    I had my 2hr Religious Studies GCSE today. I did no revision but it went fine (I think...I hope). Just remain calm and try your best. Same for any subject. :)

    Same boat, if with Employment Law and having slightly longer to get to grips with it. Of the 7 topics I'm covering, I've only glanced at 3, know one fairly well and other than that...

    I blame this stress from the football. Worst thing is that even if we win tonight I won't be able to get back to normal because then I'll be hyper from looking forward to a trip to Wembley. And if we lose, I'll be inconsolable until the start of the new season.

    Well, I'm just taking one class at the local community college that I didn't have time to take at my university this past semester, but it's from 5:30-9:20 on Tuesday and Thursday. This is gonna be the longest four hours ever.

    Principles of Managerial Accounting. The "class" period is from 5:30-7:50, but apparently there is a lab from 8:00-9:20. However, I've heard some teachers don't require you to go to the lab if they feel it is pointless.

    Gah, I hope not. I feel like it will be easier than it would've been at my university though, since it's just a community college.

    rant alert

    I am seriously furious with a certain person who has decided to get pay tv (FOXTEL) and will have it connected this week. Ok, so it may sound stupid that I am furious with this person, but that isn't the whole reason I am furious with this person. See, this person owes someone over $18,000 and has done for about... just over 4 years. Now the person I am furious with has made no effort at all to pay the money back and continues to cry out poverty all the time, but this person has lots of money, it is just she wastes the money on material possessions that she really doesn't need, and on rubbish like facebook applications, pay tv, etc. Now the person she owes over $18,000 to, has very little money and is having problems paying off all the bills that are coming in, even had to get a re-draw on their housing loan to pay off half of their bills. So it is really making me furious that this person that owes the money is doing this when she could be paying back this person she owes the money to so this person can afford to pay the bills and relax and stop stressing herself out and putting more strain on her health when she has a life threatening illness.

    It just makes me cry that people in this world can be so damn arrogant and self centered and do this to someone who is dying for crying out loud. I think some people need to get their priorities sorted out. In the mean time, I am the one giving what little money I have to this person to help her pay her bills and it is causing so many financial problems for me. *sigh* The stress levels have gone through the roof!

    Uni, you are ****ing clueless. You have a go at me for low attendance when I told you about the timetable clash I had and asked you to rectify that? Then you don't rectify it and have the gall to not offer me assistance in my revision on the grounds that 'well, you should have been in the seminar'.

    I CAN'T BE IN TWO ****ING PLACES AT THE SAME ****ING TIME YOU ****ING IDIOTS! IT'S YOUR JOB TO SORT IT OUT!

    I apologise profusely for the fact the Bar Standards Board feels I must have 100% attendance in my BVC in order to pass. But that isn't my fault, so give me some assistance and don't be idiots about it.

    Also: no, I won't pay for a new black print cartridge. I've printed off 5 pages on the home printer in the past 2 years and that doesn't justify me buying a new cartridge for the whole family. My sister, on the other hand, uses it every night for half a dozen pages. If only my old printer wasn't complete ****e on a crusty roll.

    You have my sympathies. And I when I say that, I don’t mean empathy, I do mean sympathy.

    I have a family member who’s a regular bum all the time, yet puts the money he gets from said bumming to stupid uses. Money for diapers goes to fast food. That sort of thing. So I can sympathize with your situation.

    IMO, and this will be incredibly hard, you should cut this person out of your life if at all possible until, if ever, they correct their damaging financial habits. While people might think you’re a heel (as people thought of when I cut off my relative) in the end it’s the best for everyone involved. You’re only enabling them in their disease and giving a lot of grief to yourself. Do the right thing by you and by them, and let them know that they’ve gone past what it sensible for them and tolerable for you, and that you’d welcome them back into your life once they’ve straightened themselves out, for real.

    Be prepared for the worst kind of whinging ever. At 18k in the hole with just you, this person clearly is out to lunch on her life situation.

    Being a designer for a school magazine is frustrating when the President of the photography club is not passing me pictures and I have a deadline to meet. Term ends in about a week and I need the magazine's full print run finished. The only thing stopping me are pictures. Clearly, the president of this photography club needs to be replaced. You don't text someone 4-6 times over the weekend to pass you pictures and they ignore you like you are invisible.

    FML. -.-"

    a. I want to die. Like, right now. (well it wouldn't make a difference anyway, since it already feels like I'm dying.)

    b. I want to kill my brother cause he thinks he can read my emails.

    don't die Lyd!!!

    I'm not happy because the poor old dog pooped in the house potentially because my brother didn't let him out when he got home and instead went to go read in the bathroom instead. What pisses me off most is that he does this regularly-forgets about the dog and goes and does whatever he wants instead. And least he cleaned it up quietly.

    Anyways, I'm just in a really pissy mood today...too tired...wayyyyy too tired

    Nope, it's illegal, which means you're one sick bird to even contemplate it.

    Okay.
    So.
    This morning on facebook, I posted something about being excited to go to church #2 tonight. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, keep reading and it should make more sense.) Youth pastor from church #1 commented and made a snide comment about how I need to be going to my church.

    Not too big of a deal. Expected. Whatev.

    Thennn. the guy that is supposed to be preaching tonight said how proud he was of me for supporting church #2 and blah blah blah.


    This makes Emily sad, because Emily loves both churches equally and doesn't want either of them to not like each other. *sigh*

    I have a sister who is that same way, and it gets really frustrating sometimes. I'm sorry you have to put up with it, too. :(

    Yeouch. Frustrating, much? I hope you get things sorted...and that your family doesn't try to make you pay for the printer ink.

    Jeez! Definitely sounds like it's time for a replacement...

    I hope you feel better, Soul Sister! And I'm sorry about your brother...

    Take a nap!!! I'm tired, too...

    Dude, I saw that on FB, and I knew you were going to be upset about it. Personally, I think youth pastor #1 should just be happy that you're going to church, regardless of which church it is...

    I'm not upset, really, just a little irked...my family likes to send me political forwards, which is fine, except they know that I don't share the same political views as they do. Want to send me your silly little forwards? Alright, but be prepared to start getting forwards from me that you're not going to like...

    I hate those damn things nearly as much as I hate Army Worms. Destroyed a camper-trailer my family owned one time. Ick.
