FFFFFFFF...inals.

Sun Dec 13, 2009, 6:42 PM
I've been studying for a number of hours for one of my two finals tomorrow, and it only just occurred to me why it seemed to be taking so long.

It's a history final that has OVER 1000 TERMS that have to be memorized. Oh, and after doing some more math, I realized that maybe that's because it covers 402,000 YEARS of history. Frickin Sweet! You know why? Huh? Ask me why that's so awesome! Ask! Ask! IT'S AWESOME...

...BECAUSE IT'S A FILL-IN-THE-BLANK TEST WITH NO WORD BANK!!! :heart:

My other final is Japanese, and for once in my life I really don't care very much about that one any more. I hate the class, and the department, and the teacher, and all of my incentive to continue was stripped from me when I got denied the opportunity to participate in an immersion program this summer. So screw you, Japanese. One more semester and I'll have my minor and I'll never have to utter your ugliness again.

Just kidding. You're not that bad.

But no, really. I hate you.

The good news is, even though my OWN DEPARTMENT REJECTED ME, I found a teacher (specifically a Colonel who's the Director of Staff to the Dean) who took up the slack. So, thanks to the Dean's staff for offering me a different, BETTER opportunity: a cultural immersion trip to Eastern Europe (notably Auschwitz).

So suck it, Foreign Language Department.

JUST FOUR MORE FINALS AND THEN I CAN GO HOME.

HOLY CRAP

Oh. My. Gawd.

The USAFA network just blocked Facebook, Hulu, and Pandora.

Among others. Last time I checked LastFM was blocked, too. In fact, I've only found three websites that DO work...I have nothing left to live for. *sobs*

I'll be damned if I decide to use my new freetime to go jogging in the negative 30 degree windchill, and I'm almost out of books to read...

IT'S NOT FAIR...IT'S NOT LIKE WE HAVE LIVES TO FALL BACK ON HERE. We're trapped on a friggin military base in Siberia.

AND THE FUCKING HEATER IN MY ROOM IS BROKEN.

EDIT: Lo,communication from THE MAN:

"Due to finals this week and the following, 10 CS has restricted network traffic to just official traffic. Network traffic configuration will be restored once all testing has been completed. "

Running Out of Canvas Space

Sat Dec 5, 2009, 7:21 PM
So, I don't know what kind of person I am, but apparently I project my existence much like my desktop wallpaper. When it gets old, I need to make it new again. I need to change something, and I do so with wild abandon and very little attention span.

Normally I change my hair. That's easy to do, right? Every different color, all sorts of crazy haircuts (although they're all short...can't do much to add length on a whim), changing the part and the way I style it and the products I use and whether it's straight or curly...but there's only so far you can go in one medium, right?

So anyway, I had one tattoo and five piercings until yesterday. I love my tattoo, but I also like having the chameleon thing going on, being able to look like a lady when I'm dressed and a badass when my shirt's off. In that vein, I figured this time (when my little internal alarm bell went "TIME TO CHANGE") I would get a piercing instead. Up until now they've all been ear piercings, and I can't really do that anymore because of uniform regulations. So yesterday I opted for something different! Exciting! A new color of paint on the canvas!

The pain doesn't really bother me, at least not getting a piercing. I'm so used to needles that I think I could get one put through my eye and I'd just shrug it off. But the residual hurt is a little annoying.

But, lo, good news! Two of my BFF guy friends wanted to go shooting today and they took me along. We drove up into the mountains...while we were out there shooting, some other people showed up too...soon it was a veritable party of arsenal. Between all of us there were sniper rifles, assault rifles, shotguns, and handguns...if the zombie apocalypse had happened right there and then, we would've won.

I had such a good time though, and now I smell like gun grease, and I've decided that next month I'm going to buy an AK-47. No big deal. I'm just gangsta like that.

I'ma hafta keep finding new mediums for my life canvas, yo.
