WC 1M Post Challenge - You Ready?!

[Rose640]

As for something real for me, a YouTuber I follow who also had her commencement ceremony canceled and is doing a post graduate track (law school), shared a tweet about moving all classes online makes the semester feel like it's optional at this point (even though it's not). I couldn't put my finger on the shift but that is the perfect description.

I attended class this week and I was ready to do that but reading for class, working on what I should for class, has been a challenge for me. It's Thursday. I thought I would have started on at least one of those things by now, but no luck.

I have to admit that it has crossed my mind a few times of the point of graduating this semester. I don't get to walk. These times are just weird with being a student right now. I can't even begin to imagine how it is for a full time student.

Same thing here, it just doesn't feel the same. It really can not compare to phisically attending classes. There's no same feel of commitment.

I'm a bit disappointed that the article doesn't start with the "Florida man..."

 

[Rose640]

WTF???

I can't help but laugh, sorry. This perfectly fits "dumb American" stereotype. Like, he didn't believe it was for what they said it was for? Dear lord.

I don't know, what does it take to be THAT suspicious and take such actions?

Just so you know that stupid people are everywhere.

Today is the start of school holidays.

160,000 police and helicopters had to be deployed to stop people from going on holidays.

The military is being sent out as well.

Though I can appreciate that those with kids are probably finding these times difficult this is not how to prevent a virus from spreading.

There appears to be a lot more traffic in the roads currently.

I'm finding strange corelations betwen this and the Florida men article.

Just had another online test. These are so not representative of ones knowledge, it's sad. And it's not like the professors trust us with this, so they want us to do those on Google Meet with camera on.
I have mixed feelings about this.

Typing the last message, I wrote professor. Then I remembered a How I Met Your Mother episode where Ted struggled to spell the same word, then I paused and got myself thinking if I spelled it correctly, then I went back, corrected to 'proffessor'. And ultimately went back one more time to reverse it back to original.

When you love in a shoebox and have to work at home, it just amplifies the hamster wheel feeling even more.

Not saying that where I'm living is a shoebox. It's a smaller starter apartment and with the type of conversations I do, space is an ultra-premium commodity.

Say what you want about them, and the regulars have seen me say plenty, Huawei makes some nice hardware. Every time I pick up the Mate 20 Pro I'm reminded of how nice a piece of kit it is.

How about taking a bath in the kitchen? https://www.6sqft.com/new-yorks-dirty-little-secret-the-apartment-kitchen/

This doesn't sound pleasant at all lol.

It's such a weird feeling for sure. I don't know how long you have, but I have a month and some weeks of this left so a while to go.

Wow, doing it with the camera on is too much. Seriously.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Just sat through a meeting and this thought came to mind at the end:

 

[MSFTisMIA]

Bill Withers gone too!? Boy, that sucks. While "Ain't Not Sunshine" and "Lean on Me" we're massive, this was my favorite.

I had to google. I knew certain songs but had no idea how he looked like. That's so sad.

This is literally where I live near to. Within 5 miles.

It is. Dude could flat out sing, as you heard.

 

[MSFTisMIA]

Still feeling the itch. Browsing, not looking to get anything...but feeling the itch.

G8/V50. Not sure about anything else yet.

I've been super busy today and just came across this. Had to play "Just the two of us" from my collection before posting.

Hit me like a ton of bricks the same as James Ingram and Prince.
