The fact that almost all anti-ip people are also libertarians. I would like to hear more people criticizing intellectual property from a social-democrat point of view.

I'd help you with that but I have a tyrant-like personality

Noisy flatmates. Again.

It's sunday night, right at the beginning of exam season, I'm trying to revise for the class test I have tomorrow. Having to do it in the middle of a bloody house party is not appreciated ¬¬

Find some other place to study? I hate doing it but sometimes it's worth the move.

Oh, I know exactly how you feel. =_= Everytime, literally, EVERYTIME I'm studying for something. . . no one will leave me alone. =_= It suuuuuuuuuuuuuucks. My two other big things that really just cream my corn are people eatin' with their mouths open and one word text messages that involve LOL -_- Seriously, that is not a response.

The fact that my Econ final won't be marked for some while because my professor peace'd to France.

Disingenuous naming.

I took an "Applied" Linear Algebra course this semester. The only conceivable "application" of linear algebra that we learned was in MATLAB for graphics and best fit plots. As far as I can tell, outside of solving linear systems, Linear Algebra has zero connection to reality. I was hoping that, like my Applied Differential Equations class, we might learn how to better model reality with mathematics.

Didn't help that I had to teach myself the entire curriculum, since "hand waving" doesn't begin to describe the miserable instructor we had. If I had a dollar for every time he said "I don't know, help me, help me" when he walked up to the board, completely unprepared for the lecture, attempting to magic up an appropriate matrix on the spot, I wouldn't need financial aid. Thank god for Paul's Online Math notes and Khan Academy.

Hahaha this description makes me feel so much worse about the fact that I have to take that course in the next year. Apparently the prof I'll get in this crazy young Asian guy that just walks up and starts lecturing until class is over, then turns around and walks out. Which is just lol.

Also, math IS hand waving

Math is life, every time I see someone using the most advanced math or quantum physics on blackboard or writing stuff at all it almost looks like someone is writing an Armageddon spell lol, fucking weird shit XD

I have a long week and hoped to spend it doing absolutely nothing and sleeping in late, forgot to turn off my alarm clock

oh well, might as well go out for a walk later.

Y U NO LIKE MATH!?!

I'm serious, I personally think it's awesome.

I never said I didn't like it lol.

Because it was raining, and the only library in less than 20 minutes walking distance shuts at 9 on a Sunday anyway. I just gave up in the end since that particular test doesn't actually count towards my degree properly (to be honest it's pretty much irrelevant, in fact - luckily), and tried to get some sleep.

Unfortunately, the house party continued until 5AM. Literally. And it was far too noisy to sleep for that entire time, so I had to struggle through the test in a haze of tiredness (I don't even remember most of it). I think I probably failed.

Wasps. I head outside this morning to trim up some bushes so I can paint around a particular area outside of my house, the little stinging buggers are nesting in the bushes... again... So instead of getting something useful done today, I have to spray down the whole area with chemicals, and wait and try again next weekend. At least I have an excuse to goof off for the rest of the day, but I'd rather be getting done what I had planned to do.

Fortunately, this has happened enough times that before I work in this particular area, I always bring a broom handle and whack the bushes a half dozen times to see what's hiding there. Haven't gotten stung yet, thankfully.
