DoTW, good riddance to them. My favorite idiot architect story is an old one - Pope John XXIII was being shown plans for a new office building for the Vatican and he made only one comment on the plans, "We are not angels." After a while the architect figured out he had not included any restrooms . . .

Back is better, despite the disappointing fact that Norflex is not available over the counter here; still have no clue what I did to myself.

It is cloudy and looks like it might rain but I bet it doesn't.

 

My final exam, the so called magisterial exam, is next week, on Monday, 1 pm. Hurrah for cramming.

 

Good luck with the cramming chev!

My 2nd year assessment is tomorrow. I should do fine. I'd like to think that after 2 years of working on this project I have a pretty good idea of what it's about and where I'm taking it.

 

It's almost time for me to go home and - woo-hoo! - it's raining. Of course I left my umbrella in the car but I'm glad it's raining and I can dry off when I get home.

Chev, best of luck in the final, and Ziad, best of luck on the assessment. My money's on the both of you to do well.

EDIT: Now it's stopped raining. Oh, well.

I'm spending too much time 'clicking the mouse' in the dark places of the earth... if you know what I'm talking about.

And I think you know what I'm talking about.

I'm talking about solitaire.

 

My favourite coffee cup is gone. It was a very beautiful piece of china.

 

I'm sorry for chev, lost of coffee cup is a tragedy.

Anyway, someone can point to me a good strategy game similar to Civ IV? I LOVE that game mind you, but this funny incident made me realised maybe I should look for something else.

I was playing the "Charlemagne" scenario (i.e early mediaeval europe) and I was on me way to conquer the Iberian peninsula when suddenly this message pops up; (note that it isn't the same text word per word )

" Congratulation His Holiness, The Pope has crowned you Holy Roman Emperor "

Yeah thanks, but can I, you know finnish conquering Iberia? I'm kinda in the middle of a fight.

 

Argh, school has started back up... and I am unreasonably depressed about it. I am really loathe to step into the building and take classes. It is really upsetting.

 

@Chev - Might I suggest a suitable replacement
Of if you prefer, here's a more portalbe solution.

Yay for caffine delivery systems!

 

Piffle glorp Wargle.

There's my random babbling for today...

 

Hell yeah!!! And even better - I had regular classes today (still in architecture), and the teacher passed some paperwork to do, and my friend turned to me and simulated spitting on the paper. I simulated litting the paper on fire and pissing on it to stop it from completly burning. Teacher saw me, and guess what? I was expelled for a harmless joke!

Now... THAT'S going too far. I got my new schedule and I'm starting in the art department Thursday. I haven't yet told my friends in the department. Planning a surprise, you see.

 

It's Tuesday where I am.

 

Are there Tuesdays in the Gray Wastes of Hades? Or the Infinite Layers of the Abyss for that matter?

 

i still remember way back to the sylmar earthquake.there was a new earthquake-proof hospital going to open very soon.i'm glad it wasn't open yet,because the earthquake leveled the earthquake-proof hospital.i don't know if it was the designers or the builders,but all this talk about architects made me think of it.it really wasn't too bad in sun valley ( right next to burbank ) ,but it did get me out of school for a few days

 

DotW

No, you were expelled for disrupting a class.

Try to work as a teacher or a trainer sometime before you judge why they act the way they do. Keeping control of a class so that teaching time is not wasted is tough enough without bozos acting like children.

 

I agree with Colthrun, I mean if I were in the place of the teacher I'd do the same.

 

Well...were I come from, being expelled from school means that you can *never* return to that particular school. Not sure if that's the same thing that happened to you DotW, but if that's the case, then I think the teacher/administrators over reacted.

I can see getting kicked out of class for the day, being marked absent, and not getting any credit for any assignments that day...but expulsion is a bit harsh.

Anyhoo... I'm off for a good 6 hour nap, and then we're headed to sunny California for a week!!!
Try not to destroy anything too important while I'm gone.

 

Main thing is, it did *not* disturbed anyone. Expelling me was the only thing that disrupted the class - my joke was unnoticed.

Bozos acting like children... That doesen't offend me. Not at all.

Well, I'm getting my head chewed by the bureaucrats in less than two hours from now. They'll likely expel me until I start in the art department (read: two days). It's not the first time I get into the trouble wih the said bureaucrats.

Considering my questionable past in this college, they *could* expel me once and for all... but I don't care, I'll just go to another college.
