xSxqPowerx Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Haha I hate those trig integrals. But yeah, once you get the hang of the double-integration-by-parts-cancel-out-the-original-integral-thing, it's not so bad. I've officially been offered a spot as a master's student (mechanical engineering) for next year, as long as I maintain my marks. I'll be researching thunderstorm downbursts and doing some density-driven simulations. Should be interesting, and I certainly don't feel ready to go out and start my career yet - so grad school is ideal. Applying for some scholarships right now and it's a fair bit of work. I'm expected to write a proposal for the project in the next week for my scholarship applications, which is kind of weird since I've only just been introduced to the topic.

Randox Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Some good news today. Our fridge seems to have killed its first mouse (we think the mouse tried to crawl into it from the bottom and shocked itself). The bad news is that between the time I found it dead, and the disposing of the body, another mouse revealed itself by attacking a loaf of bread. But now the pest control guys are coming back in the morning, and are going to pull some appliances out and take a look at the wall to see if there is anything that needs to be plugged up. Also going to trap the shit out of our kitchen since the sticky traps have yet to claim a victim. Be happy when this is all sorted out again.

Randox Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Not an option. Also, many cats couldn't be less interested in killing mice. We do have a neighbors cat which likes to prowl around our yard though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skull Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I was hungover this morning. I still am, but not as badly as earlier. Definitely not drinking for a while. [bleep] the law, they can eat my dick that's word to Pimp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distracted Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I haven't posted here in a while. I've been having a hell of a time, but I didn't really feel like typing out everything that happened to me here. Some highlights: last weekend, I met a girl at a festival, and I think I now have a girlfriend. I'll only be able to see her again next weekend because she lives about an hour away by tram, and has a busy schedule, but she seemed eager to date and so am I. This week, a class that has two of my best friends in it has Italian exchange students coming over. Because I'm so close with those friends, I get invited to their get-togethers. Those Italians may suck at drinking, but they're great fun to be around. Thursday, yesterday and today there'll be a party with that group of Italians. All in all, life's really good for me right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furah Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Greetings from hospital! It's now Sunday morning and I've been here since Friday evening. I had an inflammed appendix which has been removed, and I'm now waiting to be told if I get discharged today or . Walking is a bit painful, but luckily I had my phone and tablet brought to me yesterday. I also get a free newspaper every morning, which also gives me something to do. I've received a number of phone calls and had a limited number of visitors, so I'm glad to know people care about me. I'm just really bummed out that I couldn't see Tim last night, and that I probably won't get to for a while now. I'll probably give him a call before he leaves at the very least.

Distracted Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Appendicitis sucks. I hope you get out soon. Did you have a bag attached to your abdomen after the surgery? If you didn't, it shouldn't take too long to get discharged. If you did, then it won't take long either, jjust a bit longer. Just so you guys know, I'm drunk right now. At the start of the evening we went into a jazz bar, thinking there was a live show. There wasn't, and we were all alone in the bar. We chatted with the bartender a bit, jokingly asking him if we couldn't play some music. Before we knew it, my friend and I were on stage, him on drums and I had a semi-acoustic guitar in my hand, missing the high e string. We played a few songs, and as we played, some people (like maybe 4 people) came in. We did get an applause and they seemed positive. That made my day. Also, that friend and I are now planning on starting a band, because we actually sounded pretty good (I think) and also because we're just great friends and it's fun to play together. I'm feeling good guys. Let's hope it stays like this for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furah Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Nah, there was no bag, and I've been told by a number of nurses that I should be getting discharged today, I just have to wait on a doctor. The most annoying thing right now is that an assistance alarm for one of the showers has been going for 10-15 minutes now. I've had 3 nurses come in to the room I'm in since it started going off and I'm surprised nobody has checked on them or turned the alarm off.

Bonez899 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Well, start with the bad news first... My Great-Grandfather had a massive stroke today... He is now in ICU and will be there for the next 4 days or so... Had a call a half hour ago saying that he wasn't doing well also. Good news is I had my first football game today against Bedford and my team played our hardest, unfortunatly we lost 38-0.... Only good thing is that my team was playing its hardest and doing its best. http://forum.tip.it/topic/325514-bonez899s-journey-to-an-eventual-max/ My blog of progress on Runescape.

RpgGamer Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 @Bows: we had a ~40 hour gap in posting here last week, as I commented.@Furah: hope you get better soon!@Distracted: how on earth do you think you have a girlfriend? Last night one of the weddings I was working got canceled (groom got caught cheating) so I had one less shift, but then my third shift wedding the groom straight up never showed up, so they ended their reception early, so I only ended up working like 8 hours yesterday compared to the usual 12-15. I decided to call my friend up, as she was back in town for a night so we grabbed a few drinks and met up with another one of my friends. Chilled hardcore, put down a six pack, then decided to go over my coworker's house and party with another chunk of our former group. I ended up having another beer, and sleeping on his couch. Fun stuff. It was nice getting out again. Today I anticipate going to the verizon store and getting myself a Galaxy SIII as I have not received a new phone since 2007, I think it's time to upgrade. Super stoked about playing N64 emulators on it Quote Quote Anyone who likes tacos is incapable of logic. Anyone who likes logic is incapable of tacos.

Distracted Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I'll put it a bit differently: I'm pretty sure of it. I mean, we never really made it official I guess, but the way she (and I) acted, it seemed like it. I'll be sure of it next Sunday when I finally get to see her again but I have a good feeling about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
