Random Rants XV: Like a Fine Whine

[Peck of Arabia]

Well exam are over- and this year I've had none of that post exam jubilation- none whatsoever!

I'm currently bored out my mind- searching fruitlessly for summer jobs; oh and trying to improve my memory using that "tricks of the mind" book by Derren Brown...

oh it's a lovely day outside, but because I'm the only one who's finished exams in our flat, I'd probably have to enjoy it on my own- and I can't go outside and sunbathe on my own- a) me and sunshine don't get along and b) I'd look like a weirdo, for sure!

So it's a lovely day, I'm at leisure to do anything that takes my fancy, and I'm stuck here complaining on a forum... ne'er mind, maybe in another life...

I need a girlfriend

Well, my sister is single.

My favorite local amusement park which used to have famously free admission now charges for admission.

the beatles are no more

Who are they

Spoiler :

Nah,

They went downhill since Paul died anyway.

I agree, I only listen to the hippy-era songs they made, back in the 60s/70s.

Paul never died. He was on Colbert Report a few weeks ago

That was just some random guy who looks and sounds exactly like Paul McCartney. The real one is dead. The signs are all around you, but the man is telling you not to look at them.

Where have you been for the past 40 years?

Or if you're referring to something else that I don't know about, ignore this post.

Well, my sister is single.

What she look like?

WTH, steam was just using 100% of all three cores of my cpu doing nothing.

 

[salty mud]

I too have noticed that Steam is a MAJOR resource hog at times, seemingly doing nothing. Can this be rectified? It is incredibly annoying for my system to lag until I close Steam.

 

[Ulyaoth]

well my computer wasn't lagging or anything, but it was heating my cpu up a bit, was getting to 43C. I also noticed that turning my case fans from low to high only drops about 2-3C on my cpu temps(the 43C was on low speed) and doesn't affect my gpu at all. Luckily all my stuff is cool anyway for the moment.

Quebec's highways are in poor condition.

Also, Quebec near the US border looks like New Jersey.

Gonna fail an exam tommorow...

Doesn't matter though, because then its summer holidays and I won't have to worry about it 'till the end of August. Yeah!

B- in PHY 335 (Electronics Lab)

Granted it's better than I expected it to be, but I was incredibly stupid and handed one lab in late and another lab super late; handing the latter in was necessary to pass the course, but I still got a 0 out of 10 on it. I must have aced the final in order for me to not get a C or something. I really need to learn to not procrastinate. It's destroying me.

I always shut it off when I'm not playing a game or something.

Why must all substitute teachers have incomprehensible accents?

Yeah... Try having substitutes that DON'T FOLLOW THE TEACHER'S INSTRUCTIONS.

One of the substitutes lost our quizzes, though. Which could be good or bad.

 

[Bigfoot3814]

Most teachers instruct subs to give work. I'm glad when they don't follow instructions. Last sub I had let us chill out and watch the Maury Povitch show, probably the least mentally stimulating activity known to man. Although it did leave me with this unforgettable quote:

"Throughout our relationship, you was a promiscuous ho."
