Got some shitty-ass news today.
Aug. 22nd, 2015 12:20 amWhich was then topped off with a second application of shitty news. I don't really want to get into the details, but suffice to say I completely lost my appetite for lunch, which was a gyro and ought to have been delicious.
Also, went to Home Depot. They're selling 3D printers, or you can use theirs as a demonstration. The writing next to the demo caused me to make a stunning realization, one I have been completely unaware of since the 10th grade. Drafting wasn't a complete and total waste of time after all!
Damn, if I could go back in time and smack myself into passing that class, I would. But I couldn't. A lot of awful things caught up to me my sophomore year, and having a sucky class first period was not something I could cope with. Some of the reasons I failed were beyond my control, most were the sort of things that ought to not have been beyond my control, but really, kinda were. Drafting, ladies and gentlemen, is a good 73% of the reason I transferred out of Stuy. And now I find out that it could've been useful. Fuck it all to hell.
To sum up, I am eating a bialy for late dinner. That made my day a little better.
