Small sorrow: did not expect >30 degrees Celsius temperatures in Paris. Sweating so much in this sweltering heat, I really am not accustomed to high temperatures :(

Also, metro stations smell of urine.

Actually, I was just visiting London a week ago...I didn't notice any smell in the tube, but maybe I just got lucky.

Joy: baked a cake...also had a great dinner with my family :)

The only public transportation where I live are busses. They have a smell to them to, next to some, not pleasant things. but that's probably for another thread.

Joy; I made cookies today. They are peanut butter cookies with chocolate chips.
They are good

Cry: Stupid Uni results. The exam board have point blank refused to let me do any referrals. A lot of people got way worse marks than me, outright failing some subjects and barely getting close to passing the rest, and yet they have been given the chance to do referrals. The really interesting part? The modules I just missed the pass grade on are all the exact same percentage. How can you achieve the exact same percentage over three subjects divided into three assignments each? It is literally impossible to get that. And yet somehow I have "miraculously" achieved it.
But they refuse to let me do an extra couple of assignments to get an amount of marks I could get by letting my cat stand on the keyboard for a while (No I'm not joking. I am only two marks away from passing each). But they are absolutely fine with forcing us to do four times as much work within half as much time. And making us do practical assignments based on things we weren't allowed to do, and then were judged on as if we should have done them before. Or they are absolutely fine with other people doing referrals to get marks A LOT higher than the ones I need.

Sorrow: I recently found out about the death of a great friend/ex-boyfriend. He used to play lead guitar in the band and we were dating then, but personal conflicts and band conflicts caused him to leave the band and a break up after a 7-month relationship in 2013. We were still good friends and hung out from time to time, but I just found out that he died the other day when he got hit by a drunk driver. He will be dearly missed by me and the rest of the band alike.

I've heard many stories of drunk drivers killing people. Sometimes I think the threat of prison time isn't enough. Sometimes I think there should be more drastic consequences...

How do you not finish Drivers Ed in time? I had a class that I had to attend and test drives I had to attend. I didn't get a chance to not finish. Unless I skipped the test days.

Dear god I understand. I have 5 days left to finish a bunch of huge projects because I failed English. It's awful but I'm super close to maybe getting it, if my teachers helps me correct a few mistakes. I submitted stuff to the wrong place, she needs to remove it because I can't.

Annoyance: ChromeOS just updated on my Chromebook and now the scrolling on my mouse is just a little different than before. It's not much, but you don't have the ability to adjust it on a Chromebook and I use a precision scroll wheel. So the effect is amplified for me and now I have to get used to it all over again.

Joy : SOOOOOOOO I did my summer school stuff. 12 tests, 3 exams, 3 projects and I'm done. I have a D in it currently, but I'm passing which is good enough for me. I'm not going to stop, I'm going to try to get a C so that maybe the school-based portion of my self-esteem will stay hovering around "I'm alright with myself."

Sorrow: After much discussion last night and this morning, it is now official. After about 5 years together and 3 albums made together, "Stabbed Before The Gates", the heavy metal band I co-founded in 2009, is breaking up. I really don't want to go into details, but there has been a lot of conflict in the band and we agreed this would be the best way to be able to go seperate ways on good terms. We should be completely disbanded by the end of August.

Joys: I have only one night of clinicals left.

Sorrow: Half my classmates already have jobs lined up and have registered for RN prerequisites. I feel like I am lazy and have no direction.

Joy: My television finally came back from the manufacturer because the old one shorted out.

Sorrow: I have to work 6 days in a row again.

Sorrow: My Acer desktop is having trouble starting up. Worked this morning just fine, but there was apparantly a fuse shortage at home that might've shot the computer's power supply (despite being protected by power surges). I also never realized it, but this computer was given to me when i first discovered Housepets. I shall christen three The Housepets Desktop Computer. =P

on the bright side, it's time to use my notebook! i can play my 3DS more and talk on Skype more until we figure out the problem.
