It's got a very cohesive vibe to it. I think most Muse albums are like that. If you sit and listen to the whole thing it's like taking a musical journey.
I forget all the time how much later it is for you than me, so I'm like "it's only 7:30" and then I go "ohhh." |
mmhm, I'm 2hr ahead ^^"
I've been up since 11.30 when Mike called me on his break. Then out of the house since going on 1.30. Got back at 8. Had to go meet my group for my group project due in a little over a week. Then I hid in one of the libraries reading a book that the professor put on course reserve for us to us. Readthat for a couple hours. I got home around 8 after taking the bus. Wondering where Mike is because he texted me while I was on the bus. And then when I got back he was away. I'm thinking he's busy, went downstairs and left his phone charging. But then, that was almost 2hr ago. So, I'm thinking he got busy with something or he fell asleep. |
Aw Muse is a good band :3 I have their songs on my phone.
|
I used to have all their albums on my iPod and then I deleted a great deal of them beyond the last three albums because I was sick of having so much.
Sounds like not too bad of a day, Ser. I just had to go out to Wal Mart to get some food for the week, and becaue I needed a new USB flash drive since somebody at my college managed to break my old one. *glares* |
Ooo that sucks when jump drives get broken or lost(thats something I have done) I'm glad your day went well Ely.
|
What happened was I accidentally left it in the computer lab. I knew I'd left it, but had to get to class.
By the time I was able to get back, someone had taken it out of the computer and left it at the front desk, but whoever took it out broke it. Unintentionally I presume, but nonetheless they broke it. |
Oh :( and you had all your assignments to I'm sorry that it broke.
|
Meh. I hadn't saved any of this year's assignments on it yet, those were on my laptop, so it was okay. I was sad to lose some poetry that was on it, but I gave it to my dad and apparently he was able to save the files but not the drive, so even that's okay.
|
Well thats good to hear at least you saved it somewere safe.
|
Hopefully you didn't have anything important on there o.o
|
Nah. My dad says he was able to save everything on there somehow, though. It was unfixable though. Retrieved the files, but couldn't make it so I could use it anymore.
|
Aw well that does suck its sad when things are beyond repair.
|
That's good you were able to recover the files. I would go crazy if I couldn't ^^"
|
I'm not the normal person who keeps their life on a flash, but I did have a couple poems on there I would have been sad to lose.
I keep most my stuff on my laptop, but I'd only be really freaked if that blew if I was in the middle of a thesis that I didn't have saved anywhere. o.> |
Being a Library Science student, our professors drill it into our heads to back up everything we do. ^^"
We work with computers more than I thought years ago. |
There are some things I worry about, and some I don't. If it's important I have it backed up in at least two different places, but if it's easily replaceable I don't bother.

Crimson - I wonder if that's what heaven looks like, or hell. Maybe a spoonful of both x3. Oh, that's cool! My initial thought was, "I wonder if they're making enough to pay back student loans..."
