  • going to school tomorrow sad.gif
  • The only class I miss at school was Music. I had the worlds greatest music class and our teacher was all kinds of fantastic. We'd spend most of the lesson talking about how Molly Meldrum was having an illict gay affair with the Purple Wiggle but someone when we'd left the class we still had a sound understanding of what we were meant to have discussed that day which was probably an analysis of Tits and Ass from A Chorus Line.

    I miss when we'd have exams, and our teacher would interrupt us half way through the test to have a sulk about the fact nobody had commented on her new shoes. Then we'd waste ten minutes of our exam talking about her shoes, and someone we all still managed to pass with flying colours. We were the highest achieving class in the state of Queensland. Sigh.

    That makes me sad FOR you... i had 2 years of photography in high school and when i graduated that was THE only class i missed.... still miss it sad.gif
    i'm sad that i cant seem to find ANY time to come check up on all of you except for when i'm at work... which isn't that often anymore sad.gif

    i only got 3 terms of photography and being a one unit subject I would be lucky to have 3 periods of it over two weeks.
    photography is/was my favourite class too!

    i'm sad you can't check up on us too! we have been lacking in Katie sad.gif
  • I know everyone's schooling is different outside of the States, but how long did the class last? Like, how many weeks, etc? Luckily for me, my junior year (11th grade, I was 16-17) I had it for a semester (5.5 months) and then my senior year (12th grade, 17yrs) I had it the entire school year, 9 months. And it was independent study, meaning I came and went as I pleased and just made 8x10s in the darkroom whenever. It was like heaven. I miss it soooooooo much. sad.gif


    Sad...

    -i'm in my "final" year at college
    -my two best friends go to another college and i miss them soooo much
    -cleaning.
  • umm I'm not sure exactly what you mean... the preliminary course (year 11) for Photography is 3 terms or a semester and a half.
    I hope that helps, I can keep going if you want to know more tongue.gif

    our classes weren't independant study but we were pretty much left up to out own devices. it was so good! well, except when our darkroom was knocked down *sigh* we only had about a month with it sad.gif
  • - Realising that you no longer have unconditional love for a band that has had a huge impact for your life because they turned into arseholes and turned on their fans in an attempt to gives themselves more "credibility"


    sad.gif
  • uh oh... who?? if i may...
  • Hanson. It's a long and complicated story but they've turned into one major disappointment.
  • blah. i hate it when that happens. when a band you loved so much just lets you down...




    i was hoping it wasn't gonna be ok go... lol
  • I'll be honest, Hanson have been a part of my life since I was ten years old, I wouldn't be who I am today if it weren't for the influence they had on me. I don't think any band could compare to them because of that (No matter how much I love OK Go, Jacks Mannequin etc. I'll never have that sort of connection and memory of them for that reason) so fortunately for all those other bands they could never disappoint me on the level that Hanson have disappointed me.

    Does that make any sense?


    Meanwhile, new sadness is meeting adorable celebrities and realising that one of them is a total toss pot.
  • God
    i feel sorry for you sad.gif . It sucks when that happens. I mean, you're there for them right? and they treat you like crap? psshhh thats kind of one of the reasons i hope i never meet conor oberst. i adore him but i hear hes a real dick to his fans. Dont worry god, you'll get over what ever happened and just remember the good hanson times. smile.gif

    ok... i have one to add
    i got sacked from my job at cirque sad.gif
    I MADE THE POPCORN MACHINE EXPLODE!!


    .... actually no....
    i just got laid off because the show kept on being at only 70% ticket sales sad.gif
    i understand why... but it sucks still sad.gif , it feels werid being unimployed
  • OH NO!!! Fel, I'm sorry! And you loved that job as well... sad.gif
    *hugs*

    - Spending your entire time at school, which you've always loved, wishing you could be ANYWHERE else.

