I thought we needed this thread. Anyhow, how are you today? I'm damn tired.

Oberösterreich?

Oberösterreich?

Your translation skills are.....about what I expected, really.

File under S for "Spamtastic!".

Kalt und muede.
Me, too. :(

Kalt und muede.

Kalt und muede.Kalt und erschöpft. Ha! =D

Coughing my lungs up, but otherwise just dandy :D

mad, shocked and using a long power cord to have power as i have lights but no power sockets

Tired because I was up until 3 consoling and advising a friend, pissed off because I've gone to the wrong university, and currently suspecting I'm falling in love.

Other than that, everything's hunky dory.

Kalt und erschöpft. Ha! =D

Ja. "Erschöpft" beschreibt mir doch besser.

Sore. Damn you Wii sports!

Spitz und geil...und werde gleich onanieren.;)

To be honest, things sound like they cancel each other out. I do think you are truly hunky dory.

How strange. I'm not, at all.

dudette, I've had a cough for the last week, damn it. And I'm pissed at the Japanese (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21877284/), but with as faulty as some game systems are that's normal; so yea, I'm good.

Change Uni's. Problem solved, no? xD If you've gone to the wrong university, do not stay. Maybe complete this year if you want to and then try and change, but if you are truly unhappy, and will be for the rest of the school year, then quit. Earn some money for a while.

At least the friend will be grateful. And for tiredness, one word - Relentless.

As for the love, well, I can't fix everything :)

sleep-deprived

Oberösterreich?

Upper Austria (no I didn't use an online translator I knew that already )
how is that a feeling anyway?

Я чувствую себя довольным быть живого, большое спасибо за выяснение.

Dude?
*checks down her blouse*
Nope, they're still there. You must be mistaking me for someone else ;)

Tired, it's 3am and I should've been in bed ages ago. Instead I decided to play some UT2004 and read the whole "OMG teh uni hatez Christians" thread.

Oberösterreich?

No. Higher Austria. My name should not connote a particular region as it should a state of mind.

With that cough of mine? Nah, I feel Swiss. ;)

So basically perfect.

Ha. Ha. Ha.....let's all make fun of the Swiss dialects.....

Chüchichaestli and all.....

Tired and slightly confused relationship-wise.

fucking tired and cold. feeling ok though, just got no energy to put into getting things done at work. we ran our annual conference last week and have been working 18 hour days for the last 2 weeks to prepare... come back and all the adrenaline is gone :p

also cold because its horribly cold today. i put my gloves on in the office earlier. it made typing hard but it was worth it :)


other than that i had a great weekend with my girlfriend (mostly lying in front of the open fire :D) and had a very tasty lunch (chinese) with my boss to talk about things.

going home soon. woo!

Erm, this is actually an old one. Oooooold. Much less funny, too. But I don't think you'd mind...It reminded me of the "Wir in Finnland..." *shudder* "Wer chat's erfuuuuund'n?"

And the one with the Finns was the most harmless, despite featuring fat men wearing nothing but a towel...

Pretty good. Gotta finish an essay in Russian, but I'm smoking some lovely rose shisha, eating a bourbon biscuit, and listening to Maria by Rage Against the Machine.:D

Kalt und erschöpft. Ha! =D

Kalt, angepisst, und erschöpft. Doppel-hah!

me Iam spiffing really

Good. How are you?

I'm quite well thank you. I just finished up a Biology Exam, and I think I did well. I'm getting Mass Effect tomorrow, and it's likely that game will last me months.

Plus, it's almost Turkey Day so...that's a bonus!

Well I am finally acing at something in college that will actually lead to a real job, and I am falling in love with my girlfriend. I feel like things are finally falling in place for me (finally), so I can't really complain.

I'm doing pretty well overall. Just one more day of school and then there's a five-day break for Thanksgiving. But I have to take several quizzes tomorrow before I get to that break.

Also, today I found out that in the senior superlatives at my school I'm in the running for Most Likely to Succeed, Most Shy, Most Unique, and Teacher's Pet. I don't know if I'll get any of them but I might. :)

Tired as hell. I hate college apps... HATE!!

exactly. I feel the same way.

I thought I had that once, but, fortunately, it turned out to be only the onset of flu.

I'm feeling . . .
Not so happy about all this German stuff appearing all the sudden.

Meh, I'd be doing better if Lunatic Goofballs would answer my prayers. :cool:

Stupid French pronunciation.:rolleyes:

I have much the same problem with Spanish. I can get what's being said, but I can't say it anywhere near correctly. Not that anyone where I live would know the difference.

My stomach feels like it's trying to make a dash up my oesophagus to freedom, my head feels like it's about to explode, I feel like a person-sized radiator and I'm stuck in a lousy place completely failing to study something of no interest to me and no practical value, feeling immensely lonely and unfulfilled, with a body of water separating me from home and a series of irritating work deadlines dotting the gap between now and the flight out of this godforsaken hell hole.