I think it's the fault of high school education and even college education (society, culture, government intervention, destruction of free markets, lack of Blue Bell...). Far too few pursue knowledge for the joy of knowledge. We replace knowledge with self gratification, find stability in found-less ideology, and then skip off to the bar with our friends to get plastered. An associates degree has become the new high school diploma, bachelors the new associates, and masters the new bachelors. I am so very tempted to go ahead and complete my masters. It's just so wonderfully different than any other level of education because you actually get to pursue what you're interested in. xD It's a healthy fantasy! We all have them, or so I hope. Unless if it's some wish to be a Kardashian. I mean, that deserves a Darwin award and by a Darwin award being hit by a truck. Someday I would love to be a senior fellow at the Mises Institute and swirl around in a comfy office chair while writing papers. I have as well. Good night! |
@admonished -
Some of them had their parents pay for their tuition fees. For the rest, we have quite relaxed policies in regards to tertiary funding here in New Zealand. This creates a situation where there is little pressure for someone who has a student loan. I wouldn't say none, but it is approaching zero when compared to the situation in U.S.A. I wonder if it is a problem with how we learn to approach education. Perhaps we are not being taught to see learning, and enlightenment, as a process which should be rewarding in, and of, itself. Rather it is presented more as a chore, or burden, which we simply have to endure in order to, hopefully, get the rewards at the end. On the topic of my fantasy, I have submitted my application for next year now. Once this is confirmed I will be able to approach my manager about the prospect of altering my shift. She responded really positively about it today at work when I asked her. I certainly wish you luck with that goal! Edit: Once more I depart for sleep. I do spend most of my time awake...I promise. xD |
Crimson - There's so many problems with the United State's loan situation. Unintended consequences aren't pretty. Unfortunately nobody's learning anything at college anyways, so what's the point of fixing it? xD
Spot on I must say x3. Everyone's seemed to lost the point of education somewhere along the way. To make matters that much worse we're a generation possessed by entitlement and the concept of a "free lunch". Fallacies the both of them. The concept of education has become this: that schools are supposed to be the expression of society's values and interests (ha, just realized this is a direct quote from Milton Friedman). Education has become a center of indoctrination into society's beliefs. Schools teach us what to believe, but not how. It's like there's this idea that a simple individual can't choose what's right f or themselves. After all, that individual could make the wrong choice. So we leave to to the so called "intellectuals" of society to tell us what to think and all along we leave out the most important part of knowledge: how. We've lost the point of education; the teaching of how to think, how to make sound choices, how to analyze and critique information, and the methodology of accumulating and applying that knowledge. Instead we're taught to follow whatever is currently accepted by society and its standards even if it's wrong, completely contradictory, or unsupported. I've learned more outside of the classroom than I have in it. I learn more talking to my professors outside of the classroom than inside of it, due to the limitations they are constrained to. I am currently attending three different college campuses and overall I have a weekly commute of about... six-seven hours a week? In comparison I am currently in the classroom fourteen hours a week. I've learned more about economics, politics, criminal justice, law, and so on listening to audio on my MP3 player in the car than in school all week. No professor or institution has ever promoted learning outside of the classroom, my professor was amazed when I asked him to suggest books on criminal justice to read alongside our provided material. It's ridiculous. I love how Friedman put it: Yay! I hope you snatch your goal right up ^^. |
Good morning to all, and to all good morning. ;o
@admonished - I don't think I am nearly as pessimistic as you are about the question of how much undergraduate students are learning in U.S.A. Consequently I am in favour of reforming tertiary policy. How is your day going? |
Doing homework drinking coffee ^^"
I don't drink a lot of coffee, so this will keep me wired for a bit. Gotta make sure to not drink anymore in a few hours or I won't sleep tonight ^^" |
Haha true that. Thankfully, or not, I am more used to drinking coffee so have more leeway in regards to how late I can drink it. Although I still try to be cautious with how late I drink it. I don't like to tempt fate. Are you finding your homework interesting?
|
Coffee sounds good atm, but I have a Dr. Pepper instead. ^.^
I'm trying to think of some dinner. ---------- Post added 10-08-2012 at 02:58 PM ---------- I can't drink caffeine within the last two or three hours before I go to sleep. Other than that I'm generally okay. |
With that my position has in some ways suddenly become a lot more cautious. I avoid having coffee around six hours before I go to sleep. I don't really worry about when I am drinking soda however. A Dr. Pepper right now sounds amazing. We have recently had the good turn of fortune here that they now sell Dr. Pepper in supermarkets. There was a time not long ago when one had to go to an import food market to get a can. xD
|
Well good for you and the people where you live, Crim. Dr. Pepper is the nectar of the gods, after all. Can't have it being too hard to get. [lol]
Your situation with Dr. Pepper sounds like how it's only been recently that we could get true Mexican and Asian products anywhere but the import stores here. |
