5AM to 4PM, I just didn't feel like getting up today...  I slept from 11 AM to 9PM yesterday then went to sleep at 5AM and woke up at 4PM.

Having a long dream about being too tired to get up.

headache, probably from having two midterms and not enough sleep.

So much for "Do something productive".

This video game demo I played today has a short play time limit despite only having 3 out of  the 19 stages in the final version of the game It's kind of annoying since it doesn't have all of the game to begin with, so why limit the time on the only 3 stages it has?

my house lacks internet for some reason, and has since yesterday afternoon.  at least I get to be online at the university...

Spending six hours on a critical assignment, then realizing it was due two days before the usual time.

The fact that I'm not used to it getting dark around 5:45-6:00PM yet, it always feels odd around this time of year until I eventually adjust to it.

The other day:
mom: Terri and the kids are coming over soon.
me: *Notices it's dark outside* What?! But it's-- *Checks clock* 6 PM. Oh.
mom:
me: It's dark out, and I thought it was like 10 or something.

I think it's because you're in Canada (right?). After all, in the winter, the regions within the arctic circle can end up with like... an entire week of night time or more, and in the summer, the same amount of time of day time. So I suppose since Canada's near the arctic circle, you're affected by that sun positioning that causes that.

That was basically my exact reaction to the time of day 2 hours ago.  *Sits at desk takes a look out the window.* "It must be late or something." *Checks PC clock*. 


Edit :
Waiting for a game to arrive from Amazon. It Will be worth the wait once it arrives though.

Snaps "D" String tuning guitar

You can imagine my mood at this time, and that i'm not going to this shop for guitar strings anymore....

[Chishio Kunrin]

I can't play guitar. Even if I try, despite my fingers being long, I think my hands are too small.

Well my sister just told me a rather interesting story....

So (very) long story short, my niece fell asleep on the bus today, and wasn't accounted for at her stop, where my sister was waiting for her(and my nephew, who DID get off the bus).  He told my sis that she was on the bus so my sister ran after it(whilst being 1 month pregnant...) while another parent went the back way to cut off the bus.  My sister's neighbor catches up with her and drives her to the next bus stop where the bus once again drives off.  The parent that cut off the bus told my sister that the driver said she(my niece) fell asleep and she won't be let off until the end of the route, EVEN THOUGH MY SISTER WAS RUNNING AFTER THE STUPID BUS.  So, she called the bus company who then told her, and I quote, "She(my niece) shouldn't have fallen asleep.  It's not the bus driver's responsibility to account for kids when they get off."  Yes, read that second quote a couple more times to absorb the idiocy that is that statement.  The Ontario School Bus Federation(or whatever it's called) says the EXACT OPPOSITE, the driver IS responsible for the kids(obviously), and not seeing a woman running after her bus is a blatant disregard of her surroundings(did I mention the kids noticing her and yelling at the driver to stop??).  So anyway, my sister contacted the school board, the school her kids go to, and our government representatives.

Yep, she's after her job, you blame her?  I don't!

Oh yeah, I didn't mention that this wasn't the 1st time this happened.  Apparently the 1st time involved her letting a kid off at the wrong stop and the kid went missing, police involved, amber alert the whole works, yet,
She wasn't accountable.  BS

[Chishio Kunrin]

..... Yeah, that bus driver needs to lose her job.
I hate when it's someone's job to help or be responsible for someone who depends on them or needs them, but they don't do their job right or just plain don't do their job.
