2nd!!!! 2nd degree, that was a typo. My bad. Yeah, if it were a 3rd, I'd have definitely gone to an ER.

Phew thank god iit's only 2nd degree. Not that that's good, but it's better than 3rd.

sorrow : I just finished the last of the final exams today , and I did I horribly . I spent the last couple of days studying the more complex part of the lessons , thinking that because of how hard they are , they will surely be on the test , only to be smacked in the face with a giant "NOPE!" when half of the test was about the most basic stuff , which we learned at the very beginning of the course . Of course being a fool I did not prepare for that .
To be fair it's not like we weren't told to study everything , our instructor even warned us specifically not to ignore the basic stuffs , so I have no one else to blame but my own for this , but still....*sigh*.....

There's still a chance that I will pass this one , but regardless , this is so bad

Hahaha, I laugh in pain for you. That happened to me on my math Final. I thought that some of this hard stuff would be on the test. Turns out that there were exactly 2 questions pertaining to it and the rest was about other, easier, stuff. I'm sure you'll pass.

it's one of those syntactical class ^^"
Furious : so our internet cable got cut again , and this time they have the nerve to say that expect it to be fix on the 28th , it got snapped from the 5th , and we know they found where the damage is , WHY DO YOU WAIT UNTIL 28 ?!

Joy: I'm officially employed!

~~Sorrow: My first shift starts at 6:30 AM tomorrow, so I won't be able to stay up for the comic on Fridays anymore. Oh well.~~

What am I saying? The comic updates Friday morning!

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Fri Jan 09, 2015 4:05 pm

Yeah I can see how that would be sad, but I'm sure that all of your shifts won't be at 6:30 AM right? Anyway, congratulations on getting a job!

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Fri Jan 09, 2015 4:08 pm

Only on Saturdays, until 12:15. My other shift is Wednesday from 2:30 to 9:30 PM

Joy: We got some snow!

Sorrow:
After 16 years of protecting my family, flying over fences (quite literally), walking a dirt path into the ground, and teaching the next generation of dogs how to protect a home, my oldest friend, Buster, died today silently and happily in my dad's arms. I'm going to miss him so much...

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Fri Jan 09, 2015 7:04 pm

I'm sorry to hear that, Neon.

You have my condolences.

, at least he went peacefully

I'm sorry to hear that Neon. May he rest in peace.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Fri Jan 09, 2015 9:27 pm

I'm sorry for your loss Neon. I hope you can get through it.

Bucky-Roo · Post by **Bucky-Roo** » Fri Jan 09, 2015 11:26 pm

I'm sorry that had to happen Neon. Hope you're doing ok.

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Sat Jan 10, 2015 12:37 am

He was a great dog...

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Sat Jan 10, 2015 1:30 am

I said it on skype but I'll say it again. I'm truly sorry for your loss, Neon. I know first hand what it is to lose a pet and to lose a loved one. If there's anythign I can do to help you please don't hesitate to ask.

Joy: Had a productive afternoon of gardening.
Sorrow: Accidentally knocked out a bird's nest with two baby wrens when I pulled out a plant.
Mixed: At least they're wrens so they're not a rare or endangered species - rather they're very common.
Hopefully a joy: I put the nest back in a nearby plant that I wasn't going to pull out and later saw a male and female wren near the nest. So hopefully the parents found the chicks again and will look after them again. *crosses his pawfingers and hopes*

Deske · Post by **Deske** » Sat Jan 10, 2015 1:42 pm

Sorry that happened to you, Neon. At least he went peacefully and with loved ones.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sat Jan 10, 2015 3:37 pm

Don't worry Hlaoroo! I'm sure that everything will work out fine for the wrens.

Cesco · Post by **Cesco** » Sat Jan 10, 2015 4:47 pm

It's a sad loss, MrNeonShot, but your friend was now old. Fortunately he passed away with his loved owners.

Remember all the great time spend with him.

Extreme Joy: I am actually crying right now (partly from the happiness, mainly from all the memories). A couple years ago, I had a boyfriend that had cancer. I cared about him a lot and if it weren't for him, I wouldn't be alive today (I won't go into detail of what he did, but I will say he did stop me from doing something really bad). A couple of months before he lost his battle with cancer, he gave me a gift for my birthday (at the time I never really celebrated birthdays; I still don't). It was a sleeveless shirt. I know it doesn't sound like much, but the shirt was from 1981, during Rush's "Moving Pictures" tour. Rush was our favorite band and I loved the shirt. About three months after he passed, my mother and I had to move and the shirt got lost during the move. I was going through some old clothes not too long ago and I found the shirt in there.

