Laya and I decided to call "football" "shitball". Real football involves feet. Hence "foot"-ball. Yay for working a Husker game tomorrow...
Okay all you blogging wizzards. How do you get that fun little "listening to, reading, watching" sidebar? God I suck at this.I have come to the conclusion that testing centers SUCK. So I went to the Arts and Sciences testing center today to take the dreaded Psych of Perception Midterm. I opt to take the Essay section first - while all that neuropsychology bullshit is still fresh in my mind. So Question 1. I spend a good amount of time writing out at least 6 paragraphs describing how I would test photoreceptors for dark adaptation and what it would tell me and what the graph would look like and what changing the wavelength would do and what changing the location of the test stimulus would do. Yada yada yada, right? (PS. that was not a Seinfeld reference. I hate Seinfeld and it should die.) So after I have revised my essay and checked for perfection, I click "next" to go to question 2. The screen says "Unable to connect to server." So I bring the proctor over and he pressed some buttons and logs me back in, saying my essay should still be there. It's not. Um, excuse me dear proctor, could you tell me where it went please? Proctor: "Whoa. Really? I don't know. Guess you'll have to rewrite it. Yeah, sorry." SCHEISSEKOPF!
Ok so rewrite Question 1. Make it to question 2. Click "grade" to submit it. The Proctor types in his password that I submitted it, and a new screen comes up. "You have no assignments to grade." WTF!>!?!?!?!? I finally, after masterful skills at holding tears back that are about to overflow, say eff it and complete the objective section. I ran into my prof and he said he'll try to recover the files if they didn't make it. Boo Testing Centers. Boo. Bring back the pencil and paper. Please.
On a happy note, my sister is awesome and sent me good CDs.

1. Ok, you spelled "wizard" wrong. Moment to make fun of THAT please!
2. I love that you refer to the subject that you're majoring in as "bullshit." :)
3. I figured out the sidebar thing - if you click on the red letters that say "all consuming" at the bottom of my reading/watching/listening thing, you can sign up for their site and then paste the code they give you into your template. This might require a phone call walk-through. You know my number.
4. Oh my gosh, I would have flipped the hell out on that computer - you're a stronger person than I.
5. Yay for cds. :)
1. wow. what a way to kick me when i'm down.
