508 compliance has never looked this goodThis is my brain..... in part, at least.

Note to world: I am far past the 24-hours-with-no-sleep mark.... I am in a bad mood, and I will use whatever laguage I feel is neccessary to convey my emotions. Do not mess with me, or I will hurt you. A lot.

And now that my group project is over, and I have the right to say whatever the hell I feel like, I want to say a few things:

  • If you don't bother to show up for the last group meeting of the semester (like, the one where we write the project)... and you don't e-mail or call... don't bring your whiney-ass self up to the lab an hour before the presentation and try to get a good group rating.

  • Don't blame your non-communicativeness on having another program due today... I had two tests, but I put my ass on the line for your damn grade... and ended up being too sick to take either.

  • Don't tell me that my other group member (the one who stayed up in the lab with me from 2pm yesterday until 9am this morning) is a jerk, or imply that he has something against you. He has the same thing against you I do: you didn't show up, and we ended up doing all the fucking work.

  • Do not, do not, do not look at me pitifully during group evaluations and try to get me to feel sorry for you. I have already been to talk to Momma Donna, and she has told me to grade you on the work I feel you put into the project... which means you are fizucked. Sorry.

  • People who pass out in the shower in the morning shouldn't have to go back to the lab and listen to presentations. And deal with group dynamics. Or anything like that. They should be given a day to sleep.

  • Teachers who require you to go to the doctor and get a note to be excused from a test after you call them and tell them you passed out in the shower are assholes, and should be shot on sight. If you are passing out in the shower, how the bloody hell are you supposed to walk/drive to the Health Center? I have only ever missed three tests in my life, and two of them were today... I must be pretty damn sick.



Other interesting things learned by this experiance:

  • Caffine and sudafed make a really wicked combination... but will keep you wired for however long you need.

  • Helios should have unlimited swap space... at least during final presentations.

  • The Sun labs (Butler 213) stink... no really, we are talking about some serious funk, here....

  • Some one seriously needs to clean the women's bathroom in Butler. I know it doesn't get used very often, but goddammit... the trash hasn't been emptied in two weeks.

  • It is amazing what is funny at 6am coming off of an all-nighter

  • All-nighters are much more fun when you're not pulling them by yourself



On a more pleasent note, I am nominating Jeremy for sainthood... he put up with a hell of a lot of shit in the last week. I really didn't think we were going to make it... but we did. At the last minute, but still... we made it. And that has to say something. And after a night in the lab, I really feel like we're friends... we'll see how next semester's classes go... I might have found a study person (if, of course, we can work around his frat-boy social activities *grin*).

And it's all over. Which is the only thing that really matters in the end. And I have a doctor's appointment in an hour. And after that, I can crash... for a few hours... then I have to study for my micro test (tomorrow @ 9:30am). And then I can sleep some more. And Thanksgiving is coming... Chad's family will love me because I will sleep all weekend, and not talk or socialize or anything. *sigh*

Yeah. I'm going to veg for a few minutes. Before I have to walk to the Health Center.
