Ahh. Those are always fun. Lol.
Today I was in my philosophy class (which I dislike) and my professor mentioned that someone had come up to him and told him that there was a bad review about him on ratemyprofessors.com. Yeah. It was my review, lol. I had basically mentioned that he was a very lazy teacher who never updated grades. It was then that he realized his computers were going wonky and not updating shit. So my bad review ended up getting a bunch of people's grades fixed. He harped on it all class though and I was sitting there sending off the "It so wasn't me." vibe. ---------- @Ser: That's good things are cooling down. I'm just entering into it right now, though, so it's like O.o, oh god. I see the Kraken...can't I just go back and forget about it? Lol. |
Yeah sounds like how my life is with school, other than that it's calm. ^^" Except I feel crappy, but that's the lack of sleep and drive for doing any work talking there. ^^"
I just want to go home. Plus I don't want to be here on the 16th at 6pm. They're powering down the entire campus so they can work on something in a building they've been remodeling since the end of the Spring 2009 semester (It's FINALLY done Dec of 2011). To do whatever they're doing, all the buildings on campus are going to run by generators with minimal power. -.- Which means I highly doubt I will be able to do anything on my computers. My netbook only gets about 4hr of battery if I'm only using word processing. Which I know for a fact won't be happening since I do use messenger when I'm on either of my computers to talk to my boyfriend. *shrugs* Oh well. I'll figure something out till it gets dark out if I'm unable to plug something in and get a charge. :p To be honest I have no idea what will happen with that, I have never been on the campus when the power was going to be minimal (building running on generator type power like that) I've experienced a full on power outage because the power for some wacky reason f'd up. I think it will be fun. I may wander to a restaurant in Fredonia and get some cheap food. ^^ |
Ah. I kinda like power outages. It means I can take out my candles and not get bitched at by my mother. (she's afraid of fire for, literally, no valid reason other than it happens to be fire)
I love candles, and they calm me down like none other...to be honest, that sounds really good. I think I'll do that tonight after I'm done with work. Candles and a nice bath. *nods* |
Oh I would love to do that here when they power down the campus. there will be minimal lights in the building so it's not like we won't have any lights. I would love to have candles, but they don't let us burn them because of fire hazards.
I should look into getting those fake battery power candle shaped things. :P That would look cool the night we have minimal lights :D I'm going to walmart during Exam week (I'm free thursday and friday of that week) and will buy some food supplies and random things of need. ^^ |
Some of those fake candles are really awesome. They're made out of real wax and all that so you can't tell unless you're actually looking down into them for the flame.
I have a few of them, but I'm a real candle kinda chica. I'm a bit of an old soul, and anything old school makes me happy. |
Oh I love burning real candles. I don't know if my dad's girlfriend would be thrilled if I burned a candle in my room at the house. But, that's ok. Mike and I will burn candles when we get our own place. I'll see if Walmart has those fake ones so I have some nice lighting type thing for the heck of it. I never thought of getting those while I was here for some nice atmosphere. But then when we have had a power outage since I've been here, they've only lasted probably 45 min at the most. Nothing major. ^^"
|
Yeah. You can get the fake candles at Wal Mart. That I'm sure of.
I know real ones are dangerous, but all you have to do is watch them and don't leave them unattended around animals and children. There's not really that much of a reason for people to freak out about them that much unless they're horrendously irresponsible. |
Yeah, my group of friends and I could never really understand it. We're all responsible, we would use them for our rituals. But, we can't on campus. We did sneak use of a candle when we did a Full Moon Esbat back in March in the class room we have our meetings in. ^^"
I can't wait till next Thursday when I make my trip to WalMart.^^ It's going to be in the morning since at 3pm EDT I'm going to watch the live stream from YLE TV 2 of the 2nd Semi Final of this year's Eurovision Song Contest (which is in Düsseldorf Germany this year) |
I know the feeling. I wouldn't have any candles in my dorm room, but I'd have insence. They don't allow that either, sadlly.
|
Yeah that too. ^^" I grew up with incense being burned almost all the time in my house. My dad is obsessed. Sadly he doesn't burn it at the house since it can bother his gf.
I try to get around that by having some plug in thing, but I didn't feel like having to buy a replacement. So for any scent, I have a gel cone. ^^" but it doesn't cut it at all. :/ I can't wait to leave the dorms and finish school and get a place of my own to do that. ^^ |
Ah. Incense. Some of that shit is so strong. I have a friend who comes from a household that burns that stuff all the time and you can smell her coming from a mile away. I've only ever burned a couple of sticks of it in my life, and those recently. It's strong so it makes me sneeze if I use a lot of it, but I still like it.
Colorado is the biggest friggin' hippy place/alternate religion state in the entire United States, I'd bet. You can't go two feet in any strip mall without finding a Nepali place that smells like an incense truck blew up. Anyway, we're a weird generation, we are. It's going to be interesting when we get our chance at running the world. Lol. ---------- Also, @Ser: Are you Pagan? Or Wicca? What you said lead me to believe so. I have a Wiccan friend, myself. |
I'm a mixture of both. I list myself as being Wiccan though, but I like to consider myself a mixture of the two. I'm part of my school's Pagan Student Union. I found out that we're one of the few if not the only SUNY school that has one. There's another college in my state that has one, but it's not a State University school.
