Because it snowed, and there was no delay for school, I am annoyed.

Because I have to go to fields, I am annoyed.
Why? The teacher takes the equations from the book, puts them in powerpoint slides, and then writes them on the board.

No new information is introduced.

He says "yano" every five seconds.

He only stays on one projector, which is on the other side of the classroom.

WHO THE HELL TEACHES MATH WITH POWERPOINT SLIDES!?!??!

I'm sure everyone has heard about love/lust-struck astronaut lady

I'd like to extend a letter of thanks to her.
I'd like to thank her for proving that women are unstable.
I'd like to thank her for making the point that women can't possibly hold jobs in a scientific field, because they will become enamoured with someone.
I'd like to thank her for becoming enamoured with not just anyone, but a colleague.
The problem?
She goes bananas, hunts down another woman, and tries to kill her. All while wearing a diaper.

What does this mean for me?

People are going to think because I've got a vagina and am interested in sciencey things, I'm going to engage in insane activities that can only be tied to the fact that because I am female, I am unstable.

Lisa Nowak, I, Jessica Harper, would like to extend my thanks to you for making my life as an aspiring engineer just that much more difficult.

I'm in DB... my wireless is working fine and dandy.

Time to see what's up with Dave's router.

So after my touchpad starts freaking out,
my wireless starts freaking out.

It'll hold a connection for say... 5 minutes, and then I have to disable/reenable the card.

Wired works fine.

Wireless.... doesn't.

It's highly annoying, I might take my computer with me to see if it's just Dave's router seriously hating me, or what.

It can't be firefox, because I can send/receive email, and I have no problem sending IMs.

MSIE will do the same thing... it's weird.

So last night, we went to see Pan's Labyrinth.

It was ok.

In the previews, Coke had some black history month thing. It went up to 1963, whereupon we decided that 1963 was the last time a black person did anything useful. :p

Then there was a movie about ??? I don't remember, it was called Amazing grace.
It had something to do with slavery and the like, and OF COURSE, it's being released before the end of the month.

THEN I found this article

It's ridiculous, I couldn't read it all of the way through.

The world acts like black people are always the victim... ok, maybe it's just black people. As I always say, black people are some of the most racist people out there.

It's ridiculous, and stupid.

This whole business about the state formally apologizing for slavery?

It's bullshit. I'm not a slave. My parents weren't slaves. My great-grandmother on my dad's side was, but I didn't even know her.

None of the white people I know today owned slaves. Most of them are 2nd or 3rd generation, even. How is it that I'm supposed to want an apology for something that they didn't even have a part in?

The only people keeping black people down are themselves, and the occasional angry non-black who's stupid. In the case of the latter, you know what you do?

Say "oh well, fuck them", perhaps report them to a local agency, and move on.

I guess no one remembers being 5, and going home crying every day because the "popular" kids wouldn't let them play. Then the ensuing lecture from a parent stating that "honey, not everyone's going to like you... just ignore them and find someone else/better to play with".

Sigh.

I went out shopping today.

Good news: I got a pair of boots, similar to the ones I'd wanted from A&N for 10 dollars less.

I went looking for a sports bra, but apparently anyone that's got boobs bigger than a DD and is a "smaller" size isn't allowed to exercise.

I tried on an L...
I tried on an XL...
I tried on a 36DD (I can hope, can't I?)

I went to every shop in the mall... They all had the spandex bandeau crap going on. I don't want to be basketballs on a staircase.

Grrr.

I may as well go and buy another ill-fitting 66 dollar unmentionable.

Stupid small boobied small people and medium boobied fat people.

Can't I be a small/medium person with big boobies that wants to exercise? They tell me I need to exercise so I'm not a fatass, because it's bad for me, but then they don't sell the proper materials so I can!

T.T