Otherwise, just peachy thanks!

Did you really want to know that?

I think you're just trying to hard....Spanish is one of those pronounced as it looks languages. It's quite easy. German is another like that...you pronounce every letter. Pronounced as seen.

The problem is that the pronunciation that comes to mind when I see Spanish is the French one. That's probably because I've been studying French off and on for about 12 years.

Also, aside from TV I don't hear Spanish, ever.

Understood but if you wanted to learn Spanish and learn the pronounciation, it wouldn't take long....as opposed to if I were to study French, it would take forever for me to get the pronounciation down....hence my dropping it after 2 weeks.

I just started studying French after studying Latin for 3 years (in my 4th year now). I was afraid of taking it as a class because I'm really bad at pronouncing things, but I'm not any worse at pronouncing things than anyone else in the class seems to be, so I figure I'm fine. Plus I ace all of the tests anyway pretty much... but it's a really easy class, mostly full of high school freshmen (I'm a high school senior).

I remember when I went to Miami and there were signs that were only in Spanish and not in English... I could kind of read them but I wouldn't have had any idea how to pronounce them...

The signs here are generally in English and Spanish (in the more Latin areas of Miami)....there are hardly any places where there are signs only in Spanish....and none that are important because any sign that is important must be in English as it's the language of laws.

Unfortunatly, this whole "bilingual" South Florida thing hurts immigrants because it doesn't force them to assimilate as much as it would if the signs were only in English..so while the leftists down here think it's "tolerant" and "multicultural" and "flowers and rainbows", it actually hurts the people they're tring to help in the long run.

I thought we needed this thread. Anyhow, how are you today? I'm damn tired.

Apart from a brief stab of panic due to the early sunset(due to me being stupid and waking up at 3:00 PM and having to rush to get my walk in) I'm very good, as I have been as of late due to LOSING WEIGHT! :D

There were signs in English and Spanish wherever I was but there were just a few signs that were only in Spanish that I noticed. I don't really remember where in Miami I was though. I just really didn't like Miami, it seemed way too big, and the traffic seemed really bad.

I'm from South Florida too, btw. :) (much further north than Miami, though...)

Ft. Lauderdale is nicer than Miami, but Miami has some unique stuff, like the Heat Arena and Miami Beach and all that.....but (as I'm orginally from Southern California) I like to compare it to L.A. and San Diego...L.A. (Miami) is more happening and unique but San Diego (Ft. Lauderdale) is nicer, better to live in and more.....down to earth.

Are you north of Broward? As in Palm Beach? If so you're either gonna be old and Jewish or old and old.:D

Just kidding, where ya from? I'm from between Ft. Lauderdale and Miami, though I won't say the exact area here online...if you're from South Florida you should know exactly the area between Ft. Lauderdale and Miami.

I was going to go to Ft. Lauderdale but unfortunately one of the hurricanes hit there the weekend before I was to go.

I'm further north than that...possibly more towards central, but on the west side of Florida... I'm somewhere around Bradenton now and will go to Tampa next year when I go to USF.

If you're further North than Palm Beach, you ain't in South Florida. :p

South Florida = Tri-County 'Palm, Broward, Dade'.

You should try to get back to Ft. Lauderdale, it's quite nice.

Anyway, in my opinion Florida's two best universities are UM and UCF. UCF is best for your money and is booming at an insane speed, and University of Miami is just the shit because it's the awesome Miami school, though really fucking expensive. Not a big fan of FSU nor UF.

Ah, my mistake. I thought being south of the University of South Florida was enough. :(

But it did take a long time to get to Miami... but it took a long time to get to Jacksonville too... I ended up going to Jacksonville instead of Ft. Lauderdale to see Phantom of the Opera, and I also went there for one of my Latin competitions (I liked going to Orlando better, as we were on Disney property just a short walk away from Downtown Disney... plus it was only like a 2 hour bus ride...) I went to Miami because my brother was playing in a chess tournament there... it was either a state one or a national one, I can't remember...

I like USF though. Didn't they just get a nanoscience research center or something? That's what I want to do, so yeah, I want to go there. And they'll probably give me more scholarship money than the others... UM would be way too expensive. Hopefully I'll move up to National Merit Finalist from Semi-Finalist, though. :)


I should be working on my calculus homework now...

For USF or any Florida public university, just get Florida Bright Futures scholarship. You can get up to 100% tuition coverage of any public Florida university you can get into if you have...a 3.5 and abov and a 1200 and above on the SAT (old version).

I'm sure you have that so yeah...go for it! Think of how happy your parents will be when you get 100% coverage.

BTW, our state has a fucking awesome university system in general.

