SD-1 Refugee Thread-The Sequel

[mellybelly]

Ah, how I love this class. Today? We are learning about cell phones. No joke.


eta: < I forgot him.

 

[Firecracker]

Od dear Melly I've been there, you sit and listen and wonder who you can ask for a refund on that hour of your life... (although that just came to me - normally I'm sitting there thinking about how many minutes it's wasted and has my brain dribbled out of my ears).

I got a lift home with one of the guys today (I nearly asked the gritter guys, I could have got a lift home on one of the gritter lorries! :lol, so I left at 4:30 and was home by 5pm! Better than my normal leave at 5 and get home at 6:30pm And there was still daylight! assout:

So I decided on a spur of the moment run. I had sweatpants, a tshirt top and a thin fleece, got outside and realised it was cold enough to freeze your extremities. But I went! Walked to warm up, ran until I realised it was in fact, damn cold, and I was getting painful fingers. Came home with my hands in my pockets trying to thaw them out and stop the painful aching as feeling returned :doh:. But I got home and found out it was 2C (36F), but felt like -2C (28F) - the weather site gives you the actual and the feels like temperatures. That's COLD for here. It's be normal for this time of the year, except we've been on a very mild winter. Yesterday marked the beginning of a cold snap - we're even predicted snow overnight/tomorrow. After a few weeks of not gritting, we gritted last night and tonight.

But even so, it was 0.7 miles (I think, I forgot which street I stopped at), and a PPM (pace per mile) of 8:50, which was a good time for me BEFORE I stopped running in October! And this wasn't even me going fast tonight, so it made me happy .

Tonight I am determined to do some music burning/ripping/uploading, burn Mellie's CD and have a shower. Anything else is a bonus.

:hi: to everyone



ETA - OK before I start anything I think I'll shower - it might stop the headache which is threatening to start (had the same thng this morning and it went away). Be back later :hi:

 

[talula62]

:hi: Talula How did article writing go?

My article writing? My aritcle reading-and-summarizing for work? My article writing is done! My stuff for work, I'm still downloading articles from the library databases to go through. :yucky: Thank you for asking. ^_^ So your trip is all planned out again?

Thank you. But, really, it's okay. My heart belongs to OU football and Arkansas basketball. I never watch OU basketball. Still, while I was going to sleep, I had the news on and saw that you had won. Congratulations!! urthumbsup:

Ahhh I see. That's the story I hear from many folks! Well, minus the Arkansas basketball stuff. :lol:

It's so exciting. I need to see Babel and Little Miss Sunshine. I wouldn't mind seeing The Queen, either.

Oh you have to see Little Miss Sunshine soon! I was thinking you'd seen it. I'm prety sure you'll really enjoy it! Oh man. I'm smiling just thinking about it. :rotflmao:

I'll have to go check out the Oscar noms. Lots of movies I need to see too! ETA: :rotflmao: Borat is up for Best Adapted Screenplay. Random. :lol: ETAA: The little girl in Little Miss Sunshine!! :lovely:

melly, what exactly about cell phones are you learning? And... why? :lol:

No update on the LJ page, but this was on the temp site: Clicky.

Guess what my dad finally got.... DSL!! :w00t: No more dial-up for me! It's rather exciting. Now I can catch up on Grey's at home rather than having to wait for the days when I have class! :lol:

Awesome news!

 

[mellybelly]

melly, what exactly about cell phones are you learning? And... why? :lol:

I don't know why. My class is about technology...it's called digital communication technology, or something close to that. The first week of class we made a blog. Last week we had to burn a CD and make a label for it. This week we are learning about cell phones. We had to research a couple different phones (like the Blackberry Pearl and the Chocolate) and make a little document about them. It's so random and weird and I just don't get it. For tomorrow, or Thursday, I can't remember which day I'm supposed to bring in information about my cell phone plan.


Sorry I haven't been very talkative today and really all that I have talked about is my stupid class. I'll try and work on that. It's time to go home now. I might be around tonight. Not sure. I have a lot of TV to watch.

:hi:

And on the languages, I once studied French and Spanish at the same time. My classes were back to back and I was so confused! I had had Spanish before (2 years in junior high, 1 year in high school, and two rotations of GT), but I still kept getting mixed up. : wacko:

That's similar to what my best friend is doing. The crazy girl is taking elementary Italian and German this semester.

The Oscar nominations are out. :r eallyexcited: So many films I need to watch. : passout:

Pretty impressive list this year. There are a need/want to see.

