I really should not have taken this online writing class.

1. The class software SUCKS ASS AND IS CONFUSING
2. It's down all the fucking time
3. The instructor is making up for all the class time we aren't getting by making us do stupid fill-in-the-blank citation exercises
4. There seems to be more actual homework than there is for any of my other classes
5. I do not have time for this shit.

Oh also,

I decided to take the class because I don't have any classes on Friday. I figured that would give me a whole day to do the reading and assignments.The class started on a Monday and new assignments are posted every Sunday.

Guess when assignments are due?

The Thursday of the week they're posted. It's complete bullshit.

Yeah, I noticed in college that writing profs seem to have some kind of inferiority complex, and make things deliberately harder, which of course makes people hate their classes.

They all secretly wish they were teaching differential equations, I think.

Reminder to self:  You're not 22 anymore.  Wait til heart rate goes ALL THE WAY BACK DOWN after a workout before lighting up.  Saves on the whole "fall down on your face" thing.

I wish they were teaching differential equations, too. This shit is making me hate writing. Also, you know what the theme of the class is? Food politics. It's all shit that I agree with, but I agree with it because I've already researched it, and that makes this so interminably boring I can hardly stand it.

I hate this class.

Uhhh yeah, that'll get ya.  :lol:

Smoking fucks my lungs so hard these days that if I succumb to temptation and have a cigarette one night when I'm out, I'll cough and wheeze for the next two days. It sucks. But, it's probably just as well, because it's a good deterrent.

They really fuck up hangovers too. Instead of that sluggish sort of I don't want to move hangover, you get the nauseous everything smells horrible type. It's why I don't inhale anymore. You still get the need to smoke, but it keeps all of the cruddy away.

Side note, I can't headbang anymore. I still do it but I feel terrible the next day.

I got an e-cigarette... pretty good approximation of smoking, IMO.

Headbanging is terrible for your brain... might as well huff glue.

This apartment is making me sick, I think.
There is a measurable difference going from inside to outside. Like the air is heavy as soon as you walk in.
Don't know how much of it is the fact that we seldom are able to have the windows open. Or the fact this has been one of my slow weeks and there is a high stack of dishes on the counter.

I just know that I'd rather be outside right now, even if it's already getting warm.

I had shitty pain in my left hip for years, after getting hit by a car when I was a teenager.

I don't recommend this as a cure, but having babies fixed it. Something about all my ligaments loosening up.

Do you have a chiropractor?

Can you go outside? Might be a good time for a walk.

Christ, I feel awful.  There is nothing quite like the first 2 weeks back at the gym.
