Another semester over

I'm not entirely done. Next week is finals and I've a buttload of work to do (I'm still doing it after midnight now) but I'm done trying to teach this lot for at least a few weeks (half my classes are a full year).

It's raining so much. I could swim in the puddles. I wonder if it's killing my internet which keeps going out. I lost an entire review. I'm unamused. sigh. I need to stop doing them directly in Goodread's browser. It's not the first I've lost.

I'm SO over DISH. After not having Turner network for weeks (Missed half of Attack on Titan) now they refused to pay CBS. Their CEO stays why should I pay you because you give it up free online. Okay maybe valid but mostly he doesn't want money out of his deep pockets. If it's not fixed by the time I come back from Christmas, I'll be with Direct. DISH sucks anyhow.

I'll be posting the first chapter (in theory) of the faux-Viking thing on my original fiction filter and probably chapter one of my nano (with a comparison to do) over the weekend as a stress release from test making. So if you want on that filter (or off it) just tell me.

ELD posted dog fails yesterday so have some cat fails.

Not My Circus

Where or not the saying "Not my circus, not my monkeys' is really a Polish statement or not, I have to remind myself it makes an excellent point. I need to let some things slid past me (though I will saying blaming one entire group for the actions of a few is getting damned old and frankly stupid as hell). Know what else is getting old? Everyone who thinks 'wow look at that cute meme let me come shit all over it.' I'd like to be able to post things without someone twisting it into a forum for whatever bug is up their ass that day (this is more on other social media, those left here on LJ are usually better behaved).

It's not helping that I'm worn to the bone. I was so busy yesterday that I didn't realize I missed the Welsh fellow meeting until today. My lab ran over into it any how and I couldn't have gone but I'm SO upset I missed it. I was one of the few dissenters in turning this back into something elitest.

My only accomplishment today was getting the parasitology test done and half the pathophysiology one. It involved going to work on a weekend and it is creepy in that building by myself (okay I did spot one math prof roaming around too). This is hard work mentally but damn if I don't feel like I've been laying bricks all day or something.

I also feel sorry for the sports students. I had no idea until recently that they only got the weekend off for the holiday. I can't imagine how spooky it must be to be the only person in a dorm (we're a small commuter college so seriously it's possible to have only one or two people in the entire dorm). I see a story there.

I did get up the Viking story but not yet my Vampires in Vegas. It's nearly midnight and I'm just taking a break at the moment from my test. I have to get back to it.

I love exchanging cards so I joined DSP's card exchange. We were supposed to be using our real names but someone stuck Jana on the envelop and Dad's like who's that. I'm hoping he doesn't google it. THey know I write erotica. They don't know some of it is gay. I'm not sure how they'd take it and I'm just not up to it being a problem. I don't think it will be. He was able to handle Captain Jack Harkness but it's like tempting fate.

so to end on happier note, I got this old meme from idic_writer I LOVE that I single-handedly broke Iraqi.

Dear Santa... Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! In October I turned 0_mother_0 in for eating carbs (3 points). In February I didn't flush (-1 points). In November I put gum in evil_little_dog's hair (-12 points). Last Saturday I invaded Iraq, broke it, and couldn't glue it back together before Mom got home (-1012 points). In April silvrethorn and I robbed a bank (-50 points). Overall, I've been naughty (-1072 points). For Christmas I deserve a lump of coal! Sincerely, cornerofmadness

I always get coal. Can we at least press that carbon so its crystalline form is prettier?