Oh I can't wait till our generation gets to take over. ^^ Things will be interesting that's for sure |
I wouldn't be surprised if we had one near where I lived, but I've never looked into it being that I'm more agnostic than anything else. We have a very interesting group of cities south of where I live, so if there wasn't one down there I'd eat my hat, lol.
|
Yeah, same here. I grew up smelling it in the house because my mom always burned it, but it never bothered anyone. Though, with the idiots in my dorm, I don't blame housing for being paranoid about having anything with an open flame in the dorms.
|
Yeah...college kids. Can't defend us. Lol. With how drunk and high a lot of them get...things would go up in flames pretty quickly.
|
Yeah, I know some people who are prone to that. ^^"
Oh and here's proof of how you can't trust a portion of college students. With stuff like that, things that can catch fire, etc. 41 usual FredFest suspects arrested - ObserverToday.com | News, Sports, Jobs, Community Information - Dunkirk | The Observer I made a comment too. ^^ (if you go to the comments, mine is twaterhouse) Oh and there's more fun with that weekend People having to go to hospital via ambulances coming to the dorms, people getting upset with stuff and being so drunk they get upset quicker and throw things putting holes in walls in common room, etc. |
Ugh, you got that right.
I literally have no clue what my religion is. But, the area I'm from, you'd have a pretty damn hard time finding anyone who was pagan or wicca. I swear, the only religion in that area that's accepted without getting yelled at for being full of sinners is Christianity. One of my uncles, when I told him one of my best friends was wicca, outright said that they worshipped Satan, which I know they don't! |
Wow, ser. It looks like they arrested half the campus. :XD
Eh. My religion wavers a lot. Where I live it's almost shameful to be a Christian, Catholic, or anything western. |
I was raised a Methodist. I follow some of the stuff I learned from that, and of course what I know from my own beliefs.
I'm looking forward to seeing the police blotter in the school newspaper. A few of the people arrested were people who were guests or not students. :p but it's still funny ^_^ Oh the stupid things people will do during Fred Fest. :D |
Ely: I know what you mean. I get weird looks whenever someone finds out that I'm Christian... which is odd because I wear Christian t shirts a lot. ...people don't see things.
As for college students doing dumb stuff... I kinda wish I lived in a dorm just to observe the behavior. lol. |
I don't mind it, living in the dorms. I like watching people do stupid things. It just gets old after awhile... real quick. -.- Especially when you're trying to do your homework and you have people being loud and obnoxious. That and when you're trying to sleep and you have your dorm window open and it's really warm outside, you get to hear the people screaming outside and it keeps you up. As does what a friend of mine who lives in my suite with me, we had guys after hockey games, playing hockey out in their common room shooting the "puck" (golf ball) and the ball would hit the wall which is the outside wall to my friend's room. This would be done during the week, after quiet hours, and she has an 8am class. This would be happening close to midnight.
|
Haha. Pot day here was pretty bad, too. I'm sure half of our Uni got arrested for possession, or at least cited.
Honestly, I wasn't raised to be anything. My parents are both Lutherans, but we have never been a church going family. If I have any faith, it comes from me, not having it pounded into me by churches. @saro: Lol. Mmhmm. It's probably because people are so uninformed that they don't understand what your shirts mean. I think a lot of people lack religions these days simply because they are raised knowing nothing about religion. I actually had to tell somebody the story of Adam and Eve the other day because they didn't know what it was. >.> On the note of Colorado things, and since you'll appreciate it :lol:, I got stuck behind a Californian driver today who actually knew how to drive. I wanted to pull up next to them at the street light, roll down my window, and ask them if they were sick. Hehehe. |
Yeah, same here. I was raised by my family who were basically Protestant (mainly Methodist) but the only people who went to church every week were my mom's parents. My grandmother still goes to church (my grandfather passed away in Aug 1997) regularly.
My parents never forced us kids to go to church. My mom would go sometimes to meet up with her mother for Christmas Eve services. I would go sometimes to it since my mom works bad hours. I'm considering this summer, since I live basically near the church my family belongs to, going with my grandmother while I'm home. Granted I don't fully associate myself with the Methodist church, I still may go with her to keep her company while I'm home. ^^" |
Ah, yeah. When I was a little girl I would stay at my grandmother's (still the woman I love most in the world) and I'd get up at the crack of dawn to watch this uber famous priest on cable. I miss those days. Way more than I want to admit, lol.
|
I know what you mean. I miss going to church with grandma and grandpa when I stayed over. We'd leave earlier to get there about 30 min to an hour before because my grandmother is in the choir. I'd sit with grandpa and he always had a bunch of things of hard candy in his suit jacket pocket. ^_^ He'd give me a piece. When I was really little, I would go up front and join the rest of the little kids to the front when the minster would do his thing with the kids, then go up with them if we were going up to the Sunday school room. ^^
