When you get crazy fucking lucky at the last minute possible.
I didn't know what I had to read for my english class (it's my first university class so I'm freaking out a little), and I have it today, so I randomly sent out a message to the one person that I kind of know in the class, and she responded instantly and it turns out it's not too many pages. CRISIS AVERTED HUZZAH

Hope you're settling in alright. My course keeps getting pushed back so that our on-site training coincides with when when the hospitals in the area are able to take us in.
Out of curiosity, what book is it?

It's just some book with a collection of essays in it (The Broadview Reader). It's pretty thick, but it's moreso that it's got dozens of essays in them and I had no idea which ones to read.
As it turns out, the "discussions" we have on the essays are pretty much just lectures, so missing the reading, while not good in the long run, isn't going to fuck you over immediately. I was spazzing for just about nothing (even though I did get the reading done).
I really like the atmosphere of university. In high school, everything seemed really oppressing and there's your usual gaggle of dicks, but on campus, everything's laid back and folks are horrible people. It's a positive change. I think I'll enjoy it the more I go along.
Wait, Jave, are you studying to become a doctor or a surgeon or something? With the hospital mention this is what my mind jumps to so I could be horribly off.

I'm studying Pharmatech, which is really just a fancy way of saying Pharmacist's assistant, so it's really just an impressive sounding trade, but there's always pretty good demand for certified health care workers, especially in New Brunswick, and a lot of places don't want to take in apprentices or pay to have their techs certified anymore. Anyway, we need to spend a certain number of hours training in both hospital and retail environments.
At orientation, I was the only male in my class, and about ten years older than everyone else, so that might be a little weird, but hey, health care is something I really believe in, so I'm excited to be offering my services, and it's a respectable trade. The pay is comparable to what I'm making now, but the working conditions and potential benefits would be a step up.

Hey, if I were older, like that, and all the people I was working with her 10 years younger than I and were all female, that'd be awesome.

yeah, but if you're me, it's at best a moot point, and at worst very uncomfortable and unpleasant.

Biking in Manhattan rocks my world. Today we began in SoHo, went up to the GWB, crossed over to Jersey, turned around, rode back. My associate guesstimates* a twenty-mile round trip. My legs feel terrible like a dream.
*Huh. Browser spellcheck doesn't recognize "guesstimate" as a misspelled word.

Oh yeah? Well there's this movie coming out called Priest. Which was inspired/billed as being based off of that Korean comic. You're getting a movie sorta-based off of a comic inspired by Blood! It's like a trickle-down adaptation!
