I hope your situation works out okay, Aims. Almost don't know what to say. The way you're telling it, that prof sure seems like an asshole to me and that would be reason to appeal it. At UCLA I got an incomplete that turned to an F because of some utter bullshit on the prof and TA's parts. Only F I ever got in my life. But I managed to graduate just fine and no prospective employer has ever brought it up. Heed the words of those more experienced than me, though. My career in life has hardly been exemplary. Go you!

Regardless of the reactionary words of the site that was featured on, DJ, congrats to your friend for getting a good modeling gig, esp when she was having a tough time in LA. Good for her!

But angles can make all the difference.

Bingo. Even when I was a svelte athletic teen, I hated my chin. It didn't go straight back like Katherine Hepburn's (who, oddly enough, didn't like her chin/neck and hid them a lot), but instead the muscle attaches pretty far down the neck. Looks a little double-y even when I'm skinny. Now that I'm fat there's no hope.

Stayed up WAY too late dealing with fallout from the Gawker thing. And in a lot of RSI pain. So I slept late. Got up, helped with some chores, volunteered to do some grocery shopping, pedaled to TJ's and Pavilions. One of the things I most love about my Xtracycle is that I'll go shopping with my bike helmet on and such and the cashiers go "Uh...um..." about how many groceries I'm getting. They'll politely point out that maybe I'm buying too many groceries to take home on a bike and I can say, "Oh no, I'm fine. I've got a cargo bike." Hee!

Put groceries away, watered plants and I already feel like I've failed at getting my own agenda done today because it's sunset. I should force myself, though. I really need to get this sty of a room cleaned and organized. Still very much living out of boxes.

Too much might make your pee expensive

Damn, is there some sort of black market for pee? I've got to get on this. And then take a shitload of vitamin C.

I hope your situation works out okay, Aims. Almost don't know what to say. The way you're telling it, that prof sure seems like an asshole to me and that would be reason to appeal it.

Honestly? I'd let it go. I'm not sure what an appeal would be based on. (Other than compassion, and that's not nothing.) It sucks that's she's being a hardass about it, but, kind of the breaks.

And end of the day, you'll still be coming out with a far above average record. Assuming your next step isn't Harvard Law, this isn't going to make a difference.

Actually letting it go, emotionally, will be harder said than done. But I suspect it's your best course.

Damn, is there some sort of black market for pee?

Wait. Why do I remember this? Isn't there something about ita getting pee thrown at (not ON) her in an alley? Possibly while visiting the Angel set?

(Seriously? WHY DO I REMEMBER THAT.)

I feel slightly bad - I just yelled at the delivery guy for banging on my door so hard. He says people haven't heard him, but that is why I have a door bell

most people are deficient in Vit D

Actually I was just reading a few days ago about a large scale survey which debunked this - lemme dredge up that link because I was really surprised.

Eta here it is - new vitamin D reccomendations from the IOM show most Americans and Canadians are getting enough: [link]

(Seriously? WHY DO I REMEMBER THAT.)

I recall it being COMM'd. (Not POMM'd, thankfully.)

There is a black market for pee, but it's for drug-free pee, not over-vitamined pee.

The night before an organic chemistry test, I came down with something that included a 104-degree fever. I staggered into student health the minute it opened and they prescribed a very expensive antibiotic, gave me a note for the professor and told me to go to bed. As soon as I could, I went to the professor, explained what happened and asked to drop the class, since I didn't see how I could make up the work in everything. (The evil illness went on to include an ear infection and then an eye infection.) At that time, you could drop a class before a certain point, but the professor had the option of giving you withdrawal while passing or withdrawal while failing. The first went away; the second acted like an F on your GPA. The professor said, "Well, you didn't do well on the first test, so you probably would have failed the test you missed" and gave me the latter.

This is one reason why I became a journalist instead of a doctor.

The professor said, "Well, you didn't do well on the first test, so you probably would have failed the test you missed" and gave me the latter.

Jesus, what a prick.

I have expensive pee as well. It never occurred to me that different vitamin pills could be absorbed differently. I suppose I should mess with some chewables and see if it makes a difference. I definitely need to supplement. I hate most seafood so I take fish oil capsules. And I don't get quite as many fruits and veggies as I should (or as diverse a selection as I should).

Ha! I missed it by a day. There had been pee throwing the night before I showed up. Poor Tim.
