For the things that never make any sense! XD

I think it's safe to say that Tony might be wasted.

A huge framed poster over my bed fell last night.
Good thing I heard it giving way in my sleep and got up to catch it
or it would have landed on my head!!

Like a ninja!

The silver and white I chose to reroot a Ghoulia are really close together in tone, part of me wants to say I should have gone for the next shade darker but the other part says the subtle differences will be beautiful. Meanwhile it leaves the white haired one Cotton pondering if she wants a change, but Moonlight haired Kierra has strait hair and Cotton has wavy.

First of the auction doll lots I won came in. The one that had Sailor Neptune (original outfit MIA). Turns out majority of the cloths that came on the dolls I like so they are in the wash and tomorrow i'll be cleaning up the dolls and restoring hair.

Must do this to House...

This is beautiful.

Sooo, it turns out I'm not registered for classes this fall, but the school sent me my code so I can register without meeting an adviser. I can't help but feel this is a terrible, terrible mistake....

haha... if you end up with a degree in underwater basket weaving we'll know why. :-p


On a quasi-serious note though, I'll add a fun rant. If you already know your degree's list of required classes you really don't need an adviser. I think it's just a formality added because too many kids missed too many classes that delayed their graduation a year and they whined about it and blamed someone else for their misfortune. It's funny to hear all of the profs complain about how much they hate their students. (not really hate... it's more of a hair-pulling frustration that lends itself toward hallway avoidance because they just KNOW the student is going to ask another idiotic question that could easily be answered by cracking a book.) "There's a test today?" Yes, read your syllabus. "We have to write a paper?" Yes, read your syllabus. "What do you mean that's due today?" OMG READ THE F'ING SYLLABUS!!! *teacher hides in lab until they're gone*

Since they don't read their catalogs or know what's going on they just show up with blank expressions and expect their professors to do it all for them. Lots of kids just show up and hand their blank papers to the professors with no planning or foresight. "uuhh... like, what do I take?" So the professor has to ask really basic questions that they should have already figured out for themselves so they can tell them what their options are. "No, your credits from that unaccredited joke of a school won't transfer. Yes, you'll have to take remedial math. No, you can't take 300 level chem lab because it fits your schedule better, you haven't met the prerequisites for 1 and 2." They want to be spoon-fed and it drives their teaches mad. I get to hear all the fun (and sad) stories.

No kidding. I never had an adviser that was actually in my department or knew anything about my program! I checked my book, checked the schedule, picked out my own classes and would walk into the meeting with my adviser with a list of what I was going to take. He would go through the formality of asking a couple questions as to my courses, and then signed off on the sheet.

I tell my students before they head off for college, to keep track of their OWN requirements and credit hours, because the chances of getting a good knowledgeable adviser is slim. My other piece of wisdom... don't let your parents pick your classes. I saw a guy fail out his freshmen year because his mother came back over January break and redid his schedule, and the registrar LET HER?!!! He didn't have the prerequisites and failed out.

My husband is a manager in the facility department and handles things safety and security - don't get him started about college kids. Toward the end of last school year they had 3 separate microwave related fires because the young darlings didn't know how to use them. In one instance he actually saw a female student blithely typing on her laptop while smoke poured out her window .... They also have to replace washers and dryers every year because of the same thing (no, your size 14 sneakers can't go in the washer!). He swears that incoming students should have to take classes on the care and use of home appliances.

I've cleaned my sneakers in my washing machine lots of times LOL. It actually works pretty well . And they sure aren't small. I'm a European size 45 which is the biggest male size sold in normal shoe stores

I just spent a couple hour or so cleaning and restoring Barbies. Things I wish I knew as a kid: the hair CAN be fixed.