Did you know that you can be sore behind your knees and around your ankles and that walking up 2 flights of steep stairs really sucks when you are sore? inch:

Did you know that you can be sore behind your knees and around your ankles and that walking up 2 flights of steep stairs really sucks when you are sore? inch:

I know a runner friend who said that when you're sore and achey (like after she's run a marathon), that if you have to go downstairs, you walk backwards down them - it hurts less. And Lance Armstrong went up/down stairs sideways, after he did the marathon.

I think jogging and walking backwards is recommended as a good stretch/cool down after a hard workout

Hope you feel less sore soon A good excuse to lie in bed with a hot water bottle under your knees!

 

[talula62]

Well melly, maybe you can ask your teacher why my mom's phone changes ringers on her and freezes DURING incoming calls so that she can't answer the phone and the ringer never stops. :blink: Mine has decided to bury the phone number of an important person. It's in the speed dial listing but it's not listed in the regular address book. I swear. We have the same phone.

I'm sorry you're sore, kelley! :telepath:

 

[Sydney Bristow CIA]

Ah...soreness....lovely...I know the feeling, being a track runner. Lot's of fun. HA! Yeah...anyway

Interesting. I have to many stairs to go down constantly to do that though.

My friend and I did that after the game, but we are both still sore.

thanks. :smooch:

Now mine is freezing. It'll restore itself but then certain things that should be on the screen disappear or have a line across where they should be. Stupid piece of censored :lol: I did not drop you in a hot tub, phone, you have no excuse to act this way!

ETA: Whoa. if you just type the word [cen sored], it totally smiley's itself without the colons. :blink:

How long have you had it?

Really.

 

[melohdramatic]

Oh, people! I was just at the food court getting some dinner. I was in the drink area with this boy and he was using the drink machine I wanted. So, I waited. Then, when he stepped away, I thrust my cup under the Cherry Coke spigot and ... watery ick came out! I was like "UGH!" and the kid was like, "Yeah, it did that to me, too." He stood there and watched me do the exact same thing he did and didn't say a word! I attempted to half-smile at him because inside I was screaming, "Why didn't you tell me, buttface?!"

So, today's official goes to The Boy Who Ruined Meloh's Drink and Talula's phone. I you both.

 

[talula62]

How long have you had it?

two whole months. :hmmm: methinks they rushed the market with these things without working out the kinks!

I'm pretty sure she would just look at me like she had no idea what I was even talking about and then she would ramble on about some nonsense that would have my mind begging for her to just stop talking.

I have the same phone as my mom and I have all kinds of issues that she doesn't. It freezes when I get text messages (although she doesn't really get those ever) or it'll just turn itself off and back on again. It drops my calls all the time. They've looked at it and can't find anything wrong with it. <_<

I double

The Boy Who Ruined Meloh's Drink. What a butt-face to not tell you such a thing. And not even the good kind of butt-faced miscreant.

A

for talula's phone and a

for mother of talula's phone. That sounded weird.

 

[talula62]

:lol: mother of talula's phone. :lol: and yes, do not actually ask your teacher about the phones. i will never be one to suggest that you have any more contact with her than is already necessary! :lol:

Ugh. Get me out of this office.

 

[~sally~]

:hi:...we're still here

Meloh I have had that happen to me too...a number of times ...it is what it is I guess

what kind of phone do you have talula?...kinda sounds like the one I had to get replaced a couple of weeks ago..

:w00t: for DSL lucky..isn't it awesome??? :lovely:

yeah....I have the lousiest of catchups

That's exactly why I held off on the miscreant part! :lol: I decided he wasn't good enough be a butt-faced miscreant.

Oh, dude. The people of the hall are trying to get me to be social and play with them this evening. I've already told them that I do not like them and have no desire to play with them.

Actually, I do like most of them, but I have no desire to play with them. I was going to finish Hemingway so I can be finished with the homework in Fiction Writing until next week sometime. Perhaps it will motivate me to get started on one of the many written projects that are looming ahead in the near future.

ETA: I called MelohDad to tell him about how I saw Chuck Norris in a movie dubbed in Spanish. I knew he'd get a chuckle out of it. Anyhow, after we laughed, I was going to hang up and he was like, "Wait! Did you finish all your reading last night?" :lovely: He remembered from our last conversation about me struggling through the reading! The little things in life just make me oh so very happy. ^_^
