It's enough to get done what other people tell me finish, but it doesn't let me start on what I want to do.

I have an exam tomorrow, and another one the day after.

They notified me about the tomorrow's exam only today ("Oh, yeah, btw the exam is tomorrow"). I asked about the date like a week ago >_>

Good thing I studied for it earlier, I only need to go through the material once or twice. Besides the material is quite easy.
But now I have less time to study for the other exam, which is way harder. >_<

EDIT: I also had to ask for the location of the tomorrows exam. (They just said tomorrow at 10 am in the email.) And it took them half a day to answer that. Is it really so hard to give all the relevant info at once?

That sounds bad; hope you make it though.

I am sure you'll get through with these exams, Isobel. Study for the harder one if you think the other one will be easy for you.

Anyway, I have three rants today. Oh joy!

1
The Syria thing is just pissing me off to no ends. This should have been resolved over a year ago by now. What's the difference between regular warfare and chemical warfare if the end results remain the same ala death and suffering???

2
I hate when there are two potential employment/internship opportunities sitting right on my lap and I still have yet to do a try-out at either one of them because of damn scheduling conflicts. That's all when I also have the other internship going on. Three jobs in which I have to eliminate one sometime soon so I can keep the other two.

FUCKING bees. Or rather hornets. They put someone I personally knew in a hospital after a rather serious shock after getting stung 4 times. He nearly died too, but he's okay now. I used to be scared and wary of bees (or rather hornets), but now I'm just pissed and angry at them.

That's the end of my trilogy rants. Thank you

Well...a good bit. The fact that it's now an official war crime. But what pisses me off is how the major governments around the world respond.
Let me see. TRUE FACT: The American Government* launches a new war (on average) every 3 and a half years. Gulf War 1 and Two, Afghanistan, Iraq etc.
The problem is, there is no real answer. There are two options, the bad one and the bad (but a little worse) one.
So really, even if the US does it all without armed forces, it's not a victory. No-one wins this time.

I got stung by a bee once, but that was my fault...I accidentally ran into it.
It's the wasps here I look out for.

That's the end of my trilogy rants. Thank you

Zur velcome.


*Note I said American GovernmentNothing about the people. Perfectly nice citizens, many Americans are.
My turn for a rant. We had our annual exchange with our sister school, but my host last year's brother wasn't there... )

1) About differences: Chemical warfare causes pollution that can affect ground, water and air.
About Siria: Its a civil war, and using weapons on your own poblation is really bad.
About Intervention: Some agree, others not. What bothers me is the fact that the US wants to put order to the world when actually, it doesn't ended to put order in its territory. The US is the head of the UN, and if all the countries start to obey all the rules of UN, then they will be like the US. Is easy for heterogenial countries (America and western Europe), but it unfair for homogenical ones (Central, Eastern and Northen Europe, Africa, Asia and Insular Oceania). Its really hard to put order in a heterogenial country because its cultural and social structure is like a room with a Karma Portal. I'm don't saying that tolerance is something imposible, because there is democracy anyways.

2) Having trouble finding a job?
I learned how the get one. But not how to choose?
BTW, I have a strategical plan for my objetives, and there is a detour, I don't want to take it, but its the unique option.

3) One day a bee attacked me, stabbed its needle in the smallest finger of my feet, and nothing happened. At least nothing bad happened to me, except when I fail on 2 meters of stairs or when I get shocked by 380 volts.

I never was stung by bees/hornets. Maybe because I always run away from them, since I heard they can stung and you may die...

except when I fail on 2 meters of stairs or when I get shocked by 380 volts.

wat?

Hmm. I think I only got 3/5 questions right on today's exam. I hope that's enough to pass. :/

ISO - Hope that's enough. Was that exam the easy one or the hard one as you mentioned before?

The way I see is this: Guns cause death and suffering. Chemical warfare cause death and suffering. What's the difference beside obvious pollution scenario? We turn our backs when they use guns and bombs on each other, yet we get our asses in the knot when we find evidences of chemical warfare? I know the civil war in Syria is complicated as fuck, but this should have been resolved more than a year ago. USA is not the only country to be blamed as many other countries are to be blamed just as equally.

I should have been more specific Its not that I have to choose. It just that I WANT to have this potential employment (with pay!) at a printing company badly that I am willing to give it a try-out WITHOUT having it interfere with one of internships that I am having right now. If I have to choose, I would pick the job with wages. The other internship I have is the back-up in case that didn't works out.

SUBLEVEL, he was talking about how he had far worst injuries comparing to getting stung by a bee/hornet/wasp. I had far worst injuries too with two cases of broken left arm when I was younger, a bad case of bleeding nose, falling down hard while trying to make a tight turn when biking, etc. What I saw happened to this guy I personally know has to rank among his worst ever. He nearly died, too. I am just glad that he made it out all right.

EDIT: Oh I got another rant! I am trying to purchase Borderlands 2 Season Pass at a sale on GreenManGaming.com, but their order system just keep fucking up. This is just pissing me off as I can't find this good of a sale for that product in a while.

Sad to hear that. :(

Good I never had any injuries.
