VP, hope Sarah does well on her exams. Sending her good luck vibes
Good morning ladies
She has to write stats. Stats for honours psych was *always* written on the last exam day before holidays at the school, I used to hate that. She's really good at stats, unlike me. I'd have my nose buried in books right up till the exam, and then I'd be left with 3 or 4 days to get ready for Christmas. 
Yeah I got it a week and a few days ago.Thanks GG
What's up?? Did I hear that you got your black belt??
For a kid it's much more fun in the snow, no responsibilities and such. Can't imagine what it's like being snowed in!Yeah, it was bad, but I remember it being fun and kind of exciting. After I got home, I was worried about my dad and brother till they got home safely. Then we all just stayed in for days, and rode it out.
There was a story I read yesterday about a pregnant woman stranded on one of those roads who got out of her car, and then her dog, who was in the car, locked her out.She got rescued too, fortunately.
For Zooey:
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
^that. That's a lot of people! Ah well at least they had food and warm drinks to survive on.yeah, i thought too that they were damn lucky! they spent about 24 hours being stuck, rescue missions went too slowly, cause only one truck could approach and took about 4 people on board every time! and there were something like 400 people stuck, i think!
i'm pretty good already, thanks
how are you yourself?
yeah I read that, sometimes people can be so damn stupid. And if you don't understand computers, either learn to use one or don't use them at all. 
Thanks, I'll let her know.
Thanks, I'll let her know.
They're in a golf kart? 
These clips are why I love this band so much. They're such dweebs. Perfectly insane dweebs.
@ at the video you posted GG
My calculus exam is on the 24th, till 3 pm. Oh the fun.
Good luck to Sarah as well.
Although I guess Christmas day isn't that big of a deal where you are? Or am I wrong? 
I've never taken a stats class. Sounds painful
What's the temperature like there? It's been freezing here for days! Well into the -30's with the windchill.
I was never very good at pure stats, had to work my ass off to get very average marks. Sarah glances at the work, and gets sickeningly high marks. I suppose that's more normal for you, though?
Omg, are you serious?? That's brutal!
I remember one year, I'd just finished my stats exam, and went back to our office (a small office next to my advisor's office that his RAs used) to get my things. I popped my head into his office to tell him I was leaving and happy holidays and all that, and he very casually said "oh, before you go, can you write 10 pages on your methods section, and get it to me by the 24th?"
OMG, WTFBBQ!!!! I said "um, Scott, it's like 4 days till Christmas, and I have a ton of stuff to do..." He was all "oh, I'm sure you can get it done."
I had NO time over the next few days, so I e-mailed him and told him I'd get it into him between Christmas and New Year. He replied "okay, that's fine."
We had to take four stats classes, plus three classes that focused on research methodology rather than statistical methods.
It's been better since late last night, the wind died down a bit. It's been minus in the teens, with windchills around minus low 20s. Right now it's -10, with a windchill of -16. I checked the other day and saw how bad it is where you are.
Yeah I got it a week and a few days ago.
Am doing good, finally being productive for a change. Will put the christmas tree in a good pot soon, we bought it yesterday morning. Though I've been sneezing like a billion times today, no clue what's up. Maybe I should go back on my allergy meds, though I usually don't need them in the winter.
I'm good, see above. lol multiquoting is fun.
this particular person is stupid, really! i know he pisses everyone off with his "helplessness".. My calculus exam is on the 24th, till 3 pm. Oh the fun.
good luck though!
Sarah sounds so smart. Lucky her!
Yep it's typical weather here for the winter. It doesn't stay like this all winter but we get bad weeks like this and then good weeks of -teens weather. Yes, I consider weather in the -teens good winter weather
I like to think having my DNA has something to do with it.
Omg, are you serious?? That's brutal!

So they decided to tack on another week to the already ridiculously long summer holiday and take it off Christmas break. That one week of holidays after Christmas will be the ONLY holiday I have till summer. Bloody ridiculous! And wtf with that advisor, that's ridiculous. Everyone knows that the week before christmas is the busiest there is. I usually work the entire week, but now I can only do this weekend because of the exams. I'll likely work boxing day though. And the week before New year's, as that's a busy one as well.
She's good at everything academic, except for organizing her time so she can get things done by the due date without freaking out.
Yeah, it's all relative, according to what you're used to, I guess. I remember in the summer when you guys were talking about how hot it was up there, and down here, that practically would have been jacket weather.
GG!!! I can't even remember if I congratulated you on your black belt, but if not, belated congratulations, that's awesome!
Perhaps try to subtly let him know that he could use some lessons in computer use?thanks
Sorry for the sneezes! maybe it's just a bit of cold? i have a tendency to sneeze in the mornings! hope it goes away soon!
and a Christmas tree? aww... we usually get ours 2-3 days before Christmas!!! went to the woods the other day and just enjoyed the quietness and lots of snow, local small wildlife (birds and squirrels) and the trees!!! must do it more often!
seriously??? that's like, torture!!! i don't even have to come to work on 24th, not to mention the university! it's the most important day of holidays in here! and you have exam in the middle of the day? painful!!!
yeah, it kind of does, but before Christmas it would just be way too busy as well! and it's more like exams start right at the beginning of New Year, but still sucks - you need to come out of the festive mood too soon and start studying! I remember that once we had a deadline of a major project right before Christmas. I sent it away minutes before the deadline and next day on Christmas, I was kind of "toast", so tired and mentally exhausted! of course it paid off too... i got a pretty good grade
You get your christmas tree from the forest? That's awesome. Here it's custom to get one after our Sinterklaas fest at december 5. Usually the weekend after people put up their trees, we didn't have time in the weekend so got it yesterday. There weren't that many left though, but we got a pretty one. Bit small but that's okay. Wow she sounds really smart. Lucky girl!She's good at everything academic, except for organizing her time so she can get things done by the due date without freaking out.

Organizing time? Wut? No comprendo! Thanks again either way.
Well I don't get presents but Christmas is still special. it's family time! They fucked us out of the usual 2 week christmas holiday this year because christmas-NY is one week, both in weekend.
Stats exams don't sound like fun.
Sounds like Sarah's got a good feeling for stats. Lucky girl!
Ah -16 is rather cold. It's about -5 tops here.
Yeah don't you get brutal humidity down there?? I remember being there in July this year and Drea was telling me you were supposed to get in the 40's a few days after I left
it'll be busy.

Yep, no joke. And it was from 3 till 6 PM before we massively complained and had it put back on an earlier hour. Seriously 6pm christmas night? people want to go home at that time and perhaps to to church. It's fucking ridiculous.
Hope your exams will go well.
no worries before Christmas!
Wow she sounds really smart. Lucky girl!
I think you did sometime last week.
I honestly seem to work best under pressure. Ah here the holidays are usually set for all holidays, though in the south of the country they have a week off for carnival. Usually it's the week of Christmas and the week of New Year's, yet this year they're in the same week(well weekend). And summer is july-august. Week of september 1 it starts again.
It's nice to have exams a bit earlier, I'm not looking forward to next week.
I think she gets that from me, too.
Do you only get one week for exams? Here, we get two. For example, this term, classes finished on the 6th, and exams are running from the 9th till the 22nd.
Thanks!
I'll be in and out today, I have to go out in a bit. What can I do for you?
And now I have to head out, but I'll try to get back on later. 
(that makes me miss Wild)
At what point can Adam drop his pants??