I... I honestly can't express the happiness I feel right now in words.....

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Sun Jan 11, 2015 1:26 am

I'm sorry to hear about your friend, Serge. I'm glad you found the shirt though. Keepsakes and treasured memories like that are irreplaceable so it's great that you still have it and that you can remember the good times with your buddy.

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Sun Jan 11, 2015 12:56 pm

To Neon and Sergei: Sorry i wasn't around to read those at the time. I'm sad to hear that about your dog, Neon, but at least he lived a long life.

As for Sergei, that's so sad. D: But i'm glad you found the shirt. Keepsakes are important for the memories and nostalgia and as long as you don't grow too attached to them, they are worth it. :3

Sorrow: My cousin in Calgary lost his job with a co-worker for not locking up a area due to an incident. Apparantly he had no idea, but they fired him anyway. =\ He's currently signed up for two jobs and I hope it works out for him. In the meantime, i'm just hanging out with him while he's free, so i'll be busy with him in the meantime, playing games.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sun Jan 11, 2015 3:24 pm

Sorry to hear about your cousin. I hope that he does get a new job soon.

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Sun Jan 11, 2015 3:33 pm

Sorry for your loss, Sergei. Thats an awesome shirt you have there ^^

Thanks for all the kind words, guys.
The saddest part about losing Buster is that his best friend, lookout dog, and successor, Oso the neighbor dog, can no longer bark at Buster to tell him we were home or around his area. He's so sad without Buster :'(

Joy : Fixed my computer, it runs very nice now. Not looking forward to reinstalling Skyrim, but most of my other stuff is reinstalled.

JeffCvt · Post by **JeffCvt** » Sun Jan 11, 2015 7:56 pm

Oh, cool Deske. It's always nice having a working hard drive with your computer.

Even though this was earlier this week, I guess I could list this:
Joy: My truck passed inspection for another two years. I know different states deal with tagging vehicles differently, but in Delaware you have to go for a quick inspection at the DMV. They check your windows, lights, emissions, and then you have to drive forward onto a special set of plates that you have to brake hard on so they can make sure your brakes work.

The big joy is that I was pretty sure I would fail the brake test because the front right brake hangs up slightly when you first press the petal and the back left has a very, very minor fluid leak that makes it feel kinda funny. Now I don't have to work on the brakes for a little while! (And before you all say something, yes, the truck is safe. It still brakes just the same as it always has.)

sorrow: winter break's over, back to the grind of classes.

Deske · Post by **Deske** » Sun Jan 11, 2015 9:50 pm

Sorrow: Aaaand something screwed up. When I try to choose a place to download a file in Firefox, the left side of the file explorer, where the rest of the computer is, doesn't show up. Just some random file. Like right now it's on Pictures and I can't change that.
Does the same thing with Utorrent too. I'm downloading Overgrowth and when I go to choose a place for the file, it shows up the exact same way. I did a bunch of scans and windows, CCleaner, and SuperAntiVirus tell me there's nothing wrong.

I restarted, it blue screened on shutdown, then proceeded to start back up again. Now it works. I am beyond confused...

Sorrow: I left the navigation system plugged in and it drained my car's battery during the last week. Waiting for my aunt to come home to supply power to start my car...

Aarden · Post by **Aarden** » Mon Jan 12, 2015 10:59 am

Sorrow: Warning light on my car again.
Joy: Still in warranty at least, hopefully it isn't a major problem.

Sorrow: 3 hour semiconductor and analogue electronics exam on Wednesday.

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Mon Jan 12, 2015 3:33 pm

Frustration: DISH added Animal planet for just a little while and then took it away - that's like giving a dog a bone and then taking it away.

Also, I'm really sick of all the HD and movie channels they keep adding that are useless to us - we keep turning those channels off and they keep adding new ones.

Sorrow: Due to our location out in the middle of nowhere, we're pretty much stuck with them.

Kyuunado · Post by **Kyuunado** » Mon Jan 12, 2015 3:44 pm

Joy: planning a full gaming PC, all from the store I work at, with heavy discounts. Soon nobody will be safe from my mouse clicking wrath!

Joy: My life is mostly starting to stabilize a bit.
