h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Oh no, you're not gone. Darn googly eyes!

Nah I didn't like the book. I had to do it in English too, back in the day. We watched the modern version of the movie with it.

I'm not going to go to the exam for my other paper; I've already failed so I'm not going to bother. I only feel stink because I put in so much work and I have nothing to show for it now.

And I still don't really know what I'm going to do next semester. I really want to work and have a little money to spend, but I don't want to think about finding a job yet. I'm already signed up for two papers next semester, so maybe it'd be easier to go than to pull out. One of them seems boring though, and I can't imagine me being happy doing only one second-level paper.

Hugs.

jerms! you're online! i'm online! party!

i actually didnt mind the book that much, but i like my teacher and he did a good job of making it intersting.

so tell me whats going on
are you back more regularily now?
how long will you be here tonight?

good to see you

where is my head!?!!?
its gone. i think my brain has been stolen.
are you alright?
i'm starting to seriously consider that i may be slightly empathic. people are weird.

oooh.... on saturday i had quite a rewarding time. i helped my cousin with a problem, she thought she'd lost her best friend but it all worked out in the end. i felt bad for her though, she was freaking out. i know how she felt. so i gave her some advise and kept talking to her while she was feeling aweful. she gave me a nice phone call as soon as they'd made up
and my other friend.... her familys been evicted from their house and shes not going to graduate among other things. she sent me a beautiful email just for being her friend and listening to her.
people are very strange. i'm inclined to think that practically all of them are jerks.... and then people do things to supirse me... hmm... i dont know.

anyways.... thats enough of that. i should really study for my french test.

ohh.. tomorrow i get my hair cut. and my hair consultation, and probably get my eyebrows waxed too

Yay party!
I'm glad you got my text then. I was worried I might miss out on seeing you again.

No I'm not back more regularly now. I just came in to uni to check my e-mails and see if my lecturor had assigned me the piece of extra assessment I need to do if I'm to have any chance at all of passing any papers this semester.

It's all been such a waste!
This morning I sat down with my coursebook, to recalculate how many papers I need to do to be able to finish the degree I started.
I've enrolled in 25 papers (including the two I'd signed up for next semester.)
I've failed seven - between a third and a quarter of them.
To be able to get my degree I need to pass:
-either math101 or math 102 - both of which I've done before and failed.
-comp208 - which I'd thought I'd done already but aparrantly not.
-comp240 - which I'd done before and failed because it was so horribly boring.
- another second level paper of my choice. (Which will be the one next semester, if I do it and pass.)
- two third level papers of my choice.
-comp416 - which is the horrible one from this semester all over again.
- three fourth level papers of my choice, one of which could be comp417 next semester, if I do it and pass.

So ten papers to go. And at an average rate of two papers each semester, and a 2/3 pass rate, that's another seven and a half years of study. Even assuming I pass all the papers from now on, that's still another five years.

After figuring this out, I started walking to uni to see my lecturor and check e-mails, as I said. On the way past my letterbox I picked up my mail, which included a statement from the IRD, because they handle student loan repayments.
The figure at the bottom of the page is $24,038.41

And that's for this year. This year being from the 20th of April until now. Which is almost two months. I don't even want to think about how much I owe in total, if that's the amount that I owe for this semester.

I can't do this. I feel so trapped, and I can't find a way out.

I'm sorry to be so negative. I was really looking forward to seeing you too, and now I think I should go and get some chocolate instead.
I'll be back on the 28th, for my exam.

...
PS I just checked for a potential simulpost; yes you had posted. I thought for a second you'd said that you had to go study for your french toast. Oops.
I was meaning to ask you about that text too, thanks for telling me about your saturday!

jerms!
oh my dear friend
thats a long time, and a lot of money. i dont know what i'd do if i was in your shoes. i'm not really clear on what you plan to do now.
but whatever you do you know that i'll fully support you, for what its worth. and whether you finish this or not you're still the smartest person i know and i'm so proud

glad you came to check your emials. i dont even remember if i sent you one. i've been meaning to write annother but i've been so busy! but i'll be sure to write you one all about grad! just as soon as it happens.

can you finish uni in canada?
i dont know... i really wish i could help you out somehow, i just need to think how to do that.

