The cold makes my joints hurt like heck.
My knuckles have been aching like crazy, and my spine feels like it'll snap any second.
And I'm not even old! It feels like I have arthritis, or something.

Huh. I thought I felt like that because of the amount of punishment I've taken over the course of my life.

It probably is.
I just think I might have arthritis because it runs in my family, and I'm starting to show signs of it.

I will probably sue my department in the following days.

Me: Oi, I'm about to feed the cat and dog, then I'm using the bathroom, alright?
Mum: Sure.
*feeds animals, is in bathroom*
Mum: I NEED TO GET IN THERE!
Me: What? I TOLD you I'd be in here!
Mum: What?
Me: I said that I was going to feed the animals and then use the bathroom!
Mum: I didn't hear that second part! Get out of there, I have to use it!
Me: It isn't my fault that you didn't listen!
Mum: I DID LISTEN! IT'S YOUR FAULT FOR MUMBLING!
Me: You heard the first part, the only way you wouldn't be able to hear the second is if you tuned out! You heard what you wanted to hear and then ignored me!
Mum: I DID NOT! GET OUT OF THERE!
Me: I AM USING THE BATHROOM. I WILL LEAVE WHEN I'M DONE!
Mum: GET OUT OF THERE RIGHT NOW!
Me: NO!
Mum: DON'T YOU DARE BE RUDE TO ME!
Me: I'M NOT BEING RUDE, YOU'RE BEING RUDE, IGNORING ME AND THEN TRYING TO KICK ME OUT!
Mum: YOU STOP TALKING TO ME LIKE THAT OR YOU CAN FIND A NEW HOME!

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE

How can anyone not love trains? A train is a journey into the unknown, smelling of iron, snow, and diesel fuel. Great trains cross Siberia from the Urals to the Sea of Japan, carrying weathered people past sights both picturesque and desolate. A train is not merely a machine, it is also the residue of all its travels, the smoke of the kilometers it has burned in the measured rhythm of its wheels.
One cannot love the Motherland, and not love those weary wanderers on the greatest of her roads.

A wise Karl Pilkington once said, what the hell is the point of a journey whose only selling point is that it takes loads of time?

And if we approach this seriously, train travel costs less than air travel, and is more comfortable. Besides, in Russia at least, trains stop at a lot of places which have no airports, so sometimes there's not much choice. Plus, yes, it builds character.

I like snow, hate cold. Snow, however, makes up for the cold.

What I WOULD want would be warm snow. Or maybe lukewarm snow.

Our snow has practically already melted. Nothing left but wet ice. Lovely.

Poor, illegal, working conditions for resident physicians. Mistreatment. Verbal abuse.

Accounting is literally a repeat of a Gen. Chem II last year: a class I just cannot beat. No matter how hard I work (about 200% as hard as in all the other classes this year combined), I cannot prevent a low B or C in this class. I have done the tutoring, the note-taking, the asking of a teacher, the extra reading, the practice problems, and no matter what, in a week's time, I have forgotten everything learned last week and have to rote memorize it again. Rote memorization is not effective here.

College has been an awesomely humbling experience. After coasting through K-12 as an obnoxious know-it-all, learning that we fleshbags really are biologically limited kinda sucks. I will never be an engineer or an accountant or a chemist because the paycheck's not worth hacking it. I will take the GPA hit, fully understanding what it symbolizes.

The most frustrating feeling for an overachiever is inability to understand your own inability to understand. If that sounds confusing, it is.

Tomorrow, I have to go on a "field trip" all day so that I can learn the vital lesson that DOING DRUGS IS BAD. I know this. I am not going to do drugs, for a variety of reasons. However, I still have to go to the morgue and learn about what happens when you DO DRUGS, missing a day of school in the process.

Funnily enough, I'm currently in the middle of a project designed for two people that I've been working on by myself. It's a poster, so I can't bring it home without risking it getting damaged, and it's due Friday. I should be able to get an extension, but it's still pretty annoying.

Yep. Welcome to the rest of humanity, meat bag. College was my wake up call too.

FFS: I mostly do believe its in your approach or your mindset to these things that make them 'unable' or which deter you there. :3

I'm waiting to hit my wall in university.

I'm hoping the tension is worse than the actual wall or argalfraldaldal.

Unable is the wrong word. "Unable" here means ROI: if you put in 100hrs smart, diligent work on one project and get a poor result, and you put in 40hrs regular work on another project and get a great result then which is the smarter project to keep working on?

It's not approach or mindset making me worse at Accounting than most of the other students who put in far less work.

Yep. Welcome to the rest of humanity, meat bag. College was my wake up call too.

In some way, it's actually kind of comforting to know it's normal to be bad or okay at a lot of things and exceptionally, irrevocably bad at a select few.

I'm waiting to hit my wall in university.

I'm hoping the tension is worse than the actual wall or argalfraldaldal.

If you're already in university and you're still waiting, you're probably mentally fine for 99% of the things you're actually going to do in life.

[Descan]

No, I'm hopefully going in September.
