20141015 1:oo:oo.000 | the main problem is time
My computer clock keeps getting set to an incorrect
Time by means i AM unaware of whats going on
Plus there exists the drift in time of PDt ?/?
it looses about 1s/d While i gain 1
when i AM not being hacked
so with hack, back, &4word
its diFFicult to hit send/
I mean post at the proper Ms T
which is H=1 Board } Hopefully

ad 1466 THUS currently there eXists a 2H 8M 23S
TIME difference  between B & Me

I agree, Hirley. There is not enough time in the world.

I might get to go to research in Peru for the summer. The logistics are a little complicated (it's for Systems Science, which I am not getting a degree in and I have exactly zero elective credits), but I'm going to try to make it work anyway.

My SySc professor is also in the Psychology department, he may be able to make an argument for allowing it to apply to that degree.

hirley, maybe check your bios clock and see that your operating system is not resetting itself to match bios (or vice versa), i've had that happen.

unless you mean that you are drifting forward and backwards in time, which makes it hard for you to post sequentially.  In which case, whoa.

With Hirley0, I would guess that he means the latter.

ad 1629 Missed T=0 / slept in again  My guess was 2H 8M &<30
it is comming up on 1:23B aka about 3:31:31 = :00.0 sec Ha Ha

Wooo! congratulations!

Thanks! I'm not really due them yet, but hopefully it will come to fruition. Turns out that it also comes with a permaculture design certificate, which happens to mesh with some of my personal interests.

Procrastinated my ochem homework until the last possible minute, and now that I'm doing it it's much, MUCH easier than I anticipated.

Now I'm kicking myself because if I'd done it early like I should have, I could be doing my bio homework by now.

?31it is hard to accept how fouled around i have become
i forget to lock my door when i leave, & leave the key in the door arriving

I agree, Hirley. There is not enough time in the world.

THIS: is late. ^ Read Up anyway ^

My professor delayed the due date for a paper, now due today at 5pm, so she could catch up on our previous papers and send them all back so we could use them on this one. She hasn't yet. This is worth 20% of my grade and I haven't even started. I cannot begin to express my frustration, this is utterly unfair.

[hirley0]

y at 5pm, so she c c ?

Yes SUm' Canadian Club and 7 is am acceptable way
for word | like aye i & eye {never mind {{ not to worry
best bet at this H | should be that anYthing i suggest
should be disreguarded as my ability at anything at
this H is silly to say the least | i missed 3 = 1
so 4get.it 4:32:10 targeting 2:34:56 PDt } 4+8 =12 ==
43:30  & ? && my brain is a blank .

Procrastinated / kicking myself

It seems like if the whole point of delaying this paper was so that you could use previous feedback from other papers on it, it seems as if perhaps she should delay it further so she can actually give you your feedback.

Can you get started on the paper and then revise it according to feedback when you get your other papers back, so that at least the bulk of the writing/research/citations would be done?

I submitted a completed paper out of good faith, and she blast emailed us a massive apology that she's way too behind right now because of chairing a conference, and also working with a charity group out of Boston where she received a high honor last week. I'll ask her tomorrow during class if it's okay for us who feel that our work was subpar to have the chance of a re-write should our grades come back scary. She's actually extremely nice, but a hard grader. But I think circumstances being what they are that she will be lenient.

In other news, I'm taking this free online course through FutureLearn.com on Hadrian's Wall, and so far I'm enamored with the work that Newcastle University does on Hadrian's Wall. They have a pretty damn impressive PhD program for archaeology and history and their tuition is disgustingly reasonable in comparison to our schools here. I'm thinking that studying in England could very well be a possibility should I choose to go that far. I want to finish my MA first and see how the job front looks here, as well as see what the Navy wants to do with us first before committing to the doctorate, but that may not be a terrible option during the husband's next sea duty. I've chatted a bit with some of the students and faculty through the FutureLearn site, and they're slowing trying to convince me to come over.

Edit: They just dropped the bomb that there's guaranteed housing on campus for international graduate students.

Good, I hope she grades this one kindly or gives you a chance to revise.

I'm currently reviewing Mol bio slides in preparation for tomorrow's midterm. I feel like everyone else is much more stressed about it than I am, which makes me worried that I'm grossly overestimating my preparedness.
