too bad Yey didn't offer German this semester.

Sorrow: My department moved my biodiversity class so that it ends 7pm on Mondays and wdnesdays and 9pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays

and they also moved up my evolutionary biology class so I have to get up before 7.30 for the whole week (mondays to Saturdays T-T)

Sorrow: Feeling sick (sinus congestion, fatigue - possibly the flu) >.<
Joy/Sorrow: The mover's truck broke down, so our stuff won't come until Thursday (that gives me some time to recover).

Joy: Forgot to mention this, but 3 days ago my sister while i was at work got the orange cat adopted that was prowling around our house for over a week, starving. we fed it to the point it came regularly and called our local pet control and they found someone that would adopt it. Was very happy to hear that. <3

Joy: "Wait until Christmastime for Christmastime" still has some believers left in this world gone mad.

Sorrow: I think I've been... not overheating, but running my laptop hotter than its normal operating temperature for a good while. At least since the end of August or so. I'm pretty sure everything should be okay, but I can't help but be worried about my RAM. All of my research says RAM (At least the kind in my computer) can survive up to about 180 degrees Fahrenheit or so. I only have 4 GB of it though and lately, when I've been listening to music, Google Play is acting up on occasion. I'm worried that I could have killed some of it and for over $10 a GB, I can't really afford more at the moment.

Joy: I've at least got the cooling issue solved. A 12" X 15" piece of 3/16 inch plywood ensures that all four of my laptop's feet are sitting on a flat surface and the intake for the fan (Which is on the bottom) can actually get air now. I even put a 1 1/2" strip of wood on one end so now my keyboard has a little bit of a tilt to it.

I have my laptop on a metal pie rack. It allows free air flow and dissipates the heat at the same time.

My plywood trick is working fine for now.

I also need to pull the fan out and clean it. My laptop's several years old and I've never done that. That'll probably help a lot if I find out it's dusty.

Joy: I have a date in a few weeks~

Sorrow: I'm probably not going to go on the camping trip with my friends this weekend due to weather.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Thu Nov 13, 2014 2:22 am

Sorrow: I got sick in class and almost had to go home
More Sorrow: The muffler to my car fell off
Even More Sorrow: I know have to drive my sister's crappy little car. Its an ugly bubblegum Nissan Altima while mine was an Infiniti Q45

Joy: Starting to get on my feet again education wise.
Sorrow: I'm stressed out of my mind and I can't focus in class.

Sorrow: I'm starting to get sick... again... I'm soooo sick of being sick.
Joy: I think I found a spark of inspiration again for my writing.
Joy: I'm feeling a lot happier than I've been normally feeling over the past two weeks. Yay.

EDIT: Sorrow: I CAN'T SLEEP!

Totally meant to use that Spark pun. XP (My character's name is Sparks.)

SergeiTheFox · Post by **SergeiTheFox** » Thu Nov 13, 2014 9:15 am

Joy: My vocal chords have healed faster than expected, so the bleeding has stopped and my voice has returned to normal.

Joy: I beat the first and second "Five Nights At Freddy's" in less than 3 hours yesterday (Yesterday was the first time ever playing them. Thank you YouTube).

Sorrow: For the past few nights, I have had nightmares every time I fell asleep and I would wake up crying for most of them.

Sorrow: Today, I found out a friend of mine got in a car wreck last night. He survived, but he is in critical condition right now.

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Thu Nov 13, 2014 3:56 pm

Joy: I finally started my fanfic with dryideabad!

Deske · Post by **Deske** » Thu Nov 13, 2014 10:22 pm

Angry Sorrow : I cannot for the life of me figure out how to even get remotely near my space station core in KSP. Every attempt ends up 50,000KM away from it and there's always little to no hope of getting to it.

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Thu Nov 13, 2014 11:43 pm

Joy: All our household goods arrived from storage.

Sorrow: The house now smells like dusty old blankets...

Joy: ...except for in my room.

Genuine confusion here.

Are you making a fanfic starring the thermodynamically-punny bat or collaborating with said bat?

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Fri Nov 14, 2014 6:11 pm

Its a collab. I should have mentioned that.

Sorrow: an old family friend lost her battle with stomach cancer yesterday.

You have mine too. Neoplasms... what are going to do with them?

Deske · Post by **Deske** » Sat Nov 15, 2014 1:21 pm

Sorrow : There's a high chance one of my RAM sticks is going bad. Because you know, once something else works, something else always has to break.

D3ath_0ps · Post by **D3ath_0ps** » Sat Nov 15, 2014 1:30 pm

Ultra-Joy: I got to sing with my choir the National Anthem and our School song for the last home game of the season! SO HAPPY! SO COLD!

At least RAM isn't that hard to change. What makes you so sure it's going bad anyway? From what I've gathered, they're not really fragile.

my condolences sergei. I don't know what else to say..

Cesco · Post by **Cesco** » Sat Nov 15, 2014 4:44 pm

You have my condolences for the losses, Hlaoroo and Sergei.

Unfortunately, I still can't greatly figure how an important person loss can make you feel inside, but one day I will, inevitably...

Sorry for your loss Sergei. If you ever need anyone, well, we're all here for you.

If it's not that then it's Windows telling falsely judging it to be bad. I have much of the research to do I guess.
