I AM STRESSED, AND MUST RANT

[sea_serpent]

Fuck, guys, I have turned into someone that never posts. This ticks me off so much! D8I have midterms coming up, must study, yadda yadda yadda. But you know what the main deterrent to playing Sims is for me? The main reason why I've played so little this past year? The fact that I don't have a table or desk to put my computer on when I play!! D8

I...am so glad my mid-terms are over (except for this mid-term essay I'm typing up, but you know) and we have a lovely thing called reading break which was a week this semester which makes me all kinds of joyously happy except for the fact that it's over and back to school on Monday. Joy.

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR MIDTERMS! You are not going to fail anything.

Also, omfg ew for not having a desk/chair/something half-way decent to prop your laptop of wonder on DDDDJust a heads up, exchange offices are EVIL, EVIL THINGS. Someone on my f-list is in Japan but she had to pester the office to send in forms, had to phone the exchange university herself, and basically it ended up that she got her information like, DAYS (if even that) before she got on the plane, so for the longest time, she did not know if she was going to be able to get on the plane with the ticket she had booked ages ago from lack of a visa coming in. (I may be slightly inaccurate as I don't quite remember, but it was a HUGE HASSLE regardless

See, we get a week off too! The only thing is, ALL MY EXAMS ARE RIGHT AFTER IT D8 I had no classes this week, but I've spent the second half of it reading incredibly boring and stuffy material because my midterms all take place on Monday and Tuesday next week DX It is made of suck and FAIL and I'm jealous of all my friends, who had exams before reading week

[kittyyuri]

Yep, definitely glad mine were before reading break and, um, what is the point of them giving you a "break" when it is BEFORE MIDTERMS?! Your university is evil.

GOTTA LOVE STANDARD EXCHANGE OFFICE PROCEDURE. Seriously, is there any exchange office that doesn't do that? Because I would be totally shocked if there was. They like to make sure you REALLY REALLY REALLY want it, which may or may not drive you slightly insane and increase the urge to stab something with a blunt object. XD

It's..."only" midnight here. I will...okay not finish my essay but I'll get more done omfg I am SO glad the due date was pushed back, yay for class cancellations and nice professors :DDDD

Just think, soon the mid-terms will be over! Then you'll be returned to your usual accelerated 'I want you to memorize these 40 pages by tomorrow and if you don't you fail' program!! :D . . . DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD:

If I see any stray luck floating about, I'll shoo it your way.

Hah, here we don't call it 'reading break', we call it 'reading week'. Because they know you'll spend the entire week studying rather than enjoying yourself XD

Seriously, I don't know wtf is wrong with the exchange offices. I told them that they'd sent me the wrong paperwork (this is when they tried putting me in the wrong programme) and what do I get? "We're sorry, but we are not taking in any email questions during reading week. If you are having an emergency, please call us at this number." and I'm like WOW, ARE YOU SERIOUS -__- Way to go guys. So I'm not even going to get the correct paperwork until tomorrow (not that I have any time to get anything filled out before then anyway, but still).

See, I'm lucky in that I don't have a lot of courses that require long readings... but those that do have incredibly BORING ones. So I kept on putting them off and now it's come back to bite me in the ass because I have to go through all of them for Tuesday. It does not make me a happy panda D:

Thank you, I'll be needing it DX

You should get one of those lap desks that you can use to put laptops on I think they sell them at Ikea.

[sea_serpent]

First I'll have to find out where Ikea IS here in Toronto, heh. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

[lauriethemuppet]

XD where in toronto are you and I can tell you where it is and how to get there, I grew up in toronto dude.

I'm close to Bloor and Spadina, so really close to UofT's St. George campus :P

=[ i'm so sorry you're having such a shitty time. no worries about not posting, obviously you have more important things going on. we can wait. <3 good luck on your exams!! despite the fact you feel like you're going to fail all of them, i'm sure you'll do fine. i hope this comment makes you a little bit happier =]

[sea_serpent]

I just feel bad because I never even post when I'm /NOT/ that busy :/ I never realized that the lack of a table would be such a huge deterrent (luckily my programme at the university doesn't require writing a lot of essays, because those are a bitch to sit through, too). I guess if all else fails I am secure in the knowledge that I'll be going back to my mom's for the summer, and I have a desk there... so at least I'll start posting more often then. And once schools starts again I will either be in a university dormitory because of the exchange, or will make sure to get a bigger bedroom since the lease on this apartment ends in June... anyways, sorry, I'm rambling again.

Thank you for your encouragement :D It does make me feel better, actually XD

Uni starts in a week for me, and I'm so worried. I've never done the go-to-class-everyday kind of school, added to a two hour commute. :(

AND WE LOVE YOU EVEN IF YOUR LIFE NO LETS YOU PLAY SIMS. *glomps*

[sea_serpent]

Omg, I'm so sorry to hear about your commute D: I live at a 15 minute walk from my campus and even then I have trouble making it to every class. Good luck!

THANK YOU 8( SOMEDAY I MIGHT HAVE A DESK AGAIN

[sea_serpent]

I hate school during midterm/exam season. Especially when it's a midterm for a class that you find extremely boring *sigh*

Good luck to you, and I hope that school stops being stressful for you as well :(
