He'll get over it eventually. Heck, maybe one day he'll look back on this day and have a good laugh about it. After all, it is just a video game.

That i'm hoping. I know he's a CoD fan, but paying that kind of money for maps just seems ridiculous.

Not sure if Joy or Sorrow: I went to my History 211 Final Exam, which was suposed to start at 11:30, but my professor didn't get to the classroom until 11:47. He's never ever ever been late to a class, much less an exam. It was really strange. A lot of people wanted to leave, because there is a rule at Winthrop that says if an instructor doesn't show up to class within a certain time period after the class has started, the students have the right to leave. It's 10 minutes for a regular professor and 15 minutes if they have a PhD. I would not have left though, because that would obviously be risking a lot, with a final.

*2 and a half hours later*

Joy: I finished my final exam and never have to take another history class again!!

Joy: I arrived at my house at the perfect possible time. I drove in on one of our cats chasing a mouse, and honked the car horn at him until he turned around and ran away.
Sorrow: I am punishing that cat by keeping him in my room. He hates being limited, so he is meowing non-stop and pawing on my door.

Joy: I saves that mouse's life!

Sorrow/Rage:
I'm going to throw a chair at someone do what I should have done a while ago and contact an adult about some kids that need their butts straighten out like pieces of wire. Last night I was contacted with harassing messages via Facebook, bringing my bullcrap meter up to 12 and forcing me to write this massive lab report for my physics class an hour before the due date. I am seriously considering throwing myself into the most challenging classes possible and working almost full time so I will not have the time for anyone anymore. I'm absolutely sick of all of this, and I've had enough of it. I won't be the one to get hurt here. Young adults have acted like children for too long, and now I will treat them as such. The bullcrap meter has reached 12.

Sorrow/Joy: Decided to spend a few hours reading this...fictional story thing online. I actually am really enjoying it, but at the same times it constantly makes me feel...mainly since it's a prologue, and I know it's got a bad ending...then again, any realist could realize the story is doomed from the start.

Sorrow: my best friend is apparently getting really depressed. It seems to me that he's going through a lot of the same stuff I did last year. I'm going to need to try and get him to open up about it over break. I really hope it doesn't get too bad I can't deal with watching one of my oldest friends going through that too.

sorrow: Youtube just keeps making it harder and harder to see everything uploaded by the channels you subscribe to. now there's no page that lists all of them, only highlights and you need to go to the actual channel to see them all.

Joy: pretty confident I got a good grade on my math final, which means I pass the course.

Just click "My Subscriptions" on the left.

I looked there, and there was at least one video uploaded by my subscriptions that wasn't listed there. unless that's something on the uploader's end where they can choose to have certain videos not show up there.

When you click on "My Subscriptions" it should say "All Activity" and "Uploads Only" above the list. Click "Uploads Only".

There you go.

nope, cause all of my subscriptions are set to "show uploads only" so the "all activity" is the same as my "uploads only" page, both of them neglected to inform me of at least two uploaded videos.

Then I don't know what to tell you, it works perfectly fine for me.

are you sure? have you actually looked at all of the channels you subscribe to to make sure there isn't a video it didn't list, or are you just assuming that there aren't any missing? because if I hadn't seen the link to the missing video in one of the videos it did show me, I wouldn't have noticed anything.

I've checked.

it could also have something to do with the quantity of videos. I subscribe to maybe 10, give or take, channels that upload one or more videos daily.

You can do it! You have a whole network of support! I'm sure your college has a studying/tutoring center, and we've got some pretty smart forumites here. I should probably revive the homework thread, since it's exam time for most of us.
