Work, work means procrastination.

I love talking to people from other cultures. Right now, I really, really want out.


Also listening to some Punjabi reggae.

Edit: I'll be getting approx. £650 a month for my first year of uni, and £500 or so in subsequent years. I also have savings that I'll be granted access to as soon as I start university. I do have to pay back some of it, but it's not much and I get student finance up to my PhD.

Yeah, me too.

Oh wait, I am getting paid to learn!

***** YOU EUROPEAN ASSHATS!!!

>:(

Stupid US educational system...

Yeah, I still have to watch it when I type out espresso. My fingers always go to the X key first and I have to backspace and correct it, even though I pronounce it correctly.

Also, espresso drinks here are more milk than anything else. In a 16 ounce mocha, there's roughly 4 ounces of espresso, two pumps of chocolate, an ounce of syrup if you add that, and the rest is milk. I know this because I worked as a barista on and off for about 3 years while I was working with the food services on campus. =x

I'm currently about $30k or so in debt from loans and I've got about 5 years of school that I've received financial aid for. The first year I only had a loan for about 2500 because I was 19 and my parents financial information still counted against me. With the 4 year hiatus I took though, when I came back I got about 3/4 of my education paid for with grants. That helped out a lot. I don't know what grad school for a year and three months is going to look like though. =/ Teacher certification programs are weird, because they're shorter and I'm pretty sure there are no grad student teaching positions available to help you pay for your schooling.

But yeah, the US education system sucks balls.

Some of the smaller subreddits are really cool and useful. There's a fetish one and a sex one, too. :3

Those are NSFW.

Basically you replace the part after /r/ with whatever you want to talk about and unless it's a super obscure topic or one covered by one of the larger ones, you'll find a community.


Reddit itself is basically a site based on posting stuff (mostly links) and whatever gets the best rating per amount of time makes the front page. You can even customise your front page with the subreddits that are relevant to you!
There's a few cool sections that are more discussion-based, TIL (TodayILearned), IAmA/AMA (I am a... ask me anything), DOE (does anyone else) and AskReddit, mainly.

The problem is that you are likely to end up killing a lot of time on there once you get hooked.


Some people really don't like the community, but I <3 them, for the most part.

The problem is that a lot of people probably wouldn't get it.

Also trying if sig works now.

I've fallen in love with a new genre of music. One I hadn't thought I'd fall for.

Normally, I'm not much of a electronic music fan, but dubstep is pretty cool - if done properly. It's like semi-slow techno/dance, but with an emphasis on the bass.

Of course, like with all music, there's good and less good dubstep. And then there's epic dubstep (or metalstep).

If you're wearing a headset, prepare for some mind-shattering vibrations.

It's funny how some words are pronounced in the wrong way. We've got a lot of it here as well. Some pronounce håndklæde (towel) as hångklæde. Hindbær (strawberry) turns into himbær. Billed (picture) turns into biddel.

Drives me up the walls.

Diglett, we should talk on skype so I can make you try saying "ei" and "uil" :3 (egg and owl)
