I don't know, I'm a retail clerk for a service/repair place, and I can understand why it takes awhile to get things done, but I can also understand why customers would be upset. So, I don't know...

Say good-bye to freedom
And fare-thee-well my time
For I have papers longing to be written
And books that demand my eyes
"Do this and this and this and that,
And in your spare time, start these."
Spare time? Is that like a spare tire?
Can I pull it out of my trunk and get
An extra hundred hours out of it?
Forget a hundred. I'll take one
to use for sleep.

Take it easy. It's a rough amount of work, but if you're in it for the right reasons (that is you want to do what you're studying) it'll pay off immensly. Imminsely? My spelling has gone to s**t.

Immensely!
And I concur. Whenever you wanna do something for yourself things go easier, and go by faster; whether it's sports, games, work, school, whatever. And even if the road to a goal is rough, when you reach that goal it feels more satisfying and more fulfilling.
My rant for the night: the media and the parents who insist on making/buying skimpy outfits for little girls. I just don't understand the logic behind it. I see little 12 year olds, or younger kids, walking around in short mini-skirts and knee-high leather boots. Faces full of make up. It's disgusting, really. And the parents aren't necessarily the stereotypical and obviously bad parents; they're the parents who might spoil their kids, or just don't mind or whatever. These would be the same parents who'll get upset when their kids end up growing up wrong -_- And the media doesn't help either. They promote things like Bratz, or Barbie, in advertisements of them wearing skimpy outfits/bikinis, thinking about boys and shopping and spending so much money. If ever I get a daughter those are not the qualities I'd want to instill into her.

Not really a rant, but I think this belongs here better than anywhere else.
I just went to see my school's production of the play, "Two Rooms." It is about an American scholar who was kidnapped in Beirut during the spate of hostage-taking that happened in the 1980's, and his devoted wife who, after failing miserably to get any action taken by any government, cleared out one room in their house to try to mimic, as closely as she could, the conditions that Michael was going through. It switches back and forth between these two rooms and these two people; Michael, as he tries coping with the torture he is subjected to, the beatings, the continual blindfold and handcuffs, the separation from his wife, and Lainy, as she is visited by both a member of the government, who is trying to keep her quiet, and a member of the press, who is trying to get her to speak out. It presents a very powerful statement. It answers no questions, takes no sides, but one cannot just leave the theater and go on with normal life afterwards; some contemplation is demanded - one can't simply laugh this off. One of the pictures shown during the intermission was that of a young boy - he couldn't have been older than ten. His fingers still had the chubbiness of childhood as they clutched an AK-47, a white sash tied around his head declaring him a soldier. Ten. A baby, with a gun, doing a man's work. Ye gods, what have we come to? And what sort of government cares so little for her own citizens that it would let three years pass before making any action towards those held hostage whatsoever?
A very powerful play, indeed. Highly recommended, if you ever get the chance to see it. A real thinker.

Any idea why, Liz?
And my rant: my vampiric cat who sleeps all day and is up all night and insists on keeping me up as well! I know I don't have good sleeping habits already, so I need all the sleep I can get, but he won't let me! -_-

GR- that sounds very powerful.
Liz - I hope that was just a momentary feeling.
Ethan - Lock him out of your room.

Can't. He'll just camp outside and meow and make noise and wake up the whole house (not to mention our grumpy upstairs neighbors -_-)
