I just hate it sometimes when I'm right...

Before summer I was to have my final exams from upper secondary school, but lucky me got sick and lost 2 of the 3 written ones, and strike hindered oral exam. Well, the oral exam weren't the problem, as I got a nice letter explaining that to whoever wondered why I never took that one. The two written ones however... I got my medical certificate saying I was to sick to fulfil both of them, and that I had the right to take them later. Sounds nice and dandy doesn't it? And that was the case with the first of them, which I was allowed to take right before the summer break. I was even allowed to apply to universities on the condition that I would take the last one as soon as possible. Now, if we ignore the fact that my upper secondary school never managed to send a letter confirming my sickness to the applying agents before it almost went to hell(they did after I told them...), it went fine . Well, until today that is.

I have 3 university exams, November 26., and December 2. and 8. Today I was informed what and which exam I was going to take up again from my upper secondary school. Guess the date... Yeah, you guess right. December 2. So yes, I'm kinda screwed right now...

Can't you postpone one of the exams as you have written evidence that those two are on the same day?

Dunrik · « **Reply #902 on:** November 16, 2010, 10:55:30 AM »

If I postpone that one from upper secondary school I will be thrown out of the university and I will get a different kind of diploma. At least the administration there will take it up on a meeting today with the one responsible for it. I went to the information desk/admin desk at the uni to ask if they knew something I/they could do, or send me to someone who did know, and the only reply I got was that if I wanted to postpone it I should have done so before November 1. and that I am now screwed. I can not show up to it, and take it next year, but that opens another wormhole...

Though I'm going to yell and swear at them until they fix the problem *grumble*

Don't. Be insistent, but always polite. Yelling and swearing makes people shut down their "nice and cooperative" centers and boot up the "I'll show that little asshole" routine.

Never lose your cool. Suggest solutions. Ask to speak to superiors if all else fails. But always nice and polite.

Don't worry, I'm not that crazy.

Yay! It was time for some drama

I'm more concerned that you didn't post the xkcd on here...

After reading this morning's strip of QC I am sad.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #914 on:** November 18, 2010, 08:29:05 AM »

looks pretty boring and generic to me.

Emergency Booze + emotional breakdown = sloppy makeouts.

In any case, it's a shame. But it was about to happen.

my ex-girlfriend who I remained friends with after the break up, she got married (yay) was told she couldnt get pregnant-got pregnant (yay) and now just miscarried. boo!

Cannonofdoom · « **Reply #917 on:** November 23, 2010, 07:41:05 AM »

That's rough. It's a weird statistic, and I would not quote it to the unfortunate parents, but when you miscarry it actually increases your chances of a successful pregnancy in the future. Kinda like a practice run for her ovaries, if that's not too insensitive an analogy.

10 weeks and my wife is still sick with no diagnosis. Her next appointment is with a gyneacologist (I swear they're only guessing by sending her there, it was probably 50-50 between that and an urologist, simply going from those being the 2 most important areas in the lower abdomen for women) but it's only on december the 6th.

Right now there's another sample of urine at a lab. I'm actually somewhat hoping they'll find something bad so things will be sped up.

Oh shit dude. I hope the doctors will figure it out. Try to enjoy Sinterklaas as much as you two can

Not as bad as anyone else's problems... but i dont have any hot water

Aldaris · « **Reply #921 on:** November 23, 2010, 10:23:25 AM »

Unless you have electric heating that is a pretty serious problem in winter...

McKnight · « **Reply #922 on:** November 23, 2010, 10:36:03 AM »

Oh the heating is another system and works.

This happened to me when my water heater went out. Cold showers are no fun. I had to install a new one on my own, and surprise, surprise, I was not aware of the minutia of water heater code and missed a couple things that really don't matter, but that I will have to fix before I sell the house.

Cannonofdoom · « **Reply #924 on:** November 23, 2010, 12:32:40 PM »

Also, Faye is a good friend.

And damn you all for making me read through all 1800 strips after you whined about Dora and Marten. I was blissfully unaware of QC until you brought it up, and spent three straight work days reading it.
