Shall I slay myself a subject to study then? :D

What do you study/work with? ;)

I'm studying microbiology. I'm still on my first year though...three years of cram studying...restless nights...left :D.

But once I reach my third year, I'll be taking applied microbiology...which I hope to enjoy :D. Depends on whoever gives the class though (some professors are pure torture!)

Good professors can make all the difference in the world. Unfortunately, so can the bad ones. I'm still convinced my Contracts 2 professor was the embodiment of all evil.

That's a rather random thought...:rofl:

Nothing like a power outage to ruin a day...happened to me a few days.
When I was posting an interview for my news thread :(.

Power outages are never fun. I know awhile back at my school, one hit during finals. The poor kids were just stuck in the darkness with minutes falling off the clock.

Two suggestions to avoid problems due to power outages:
You could buy an Uninterruptible Power Supply

Write posts (especially long posts) in a txt file so you can save it, just in case.

Jet lag is horrible. Just thought I would let everybody in on that. Better get used to it though, traveling a lot now. Now, about the rumors. Hmm. Don't know exactly what they are, but I can cover some basics my sister is known to use. Yes, I am rather huge, but more arround the middle then anything. Yes, I am about as shy as they get. Usually don't say much until I know people. Some people call it intemidating and scary, me I wonder how I could scare a fly. Hmm what else might she have said. Can't think of anything. As for dirt on my sister. I have that, and plenty of it, but I am the big brother. I have to protect her.

I've got a totally new "Power outage" problem. Worst part is that it doesn't happen EVERY time... just often enough to make it annoying as heck. Sometimes, after my Microwave goes 'beep' and we go to get our hot food out - Opening the Microwave door trips the breaker! Now, the Mircowave is on the same 'line' as my main computer with the internet router. So, I have to go down the hall and warn my son "I'm going to open the microwave" so he can finish a battle on WOW before I chance killing his connection. :|

Maybe you need a new breaker box. Or some new fuses?

I have the exact same problem just with different devices. If my mom is vacuuming I can't start my blow dryer without cutting the cleaner's power :disagree: Maybe I should look into that ;|

It isn't so hard when you have people to talk to ;).

Now, I'm talking with you. A few hours ago I was talking with Milla (you saw the sig right? :D). She said that to me; it was such a nice morale boost and such kind words, I HAD to sig it :D.
