I don't know when I find out my uni application results but the application closing date is 11th of February and the classes start on the 28th of February. I don't know what's going to happen and I don't like not knowing this. Normally I am fine with vagueness but not when it is actually affecting me. Also I really don't know what I'll do if I don't get into uni. Like, life-wise.

So, hey, has anyone ever had a doctor scratch off a badly healed wound from their cornea? I mean, in relation to the other physical ailments occassionally mentioned in this thread (brain surgery and such) it's probably nothing but aside from all that but, boy, is it an interesting feeling to have someone scrape at your eyeball!

I have had eye patched up for quite a bit now. Which is annoying and tiring.

I have also lost my job.

So, currently I am financially and physically totally pointless.

When I was a kid (and through most of high school), we had the raddest little donut shop just down the street from me.

Now we have Dunks.

How does someone go about demoting a bridesmaid? My cousin is pissing me off to no end, and I really don't feel like dealing with her for the next year. I asked her to be involved because we grew up together practically as sisters and though we drifted as teens, we were still cool when we got together. I'm just now seeing that she is selfish, petty and cruel, and I just don't want to deal with it anymore. Love her dearly, but is there any tactful way of kicking her out? UGH.

Lines · « **Reply #2858 on:** 19 Jan 2011, 14:10 »

Tricky. My way would be to tell her to GTFO but that's not tactful. Say you've decided to cut back on the number of bridesmaids?

The bakery/ice cream (Graeter's, my favorite sweets place ever) parlor down the street started selling pączki that's filled with cream cheese (or possibly bavarian cream, I forget) and OH MY GOD MUST RESIST. Also the black raspberry was tops. But it's a lot easier to resist donuts now since I'm not working right across the street from a bakery (Busken, also a good bakery) and the donuts on campus suck. But seriously, Graeter's is open until like 11pm and it is seriously hard to resist going there for ice cream, cheese crowns, donuts, and cookies every day.

celticgeek · « **Reply #2862 on:** 19 Jan 2011, 15:25 »

Ah, yes, Graeter's - definitely one of the finest. They also sponsored Fine Arts Music on Sunday morning on WEBN.

I GOT IN TO SYDNEY UNI!

As of this year I will be studying a Bachelor of Socio-Legal Studies. I have no idea whether I want to actually complete this degree or just use it to get into Combined Law, but we shall see. It sounds really interesting and I think I'd be able to do Law as postgrad anyway. I have to go down next week to enrol in my classes and things.

On Saturday I have to be in Sydney at 9:30am SO I CAN SIGN A LEASE ON A HOUSE. I am so excited. I will be moving as soon as internet and things are set up as I will be taking my job with me and working from home (which requires internet). The Boy will move once his four week's resignation notice is up.

I AM MOVING TO SYDNEY AND I HAVE A HOUSE AND A DEGREE AT THE UNI I WANT AND EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I got to sleep at my new house last night!

Not for any exciting reasons, just because that is where Tiger the cat goes when we have a house inspection and last time she went she stayed up all night meowing so this time I thought I should go with her.
I slept in my new room but on someone else's bed which was hard as a rock. Add the fact that the toilet was broken so I was busting all night, and that Tiger was upset and pacing all over the room and kept walking all over me and scratching things that didn't belong to me and making lots of noise in her litterbox and that I had been reading a book about murders before I tried to go to sleep... yeah I didn't sleep last night actually.

The train trip to work was nice though.

Tonight I am supposed to go to an awards show that my boyfriend's band has a nomination in (Best Live Band in Sydney!) but dang I am tired and I just want to get my cat and go home to my proper bed. Eeesh.

i got my TA evaluations back today, pretty good for the most part! by far the most common compliments were "tania really knows her stuff and is good at answering questions" and "tania is really friendly and approachable" which to be honest i did not expect at all because i ended up teaching a course i knew absolutely nothing about whatsoever (policing - you could seriously not get any further from what i am actually researching here) and also i thought i was really mean like literally 100% of the time. oh well! regardless, it was really nice to get much more positive feedback than i was expecting. today has been an appropriately smug day.

Elizzybeth · « **Reply #2868 on:** 19 Jan 2011, 17:00 »

I just locked my keys in the car on my way up to my house, thus effectively locking myself out of my car and apartment in the time it takes to close a door.

In my old apartment, I would've just pulled off one of the screens and shoved the window open, but evidently the doors & windows are more secure here.

My boyfriend doesn't finish school for a couple of hours, so I am waiting on my porch, using the wireless, feeling stupid.

GenericName · « **Reply #2869 on:** 19 Jan 2011, 19:25 »

I used to do that so frequently. I eventually decided I would start thinking of it as involuntarily spending an afternoon outside. Except once it turned cold, then it was spending an afternoon really pissed at myself!

The hotel that I'm staying at has a full on spa in it which is great. After a day's skiing it's really nice to chill out in the outdoor pool while the snow if falling before heading off to the steam rooms and sauna before dinner. Alas is does mean sitting in the restaurant spotting the old men you've just sat next to sweaty and naked.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing, afterall the human body is an amazing thing, especially in it's diversity. It just is the sort of thing I particularly like to contemplate over a plate of perch with creamed spinach and potato.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #2874 on:** 20 Jan 2011, 07:01 »

I feel bad though because I get the feeling that a big, big part of why I joined is to stay in touch with me while I'm overseas. She's not the most tech-savvy person.

Facebook needs an "everybody but your mother" privacy setting that I can turn on for the (many, many) things I post with gratuitous swears etc.

nekowafer · « **Reply #2875 on:** 20 Jan 2011, 07:09 »

I have a facebook for one of my ferrets - I just tell my family I don't use fb often but that's the one I use most. And I have my profile pretty much hidden. It's tough though, considering half my family is on there - all the cousins, mother, both maternal grandparents and even a great-grandparent and great-aunts and such. You could do something like that, or you can be honest and say you won't add family. I did that for a while, then eventually added my sister (who has grown up considerably in the last few years, she didn't even make fun of my profile saying I'm bisexual) and a step-brother.

You can set that up pretty easily actually with the privacy options.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #2883 on:** 20 Jan 2011, 07:53 »

She did, we Skype all the time. Which is also kind of why I'm still reluctant to Facebook friend her. It seems unnecessary! Especially because it's actually really rare that I post real news on FB, if ever.

Actually this probably isn't even anything to stress out about. I'm willing to bet that she'll never actually check the dang thing, and her profile will be a ghost town.

I was thinking of taking four classes instead of three this semester - the one I have that's named functional web design seems to be a bit about user interface and a lot about all the stuff the lecturer has done, so I should have the spare time to do something useful (like linear algebra). Now I've got the job to handle my re-enactment group's homepage, and that's written in php, so I think I'll maybe spend spare time focusing on learning that by myself instead. Good idea y/n?

Also, I'm studying java, so I'm guessing that learning php, which like java is object oriented, should be overcomeable. Am I right?

really though, when i was living in guelph long time ago there was a period of about a year where at some point after visiting my parents, the home page for the internet browser on their computer somehow ended up being set to my public livejournal (remember when people still had these?) and in guelph i updated it weekly with terrible things from my life that, unbeknownst to me, my parents would read every single day. they did this for like a year before they finally asked me about my near miss with being charged with fraud in a phone conversation and i asked "whoa how do you know about that?" and they said "oh we read your journal thing every day, it's what the internet automatically goes to" and then there were a couple of minutes where i turned very very white and had several panic attacks in rapid succession trying to recall everything i had ever written in there. it turned out they didn't give a shit and barely understood most of it, they just thought my cussing and constant poor decisions were funny. family is weird sometimes.
