E-mail the department head before you go to bed tonight. Problem will be resolved before you get out of class tomorrow.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Emailed my TA already. I'm going to make sure he's not somehow responsible for this before I do that. I like him and don't want to get him in trouble. Our professor just reads the publisher supplied slides that go with the book and derps around with experiment demos that fail more than half the time. He NEVER responds to the TAs' emails (much less any of ours). My TA explains things to us, does 1 on 1 study sessions, gives us more time to turn in assignments if we need it, helps on the HW, ect.

Ticked: My chemistry teacher has been behind and has not posted many of our grades online until today. EVERYTHING is wrong. It says I got a 70 on the first test when I got a 90. It says that I got Ds on most of the homeworks while I got almost all A's. Things are listed twice, not scored correctly, ect ect. I have the second test this week, the final test next week, and very little time to deal with this bullcrap. Had he been posting this stuff earlier like he said he would (over and over again) I could have dealt with this so much earlier. I am so freaking pissed.
HS? College? Stuff like that with your evidence can be corrected. Been there, done that. Still a pain in the ass though~ Sorry.
College. I know it can be corrected, but it will take time and he's REALLY bad at getting around to that sort of thing. I've been prodding for weeks about when he'll get the corrected test scores up (he had a bad question that he decided to accept other answers for) and he didn't do it until today. Except now my score is 20 points lower than it should be.
If it's college, you are paying his salary. Tell him that he will get your grades correct, or he is in trouble.

Smile: Starting to get closer to the bottom of my pile of work.

Ticked: This news of some serious sickos is turning my stomach and making me see red.

Well at least we caught a percentage of these sick fuckers. Hopefully this will lead to more arrests. But any human trafficking always pisses me off.

Smile: I'll have my own booth at a up and coming convention. This is my first time holding down a booth at a con, so I'm very excited about the potential sales and meeting my customers. I also completed my first large order with Amazon, so it's been an incredible week. If the con goes well (which it will) I'll be able to have more similar opportunities. Plus, it doesn't hurt that I'm really really really good looking.

That is horrifically disgusting beyond belief.

Death would be too good for these sick motherfuckers.

Even other criminals look down on child molesters. They are going to be in for a rough time in jail and I wouldn't expect them to last long.

summer school ended last thursday. i wasn't doing too good in algebra 2. i think im getting a D. i took a math placement test yesterday and today got placed in math 130 (algebra 2) again. right now i am signed up for college (transferable) math finite in the fall i signed up for this at the start of summer school, thinking that i would pass math 130. my teacher hasn't posted math 130 grades yet and there are no open algebra 2 classes.

fuck my life, if i don't get the math class i need in fall and spring i'll have to take another semester in the summer or next fall. fuck.

IMO, the death penalty needs to be an available sentence for more crimes.
