Yeah Gamer, I'd say you're being too hard on yourself.

Heck, if spending only a short while with her makes you feel so much better about yourself and makes you try to be better that much harder then imagine what spending a lot of time with her would feel like, even if you don't measure up to that standard you set currently, I bet your sweet ass that you'd grow into the role with time.

Funny things us humans, being able to adapt to stuff like that.

And before I forget, another pain sad. For some reason my right buttcheek occasionally has a stabbing pain sensation shoot trough it while I'm walking, might be a nerve in the wrong spot or something but it started happening yesterday or somesuch and I have no idea why. It's like I'm slowly falling apart each day without really noticing it :C

I don't think I could pay tuition in the US even if I get accepted to good colleges. No citizenship = no aid = hammer with "$25k~$45k" written on it falling on my head... makes me feel like all I've done is all useless like trying to wash your car in the rain. Down the draaaain~

Have you considered Europe? There's lots of good schools here and a good deal have shcolarships or some other stuff that makes them incredibly cheap compared to the US ones.

I don't have any qualifications for those schools, nor information, nor languages. I only know English and Korean, and my best scores are all US-centric ones like AP/SAT. My grades are best described as "vaguely above the median".

A lot of universities in non-Anglophone countries offer courses in English for international students.

Aye, I know for sure that a lot of English universities for one have many international students. I can't speak for elsewhere in Europe, but I imagine it's pretty similar.

Ninja'd: As for information, the easiest way is probably to get in touch. The worst that can happen if you email a university inquiring about applying is they don't reply or say no.

Bay12 is filled with too many people with shitty parents.

Max, Kaiju, and anybody else, we need to bring balance by being awesome parents.

We can do this.

We have the dadology.
I'm already teaching my eldest to Mario Kart (so much patience required, she's not the worlds most focused 5 year old). So I've got a decent start. A bit early to teach her Dwarf Fortress though. I don't get this "rule with an iron fist" thing, I just want to support whatever my kids decide to do and be there for them. Bad parents  confuse and sadden me.

I am a pretty bad tutor, I think.
On the other hand it was my first day - maybe I just need to be better prepaired.

In Germany there are plenty of programs entirely in English, depending on the field and university. There is no college here, but with good enough grades and SAT, you might be able to get into university. There are many foreign students here, and there are programs to help with financing and stuff (no idea what university costs for foreigners, because otherwise it's free).

EDIT: http://www.internationale-studierende.de/en/home/
That site has plenty of information for foreign students in Germany, about costs, financing, applying and other stuff. (BTW They say you need to speak German, but I've met students who didn't at all, so that probably depends on the program.)

The trick is to appear prepared. If someone asks you something you don't know, you act horrified at their ignorance and assign it to them as homework to look it up.  ;)

My HDD is, very probably, completely, utterly and unrecoverably dead.
I could use the output of badblocks as a chronometer if I wanted to, and testdisk fails to find any partitions. It may be an issue with the actual hardware instead of bad sectors, but in that case my HD is still broken, probably unfixably. A lot of evidence points not only to widespread damage but also MFT corruption aka all my files are gone.
* miauw62 sighs

This means I:
a) lose a lot of data, including the last backup of my PREVIOUS laptop.
b) probably break warranty if I replace the HD myself
c) have to replace the HD, obviously. Which will cost sixty dollars. (actually this is a happy since I thought it'd be much more, but w/e)

Shouldn't the warranty cover the HD? If it isn't then it's a shit warranty that you should probably ignore anyways.
I sent an email to check. Fingers crossed.
