Well, it was either evil, or incredibly girly, and you know how girly I can be.

Well, they definitely slurp. But, maybe we can get some of those grasshoppers exiled from Finland. They're pretty hopping mad.

I think if I ever had the chance to go back in time, I'd want to bring along a giant can of insect spray! I would be almost guaranteed of sainthood, quite possibly even goddess status! :smile:

I thought you already had goddess status, there just wasn't enough room to put the banner under your name. :approve:

:blushing: :shy: Aww, shucks...usually that sort of comment would embarrass me into silence, but, for the good of the thread, I couldn't let it happen. I demand this thread be thrown to the volcano as a sacrifice! :smile:

Oh well, I didn't think it would work, but it was worth a try. I think I need to tell more tales of my computer malfunctions and boring days sitting at a desk. That seemed to at least stun the thread for a while.

I found an update to download that fixed my calendar today. Now I can synchronize my calendars again! :biggrin:

Hmmm, oh, the supplies I've been waiting for finally arrived today, so I was back in the lab again and will be the rest of the week! Woo hoo! No more being chained to a desk all day (I'm a miserable person when I have nothing to do but sit at a desk and write...though it did give me a lot of time to spend on PF).

Have I bored the thread back into a coma yet?

It seems odd to me that people have finals now. I've usually taught (and went to school at) places on a semester system where finals are at the end of each semester, just before the winter break (December) and just before the summer break (May). This explains why so many students can go off and play during spring break. For me, it was always smack dab in the middle of the semester, with plenty of assignments due when we returned.
 
  • #1,217
Finals week already? My finals are the last week of april, or the first week of may.

I'm on quarter system. Franz might be, too.

The university here is a quarter system. I've been here a bit over 3 years and have yet to have a clue when quarters start and end (I don't have enough teaching responsibility to need to worry about exam schedules), especially when they call it quarters, but the academic year is really divided into only 3 quarters (I never counted summer since that's a break for most students). They should be called thirds.

On the other hand, the summer quarter here is about the same length as each of the other quarters, while the summer session at my undergraduate college was about the same length (end of May through end of August), but divided into two semesters, and each semester covered the same material covered in a normal semester (in other words, same material in about half the time).

I've been taking classes at three different schools simultaneously this winter. One class was at a semester-system school and two are at quarter-system schools. The quarter system schools have their finals about a week apart thankfully, and the other class has already wrapped, but it has been very hard to keep up with three different schedules.

Finals suck. I'm very stressed. Very tired. Plagued with awful tummy aches for two days. They wake me up in the middle of the night so not sleeping good. :frown:

I'd really like a nap now. No one's really using this thread for anything, not really, anyway - so maybe I will just curl up here and sleep for awhile. I just wish there weren't so many spiders around and Artman would quit making all that racket shooting th-- :zzz:

You made a good sweeping out yesterday, Moonbear. It is less than 80 spiders left today..:approve:
 
  • #1,223
I hope we got all the eggs too. :bugeye:
 
  • #1,224
Unfortunately, over 30 eggs have hatched since last time..
 
  • #1,225
That's what I was afraid of. There always seem to be eggs that hatch more spiders.
 
  • #1,226
And now, about 20 have gone off (slurping together and making new eggs, I suppose..)

What, and take her eye off the thread? :biggrin: She does like batting them around with her paw though. :rolleyes:
 
  • #1,235
Dang, I was hoping you would tell her to get the spiders so I could get the thread. :cry:
 
  • #1,236
She's a very clever kitty. She wouldn't fall for such an easy ruse.

mattmns, isn't it past your bedtime yet?

*starts humming Brahm's lullaby* :zzz:
 
  • #1,241
Yeah it is almost time for my bedtime. I usually go to bed at about 8 on mw, and 11-12 every other day. Darn school!
 
  • #1,242
In bed by 8?! That's a bit early. What are you, old or something? :biggrin:

No MB, I like to get a solid 8hrs of sleep before school. I have 5 straight classes on tuesday/thursday starting at 7:30am. I would not be able to last the day if I only got a few hours of sleep.
 
  • #1,246
^wow, I sound really cranky there lol. Guess I really need to get to bed :smile:
 
  • #1,247
I couldn't fall asleep at 8 pm if I tried! I'd just be lying in bed tossing and turning for the next 4 hours (I almost never fall asleep before midnight unless I'm sick).
 
  • #1,248
time stamp 4:48 AM EST (sleep is for the weak)
 
  • #1,249
4:36 am right here
 
  • #1,250
No wonder you had to go to sleep so early if you're awake by 4:30! Do you usually need 3 hours to get ready for a 7:30 class? :bugeye:
