So, I had a mostly bad last…9 days? Last Thursday, not the one that was yesterday was a Quantitative Analysis test. Friday was Advanced Organic presentation, and then I had the weekend, which was just working, you know, not too terrible? Get up Monday, go to my class, find out I bombed my presentation. Go to work. Tuesday, do the take-home part of my Quant test from the previous week. Go to work, but when I go to come home, realize that my car won’t start. I still don’t know what’s wrong with it. Starter? It doesn’t matter, because I can’t afford to fix it until my next payday anyways. Wednesday, walk to school, and I get to be really let-down on the National Day of Silence because noone else takes it seriously and end up breaking their silence 3 hours early. Oh well. Don’t have to work this day, but I did have to spend until 11pm doing homework, after starting it at 7. Thursday, walk to class again, take the quant mini-test (Yes, he hates us… he went slowly earlier in the semester, so now we’re compressing things ridiculously.) Play a bunch of DDR on the quad because it’s spring fling week, and think I’m going to die… until I realize that still have to ride my friend’s bike to work due to the car being broken issue. Handlebars disengage from the wheel when I’m about ten blocks away from being home, I hit the ground, break the bike’s light, and I walk the bike with the wobbly wheel back to the apartment. I’m greeted by an asleep boyfriend, who, instead of picking me up from work, slept, and instead of sympathizing with the fact that I was bleeding said “hurry up and come to bed.” You know, this is actually really boring even for me to read back through, and I’m sorry to have bothered you guys with it. I think I just wanted to vent? Anyway, have fun reading it? ---

> [@chaoticbear](#): > > Anyway, have fun reading it? Thanks for asking, but no, not really. I hate to break it to you, but _damn_, you need to work on your writing style. Sorry, just felt the need to contribute to your week from Heck. I hope things turn out better next week. ---

I’ve had a fever of over 100 for the past week (not including today), so yeah, it was the week from H-E-Double Hockeysticks. That is to say, it was quite a muthafucka. I hear ya. Hope you recover soon, man. ---

I hear ya. I can’t compete with the overall crappiness of your week, but the kids in my classes have been all _over_ the freakin’ place with their brains. Trying to get a bunch of hispanic teenagers to focus on grammar/literature has been awful this week. I sincerely hope your weekend is way better than the previous several days. Have a drink and relax (or, on preview, if you don’t drink, do something fun!). Good luck with the schoolishness. ---

I hear ya. Hope you recover soon, man. I love how you had to say H-E-Double Hockeysticks but then go to say muthafucka. Intentional? Funny to me whether it is or not ---

On a positive note, we tried jumpstarting my car last night, and it wouldn’t go. Diagnosis: starter. Crap, that’s a negative note. Oh, and I also found out that my promotion isn’t going to be effective for another 2 weeks, because they don’t want to change my pay code in the middle of a pay period.
