Laughter is the best medicine!

[Haids1987]

   You continually remind me of why I lead your fanclub!

[kindofdoon]

Thanks, Haids. You're the best.

[writerlove]

The bad: I faaaaaaaiiiillllllllll. At life. That tis all.

[Haids1987]

Aw, Kristen, don't say that!  Remember the words you sent me--God didn't give us timid little hearts, but fiery hearts of hope!  Things will get better.

[writerlove]

  thank you! I just said it because I'm super frustrated today. I wish we knew each other better Hailey, you sound sooo amazing.

The good: tonight's assignment is almost done
The bad: I'm exhausted

[tessspoon]

The GOOD: Might *possibly* be spending next summer in Washington
The BAD: Way too little time before I have to get up in the morning
The BAD: Hungry
The GOOD: Had fun playing trivia with the other comp sci peoples

THE BAD: Just got my supervision report for this term's essay work. It had words like "satisfactory" and "adequate" in it which, of course, makes me feel horribly unsatisfactory and inadequate and, in turn, makes me question why I'm here at all, if all I can get is "satisfactory" reports.

ooh... I know how that feels :-/ Bear in mind: the level at which you're working ("satisfactory" work in undergrad at Cambridge is different from "satisfactory" undergrad work at some podunk state school*... yes, I just used the "word" "podunk"... stop staring at me!), other forms of assessment for instance the assessment of the individual essays, and your supervisor's reputation (is he known as a particularly tough grader, fair grader? students are the place to look for this sort of thing; other professors, etc. are not likely to share their real opinion with a student they don't know personally if for no other reason than professionalism).



*erm... your mileage will vary: in the US there's basically a hierarchy to schools: community colleges (1-2 yr. institutions), state schools (such as Georgia State University, etc.), and more specialized schools--i.e. a college that is actually known for something (engineering schools, liberal arts colleges, etc.) I would imagine Cambridge would be in the upper end of that third tier.

Which Washington?  Washington State or DC?  If you're coming to the Emerald City, we should totally meet up!

I wish we knew each other better Hailey, you sound sooo amazing.

Thank you!  You seem pretty awesome yourself!

Washington State And only a few hours from Seattle Big *possibly* though, it's only if Jacob gets his internship there and I end up going with him. But hopefully, and then yes!

The BAD: Headache
The GOOD: Finally got some sleep after not really sleeping at all last night
The GOOD: Presentation went ok.

[Haids1987]

No way!  PM me the name of the city you might be staying in, I'll see if I know where it is.  That's exciting!

[Delling]

The GOOD: pie and tea
The BAD: that's all I've had to eat today! Just now! (no one's really shocked, I know )
The GOOD: it's always the simplest solution... I mean... I found a work around for not being able to SSH into my computer on campus... it's not perfect, but then what is? *shrug* (It's called Dropbox... which I was using anyway... SSH would still be better)

The BAD: despite thinking I had to help with little schoolkids this morning... they didn't come until noon
The BAD: I HATE TEH GETTINGS UP EARLIEHS!!

The GOOD: the kids were fun at least

The BAD: I could be needing to drop everything and go back to the States to attend a funeral at any time... quelle joie...

[Haids1987]

The BAD: I could be needing to drop everything and go back to the States to attend a funeral at any time...

Gah!  So sorry, Delling! Whose funeral might you be attending?

THE GOOD: It's been a pretty rockin' day today

THE GOOD: Cranberry apple juice.  Yums.

THE BAD: Crap weather, meaning my toddlers (lil' caterpillars that they are ) are stuck inside all day. 

[Delling]

Gah!  So sorry, Delling! Whose funeral might you be attending?

*would have said but thought he'd mentioned it before*
My great aunt Athleen's... she's been in the hospital for weeks now and last I heard hadn't been conscious since last Saturday... 

[Haids1987]

Perhaps you did mention it, but I don't remember reading about it.   Anyway, I'll pray for you and your family.  This calls for 'nother

[tessspoon]

And another.

[Delling]

aww 谢谢 谢谢 thanks guys! back

*checks his posts from his profile* hrmm... I guess I didn't mention it... or if I did it was a while ago.  *shrugs*

You murderer! :O

[Haids1987]
