Okay, so, I just finished a ton of work, and was thinking...this week has been insane. I assume other people have had some interesting stuff going on around here as well. Let's hear about it...accomplishments? Great things? Bad things? Anything besides just getting up and going to work/school?

In the last week I:
Got closer than ever with my best friend
have been happier than ever
Nearly lost said best friend entirely only two days later
have been more hurt than ever
Saved a friendship
Got called a kike by a skinhead

In the last 36 hours I:
have slept two hours (at the beginning of the period)

In the last 24 hours I:
Watched the sun rise over the Boston skyline in one of the most beautiful sunrises I have ever seen
took adderall for the first time
wrote 26.25 pages worth of responses to assorted literature and text
threw up five times
made plans with my roommates to purchase $160 worth of top shelf liquors (Tanqueray Ten, Chopin, Crown Royal, Jagermeister) for a nice night in with the boys

I'm pretty proud of myself. Especially for the massive ammount of papers I've gotten done. I literally just finished a 13 page criticism of a text book, and (thanks in huge part to the adderall) got it done in four hours. I didn't even put off the work...I sadly had no choice due to how the classes are laid out this semester.

So what about you? How's your week been?

Got called a kike by a skinhead

There's a merit badge if ever I saw one.

So what about you? How's your week been?

Last week? It was so, so. I traded away most of my stints in the ER so that I would have them the week before, so last week was pretty slow work-wise. I just did a tonne of paper work and finished all I needed to do before leaving the cardiology ward for the semester - my last clinical rotation for the year. This week and next I have lectures about "societal medicine" (read: fat people need to exercise more and eat less and stuff like that) but I'm skipping most of them because they're boring and suck, and then after the New Year I have finals which I'm gearing up for.

In a social setting, I've been to a couple of seasonal happenings what with the advents and the Nobel Prizes and Lucia coming up, and that's involved the usual being friendly and nice and shit.

Condensed. Tada!

There's a merit badge if ever I saw one.It was a great time. He was calling a friend of mine a dyke and threatening to hit her, so I went over and had a friendly little chat. Not sure if he just assumed that I was Jewish or what, but if he did, it was a good guess. He (somewhat sadly) didn't lay a finger on me. For as passive as I usually am, I could have used getting out some rage.

It seems odd to have them after New Years...

Condensed. Tada!I'm quite wordy right now. Effect of the adderall I've been told. I'm still not sure I'm okay with having taken it, but there was no way I could get the work done otherwise...*sigh*

So, you're really a Jew? Like, really really? Aww, man, chopsies... but for serious, it's great to see you protecting lezbots. We should all have one of you.

It's up to each university when they schedule these things (and whether they have finals at all). Since we don't have a Christmas vacation, my uni chooses to have a week of "study on your own time" time over Christmas and New Year's, which means the finals end up being in January. Well, if one can call them "finals" - it is the final exam of the semester, but it's also the only exam we have and, yup, it's huge and takes two full days to take (one day is for the written exam and the other for the practical one) and brings a nice air of gloom and doom to the beginning of the year.

psht...niceness is SO last year.

You're too nice with niceness. It's more VH1's "I love the 90s."

Adderall? The ADHD amphetamine mixture? You lucky bitch.

So, you're really a Jew? Like, really really? Aww, man, chopsies... but for serious, it's great to see you protecting lezbots. We should all have one of you.haha...yes, chopsies indeed.
And no one gets away with harassing my friends. Ever.

Adderall? The ADHD amphetamine mixture? You lucky bitch.It worked well. And still is. I can't stop focusing on NS now

Out of curiosity...how much and when did you take it?

You might be going for a while yet. :p

haha...yes, chopsies indeed.

I've worked with it a few times. Sure, it's a bit constraining as some tricks are out the window (even if docking can be made possible with a bit of effort), but by far nothing one can't deal with.

And no one gets away with harassing my friends. Ever.

Integrity, too! You needs ta stop being so dreamy - it's almost on a level of unattainability now.

The diversion I can offer won't exactly make you log off, so I am left conflicted on my next course of action for your benefit.

:p

Now, that's an expression to appreciate.

haha...I'm sure I have some kinda skeleton in my closet somewhere.

I'm afraid that it will now be just that added little spice to add to a sort of "bad boy that doesn't need to remind everyone he is a bad boy" image, adding only more to your character. Oh, what tangled webs of imperfect perfection we weave...

ditto that. Although, right now, my latest guilty pleasure is providing some entertainment

Guilt is for nuns and Jews... oh, yeah... but so is the entertainment business. :)

Okay, we just found that one character flaw that will counterbalance the rest of it. Beyonce? Irri-fucking-placable? Ugh, I'm reeling....

It's just the fag in you. I have moments of far, far worse indulgences....

Well, the last week has been pretty laid back and relaxing. I am getting more hours at work, but that is because my Uni is in exam mode right now. So over this two week period, I only have to go to school five times (for about two hours a time).

So what about you? How's your week been?

I hate finals week.

sounds like you've had quite a week :)



in the last 7 days i have:
seen my girlfriend for two days and an afternoon
had a christmas lunch on the business
taken photos in the New Forest and down at the beach
had sex once
bought more tea at an indian import shop
cooked scones, truffles, and eaten chocolate from my (first-ever!) advent calendar
added some clever new stuff to my websites
started redesigning (again) my personal photography website
watched 24, lots of spongebob squarepants, and other things
eaten pizza once
change the tyre on my car and then it fail its MOT

... probably some other stuff too

It's been quite a dull week for me:

Applied for several more jobs.
Saw Placebo at Wembley Arena (was never worth £25, that gig).
Played well over 100 games of chess.
Started playing Chess960.

