Why God? Why?

[martinemonster]

Okay, I have to dump some stuff on you guys now. I've recently managed to get something close to insomnia, something that happens quite often close to exams. Also, I just spent my last 5 dollars on a packet of cigarettes, even though I quit smoking and my fridge is basically empty (but hey, who doesn't love salmon fillets with salmon fillet for breakfast), and spent about 2 hours reading 10 pages from one of my books. Then, I panicked and decided I'd probably be one of those people who fail that exam (then I took another cigarette, and the feeling subsided).

All this was expected though, since it is the last two weeks of finals.

What was not expected however, was that we get our lecture assignments on Friday the 7th and not Monday the 10th. And I already told my family that I'd take the bus down to Arendal to visit them for my dad and brother's birthday. I mean, it's one thing to blow off reading the last two days before and exam, but to take a two day break during it is something quite different. I already bought my brother a great gift, and I really wanted to be there for the m since I haven't seen them in ages.

Then, to top it all off, it turns out that our application for money for the larp might be fucked for so many very boring reasons and I'll probably have to spend tomorrow, when I should have been studying for my other exam on Friday 7th, calling people and fixing things.

The world is winning this war, and I'm resenting it.

You write on a laptop anyhow, so you can probably convince yourself that the hours of down time on the bus can be spent productively. Alternately you can convince them to celebrate a week later. I can't remember the last time I celebrated my birthday within a month of it's actual date. (Actually, I don't think I've celebrated at all the last two or three years, but that's besides the point.)
Also, salmon is healthy and contains fatty acids and salmony goodness. No one would have worshipped it as a god if it hadn't been good for you, remember.
Oh, and with the world being several weight classes above you, it's only natural that it would win; aim for a moral victory instead, by getting points for underdoggyness.

Moral victories are for loosers. Aim for the gonads instead.

Hmmm...underdoggyness. Does that mean that the more I lose, the cooler I get?

[45hasle.livejournal.com]

It pretty much means that everyone will be rooting for you as you lose, yes. You still lose though, so it's not all it's cracked up to be...

Crap. Oh well, I'll take what I can get.

*trying to be annoyingly positive in the middle of these stressful times*

a) I spent the rest of my money on snuff. I did have a bit of pasta and some frozen old salmon files, and when I came home i was all hungry.. so.. pasta with peanuts and boiled salmon filés sounds horrible, but tastes really good. No money teaches people to love foods they never thought they'd eat.

b) It's awfully nice of them to give us the tasks in advance. It gives us two more days to write the thing. Six days instead of four. I'll be in fredrikstad from thursday, so I decided to just.. bring all my curriculum to fredrikstad and write there. Being back home and just seeing the family for breakfast and dinner soulds like a plan. Heck. I can even make them wake me up in the morning, thus giving me that sorely needed structure.

a) that is totally awesome! *laughs* Making me feel better you!

b) the main problem is the 4 hour bus ride either way, since I can't work on buses. :(

oh... hm. I cna't come up with something annoyingly positive to say about that...

perhaps you could go down there earlier, and make yout parents drive you to arendal?

Is out of ideas :P

good luck,

It's all a punishment for going out and having fun on Friday when some of your less financially privileged friends had to stay in. The cigarettes will accelerate the decomposing of your lungs, and you will have to convert to Christianity an submit to the administrations of a faith healer to get better. We all know faith healers have about as good a track record as homeopaths, so you will die, but at least you will die as a faithful Christian, and thus go to heaven afterwards. Which will be boring. Crap music, only boring do-gooders around you, no exciting substances to abuse, and anything but the missionary position will be prohibited. If you break any rules, you won't be mercifully thrown down to the metal music and orgies, no, you'll be awarded with self realization classes consisting of sitting very still in sensory deprivation environments and comtemplating your mistakes, how to avoid doing them in the future, and how this will better yourself.

I will never ever submit to Christianity. After all, I hate watering pot plants, and talking to God. So there!

I'll just have to forgo that faith healer and die painfully and slowly and go to hell. Were there will be awesome partying and orgies. (And pain and suffering, but I guess if you're cool enough you can kick someone else instead of being kicked. That's my plan anyway)

[sortkatt.livejournal.com]

No one said you had to die painfully. Avoiding pain is the reason God invented opiates.

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

Mmmm...opiates. Lovely lovely opiates!

Om det får deg til å føle deg bedre, kan jeg påpeke at du ikke er alene om å tape overfor verden. Min bachelorgrad blir ike ferdig før ett helt føkkings år etter normert tid, fordi man plutselig har bestemt seg for å avlyse undervisningen av et av de tre siste obligatoriske emnene jeg har igjen. Woo!

Eh. Ja. Det handlet om meg. Men det er klart eksamen går bra! Man trenger firetimers pauser hver vei uansett. Om man ikke trenger det blir man rett og slett hjemme.

Tudelu.

Shit! Det suger! (Se, selv om det handler om deg, føler jeg meg litt bedre over ikke å være alene i UiOs sugene verden...)

[sortkatt.livejournal.com]

Kjære deg, hvemdunåer, ikke sutre over tapte bachelorer (:eller, mitt liv suger mer enn ditt(eller: yay, en sutrekonkuranse! Fritt for å vinne))
Min bachelor, som ville blitt en fri en, er heller ikke ferdig. Dette til tross for 7 år med studier, seks av dem med studielån, deriblandt litt attåt for skolepengelån. Normert tid meg både her og der. Og selv om problemet hadde vært mindre om jeg hadde vært flittigere hadde det nok ikke vært ikke-eksisterende. *hulk*

Poenget er at det er ikke verden som sparker etter oss, det er kapitalen. Dreper vi den vil alt bli bra.

Sant. Jeg vinner ikke sutrefesten. Så hyggelig! :)
