wrq, wouldn't it be pointless, then?

My classes? Yeah, I said extremely nonpointless sarcastically.

I had a lousy morning so I figured its nice out, let me go down to the Seaport and dine al fresco. So I pick Red and sit down with my new book and a copy of amNew York and the bus boy comes over and dumps a full glass water in my lap.
Just missed the new book, killed the paper and drenched me.
They didn't offer me a drink or anything. I figured its only water. My quesadilla was good but then with three bites the same busboy came over and tried to grab my plate.

I think I strained my ankle. It's nothing new- it happens from time to time because I've had so many ankle injuries in the past- but it hasn't been this bad for a long time.
Bleh. Shorts and flip-flops + Ace bandage is not so cute.

I now have one of four ACE bandage clips left.
I'm so not prepared for this project, and I'm really nervous. I'm not prepared because I don't know HOW to be prepared, so I'm just making stuff up and winging it, basically. My professor wants me to call her, but I'm afraid to because she'll probably tell me I'm way off base, and I don't think she likes me anyway. I'm so nervous between the phone call and the presentation that it's kind of making me sick.
Edited to add that I should win a prize for leaving such incredibly awkward voicemails. oy.

Presentations should be banned, but sadly, that's unlikely to happen.
Think of it this way: Almost everyone hates presenting and thinks that they'll sound stupid, so even if you mess up, people will sympathize.

I hope so! Half of them were last week, and they were actually all really, really good. So I've tough acts to follow. And also, while I don't act myself, it makes me really uneasy to be depending on others to perform well for me.
By the way, last night, since the thread was moving so fast, it looked like you edited and then I edited but you didn't see my edit, and then I was away from the computer, so I wasn't ignoring you. I doubt it's that important, but pen ink tastes terrible and bitter. Don't ever chew your pens!

It's fine; I figured that since everyone was posting on top of each other, you just missed it. No offense taken.
Good luck.

Okay. 
And thanks.

I like your avatar. The Les Mis art has always been some of my favorite.
Random/banal: I got allergy shots and I am now really itchy. I just realized that I said I could make an interview during a review session for one of my exams. *headwall*

Well, if you keep the lampshades out of the way, you can at least keep her from going off-topic.
I would love to know if the Les Mis art is a real print or a computer-made graphic. I hope it's an actual printing block.

I will make sure no lampshades are present. 
She's got to improvise, though, and... she likes comedy. We'll see. I'm grateful, though; by doing this, she's pitching me an enormous favor.
I think it's old enough that it's likely not a computer graphic, no?
I just ate too many cookies.

Have you ever had an extremely pretentious, pseudo-intellectual person in any of your classes? I was in a philosophy class last year with a certain person, and he lived to contradict every single statement I made. This year, he's in my English class. My teacher was off-topic a bit and just joking around, and this boy raises his hand and lectures us on "his" theory regarding different social groups in Lord of the Flies and how they're symbolic of the mind's components (the superego, ego, and id -- which he, of course, pronounced incorrectly). At the end of the lecture, I basically told him congrats for reading a theory that's posted on nearly every SparkNotes-esque Lord of the Flies site. Our teacher proceeded to defend him, despite the fact that he basically upstaged the entire class.
Wow, that was a pointless vent, but it felt good to vent all the frustration I've had with this boy since last year.
Additionally, and more importantly, my teachers are apparently unaware of the fact that AP tests are coming up and assigning more and more projects and papers.
I'm so incredibly stressed out and apologize in advance for the threadjack. How was everyone else's day?

There's a kid like that in my history section; he's so pretentious that he just talks and talks and talks about his theories on everything in the world -- but by doing so, he ends up just spewing crap and digging himself into a huge ever-deepening hole, and looking like an idiot. He gives me a headache, though.
So yeah, I sympathize with that much, but I'm sorry your teacher took his side.

Exactly. Everyone in the classroom knows he's truly an idiot (except for the teacher, apparently), but on the other hand, everyone is too intimidated to call him out. I was seriously shaking with anger because I despise this kid so much. He manages to make every class I have with him miserable, mainly because I think he feels competition.

I'm in the computer lab printing out art history slides for my final. The only problem is, I can't find the information I need to go along with the slides (artist, title, date). Last semester they provided us with that information. I really need to start making flashcards today, but I can't if I don't know what I'm looking at.

I need to make art history flashcards too, Fantab. It's annoying that they haven't given you that info. Maybe they want you to look it up in the textbook?

I found them. They were hidden in this "notes" section on the bottom of the powerpoint.
