14 weeks till parole, I mean graduation

This has been a tough few months. Those of you who read my posts and/or follow me, or maybe the collective 'you' in you're are really just a bunch of bots (yay for alliteration!), who knows, ahhh I digress, you know I'm rather sensitive for an INTJ. Actually, I'm just better at expressing my feelings through written word. I figured that out when someone was talking to me about an opportunity and I said "I'm really excited, I would love to do that," and I could feel my face and it didn't exactly feel as if it was giving off the "I'm really excited, I would love to do that"face. At least I acknowledge my shortcomings. I keep dreaming about a certain someone, maybe once a week, and I'm not the type of person to talk myself into hating someone I couldn't exactly stay mad at, let alone get mad at, so it's making it very difficult to 'move on,' more specifically, I haven't met anyone recently where there's a spark…I need the damn spark! What's not helping either is the sample pool of potential dating specimens. I've met some quirky guys, nothing wrong with quirky, I'm quirky, but I've also encountered some not so nice ones too. It comes with the territory, but it's kind of hard for me to wrap my mind around the fact that I 'met' (only messaged online) a guy that told me I don't eat enough (who the hell do you think you are?!), I shouldn't and don't need to work out (again, really who the hell do you think you are?!), and in order for us to have a relationship (again, I never met him!), I'd need to compromise with him (isn't this like a we've been dating for six months talk??) and allow him to cook for me (maybe this could work…), but his cooking would have to be his way because he refuses to cook "healthy hipster Whole Foods crap" (ehhh, I don't think it's gonna work...) and I would need to gain a few pounds (nope. Definitely not gonna work…). I've very picky, I've come to terms with this too. I'm not asking guys out for coffee either anymore. Sometimes I think I'm the one with balls, but I just can't find them…Besides looking for someone I'd actually be willing and wanting to spend time with, I'm working on my last semester. Hopefully I'll graduate with my remaining hair and the migraines and anxiety will magically go poof. Until then, I'll cry just a little each time I find a strand of hair not on my head. One day, my hair will be as magnificent as it was in Kindergarten.

"Hey there, can I ask you a question?"

Normally I respond with "you just did," but I decided to not be completely bitchy and instead said "sure." I knew what was coming as soon as he responded with "you're probably the hottest girl on here lol." I wasn't expecting to receive the offer I did, but I'll get to that in a minute.

Here's his stats:

Age: 28

Occupation: Special Needs teacher (to little children...quite scary if you continue to read below)

Username: something along the line of dontbecrazy

Attractiveness before I read what he wrote to me: 0

Attractiveness after I read what he wrote to me: -infinite 

He first asked if I'd be interested in any type of relationship. First of all, the use of 'any type of relationship' from some guy just oozes sleaziness, vulgarity and automatically earns a "block me" status in my book. 

But wait, it gets better. I said I wasn't interested. I said "I must reject your offer for any type of relationship." And then he responds with three paragraphs of grossness. He says he would "give massages and would LOVE to go down" on me, all when I'm in between dating other guys. He also promises that he wouldn't request anything of me, ever. He also states that this is just something he recently decided he wanted to do (you mean like five minutes ago?) and he doesn't say or offer his services to just anyone...sure, uh huh, rightttt... 

If you're reading this, I've left out some details FYI, and I just want you to know this is typical behavior/ a typical message that approximately 5% of guys on okcupid send (in my opinion). Most don't send messages like this, so it's an opportunity to blog about it. I can see the positive in this experience...

PicOfTheDay and Extra Stuff That's Annoying

Are you... lookin at me???

So here at GaTech everyone is required to take a computer science class. I chose to take CS 1315 - Introduction To Computational Media (whatever that is...) because it's CS for non-CS, math or engineering majors. Every week we get a problem set (a special word for CS homework) and I just really look forward to it (one eyebrow raised, much like the alpaca pictured above)...

I go to the TA hours every week and since I've been going my experiences are getting worse and worse. One thing I really loathe about going is that one TA (the same one every week) asks me if "Do you love doing the homework? Isn't it fun?" I respond the same way, honestly, "No." And sometimes I add, "No. I don't find it fun." And then she looks at me like I'm nuts. I can't decide if the look is because I respond honestly or if she can't imagine someone not having fun doing the homework. 

Anyways, I went to the open hours yesterday at 11am. I was there till 1:30pm. I wasted two and half hours and then some guy had the nerve to yell "Bye!" (in a disgustingly happy, jovial sort of way) as if I was in my usual super bubbly, happy-go-lucky mood (pfft), when I decided to quietly leave with an expression of pure anger (no I didn't bare my teeth like my chihuahua). I was in no mood to respond, so I didn't, and when I walked out of the room and looked back, everyone was staring at me. Anyone who knows anything about visually assessing a human being to see what type of mood they are in would know I did not want to speak to anyone. So then I was really pissed. 

Not to mention that one TA said "You're really close. I know you can figure it now!"

Well, actually, you told me the wrong thing - so thanks.

I spent another two hours fixing what the TA had me do and finishing the rest. Damn you turtle graphics - you suck!

exams that are nonsensical

I had a personality theory exam today and let me tell you something - it was ludicrous. Before I begin to tell you all about the 'test,' I want to start off by saying that I read all four chapter's twice, reviewed my notes at least ten times, read the four power points twice (about 50 slides each) and reviewed the study guide twice (which was inconveniently posted at 7:01am this morning, two days after the ph.d student professor said it was to be posted).

The test consisted of 65 multiple choice (nonsensical) questions. What should have been simple questions were written superfluously and therefore confusing. Two of the questions were repeated twice, one question's answer choices contained no answer, and the analogy questions were unanswerable because there was no real analogy. Out of the 65 questions, I marked 15 as being iffy. 15! That is ridiculous - it's just absurd! The test was poorly written and I am about 110% sure that whoever wrote it didn't read it.

Since today is 10/11/12 and everyone is saying it's lucky, I should be getting at least a B depending on the amount of luck I receive from the Luck Fairy. Maybe I should leave a full pair of dentures under my pillow - is that enough teeth for the Tooth Fairy to put a good word in for me?

ridiculousness

I woke up to an email this morning from the hall RA - which is usually a bad thing. The RA is threatening to charge everyone on the floor with a fine (of fifty bucks!!!!) due to 'vandalism,' if it happens again. Some stupid person wrote 'alcohol is awesome' and drew 'male body part's' on the bulletin board paper that has facts about alcohol pasted on it. No one reads the bulletin board (but no one should be drawing or writing on it I agree), but to punish the entire hall for one person's behavior (probably due to alcohol in the first place) - now that is nuts and it's socialism.

And I didn't get much sleep.


*sigh*
