Semper Shitpost Ubique

I met with the department people and Archaeology labs are Chem at around the 2000 level. I've stuck to the textual and language stream so I'm nervous but it'd be cool to learn some science.

I made both Track and Rowing. I think I might have built them up in my head, because tryouts weren't that bad. It turns out that the fees and commitment are the biggest hurdles. My schedule went from being mostly empty to pretty full. It's good though, I appreciate both the help here and in the fitness thread.

How is this semester starting out for everyone else?

Whoever came up with the 'leggings as pants' trend, the 'crochet booty-shorts' trend and the 'shirt with armholes that go all the way to the waistband with only bra underneath' trend, they all deserve a medal of some sort. I'd like to thank them for their service.

I saw two of those. It's like those Mexican blankets you always see bandititos wear except white and cotton. Side boob poncho or whatever.

I don't. They snap crackle and pop whenever I get up from a squat. Is there anything I can do about it?

For some reason I thought it was just me.

I don't know if there's much you can do besides cling-wrapping ice packs to your joints if they get too sore. Drink more milk? You're better off getting advice from a sports doc or trainer than me. My knees and ankles are like that, but at least now I don't have keep beating them up on a daily basis.

Is this the kind of thing worth mentioning to the VA?

e: if there's an injury/disability/benefits thread I can take it there. They've been good about covering school, and I hear they're good with sudden, dramatic injuries but I never considered the hearing loss or knees because there's no one incident to point to.

ee: on a more positive note yoga butts are great, but the women's crew outfits take it to the next level.

Guys, I thought going to school at 33 would be weird, but its actually good and cool because I'm not a retarded 18 year old who can't figure poo poo out and is late and wasting their money and failing. Like when I was 18.

School is easy as gently caress as long as you've got your poo poo half way sorted out. I'm moderately retarded and looked at as a mentor type figure, which to me is somewhat horrifying.

Speaking of which, class tomorrow should be fun. The week ended with the class mongoloid, after telling us that we're all poo poo and he was the greatest, failed his solidworks cert test. Not only failed it, failed to get an answer to the very first question after 3 hours.

For reference, the other guy that took it got 100%

Mongo then skulked out and went home right on the buzzer, so we'll all get a chance to talk mad poo poo about him tomorrow, which is basically the highlight of my day. He's nearly 40 years old and rode his bicycle home to his mother's house, where he lives, in shame.

But then the reality sets in that he's a punk bitch and we all have a laugh about it.

He also claims that he was in the military but he got locked up and dishonorable discharged for refusing to shoot civilians or whatever, so I really think he's got some severe brain damage, like fetal alcohol syndrome or sniffing gasoline or something.

If you fail at the military you should really give up on life because Jesus Christ is it easy. Even if federally associated business were allowed to hire dishonorables I don't know why anybody would.

Yeah I'm drat near certain that he wasn't in the military. Pretty sure he uses it as an excuse to explain why he's nearly 40 and lives with his mother and has no job.

Dude it's funny, for the first few months I was out I was sleeping in like a motherfucker, which is like past 8 to me. As soon as I started having to get up for school, all two days of it a week, I immediately went back on army time and I wake up between 4-6am every day alarm clock or not, every single day.

Yes. Or it's prorated for this month. What day did your semester start? However many days in the month after that? Divide that number by 30, multiply by your BAH rate+16 dollars. If the numbers match, it's your first months prorated payment.

This is pretty much it.

Our teacher here has all the industry connections in the world, and if you want a job he'll hook you up. He'd put people out and some will take a dude if he gives them a gold star sight unseen. Everyone else has been picked up in first interviews.

Except him.

It only takes about 3 minutes for him to step on his own dick or ram it violently into his own mouth hard enough that people are like "there is no way in hell I would want to spend 8 plus hours a day with this guy". He's up to his 4th interview and no prospects in sight.

You'd feel bad for him if he weren't such an unlikeable cocksucker.
