15:18 -- Great. lessons from 10 to 13:15, skip lesson, one lesson from 14:15 to 15. Last bus went at 14:45 and the teacher doesn't let people go because their bus leaves too early. Very nice! I'm sitting here waiting for my mom. one more hour...
I just got the permission for driving school and will be starting it on Monday.
The Swedish listening comprehension exam sucked. The tape was too loud and the teacher wouldn't tune it down. So, when I actually would've understood the stuff, I couldn't make up what they were saying because my ears hurt. Just perfect. Sigh...
Taksvärkki sucks too. So does TOK cruise. I'm not going there because I would be the only one who actually would want to listen to the lectures and not drink alcohol the whole day through. Why don't the teachers ask what's wrong with the TOK cruise since we're not going there?
I'm supposed to be doing my WLA and my other Finnish assignment. Borign! Zzzzz...
Yay, 50 more minutes!
15:33 -- I can't emphasize this enough and there's no point whatsoever in saying it etc. etc. but I'm just going to say it anyway. Elftown, when viewed with Netscape 4, is hell. No frames. No background. All buttons are one after another with a < br > separating them. Hooooolyyy cr-ap.
I saw Pirates of the Caribbean last weekend. It was an okay movie, and I liked the way Jack Sparrow moved. Heh heh.
Schoolwork is killing me. Oh yes. I'm at Pirkanmaan Taitokeskus to do some labs with bacteria and their computers are just a LITTLE bit outdated. I managed to grow nice bacteria though. The lake in my village, Työläjärvi, has relatively much E. colis but otherwise it seems to be free of bacteria. Those bacteria sure smell bad though.
I'm going to do the Finnish matriculation exam this fall (just the Swedish exam). Next Monday (8. 9.) I have listening comprehension or whatever you'd call it. On 19. 9. I have the 6-hour written exam. Whopee.
Oh and I read "Crime and Punishment" last Sunday! Ha! Thought I couldn't do it! *thwarts* It was okay, a good book, well-written and everything but the subject just doesn't really interest me. Oh well. Now I could rant about the snob(s) in our class but I think I'll save it until next time.
19.10 -- Let's see my homework list.
Math: Continuous homework, usually takes 1-4 hours a night. Portfolio coming up.
Physics: Continuous homework, continuous labs.
Biology: Continuous labs and teacher mood swings.
Chemistry: Continuous labs and teacher mood swings.
Economics: Portfolios coming, occasional homework, random assignments.
Finnish: WLA, random time-taking assignments and six books to read.
English: Two WLAs, random assigments and something to be read.
Other: EE (an extended (research) essay), TOK presentation, TOK essay and continuous CAS collecting.
13.36 -- School... holy crap X_x I'm already bored, stressed and annoyed. The teachers are doing it on purpose. Damn. And the mIRC on these computers isn't working. Sigh... Driving lessons... not yet. Sighsighsigh. *SIIIIIIGH*
20.46 -- I woke up at 4 in the morning today after sleeping about 3,5 hours... And couldn't sleep after that because my ear was hurting so much. At about 8.30 my dad took me to the health center to see a doctor. Whopee, I have an ear infection, so I got antibiotics. Well, my ear isn't hurting anymore, but my nose is putting up quite a fight. It wants to abandon the rest of my body.
22.34 -- A couple of days ago in an IRC channel, I got sneezed on by a person called Becca. In the evening of that day, I was developing a flu and the next morning I was sick.
I have caught the infamous Beccaflu. *sneezes on all the readers in the hopes of infecting somebody*
18.49 -- I'm almost done with gathering mold and fungi. I even got the book started! Urgh...
Just saw Terminator 3. It was good, though I think the two first ones were better. Maybe I'm just getting too cynical as I get older. I saw the first one when I was about ten... Now THAT was a real experience ;-) Oh the good old days...
09.58 -- Last day at work. Then I can gather mold and fungi by sitting in front of my comp for three weeks until I have to go to school. But I should really do those essays and assignments and read those books... -_-
13.27 -- Great, now I'm over the point where 26 C of heat doesn't make me sweat if I sit or walk around in long pants and a T-shirt. Why the hell did I tell that?
The computer in our livingroom now has Red Hat 9, but the X isn't working, and it doesn't recognize the configure command I use. Nice. I think I'll get a new hard drive disk. I got my pay for July... about 620 €! Yee! I wonder what my June pay is... the person responsible for those apparently didn't have time to pay it yet...
16.03 -- Extranet malfunction! I lost my moderator privileges! Fix that bug, Thomas! Mirar! Eliza! Anyone! *dies without the Extranet*
19.32 -- Ahh... fixed.
Holy crap, I got my pay too... 680 or something €... =D
13.37 -- Yesterday I burned a few .iso files on three CDs. They were supposed to be Red Hat 9 installation CDs. I had last used the burning program two years ago, and the version was entirely different from the one that I had used. So, the stupid program didn't tell me what it was doing, and burned the .iso files on the CD as normal data files! Crap...
Well, it went better today. Now I have Red Hat 9 =D
I'm also out of work to do... now if I didn't have any school work to do, I'd be happy. Gaah... I messed around the X-Men Evolution pages as well, and it looks good now.
14.17 -- Damn that clock is hard to see. I'm 4 meters from it and it has a diameter of 30 cm. I need glasses.
