Orientation today ground my gears. I was hoping for a 1-to-1 session with an advisor. Instead I got a introduction to college for an hour and a half and then 3 advisors walking around a room of students on laptops.

First of all, there should be a different orientations for people who are new to college and transfers and people who have otherwise been there, or at least start noobs at 11 and transfers show up at 12 for pertinent info. And B, if I tell an advisor that the schedule completely derails my plan, I need better input than, "bummer, brah." You might not be able to fix anything, but don't give me irrefutable evidence of your utter disinterest. :mad:



"bummer, brah." :laugh:



Ya brah this totally harshed my mellow, no fake.

WGMG - I pulled a muscle in my chest. I have to almost everything left handed now. Even laughing hurts. I rolled over in bed and I was immediately awake because even that hurts.

I have to drive almost 2 hours tomorrow allowing extra time for traffic and getting ready on top of that and arrive at an unfamiliar school to take the SAT by 7:30 in the morning. I'm going to have to get up at 4 and it's not fair and they should have this in my town. Why does this place suck so much. I'm nervous too because I've never done this before or even seen a practice test.



SATs are pretty easy if you paid attention in high school.

I took em on mushrooms and did surprisingly well. This was almost 20 years ago though, so I don't really recommend it. If you're good at taking tests you'll be fine, if not you're screwed. Good luck :D

I don't think I did too bad on the SAT but math will be what killed me if anything. The most irritating thing was having to be there at 7 even though the test didn't start until 8:30 so I got to make a trip to the IHOP across town and come back around 8. Otherwise it was basically "show up, get your room number, and sit here for a ridiculously long time".

I'm apparently terrible at singing. I will sing on Xbox Live if I want to sing on Xbox Live. If that's a problem, fuck you. If Onerepublic's Counting Stars comes on, I'm singing, and I don't care who hears.

Allow me to offer a few counter-points to your "fuck you" to people who don't want to hear singing on Live. First of all, if its just a line or two it doesn't really bother me (I've done it a few times too I'm sure). Unless it is completely off key and with the wrong words. That's just a personal pet peeve of mine, and I have actually stopped talking with a few people online because of it. Second, would it bother you if someone just randomly started singing Sepultura or whatever music you don't like? I'm guessing it would, and you would probably mute them. If I was in party chat with Beyonce (or any other professional) and she started singing I'd mute her ass too. It's not about the quality of the singing, it's the principle. I realize I'm a grumpy old fuck who's not part of the "hey look at me!" generation so I never tell people to shut the fuck up, I just mute them. I just think it's a common courtesy to not annoy the shit out of people who are trying to enjoy themselves by playing some games. That being said, if singing on the mic is what you want to do, you certainly don't need anyone's permission to do so. I don't take it personally when people violate my ear-space, so maybe try not to take it personally if people aren't in the mood to hear it. Unless they want to be an asshole about it, then they can fuck off. :)

I sang three sentences. 3. People started screaming about it. I told them where the mute was. It just pissed me off at the time.
