ARGH: Had the charity auction update almost finished and noticed I completed it using an older version where a few things were in the wrong categories. Going to make a few posts, eat breakfast, take a shower and start over.

:? Just found out my online class has three proctored exams, I have to schedule each one a week before taking it. I think "online class" should be an all-or-nothing description. If I have to show up to the university, it's not "online".

:evil: I've had it with these motherfucking flaky ass craigslist sellers. I found a great deal (or so I thought) on CL and emailed the guy. He said he still had the item, we set up a location to meet (just the city, no specific spot yet) and agreed on a day (tomorrow). I emailed the guy telling him what time I'm available to meet and..... nothing. Dude responded to my other emails within minutes (using a SmartPhone), but this one he's just ignoring. I don't know if it's worth it trying to contact him again or just throwing in the towel.

That's a good thing when you think about it as you can tell an employer your exams were proctored. On-line degrees are about useless.

I hear ya, but this isn't an "online degree", it's a regular degree program from one of the Maine State universities. Some of the classes happen to have online sections, which is pretty standard these days and useful for me as I work until 3:30 PM. There's absolutely nothing on the college transcripts to indicate which classes were taken online and which were taken in person.

:( : I haven't worked out for a week, my sleep cycle is wacked, and I've lost four pounds I wasn't wanting to drop. Flu season FTL.

:) I'm starting to like "Let's Have a Kiki" by Scissor Sisters.

:D My sleep cycle's getting back to normal. Last night was 8-5:30, so tonight I'm gonna try to get to bet around 10pm.

:cry: Don't have the means of preordering DMC: Devil May Cry, which means I'll have to hope that the Orb Harvester becomes a normal DLC item.

:?: Thinking about making Nutella brownies, though no matter how the rest of my family thinks of them (like or hate 'em, the brownies I mean), will be a double-edged victory (like = less for me, but I'll probably get to make them more often; hate = more for me, but if I don't like them who'll eat them?).

:D far cry 3, I think I've seen the face of god. I don't think I have ever had this much unbridled fun while playing a video game before.

Frown: I still don't get why people think that game is amazing. It's good, but, I just didn't get sucked in like everybody else. :(

Smile: A Miata hardtop may be mine, I'll know this afternoon.

It's cool people have different tastes, everyone seemed to love skirym but I didn't get it. It seemed unbearably boring. I tried so hard to get sucked into that one.
