get a check up just in case, but of course this is not a country with health care. So walk it off you vagina.

superaielman · « **Reply #663 on:** May 14, 2009, 10:40:45 PM »

I am painfully aware of the risks. I'm going to the doctor day after tomorrow, but yeah.

OblivionKnight · « **Reply #664 on:** May 14, 2009, 10:45:04 PM »

If you think you got a concussion and hit your head, see a doctor immediately.

Who was that person who died? Tasha Richardson? Thought she was fine, didn't see a doctor, died the next day. Intracerebral hemmorrhages can present subclinically. You're probably ok, but check it out just in case.

Shale · « **Reply #665 on:** May 14, 2009, 10:53:23 PM »

If you think you got a concussion and didn't hit your head, consult a dictionary.

But yeah, what OK said. Do not fuck around with head trauma.

Tasha Richardson. This came up in my anatomy class when they were talking about the treatment of concussions and subdural hemotomas.

Yay, Idun. What happened exactly when you talked to the dean?

Oakland is a scary place in general, but this side of Oakland is about as pleasant as it can be while still being in the city. Not going to be able to wander the streets at night or anything like that, but I'm not in danger of drive-by shootings or drug deals or anything like that, either. We're in the neighborhoody/artsy warehouse district down by the water, home to a lot of upscale living buildings (and they're trying to expand and make it even more family friendly), so we're pretty good. Also, 5 blocks from the BART which will get us anywhere else we would rather be. >_>

As for the life thing... well. Last time I had this much freedom I went crazy with it, so here's hoping I've learned.

--

I hope everything's okay, super. Car accidents are no fun.

I had the misfortune of having mine in an awkward fashion too: I rear-ended an off-duty cop. My car was totaled as the radiator got punched through by the trailer hitch -- and I was driving with my car full of stuff to move up to Berkeley. Fun times. D:

Crossing my fingers there's no trauma/drama.

I didn't have to appeal that high. I just went to the head of the Arts and Humanities department. There, she lectured me about my responsibility for attendance, etc. Then she warned me that if I operate on a teacher's word, to at least get it documented as a referendum that the entire class can cite. Otherwise, she discovered that out of all the students, I was the only student he made an extreme mathematical error with (by carrying a 1 wrong) and questioned his capriciousness I claimed. Instead of leaving with a D, I just got the C+ expected.

Art teachers + math = brain sludge.

Edit* noticed I totally slash-raped your quote Super. Eh, you know who I'm quoting. :]

DONE. I'm going to fucking sleep for a week.

Good: Did better on two of my exams than I thought I was going to. Though my flash drive broke, the only class it affected had a professor who knew me and knew I wasn't asking for an extension because I was lazy. One of my essays (which I typed the night before, mind you) had the comment "Cody, you put some of the graduate students to shame with your application of theory." I am fucking done for the semester and don't have to spend another night at the 24 hour library for a while.

The bad: Can't get an A in my History class because I stopped showing up to the discussion groups halfway through which for some reason is like 1/5 of my grade. I guess I'll have to settle for a B oh noes. The essay I lost was a 15 page report (I was 14 pages in) that the last available draft I had was 3 pages. ;_;

I will be hitting people up for Smash or TF2 and possibly getting L4D soon. But first, hedonism and sleep.

They normally call that Onanism Zenny, unless you have discovered something amazing in which case I don't know why you are at University when you could be making a fortune selling this technique.

Cotigo · « **Reply #672 on:** May 15, 2009, 03:46:57 PM »

Application of theory. Masturbation. I get it.

Grefter · « **Reply #673 on:** May 15, 2009, 03:54:06 PM »

Actually it was about Hedonism and auto fellatio.
