Whatever, Let's Have A Goddamn Blog Thread, But Try And Keep It Reasonable
Barmymoo:
Patrick, do you spend your whole time there looking at ladies? Because I would quite like to have your job. Except that it's in Alaska (also McDonalds somehow seems to go against my vegetarian principles, for what they're worth).
Today I wrote a song, and it was actually good unlike that crap I churned out for the One Album One Day challenge. Now I just have to get the guts to play it to the guy I wrote it for/about, and we're on the home straight.
It might be a good idea if I don't use references to a game I don't understand.
Anyway. I leave for Germany a week on Tuesday and I ripped my second pair of jeans today, meaning that I now have a total of one pair of jeans for five weeks. I think an emergency shopping trip is order, although I don't know when. Next weekend we have to go to the airport to pick up the Swiss boy who is coincidentally coming to stay when I go away. Ah well. I usually only wear this one pair of jeans, and some skirts, so it'll have to do.
Tomorrow I have yet another lesson with our incredibly irritating cover teacher, since our Law teacher is still on paternity leave. I think if we didn't have such a great real teacher, we wouldn't hate the replacement so much, but the basic fact is that he is teaching us wrongly. Last week he told us that legal causation was connected to whether you inteded to commit the crime or not, which would be useful to know if a) we hadn't already covered (and been examined on) that topic last year and b) it wasn't totally wrong. Legal causation is part of the actus reus, which is nothing to do with states of mind.
Anyway never mind that. I shall manage by repeating to myself "Paternity leave is a basic right and it's only two weeks". Also by ignoring him totally and just working my way through the topic on my own.
I'm so jealous of you Tronnocon people.

My mom just gave me more shit for forgetting to water the plants than she gave my brother when he did 111km/h in a 60km/h zone, lost his license for half a year and had to pay 12000NOK. And, apparently, I never help around the house, so I get yelled at for that constantly. Oh, I'm sorry, making dinner when asked, keeping the kitchen clean when home alone with my two brothers, helping out with stuff in the garden, watering the plants outside when asked and driving her around isn't helping out?
Suffices to say, I wanna go back to my dorm room. Sucks that I have a summer job set up that begins next week, and I have to stay at home until August.
On a happier note, I got an A on my human-computer interaction exam! And a B in software engineering, but failed physics (again). Pretty damn worried about the database and communication exams, but don't think I failed them. Maybe.
muffy:
I am pretty intrigued as to what a human-computer interaction exam would entail... Though I figure it's just some terminology I'm not used to, it still sounds bizarre and kind of cool. Like, 'How often do you talk to your computer?', 'Do you guys hang out often enough?' sort of questions.
Anyhoos, Blog Thread, (I have had a slightly crappy week and have learnt to never depend on the emotionaly obtuse), though on the upside, I have been given super-strong painkillers, which, while they still don't deal with the pain entirely, make me feel fluffy and fuzzy enough not to care. Sort of like being pounded on the head repeatedly by a soft foamy mallet. In a good way. That, and I've also been given a referral to a back pain specialist who will hopefully help with my mobility issues - though this may seem silly, it's pretty important to me, and therefore I am pretty happy about this.
I have, however, decided to accept that if I can't walk well, I shall at least do it in style, so have bought a pair of sex-worthy 5" stilettos, which, though I can't really walk in them,look hot as hell.
Moral of the story: shoes solve everything.
Ladybug:
Something like that. It was pretty much 50/50 between design and construction (in Java/Swing :/) of GUIs, with the goal being to learn how to design and create GUIs with great usability (effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction for specified users with specified goals in particular environments). I really liked the class, actually (in spite of uesless lectures with way too many old Apple-related YouTube-videos, metaphors, personal anecdotes and presentations with random pictures/stick figures), so it feels good to get a good grade in it.
imapiratearg:
Dear Blog thread,
So, apparently, there was some sort of memo that went out to everyone I know, giving them full rights to take whatever I say and construe it into something else entirely different. Or, you know, make it up entirely.
I guess that's cool.
Or not.
'Cause now I get told off for things that didn't even happen.
Awesome.