Your homework can wait...NSG and figuring out about college is more important anyway.

Yeah, I know about Bright Futures, but I'm hoping to get scholarships to cover room and board, too. I have a 1410 the old way on the SAT and well over a 4.0 weighted, so I know I'll be fine with that. My parents also got a pre-paid plan when I was little. And I know that USF offers a $10,000 per year scholarship to National Merit Finalists... so I'm excited. :)

Yeah, I've noticed that and I'm excited to go to USF. I got accepted a month or so ago, and to the Honors College and the College of Engineering. I'm hoping to do the 5-year Master's program for Chemical Engineering. :)

Your homework can wait...NSG and figuring out about college is more important anyway.

I've decided to multi-task. :)

But I have a quiz tomorrow in calculus and I'm at about a 90% right now thanks to one 86% test grade, despite getting 100% on everything else, so I do need to study for that.

Florida's university system isn't all that bad, ironically. However, I lived for a spell in Melbourne, and have been a few places around the state. I wasn't all that fond of it.

I hope it does change by then because that would mean the economy in Michigan had improved to where people would want to migrate to my frozen little corner of the Earth. If you're from a hot climate you don't move this far north without a damned good reason.

I went to Michigan for a little while for two different summer to visit my cousins. They said the heat was driving them crazy, and I was just like, "Nah, it's nice out." :) They'd probably have the same reaction if they came here during the winter while I'm wearing my coat, though...

Cruising along...

im Fantabulous

Florida's university system is one of the best, I think. Our high schools are some of the shittiest in the civilized world, but our university system (and scholarship system) is top notch excellent. Melbourne, or Melboring, as they call it, is probably WHY you were not so fond of it. :p South Florida is a millllllionnnn zillionnn times better. It's the best place in the state. :D

You don't want to trade economic depression for social and ethnic tensions and ethnic enclaves, you want to sorta out both problems...though I admit that is easier said than done.

Still, the first way to solve a problem is to address it.

Absolutely livid in my jovial attitude today.

Yeah. I really like that Florida has Bright Futures and pre-paid. :)

That's cool. I've always been fascinated by different languages and cultures. I'm excited that I might get to go to Europe this summer (probably to France, Spain, and Italy). I'm planning on applying for my passport on Wednesday (would have applied sooner but it turned out that my mom only had a copy of my birth certificate at that time).


Math is my nemesis.


To me it's usually been something that isn't particularly interesting but comes pretty easily to me. Calculus is a lot more interesting to me but not nearly as easy... I had grades over 100% in geometry, algebra II, and pre-calculus/trig. I had a 95% in AP Calculus last quarter but this quarter has been more difficult so far.

Plus I'm going to have to take a lot of math when I get to college, I know...

Sciences are what I really love though. :)

Well... this year I'm taking 2 sciences, 2 maths, 2 foreign languages, and then the 2 required classes (English and economics/US government).

Sad. Lonely. My boyfriend went back to college yesterday, and my favorite class will not fit in my schedule.
Plus I have to climb into an oil tank tomorrow, so I'm not looking forward to that.
Thankful it's a short week and I get Thursday and Friday off ...
I think that covers it.

God damn right it is. Have you noticed a rash of "they're after our water!" stories in the local press lately? They seem to come around every winter.

Oh don't worry, we already have ethnic tensions and enclaves. The Detroit metro area is the most segregated metro area in the country.

And you want more of this why?
Take a look at L.A. or Miami...Detroit only suffers ethnic tensions and enclaves with Blacks, not with Blacks AND Latinos.

totally knackered. I flew in from NZ after two very stressful and not-particularly-pleasant weeks there on the overnighter Friday, getting here at 6am, home by 9am. Sunday I was in a race, paddling around Hong Kong Island (46km).
Monday back to work, meaning getting up at 6am. Gym that night and in bed by 9pm.
Didn't help. Still barely functioning. Got acupuncture tonight which hopefully will help with the neck tension thing that resurfaced due to aforementioned stressful fortnight in NZ.
blah.

As far as I know you're right, there aren't many problems with Latinos in Detroit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neighborhoods_in_Detroit%2C_Michigan#Mexicantown)

On second thought, let's nip this nascent immigration debate in the bud and keep it in threads where that's the topic. And besides, you and I will never convince the other.

Right now, I'm feeling great. :)
I just found out my SAT scores. My math score stayed the same at 650, but my reading score went up to an 800 and my writing score went up to 790! Yay! :D

Fantastic! Today was my last day at work for 4 weeks, I'm on holiday as of tomorrow. We even opened a bottle of champagne this evening to celebrate. :)

I'm glad you keep on the sunny side of life.

Can't tell if that's sarcastic or not (the tank wore me out and I can hardly think), but thanks. I'll take it as non-sarcastic.