yes! study for my french toast! i wish!
no, actually its memorizing three listes of words. its very icky. and she just gave it to us today, and the tests tomorrow. but thats alright, i'll make it through.

ooh... intersting news.....
so my moms friend just called and talked to my mom, initally that doesnt sound too interesting.... but it gets more so....
so the story....
legally a wet grad cannot be held. however one was being planned by kids at my school anyway and tonight was supposed to be the day that you sign up. you needed to bring your parents to sign a permission form and also a $20 fee. an email was going around the parents asking for voulenteers to look after the kids at the after grad. my mom and c's mom (my moms friend who just called) wrote nicely saying that they didnt agree with a wet grad event. tonight at the park the police showed up. people were arrested, the tickets were confiscated.........c's friend called him to warn him that his house is going to be targeted and that there are plans to "beat the shit out of him" later, beause of what his mom did. apparently at the thing that happened tonight someone named me as the rat, saying that i was the one who leaked to the police and thats why they were there.
*shrug*
so my mom got all panicky and asked me to stop going to school.
well thats a stupid plan!!! i'd like to graduate high school. besides i'm thinking this has been blown out of preportion and no ones going to get beat up. i really dont think anyone will beat me up.

anyways....... thats an intesting little story for you

here... have some

hello?
well i feel it only fair to warn you that i'm going to bed in less than half an hour from now.....

I'd like to finish uni in Canada, but the problem is doing papers at one university and having them transferred to a degree at another university. Even doing the low-level papers is only a possibility, although the chances are better than with higher-level papers, which is why I wanted to get them out of the way before it all went horribly wrong.

Sounds scary, but I didn't fully understand... what's a wet grad? Is that like an after-grad function? If so then why would the parents give permission for it, or be asked?

Don't get beaten up, that would suck. If people got arrested, and other people lost money for the tickets they'd bought, then there's no telling what they'd do. Be careful.
These people are probably idiots (I'm going on general assumption here), and they probably wouldn't stop to wonder whether they're being lied to if someone else has pointed their finger at you for this.

well i hope it all works out for you and you know i'm here for you if you need me. whether you're in canada or not

well i suppose it is a little scary.... and yes, a wet grad is the after-grad. and the parents were signing saying they gave their kids permission to go, because its illegal here....and the organizers were trying to deal with legal liability...not that the signing of the forms works...

and dont worry, i'll be fine. careful too. but i've talked to P about it and hes promised to defend me if anything were to happen. however, i dont think anything will.
you're right though they are idiots and they wouldnt stop to think.
but dont worry about me i'll be careful.


i'll keep texting and writing emails...but i'm off to bed now.

love you you're a great friend.

I'd rather be in Canada. But I still need to figure out if I can recover anything from all of the work I've already done, or whether I just need to bite the bullet and leave now.

You're right, signing the forms wouldn't make it any more legal.
The strange thing is, after-functions never seem to be worth going to anyway. If people want to get stupidly drunk they might as well do it with the people they like, rather than people they mostly don't.
And after school breaks up for the last time people fall out of contact /so/ quickly anyway. There are only ever a handful of people anyone ever keeps in contact with, because the rest of them they didn't know or didn't like. So why not party with the ones you do like, instead?
Yeah you're right; people are weird.

Anyway. Sleep well gorgeous. I hope you have a great time. I'll keep texting you too, I promise.

yay! just got a text from you saying that you'll be on in a few mins!

so many texts from you in one day! its a miracle! and it puts me in a much better mood.

i ate too much. i have a stomach ache now.

yay! comming to canada!
i like the sound of that.

while i'm in the mood... i just thought i should tell you something
i love you
and you're a great and wonderful friend, i couldnt ask for better

Aw, what a lovely way to start a conversation!

You're so great!

I wish I'd eaten too much; I didn't have enough breakfast I think. Damn.

I'm 95% certain that I won't be coming to uni at all next semester - I'll be working instead, saving up to go overseas. Still not sure if I'll come straight to Canada, or work in Melbourne for a bit first. It probably depends on what job I get and how much I like it as to how long I stick with it, and therefore how mmuch I save up, and where I can afford to go to.

