The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

[zabu of nΩd]

Once in high school I attempted to stay awake as long as possible just for the hell of it. I lasted four days and three nights before I succumbed.

I thought about doing that, but I heard it was really bad for you, so I decided not to. Did you suffer any side-effects after it was over?

Once I went for a fortnight using the following pattern at night:

stay awake for 2 hours
cat nap for 15 mins
another 2 hours awake
15 mins more...
...and so on and so forth.

I got up to date with all my work, finished writing a 40k codex, leveled a WoW character to 70 and finished painting an army, but, goddamn, I felt so shit for the entire period.

Wow, that's impressive.

I got a 1750, because I pwned both English sections and was mediocre on the math. And they gave me half the time I needed to finish the essay. It still got me into one of the better state schools in the country, and an invitation to the Honors College here, which I accepted.




Just got back to my room after hanging downstairs for a couple hours, recounting the events of the weekend. A lot of my friends went on a trip to Quebec city, which of course turned into a total drunken shit-show with all the kinky details.

I got a 1030, but I did better on the ACT. However, none of that matters (or ever mattered) because I have a college degree from a good school

Looking at my work schedule. They gave me tomorrow and Wednesday off for some reason. But they have me working Saturday which is unusual. But I'll take it because I have shit ton of work to do.

I'm kind of glad I didn't have to take the new SAT. I took mine my junior year and did better than any of my friends so I didn't really give a shit. I wasn't really looking to get into any Ivy Leagues (though, oddly, one of my hispanic classmates who did worse than me got accepted into Princeton and I didn't, and I know for a fact that I definitely had a better interview session than he did, which leads me to believe that I was the victim of affirmative action. Not that I wanted to go to Princeton anyway, but still, that always bothered me).

Heh, affirmative action. I never understood what it "affirms"...racism? WTF?

Just read that Slayer won this year's Grammy for Best Metal Performance. Who cares.

 

[cookiecutter]

What did they release this year?

Not sleeping. Awesome.

Getting ready for my first day at train drivers school. Oh yeah! :>

What did they release this year?

So I totally got that wrong and was looking at 2007. They were nominated this year for a song called Final Six (doesn't show up on MA...), but As I Lay Dying won this year.

Good luck!!

I'm checking out the new Celestia album "Frigidiis Apotheosia..." and trying to decide whether I like it or not.

The album has some good moments but seems to be quite average overall, and the troll-tastic vocals aren't doing it much help either.

 

[cookiecutter]

Watching Tatu videos on youtube. Catchy songs with boobs and lesbian kisses. What more could you want?

 

[Vilden]

Good luck!!

Thanks alot!

ACT>SAT. It doesn't weigh math so heavily compared to other skills, which is preferable since reading based skills have far more value in college and in life than math skills do, barring a few professions.

I never actually took the SAT, but I had a 32 on the ACT, and that was held back by my math score, which was still quite a bit above average.