    Makes total sense, KT... (hope you don't mind me calling you that). I'm sorry that that's how they've made you feel sad.gif I wish I had some ground breaking, earth shattering advice to give you, but I don't because I don't think I've ever personally felt the exact same about a band... a little with one artist, but not as much as you sad.gif

    FEL!! I'm sorry!!! sad.gif That really sucks!! I know you've been raving about this job w/ Cirque, and forgive me for asking but... which show were you working? When I was in Vegas I saw ads for 'O', 'Zumanity' and... 'Love'... I'm just curious. But I'm sorry it didn't work out sad.gif



    Sad...

    I'm spending thousands of tuition dollars for a class that I HATE and is completely unnecessary. Why is it that way? Because I'm REQUIRED to take it, and as i sit here in this class...i'm preoccupied with the boards. go figure. fuck the uni...

    Ugh I know the feeling. I'm currently taking an Economic Stats course that's required even though I've taken Stats 2 which is technically higher than the class I'm taking now. Why do I have to take it? Because it's required. I'm going in today to talk to an adviser. Maybe I should bake him cookies or something to try and butter him up.
  • thanks guys
    it was the "Kooza" one, it rocked, but i guess peeps in toronto didnt really like it...

    and ICK to useless electives as well... Im taking 4 envirosci courses this year just b/c i have no idea what to take for electives! with the number of envirosci courses ive taken it would of been more reasonable to take a minor in envirosci, but stupid red tape permits me from even doing that (if you have a specialist, you cant have a minor in my school). so basically... these course count for nothing and might even bring my gpa down.

    ok ... i think im done for today tongue.gif

    ahhh sounds like michigan state!! no minors here either! only "specializations" or "cognates" so. SO stupid. the electives i have have only brought my gpa down... and the class i am in that i was bitching about, just about EVERYONE has to take it... it's so dumb. dlkfjadkls;jfkl;sj





    and kooza... i'm gonna have to do research on all of them...
  • Today I stood and cried in the middle of Southern Cross station at peak hour.

    I'm not used to Melbourne yet and almost every time I've had to catch the train home I've caught it from Flinders Street station and so all I had to know was to take a train from Platform 4, but unfortunately for the next three weeks I'm working across the road from Southern Cross. Anyway, this station blows and I'm not a thousand per cent sure which train goes in my area and the ones that I do know occassionally like to SKIP MY FUCKING STATION. None of my damn friends answered their phones so I could ask them which train to take and the bloody signs on the major platform don't tell you the exact stops the trains are taking, so you can't figure it out 'til you get to that trains specific platform, and then if you get there and find it's not giong to your station this time, you've got to go back to the major one and pick another train and usually if I'm lucky and have found a train going to my station by the time I get to the fucking plaform I've missed it.

    It's fucking stupid and whoever designed that station should be shot in the kneecaps, I swear to God. It stressed me out and as a result of not being able to get home straight away, I had to walk home in the fucking rain.

    So this is me having a sad sad.gif
  • aww!
    i am terrible at catching public transport in the first place so i know trying to get a train in unfamiliar territory is scary. you were very brave biggrin.gif

  • good lord it seems like everyone is having a shit day.
    So last night my parents got into a huge fight because my dad is being a jackass. It was filled with yelling/screaming (my dad either doesn't talk much or yells at whomever he is talking too because he gets incensed by minor issues) and crying/attempts at screaming back (by my mom). It culminated to both of them threatening to leave; dad says he'd be relaxed and happy if "you people" (my mom, sister, and me) left, and mom almost left but I didn't let her. At one point when they came upstairs and my mom was trying to get my dad to sit down so she could talk (he never lets anyone try to explain because he cuts them off saying its bullshit and starts yelling instead) and she was like pushing him to sit down and then i went in because I was afraid he would hit her (my dad has never hit any of us, but I wouldn't put it past him) and I yelled at my dad to sit down and listen to her and he said no I don't want to listen to any of that crap, etc. and then it got kinda quiet and my mom went off crying hysterically and I told my dad that for all the admiration I've had for him he's letting me down and I walked away.
    Sigh he knows my mom won't leave because she isn't working anymore so he can get away with whatever he wants. I swear its as if he were still back in his ghetto village in the motherland.
