This AP poo poo is legit giving me nightmares now. Had a dream last night that I had to go back and take some high school courses alongside the youngins in order to finish college.

It was horrifying. Pretty funny though when I told off the teacher trying to get me to pay attention to the babby explanation for how electrons work when "dude, I've taken physics 2, I've derived all the various equations for field strength and electric potential, your metaphor using men and women for positive and negative charges doesnt quite cut it, and also I'm fairly sure no elementary particles are gay so it's a dumb comparison". Or something like that, but more witty.

loving brain poo poo, man.

I thought Van Canto was awesome when I was 20 and most heavy into Metallica (07-08ish).

I still think they're awesome, but in a completely different way.

E: GOD, the distorted vocal wanking on the second solo... :laffo:

Also it's way better with visuals:

Boy it's nice when my mom rushes out in a panic attack thinking that I'm committing suicide the slow way because I'm unemployed and don't sleep at the correct time and not living on a loving kale only diet

[Telling me she thinks I'm killing myself with my sleep schedule is a great way to relax and help me get to sleep hth]

And now I'm obliged to go back to counseling and stay in contact with hey every single day once I move out... for HER mental well being

I mean half the screwed up poo poo in my brain is p much a direct result of doing this same dumping her insecurities on me poo poo as a kid

[be concerned I'm not successful enough in elementary school>put me on Ritalin>let shrinks convince her I an a very special snowflake who needs more than public school to succeed>split me from the friend group I'm just starting to bond with in 9th grade to send me to boarding school in loving VERMONT>crash and burn after 2 weeks there>send me to live with my dad for high school instead of back to the one I was at so I can deal with being ostracized yet again because now clearly RIGID AUTHORITY is what I need. All of which leads to me finishing high school with ZERO lifelong friends and no memories of people who, in contrast, remember me by name and leaving me with only one "friend" who turned out to be the biggest prick on the planet and is responsible for the other half of my bullshit]

BUT HEY I'M SURE IT'LL WORK OUT loving GREAT THIS TIME WITH A COLLEGE DEGREE AND A loving APARTMENT LEASE AT STAKE IF I CAN'T KEEP MY poo poo TOGETHER

Tell your mom to gently caress off and sever.

Seriously, some people are loyal to family to a fault. If you wouldn't let anyone else treat you like dogshit why is it ok for family to do it?

To my shame I'm still 100% dependent on her so severing isn't an option yet.

Moving out puts me next to the school instead of 45m away (plus taking a campus shuttle instead of another 30m hunting for parking), but the main thing is to get me the gently caress away from her even if she's still paying my expenses for the time being; now apparently I don't even get that as she'll still basically be there in spirit.

I need to get a loving job to cut her off fully, but the only skill I have is mechanic work which isn't really conducive to working around a college schedule and leaving time to study, and I have zero confidence in being able to work retail/hospitality. What the gently caress do I do?

Oh the best part, she directly asked me "you're not crazy cause of me, are you? Because that would just break my heart. " How the gently caress do you even reply to that? "No, of course not" is the only real answer in my situation even if it's a loving BALDFACED LIE

found out today poo poo is slightly less hosed w my college situation than I thought so imma give this an enthusiastic "ehhh we'll see"

still no word on an apartment though. god I don't wanna commute 45 minutes each way to school all semester.

also I had to walk clear across campus 3 times visiting various far flung offices. in 95 degree 80%humidity w full direct sun beating down on my pasty Irish skin (I get all the sun vulnerability without the neat red hair or green eyes).

Assuming this will be an ongoing thing, buy the cheapest bicycle at Walmart, leave it chained up on campus, use it to get between classes (especially if they don't have campus shuttles or the shuttles are infrequent). That's what I did when I was at UNT. I don't know how big your campus is, but it saved me a ton of time, and got me in shape too. Especially when I missed a shuttle bus; when I did take a bus, I'd take the bike with me (they all had bike racks on the front) and chain it up at whatever building my class was in. I had 10 minutes to get between some classes, and many of them were 10 minutes apart by bicycle (and 20+ apart by foot... and bus).


The campus is a big circle with parking garages at various spots around the outside, and all my classes should be in the engineering building so it shouldn't be much of an issue. It's just Engineering and the registrar's office/financial aid are like exact opposite points on the outer circle and I had to go back and forth a few times.

There is a campus shuttle, on-campus as well as to various apartment complexes, which I'm restricting myself to so I can save having to deal with commuting in big-college traffic.

Mostly I'm just a fat piece of poo poo though. Maybe college student starvation income will help with that. (I can't loving believe I thought I was fat eighty loving pounds ago)

Most are, but the BH pattern is the same, and if you're swapping it needs customizing anyways... IIRC you have to play some games with the intake or something, and make motor mounts and exhaust.

Like, say, routing it through the firewall with a passenger footwell CAI (cabin air intake).

That Corolla is still, like, top 3 for my favorite project ever.

Same engine as the 280Z in a bigger, fatter, heavier body. Also not sexy. Avoid.
