[Clear Tranquil]

Thank God the heating in my bedroom's getting fixxed.

[Lady Door]

Nearly killed myself this morning with exercise.

God I am out of shape.

*siiiiigh*

I had a very unfortunate occurrence happen to me last night. At about like, 11 PM, I had a seizure in my bed, and had to be brought to the hospital, where I stayed over night. The next morning, I had a huge headache and felt overwhelmingly tired. I ended up sleeping at the hospital 'til about 5 PM, at which point, I finally went home.

To any who aren't aware, I actually had epilepsy for a couple years of my life, and have had a number of seizures in the past... but the last seizure I had was over 3 years ago. I was sure my epilepsy was cured, but it's decided to come back on me. Gonna have to start taking meds again, and I'm gonna have to monitor my use of the computer. I probably won't be on too, too much less than I usually am, but I felt like sharing.

[Shale]

Man, that sucks. Hope it was a one-time thing.

[Veryslightlymad]

BLEH. That's the sort of thing I have nightmares about.
~~~
Started up my first production class, and OH MAN, I love the way it feels to stand behind a Camera. I got lucky to be an example guy and fiddle with the zoom and focus and that, but the thing just.... feels right. I'm more confident that this is something I could enjoy doing.

[Hunter Sopko]

Actual TV Cameras are fun. I used to help film the town council meetings in high school.

[Clear Tranquil]

Man, that sucks. Hope it was a one-time thing.

Yeah *hugs Piggy* take care.

* Clear Tranquil signs up for Tai Chi classes

This should be interesting >.>

[TranceHime]

Seizures are unfun and I hope you get better soon man. :[

* TranceHime thinks about Saturday

Got accepted into one of the universities I applied for! Now to wait for the results of the other one, so I can decide. I graduate this year, after all.

[Clear Tranquil]

Impossible ^.~

(congrats)

[Taishyr]

Piggyman: Ouch. Take care of yeself, dude.

Trance: Cool! Which colleges?

[Cotigo]

Piggy:  That sucks, dude.  Hope your epilepsy doesn't come back in full force.

[ThePiggyman]

Thanks for the comfort everyone. I did get good news just a few hours ago, though. My doctor told me that, as long as I take my pills, I don't need to worry too much about how much time I spend in front of a screen (as long as it's not, y'know, exaggerated ;p), since I was proven to be seizure-free during my time taking the meds. So, epileptic or not, I'll be stickin' around. ^^;

And nicely done, Trance. Wish you the best at the school you do choose to go to. =)

[superaielman]

*Nods to Piggy* Hope it gets better.


At work. I need my damn calculator for math, otherwise eh. I don't really want to take either class seriously (IE wasting money on the books), but we'lls ee if I can get away with it. I got an A in first aid without the book or studying.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Hope you have a backup plan there, super. You probably can get away without spending bucks on books, but you need to make up for it with extra library roaming.

And I'm hungry. *Looks at food ordering opshuns.*

[superaielman]

Dude I work at the library, at the circulation desk. I can just swipe the books fro the back.

I'm too cheap to order out for food.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

I'm too cheap to order out for food.

I just use the food aid card for that. =P

Classes started. Underexcited. Shocking.

Dr. Decker Northern Early Modern Art [Northern Ren "for those not up on art history scholarship") is as expected. Favorite professor my entire college career in Art History despite his disposition to curse like a sailor.

Egyptian Colloquiual Arabic seems fine. Actually have to learn how to write in MSA, but we're not being graded on it. Will learn how to write in ECA also, but the focus is on speaking clearly. I'll just ignore those students who keep asking MSA questions since uh, this is a speaking course and not writing, kthx. Stop asking questions about feminine indicators when we haven't even learned the fapping alphabet.

Modern Philosophy II - seems okay. David is in there. TTGL ftw + he's a PHIL major and I may implore his intelligence when I'm baffled. I THINK he tried to say hi to me today, but I had an ear ache and later went to sleep at the library, so I shamefully didn't turn around. I don't think he said anything actually. I'll keep telling myself this.

Egyptian Art&Arch II - my professor is too busy to be in class 'cos she's filming in Egypt for some Discovery channel movie. But fortunately someone is filling in her place and she seems very perky, so the first 4 days of class shouldn't be so bad.

Capstone - haven't taken it yet. This Friday before I visit the Middle Eastern Institute for Egyptian food and movies. GSU obligated AH professors to change the AH graduating requirements where we need a Capstone class. Essentially we create a portfolio for getting into graduate school. Discovered that there's only 11 students in the class. Sonny Perdue passed a law stating colleges to increase minimum class sizes to 17 as taxpayers don't want to support smaller classes. I wonder how many taxpayers even know about the change . . .  anyway, rumor is they might shut down the class. This would be significantly unfortunate because I need to graduate, plus it gets me to 120 credit hours. If they do cancel it, they still better guarantee my fucking graduation by putting me under another catalog or some shit. I don't think there's the course police like that anyway - perhaps they'll let it fly for this semester. The Arts and Humanities is the largest department in the school actually, and we have less power than those math and science smaller schools. Hah.

Jealous.  That was one I always wanted to take but didn't get the opportunity (thanks mostly to my music classes, which were quite inflexible).

[TranceHime]

Trance: Cool! Which colleges?

This place is where I got accepted, I'm waiting for results on this place which purportedly get released this Saturday.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

fffffffffffff daily withdraw limits.

[superaielman]

Computer plan cockblocked?

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Not really, it just means I have to wait until tomorrow to pay for it instead of getting it all worked out today. I withdrew $1000 today, the remaining $450 will be withdrawn tomorrow. I have until next Monday to pay for the purchase, so it's no big deal. It's just sorta inconvenient.

Ah, it does suck when you want to take a class, and it's offered certain semesters and certain times when you need something else. After taking my AH surveys I realized that Northern Ren has really been downplayed academically because of scholarship lathering and yearning for the nostalgia of Italian Renaissance, which is "the Renaissance." They ignore all of the artistic progress and modern achievements that have directly affected societies spanning multiple countries. We'll see how well that stands here. I don't know if you're up for it, but if I find an interesting peer reviewed article that's required (since we have no book), I may shoot it your way.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

urgh hungry