In the last week I came home from school and got to see my pets (which i always miss soooo much) We put up the Christmas Tree and decorations, had some family over, pretty fun. Now I have to study study study for finals....


I need to get a good GPA so my transfer can go through to UW-Madison :)

Being on holidays *laughs maniacally* not much was done. Posted on NSG, played BF2, played Medieval 2, played KOTOR 2. Though I did go to the Elton John concert yesterday. But that was all, really.

I'm on holiday also, all 6 weeks of it :D, I should really be looking harder for a job...

Have been sitting around not doing much, played piano pretty much every day, played a bit of CS:S and posted alot on NSG (alot compared to previous months for me), and tried to do some of the work I have to do over the holiday.

Hamilay, what's Medieval 2 like? I've haven't bought it, due to not having time to play, but now I do, and really enjoyed the original, so am thinking the 2nd should be even better.

I started at my new school and am adjusting to life in the suburbs. I've also gotten sick. :(

It's awesome, except some things are just really weird. *launches into long rambling story*
Well, y'see, it was 1281. Milanese troops were fighting Mongols in the...

To get to the point, THREE units (as in three soldiers) of general's bodyguard (with the general dead!) killed FIFTY high-end heavy infantrymen before they died. Most cavalry is similarly unbalanced, it was weird when my spearmen (supposed to be good against cavalry! gah!) lost to fifty-odd light cavalry and horse archers.

Rant over. It's still a great game, though.

Interesting, though I remember similar things happening in the original. Well, I still might buy it, I could do with a new game to get stuck into to wile away this time on holiday.

This week was slow. Lets see, I finished the last of my chemistry labs yesterday and I studied for my English composition final that will start in a few hours and is only worth 5 percent of my grade, so it doesnt really matter anyway.

I forced out one of the toughest second drafts of a script I've ever had to do. Rewarded myself by signing up here.

it is a great game, though i find totally the opposite... cavalry are totally underpowered compared to what i expect (from RomeTW and the others). i mean i only tend to use dismounted knights as assault troops now whereas i would expect the cavalry to be able to do some damage and not just... well.... die :rolleyes:

I'm in the middle of "reading days" which is the perfect excuse for me to do absolutely nothing, except on the nights before my two finals, which I will spend cramming my ass off and stumble into the final with bloodshot eyes and all zombie-like.

Then I have a 10-page paper due by the 20th. Haven't started that yet. Hopefully will have started it before the 19th. Shooting for doing it this weekend, but I'm not overly optimistic.

There's also a 15 page paper that's due the 7th of December. Oh, but that deadline's passed, you say? Of course it has. But in the class-before-the-last-class, the professor said that he didn't care about when we handed it in, and he'll just grade it whenever we do, and if the registrar's put us done for a failed class, then he'll change it back to a pass. I know a kid who took another class with him Spring 2006, and still hasn't handed in the paper yet.

So what about you? How's your week been?

well.....*points to sig* :D

In the last week I asked out a girl who crazily said yes.:) We've been out and about a bit and it's all good. Went to a charity disco with her and her family on Saturday night, dressed up as Santa. She invaded my flat last night with a christmas tree and lights\baubles\tinsel\crackers etc. after i told her that I don't do Christmas at mine 'cos the cat would destroy the decorations. I'm happier now than I've been in a bloody long time:)

Apart from that, a bit of gaming and saw an old friend that I haven't seen in ages.

Today I took off work and did nothing except play Gears of War on XBOX 360 (my new fav game).

I wrote three exams, found patent leather pumps that I desperately want but cannot afford, fixed upon the truth of the statement "people I like never like me," and posted a few christmas cards.

God, exams are amazing, aren't they?

I had three in the week previous to this one, plus thirty five hours at the desk for work, plus a good eight hours a night of studying, to guarantee a good grade. (And it's not cramming, if I've been pulling the eight hour nights for a month continuous)

This week I have finals, last week I had a paper, work and classes.

In the last week I:
- bought Christmas presents for my boyfriend, his mom and his brother
- cried on the phone with a friend
- managed not to get drunk with all the attorneys at the office Christmas party
- ran for an average of about 40 minutes a day
- mailed a few Christmas cards and ran out of stamps
- had a long conversation in French for the first time in several months

Nothing exciting, really.

In this last week I:
-Last week took forever to get through, it just dragged on
-Worked every week day mostly, as I normally do
-Did little to no school work, even less than usual
-Messed around with this chick a few times, but she's a Man-Eater and I'm weak willed when it comes to women, so I don't know what I'm doing still seeing her
-Had a friend stop talking to me because of said Man-Eater
-Went to Hooters sunday for a friend's birthday
-and I generally just kinda felt like shit the last two days of school

So, this hasn't been the best week I've had except the immediate times I was with said chick, I kinda forget about everything else.

this week i have mostly been doing extreme procrastination. i am in the library right now. been here since about 1630 (it's now half nine) theoretically revising for my exam on friday but i've made only one page of notes. the rest of the time i've been on nsg or mindlessly browsing t'interweb. when i go home in about half an hour i will probably watch some special features off the lost seasoin 2 set.
