Vandro? I a no vandro. I AM HAKUMEN! (because breaking character is for pussies.)
I think Dudette means some kind of spaceship
but you just did
so you are a pussy
Hmph. Then I suggest you prove yourself up for the task of tearing down lies.
I'm Doug Ramesy bitches!
I missed a bunch of free food today from the vendor showcase, and I missed the activities fair yesterday.
No wi-fi, so I guess I won't be here as often. Oh well.
Also, provided nothing comes up when I speak to the profs, I think I'll take that tough-sounding thesis I was offered. I hope that's not a mistake.
(It feels weird talking about that while many are just starting college.)
So if anyone asks me why I think tumblr/internet social justice is counter-intuitive I'll remind them that because of them 'trans-ethnic' is a thing.
Being an oppressed minority is trendy now.
^Not to mention that if you're a non-white person that disagrees with them, they'll label you "white identifying". Basically a nicer way of saying "race traitor".
That's actually happened to me recently.
(Spoilers for SWTOR's Imperial Agent storyline, if you care about those spoilers at all.)
At three minutes, five seconds in.
Jadus literally kills you if you don't bow to him. That's... kinda ridiculous and awesome- the game mechanics actually support the idea that bowing to a Sith Lord is a good idea.
I acknowledge that the game isn't all that great most of the time, but seriously, that was great.
Clint, you are making it REALLY hard for me to like you.
>idea of a coherent racial identity that everyone has to fit in
>skin colour as main identifier(because saying 'being oppressed' is the entire locus of someone's identity is horribly patronizing) rather than shared background of oppression/marginalization based on said skin colour
Social-justicer-than-thou aside, I stopped browsing through that circlejerk the moment it started to get offending instead of lulzworthy. Plenty of sites that peddle the same ideas in a more convincing and well-argued tone, without turning it into an argument that has to be won.
And with that, my first week of college classes is over. Just have a bit of homework left to do.
Night.
How's college coming for any of you going, whether first years or continuing?
It's going really well so far. I've been on top of my work (which has mostly been reading; I have a feeling things will get worse once I have to write things (actually, I have to do a journal for Psych, but I have time)), I have lots of friends, I like the campus, and there's lots to do.
I won't start until October, but it's cool that seven of my high school classmates are at the same faculty.
@ninjaclown: I don't start uni for another week. Pretty stressed out right now, but way less stressed out than I remember being before starting high school.
Good, so it's not just me. XD I always feel antsy about post-secondary education of any kind, whether a first timer or going back.
College/being in London has been pretty great so far. Haven't really had any real assignments yet, though.
Socially, better than my life's been in years. Went to a shisha lounge tonight with my roommates and some friends. That was fun.
Internship's over. Apparently I did a good job, though I don't think I learnt much. Oh well.
Aren't the point of internships to network and/or put them on your list of stuff you've accomplished?
^^ Yep, that's part of it, though I was expecting real-world experience to be instructional, like everybody says.
^ Sorry, dude.
If it, uh, helps, I missed the deadline to go to my orientation and I'm technically still not completely sure I'm allowed to be in one of my classes.
I get the impression at my college no one liked the new system yet.
Chances are it'll be fine, but it's a little stressful to not know for sure.
Man. I just looked at photos of myself recently, and I'm a lot skinnier than I thought I was