I have MORE pressure curves to be drawn! X_x
00.16 -- X_x Okay... RPers are back in order (I hope), I've taken a shower and killed that freaking spider in my room, but I haven't eaten anything, it's quarter over midnight and I'll have an extra long day at work today, and nothing but a lousy Photoshop 4 and a mouse to use to colour my drawing... And it's still infernally hot! The outside temperature should never be over 20 C, and inside temp over 25 C! Gaa!
15.00 -- Mua VÄSYTTÄÄÄÄÄ...
22.12 -- ARGH! It's summer! It's supposed to be raining and storming! Not shining! It's 20 C outside even though the time's 22, and inside the house it's 26 C! Gaah! I'm melting!
11.10 -- Am I done with writing LaTEX or am I done with drawing pressure curves? Nothing beats moderating tours and surfing Elftown... Yeah right... Öööh...
Two weeks done! Four more to go... Which means that there's only 7 weeks left of the summer holiday! AARGH!
11.13 -- Prkle...
12.49 -- MUHAHAHA I just wrote another section with LaTEX (Linux language, anyone seen me writing \begin{somethi
\begin{rant}
It's NOT about X-Men Evolution, no, but another RPG group at Yahoo. To the outsider, quite elegant and good-looking RPG. However, when you get into it, you find yourself deep in pure crap.
I told my character's name. They requested me to use some other name. And why? Because they had had a complaining player with that name! -- Proves how they get stuck in pointless detail.
I asked about how telepathy works. Two times. No answer. Third time I got an answer "I don't know, we don't concentrate on detail." -- Proves they are illogical and picky about things they can't handle and bother to take care of.
A person who offered to help me for some weird reason did NOT like it when I kept asking questions! Why did she offer to help me? -- Proves me what kind of people are in the RPG (I know, it's just one person, but she offered to represent the RPG, so...)
I saw a PG-17 (or something like that) on one of the info files, asked a fellow mod what it meant. He said it was old and that I could join even if I was 17, as I am. Now, I sent email to the RPG admins. I have a "86" on my email to tell my age. Two people replied me, three times. When I spoke to the person who wanted to help me, she said they're a 18+ RPG, and that I couldn't join even if I had my parents' permission! Why in hell didn't the other two people tell that to me? My age was in my EMAIL ADDRESS!
They didn't want my character, telling me to start from beginning. They had never heard anything more about my character than the name and the powers I wanted!
Guess who certainly is NOT joining that RPG?
\end{rant}
14.19 -- Sigh... this is going to be one depressing summer... I wish I had some freetime...
19.46 -- I've watched all the Neon Genesis Evangelion episodes. Sigh... It reminded me of how much I want Finnish subtitles... and that life is strangely hectic...
Yeah, and I want to know why I'm so depressed. I'm not used to this.
10.03 -- We got the Neon Genesis Evangelion DVDs from the customs today! It took maybe a week for them to get from USA to Helsinki, and three months to get from Helsinki to Tampere. I HATE CUSTOMS! They prolong our order time by MONTHS, AND steal our money! They charged 44 damn euros for it!
We watched the seven first episodes if I remember right. The characters aren't good, maybe except for Rei, but I almost knew it had to happen... Well, at least the rest is good, I think.
13.22 -- Nice... I'm translating an English meteorological text written by Austrians into Finnish. Where are the commas?! These are too ambiguous, especially because I don't have a clue what the text is saying... I'm just translating it! I'm innocent!
*gives up*
Uhh... Next text? Or back to writing code?
14.30 -- I have my opinion. Photoshop SUCKS. It might be just me, but seriously, I think it's missing some important tools... Paint Shop Pro is way better (for drawing among other things), and the newest version has vector graphics!
08.38 -- I'm at the Finnish meteorological institute... Supposed to be working... right...
It's a one huge screen I have O_O Gotta get one of these at home.
13.50 -- Lol... It's no problem to write equations about meteorological physics with LaTEX, I can use the darn program and everything, but I don't understand the formulas so I don't know what's wrong with them and don't know what they exactly want there! Crap >_<
22.31 -- I just moderated one HELLISH Zone ticket... There was absolutely nothing acceptable in it... 12 pictures of modern people and X-Men RPG characters, nothing else. Again, HOW CAN PEOPLE BE SO STUPID?!
23.12 -- Back from Joensuu.
How to spend your time while sitting six hours in a car?
Spot a roadwork and count all the machines. Between Tampere and Jyväskylä I counted about 182 whole machines.
16.59 -- Yesterday I saw a picture with the stupidest reason to put it in Zone 47. I just can't believe how stupid people are. The description goes like this (or a part of it):
"I am putting it in the sci fi section because of what she's saying, I can't picture contimplating suicide as fantasy and she is a modern character and well, I just think it's too dark. and yeah.. I was sad when I made it."
OH PLEASE!!! That's the WORST reasoning EVER I have heard for a pic to be in Zone!
The only freaking thing in the desc that got it allowed in Zone was the part "is a modern character"! It being about suicide and dark have absolutely NOTHING to do with being modern! How can people be THIS STUPID?!? I think I know now why people don't like Zone, since they have this kind of idiotic, prejudiced attitude toward it!
And modern fantasy IS NOT the same as scifi!
