wait, usually the peeling starts before the itching, not after... at least for me.

That’s how it works with me, too.

I'm going to do that if it still is like that but my sunburns (if that is what they are) are starting to clear up now.

That's good. It's probably gonna go away but it's a good idea to be safe if it won't go away!

Though now on my legs whenever it is the wind blowing on them, I feel little sharp pokes and they are very itchy. And that is where I didn't get sunburned. Maybe I have born sunburns and a rash. :/

I don't get blisters. Usually I just peel.

Though I showed my mother a sunburn I had gotten on my knee and she is wondering if I am allergic to the sun. :\

I've heard of people who have that type of light sensitivity. It is indeed a good idea to ask questions with your doctor.

Well my doctor is currently on leave until July so I have to wait until AFTER that in order to get an appointment unless I go to urgent care.

That's a pair of really good points, D-Rock! First of all, doctors are really bad at guessing so, take it from a geezer, bringing a little list of "events" to your annual check-up is a good idea.

Second, light sensitivity is often a symptom of other problems - like migraines - especially if you have some neurological conditions to begin with. Again, worth a question or two. ;)

Turns out it WAS just sunburns because now I'm starting to peel and my legs which I thought had rashes were just overly hot from me sitting outside.

I really don't cry at sad movies which sometimes makes me worry that I'm some sort of psychopath but the closest that made me sad was in DBZ uncensored when Mr. Robot died protecting Gohan.

I probably should get back into DBZ since it has my personal favorite feature in television shows: muscular guys. XD

So I just found out two pieces of information that is really making me feel helpless. A) I have 18 more classes I need to take to get my degree. B) They aren't on the local campus and on the campus at the OTHER side of the city. I can't help but think that I am so SCREWED right now. :cry:

And waste more money for gas which I don't have so my mother is gonna have to shell out. I drive a tiny-*** Beetle. They run out of gas surprisingly quickly if I'm going across town.

That's why I'm even more of a burden to my poor mother.

Dang. From my experience with having to switch colleges multiple times, I do know that credits for classes are more often than not transferable. Have you considered taking some of your classes from an online university, getting a transcript from them for those classes, and then using that transcript to transfer said credits to your main college?

I'm not sure if that would work since the college I am in now is a community college and I am not sure credits from a totally different university that is online and may be in another state that they are based could be carried over.

That's a lot of time and money wasted if you can't do the last bits you need for your major. Maybe you can save up a little money to make it work later if need be, after getting some work experience.

Does your school have a "career counseling service"? They can often find avenues and alternatives that academics and other administrators wouldn't know.

Maddening, ain't it? You know, what's worked for me on occasions is to show up at the office early and let it be known I'm staying until I get to see so-and-so. It's a little pushy but when you're actually there, you're polite but insistent, and they're a standard "God-save-the-Routine" minded office, someone's gonna help you.

I don't think I could do that because I am not that confrontational in real life. Anyway I sent her an e-mail so we will see how that goes.

Whenever there is a conversation going on in a room, and I try to say something after the conversation seems to be finished, there tends to be more to add to the original conversation by someone else, then when it appears that that is done, I try to say what I was planning on saying, only for there to the original conversation, it seems to repeat until I lose the motivation to say what I was planning on saying. Does anyone else feel like this?

Like rivers, some conversations just seem to have a meandering sort of momentum, not going anywhere in particular but, instead of ending at a point, they sort of spread out like wetland into no particular resolution. Sometimes we just chat because we like the sociability of each others' voices more than the topic. ... or so thinks I.

Whenever I have a conversation with someone, I have a bad habit of rambling and going off-topic when talking about a subject or just keep repeating my points in much the same but long-winded way.

Dayzee, I keep looking briefly at your current picture thinking it is a near fully green character, then I look closer and see that the character is from Sailor Moon and that I am not seeing the picture correctly.

It's not the avatar sizer's fault that Sailor Jupiter ends up coming out really green (which is weird considering that she has a LIGHTNING-affinity.)

Your avatar's so small that the colors in the avatar always make me think at a glance, that it's something from the end of Gurren Lagann, where the main characters' final robot is decked out in deep red and nearly-neon-green.

Also, I've been meaning to ask: Is there a pre-existing thread where we can discuss anime & manga that we're watching and reading? And if there isn't, is it okay if I make one?
