Lectures.

[TD1]

Lecture hall, stand in front, put up powerpoint, speak.

Makes me really grateful for my class of ~15 people, huh

[chaotic skies]

I just realized I may have a bit of a want to feel powerful, because I just put on power armor in Fallout 4 and it's the best thing I've ever seen. Never taking this stuff off unless I have to or get something better.

[itisnotlogical]

I wasted my entire day, so now I'm exhausted yet want to do something productive.

My maths class is 150. My applied maths class is 100. My computer science class is about a hundred, but the bigger classes are closer to three hundred.

It's possible with some effort and a good setup.

Wrong thread, or am I missing something here?



In my own (not really) mild sads, I'm still kinda sick. I'm a bit better after a couple of days spent basically convalescing, but it's not fun.
Still got a sniffle and a lot of congestion. Still wearing a bunch of lazy, warm pyjama-type clothes. Still probably not gonna leave my house today.

A group of my friends and/or housemates (that's nice and ambiguous) have an art exhibition starting tonight, too, and they wanted me to go to the opening night, or party or whatever you'd rather call it. I kind of wanted to go, since I haven't had much interaction with these guys lately and they are probably wasting away on the inside without the joy of my presence, but it will no doubt go late and I would rather not risk setting back my recovery. Not to mention the fact that I enjoy such social interactions little enough to begin with, let alone whilst sick. (I wanted to put a mildly sad emoticon here, but I already used one in the last paragraph. Damn. That's mildly sad.)


At least the gallery goes for a few days or so, apparently, but it would have been best to catch the opening. Alas.

Missing something, I didn't give the rest of the information. I absolutely hate power, and especially when it's in my hands. To know I enjoy feeling powerful is...unpleasant. The other half is me trying to look for a good side.

Power's great. You can do lots of cool things with power. You can also abuse the shit out of it, but that's dependent on the individual and not a property of power in and of itself.

[Shook]

To be fair though, Fallout 4's power armour is pretty damn awesome. There's nothing wrong with enjoying power, but there IS something wrong with enjoying power abuse, at least in the real world. The good thing about video games is that you can be a psychopathic murderer without anyone actually getting hurt, if you should so desire. I mean, just look at some DF players. :v

It's consistently warmed back up enough the mosquitoes are back in force.

Fuck mosquitoes. Fuck mosquitoes with a mosquito fucking stick, dipped in tar and doused in napalm.

By cramming them all (all ~60 of them) into a classroom and poor ventilation and teaching the poor fools. At least, that was how the American History I class was for me. Learnin' about incan economy while trying to not to succumb to the heat.

[Yoink]

According to an excellent TV show I watched a while ago, the poor ventilation and uncomfortable warmth is intentional, to keep students attentive.

Uncomfortable? We're talking 40+°C here.