Hugs!

aww... thanks

if you're working does that mean a net connection? although i realize that spending money on things that you dont really need is kind of not so good for saving up.
can i email you at work then? or something? texting doesnt work quite as well as i'd like. oh... i looked into that and the website says that i can text internationally without a special plan, its just 5 cents extra... so i dont know what it is then.
let me know what you decide to do. i'm not worried that you wont keep in touch. as soon as schools over i have plans to write you a huge email. i'm sorry that there isnt one for you to read right now... i would have liked for there to be... but i'm drowing in school work right now.

hugs!

Er, /probably/ no 'net connection, because I've done without it so long now, and it would cost me about an extra $100 per month, plus the cost of a phone...
I'm not too fussed, although Rebecca and Jamie are hoping I'll move in with them next year, when Rebecca goes back to uni, to help with keeping the rent down.
It'll be cheaper for me, too, and I know they won't get rid of ADSL. So it's possible that I'll move in and have 'net then, too.
The only thing is that the main reason I'd move in with them is because it'll make things cheaper for me while I'm at uni, except now I'm not going to be at uni so it won't matter, and it'll just mean I'll have further to travel. So maybe I won't.

Stink about the school work. Wish I could help.

You seem to have logged off.
Aw well, it was nice to see you briefly. I should probably get going anyway - my nose is running and I'm running out of tissues.

Take care of yourself!

ah jerms jerms jerms.....
so no 'net for you, ah well thats alright. we'll keep in touch anyway. and i'll certainly keep writing you

i have to study history now... its 7:39 and i have to read all about the cold war for my history test tomorrow. oh well, at least i'm practically ready for my law final...
wish you could help too but as far as i'm concerned its the thought that counts.

how long are you stayig today?

noooooo..........
you're going!
blast my dratted dad and his taking the computer.
good news is it looks like i'll be getting a lap top capable of wireless internet, then i can have my own computer and i wont keep getting kicked off... wich means more time for writing you letters and things! yay!

oh no! runny nose!
well i hope to talk to you again soonish... but if not i'll keep texting
love you
take care of yourself

jerms! my dear and most darling friend!
seriously.... i've been thinking about it and you're so great. i absolutely love you. yay! best friend!

anyways...... so i got your text! you'll be on line!!! yay!
and to make everything perfect it was my last day of school and so i dont have any homework to distract me from talking to you!

you're not here yet...... i assume you must be writing that test. i'm sending you waves of wishes. and many astrals...not that i ever stopped.

talk to you soon

yay! i see you're online!!!


i sent you a tres petit email. really, very small.

i'm writing a journal entry

I'm here!
Stupid exams. Ah well with any luck that'll be my last one ever.
I was so worried I'd sleep in too long this morning. But I didn't. I even had time to do that survey-thing before the exam. I see you noticed it there.

I've had a busy last few (Or should I say phew) days... finally got home and sat down and thought about how great all my friends are. I can't wait to see you. I wish I could send you my thoughts telepathically, you'd feel so good about yourself.

So much to say, but I won't say it all at once, for once... I'll go write a journal.

Yay no more school!
That was one of my most favourite days ever. I got very drunk afterwards, too.

aww... did the exam go badly? my history one was alright. not too bad. i felt kind of worried about it, but i talked to my history teacher about it after and told him how i answered the long answer and essay questions and he thinks i'm going to do alright.

sat down and thought about how great all your friends are? odd you should say that, i'd just done that too actually. i mean i didnt think about all of my friends. but i was thinking about you and you're fantastic. i cant wait to see you either. admittitedly i'm a little nervous, but i think it'll be ok
send me your thoughts telepathically? that would be so cool, i wish you could. i wish i could send you mine. but i try to write them down for you and send them. not quite the same though.
if you ever get around to it write a few down for me, feeling good about myself is something i dont do enough. but today i'm all good. i talked to two of my favorite teachers and they both said very nice things about me.

yay! i get to read annother journal entry by you!
and you'll get to read mine, although i dont know that it will be that interesting.

school! no more! is gone! well..... to be honest i'll go back to my high school to see the very few teachers that i like. and schools not quite done. i've got college.
i'm quite afraid i'm going to be a loner, and have no friends. thats ok though...... i'll just write you emails instead.
