Good for you, Atrias!
And Nia, I'm glad you've got distractions (though you didn't say whether they were the good or bad kind) and can make jokes. You'll do better next time.

I don't even like Rent very much anymore; I'm just jealous that I'm stuck here and they all have each other. Do you think that that kind of distance can make or break a friendship? I used to be pretty close to someone, but I got sick of being the only one who couldn't be at her social events (which were/are The Most Important Thing to her), so we sort of quit each other and sometimes I wonder if we would have grown apart anyway.
Chloe, I think I had both extreme ends of the spectrum today. It's been a roller-coaster day.
Atrias, can you offer any study tips to those of us who aren't good at testing?

Actually, no. I totally thought that I'd failed that test, I didn't study for it because it wasn't for an actual grade. My APs and SAT are next week and I am going to DIE.
Banal: my home computer died yesterday. *sigh*
*waves at DD*
Aww, Mel, that sucks! How far away?
There are a lot of other non-New Yorkers here too, and a lot of New Yorkers who didn't go for the lottery (like me - I decided to leave it to the true Rentheads), and of course, the majority of those who did go for the lottery won't get in. I know three or four people here on the boards who got tickets in advance, so that still leaves a lot of BWWers.
As for friends, I've had long-distance friendships with people from college for years. They have husbands and children and I don't, and sometimes I feel left out, but that's not their fault. It's my choice is to get over those feelings and not let them destroy my friendships.
I have no idea..she's my neighbor and a year younger and we're like sisters. Since we're in different schools this year I haven't talked to her since February and someone told me that she's moving, but I don't really know the details of it. I'm really sad.
Banal- I am so tired, my husband is sick and coughed and shivered all night with a fever. To top it off I think I am getting what he has. *cough*

I guess that makes sense, Chloe... but it wouldn't work in this scenario.
*angsts alone*
i came to work this morning. started feeling sick. drove home for an early lunch. pulled over to throw up on the way. got home. threw up again. slept for an hour. and now i'm back at work.
Did you make it out the car door, RobbO? The last time I got sick while driving -- I didn't. That was a fun cleanup job.

Nia, I understand how you feel about the Rent benefit. I genuinely do hope that everyone going has a great time, but it's hard not to feel a bit left out when I'm stuck in North Dakota for a few more months. I'm not as big of a Rent fan as many others here, but it's just the fact that others have even the opportunity to go while I'm stuck here that isn't the best feeling in the world. Even if I were to suggest flying there to see it, my parents would laugh in my face -- they think I'm too obsessed with Broadway as it is.
I don't think I could justify paying that kind of money, either, especially considering that I'm not really an extreme Rent fan, but deep down, there are conflicted feelings of wishing it were a bit cheaper and closer.
Don't let it get you down too much. I'm trying to have a positive attitude about it. Your time will come to have positive things happen to you.
that was my biggest fear, calvin, so even though i was five minutes from home. i pulled over, opened the door and bombs away!
I think I'm going to throw up.
I need to go shower and not freak out.
Is someone going to see a certain special show tonight?
Well, that's not why. Entirely. It's fine, I don't want to talk about it.
*pat pat* You tried.. someone told me that they know of 3 people planning on doing a certain illegal action tonight. So, no worries..we'll see it, eventually.
