I ate some six month old ice cream. Think it'll kill me? Already felt like a huge pile of shit anyway so whatever. Yesterday and today my mouse started crapping out. Acts like I'm double-clicking everything. Keep losing tabs and all kinds of annoying stuff. Ugh. At least buying a new mouse is affordable...but I just got a $50 cheque in the mail ( Read more... )

Well sometimes I feel like I have the worst of luck, so colour me ~*~so surprised~*~ :/

My quotation key is crapping out this evening too.

Hm, the Britain thing at least doesn't look too bad? It's nothing that's been passed into law yet anyway (And looking at their cap of 12,000 Euros a year... they're crazy outlandish price is pretty close to what American's pay per year. Though, I think that includes room and board, so a hike like that would be a little insane, though most seem to focus on about 6,000 Euros a year. In our terms, that's not actually bad. In European terms...) But again, it's nothing that's been *passed* just a reccomendation from one guy.

I actually thought it had been passed already, hence the protests. But I've been reading about it via a forum full of emotional people, misinformed people, and a handful of people who actually know what's really going on and trying to explain the facts, so not surprised at being wrong.

Different sources explain the money thing differently so I'm not entirely sure what it is, but something like 12,000 Euros, but I thought that's what the US paid for a college OUT OF STATE. Which, considering how vast the US is, that doesn't sound horrible. But the UK is only a tiny island compared to the US, so what? Plus everything is more expensive in Europe and you don't get paid as much apparently, which makes it even more gross. (Could be wrong but I could have sworn colleges in the state were only at around $6,000 but yeah I'm a complete dumbass so)

From what I could understand from the actual BBC news article, it hasn't been passed yet.

And, right, just tution in the USA for an in-state non private school is something like $7,500. But my bill with everything else runs into more like $15,000.

Oh...if you mean the article I linked, that's from October, so um. It might not have been passed yet but the protests started in late November at the earliest, and when they started I assumed it had been passed.

*hugs* Computer suck is sucky. D:

That thing has been passed, yeah. :( My British buddy has been flipping tables about it for a week now. (Not that I blame her.)

Challenging, but neat. Plus it was something I always just ~*~assumed~*~ happened in the game as a child since it just seems natural.
I always assumed that too. I didn't know that it didn't!

Thanks for the hug ♥ I'll try cleaning it tomorrow if I can, though the way this mouse is built I have no way how...See, if it was a ball/wheeled mouse I'd know how to take it apart and clean it, I did that all the time! Never tried with an optical one. Plus I really don't see how I could take it apart without breaking it so I'll probably just get a new one since this is cheap. >__> Though a) my dad said he had a spare one and b) he didn't say anything about making me pay, yay!

Yeah ffff the money's bad enough, but the protesting is disgusting. One kid gets sent to the hospital with brain damage and a another in a wheelchair gets dragged off across the street? WHAT THE HELL, BRITISH POLICE, THESE ARE CHILDREN or innocently-protesting-college-students ( ... )
