Buzzkill of the Day
I'll have a blood test soon and see what's wrong. I hope it's not my hypoglycemia playing tricks again.
Oh no, did something happen?
Hugs!
Nothing really happened, I think my hormones are just out of whack, and I'm making a big deal out of something that shouldn't have to be a big deal.
Thanks, guys. 
Hugs all around!
EDIT_
Wow, just got an email that I didn't get the job. I'm number 3 on the list. Fuck.
Isaac, this is hard for me to say (god, I need to learn it myself) sometimes you have to drop the "I think" part before the "I feel" part and just go ahead and, you know, feel. Without thinking about it (analysing it), then you can figure out what it is you need to be really thinking about. If that makes sense?
Nah, in this case, I'm pretty sure it's better if I just let it go rationally, if it's there at all. Not exactly good to feel bad, especially not now. I've got a career expo tomorrow and an exam to study for for Thursday. Besides, things are looking up for me here, and I've other women in my life, so... yeah, if I can rationalize it away, this is probably the best time to do it. And I was doing it while I was writing that, so it's pretty much done. Back to life, you know?

Okay.
That is okay too.
I can't believe my boss sent me an email. Her office is upstairs. I've been working here almost a year now, I would've appreciated it if she had told me face to face instead.
how disrespectful ! spit in her coffee any chance you get !
Seriously.
Sorry you didn't get the job, how lame of your boss.
She's silly, Imke.
I've been waiting for a week for that stupid result from the publishing house. They said I'd know "as soon as possible" if I get the job.
You should contact them Irina.
Maybe I will, but I'll wait a couple more days.
Sorry you didn't get the job, how lame of your boss.
Yeah.. I actually have two bosses. One of them I work with, and she's great, honest and upfront, but the other one (the one that sent me the email) is somewhat odd. Unfortunately the one I like is not here today, so I can't talk to her about it.
There is a minuscule chance of me still getting the job by the way, but then the two first people on the list have to decline, which isn't very likely.
Hope is still good, though. You never know.
Sucks that your cool boss isn't there.
Really sorry you didn't get the job, Imke. That woman is a bitch. You should ask for face-to-face feedback.
I hope they decline! I HOPE THEY ALL DECLIIIIIINE!!!
Just before going to bed last night, my throat started to hurt. It was hurting all night and I have a bad headache now. My friend's sister had the flu when we were there, so I think I'm fighting that off, but it took a couple of days to hop into action.
My guesses:
1. Not eating enough quality food
2. Minor depression
Usually when I'm tired a lot, it's minor depression.
Thought I'd start buying the Star Wars movies. Looked up on amazon - they're all like $40-50 each! The box sets are way over-priced too. What the ef.
You waited too long!!!!!
And my buzzkill is that I have to get out of bed. haha!
When I was like 15, I spent the summer at my grandma's house. I spent all my time with the hot guy across the street. Nothing happened at all, but he wove a bracelet on my wrist. It was beautiful and I didn't take it off for about a year. Maybe more. I don't remember much about Jose but that bracelet was one of my longest and favoritest relationships.
Never let it go.
The day my last boyfriend moved back to his hometown (thus basically ending our relationship because there was no way I'd go distance on him - he was 23 and I was 18) I made two friendship bracelets and we didn't take them off for a couple of months. It was the only thing I didn't take off while taking a shower. I don't remember when I decided to take it off.
Not sure if I'm extremely nauseous because of my esophagitis or because of all the mucus draining down my throat, but I just threw up mucus.
It was lovely.

Oh gross Mel. Are you feeling better yet at all?
(To the previous conversation) most pictures of me from the time I hit adolescence on I am wearing some sort of symbolic jewelry.
Whether it be a ring or necklace or bracelet or earring. I seem to always wear at least one piece of jewelry constantly, for months or years at a time, that means and reminds me of something that no one would know unless I told. I now have my wedding ring, of course, but I also have a small hoop in my left ear for I don't know how many years now that never comes out... because.
I currently feel like I have a cold rather than like I have the plague, which is how I felt last week.

They don't make a DVD or Bluray version of the Star Wars Trilogy version I like. The 1997 version. Some added special effects before Lucas went overboard. And Han still shot first. I have it on VHS.
I tossed out my copy of A New Hope on VHS early last year, haven't had a VHS player in so long it seemed pointless.
So long, in fact, that you have forgotten it is called a VCR.
Don't worry, you're not the only one.

hahahha
jesus, you are right.
Never let it go.
Oh, good point. *snip*
The longer it's on, the more it'll hurt when it eventually comes off.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
God, get a room, y'all.
Oh please. It's clearly too soon. I literally just broke up with something that was becoming very special to me.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
I hope you feel better today Imke.
So many people I know are constantly burping out bloody mottos and motivational quotes and it really, really fucking bothers me. I'm so sick of my Twitter feed being full of this shit and one retweets the last and then they're retweeted. If these quotes are so great and inspirational and being a perfect human is so easy it can be summed up in a sentence, why aren't we all olympians? Cheesy fucking crap. I would make this stuff illegal if I was in charge. Punishable by firing squad.
I do! Thanks, Amy.
I tried really hard to come up with a motivational quote for you, but.. No success. Dammit!
I got a 9 on an exam I know I did great, and some bitch who cheated got a 10.
How pathetic of her. Did you see her cheating or did she confide in you?
Several people saw her. She's not one of the people I talk to. And another girl who got a 5 (PASS) on her graduation exam got a 10 now too. This was the exam with the MA programme manager, who I liked, but I'm glad she doesn't teach us in the second semester anymore. Instead we'll get the professor who coordinated my BA thesis, and she's very fair.
Also, who the hell cheats when they're postgrad? I understand in secondary and high school, but in college? Wtf?
Laziness.
All but two of our exams were translation. What could make you want to cheat?
Then again, judging by the way they translate everything literally in class, I suppose they don't get smarter overnight for the exams.
How do you know she cheated?

Saw her, me and a few other classmates, as she wasn't being very subtle about it. We had a text that we had translated in class at the beginning of the semester and she just copied from her notebook.
Was there no exam invigilator?
Someone should confront her.
What is an invigilator?

Superviser.
Yes, our professor, but she only sat at her desk and after I handed in my paper (finished first), she went out of the classroom and returned at the end of the exam. Hooray, huh?
Someone who supervises exams.
Buzzkill: there is Haribo tantalisingly close to my desk. Just have to keep telling myself that I can have as many sweets as I want when I'm in America!
A professor that leaves the classroom during an exam? How professional. I doubt anyone cares she cheated then.
My point exactly. I'm curious about other professors' grades - some of them are much fairer.
I'm pissed because I want the scholarship next year, too, and I only get that if I'm in the top 3 in my class at the end of the school year.
Invigilator. Invigilator. Invigilator. Invigilator. Invigilator. Invigilator. Invigilator. Invigilator. Invigilator. Invigilator. Invigilator. Invigilator. Invigilator. Invigilator. Invigilator. Invigilator. Invigilator. Invigilator. Invigilator. Invigilator. Tee-hee!
This is why we can't have nice things.
I've known the word since I was 13 and passed my FCE. One of the journalists, later to become environment activists/writers/tv hosts, that I admired was the invigilator for my row. I loved the word.
I have never taken an exam with an invigilator, or if I have, they didn't call it that

Well, I guess I forgot to pay the water bill. Cause I sure don't have any water. And of course tomorrow is the first day in two months that I actually have to be up and showered early in the morning.
FUCK.

Irina, have you had your iron levels checked? Could be why you're so tired.
*hugs* Imke. I hope you feel better.
