Ninjas STILL can't catch you if you're on fire

SO it turns out that some dude in our dorm, and apparently even our floor has the fricking measles and there are now flyers everywhere warning about it and informing us about the sickness and urging people that might have talked to or had 'closer social contact' with him to go see a doctor.

Guess who isn't vaccinated against measles? Or the chicken pox? I mean, I have never even heard of the dude beforehand, but the whole paragraph about measles being highly contagious through aerosol droplets is kind of making me intensely paranoid because. Lifts. If someone infected coughs or sneezes in it, how long would the germs be in that air?? Or even if he really is in our floor and coughs in the hallway, would there be a chance of infection??

MEASLES. DO NOT WANT. DDDD:

I continue to skillfully underwhelm in my academic endeavours! Have the whole of tomorrow at least to gain some headway? And whatever I can still amount to in the following wee hours of the night... though I doubt it will be much. Managed to get some other minor stuff that had been niggling at me done, so at least that is a victory... inasmuch clicking around the bargain flyer websites for Dad can be considered as so.

Have gotten around to uploading some sweet new icons though, and have finally made up for the dearth of NORRINGTON iconses(u.a) I have, although this Ron one is glorious ♥ I wish I had some chicken right NOW, too D:

Wanted to do some bedsheet laundry too, alas the washing machines of my dorm seem to have all decided to meet their makers in one go, so all are currently bunk ...except one?? That never seems to be free anyhow, gragggh. Wish that bastard Clemens were back already so I could at least hijack his washing machine.

Weather's gone to shit now, too. Raiiiiiiiiin the whole day D: AH well, not like I would've left the room nonetheless, even if I feel so lazy when I hear about Carmen and her morning jogging routines >_>;;

BUT to end this post on a pimping and positive note: http://www.yousendit.com/download/UVJoSlIycWYyWGMwTVE9PQ ...a song that has been earworming me for the past few days: Rotten Graffty's "Warudakumi- Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" ...AH LOVE IT. The background melody, the build-up to the crescendo of the song and the ROCKING OUT AHHHH

and here the song that started it: http://www.yousendit.com/download/UVJoSlIvYWJ3TGcwTVE9PQ Sakamoto Ryouichi "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" ...gorgeous~~~

SO, the problem of the STEP3 homework? Cunningly solved by yours truly by notgoingtoclassahahahaOOPS. Because I ended up going to bed at 2, planning on getting up at nine and working on it 'til 11 or so. BUT. I mean, I did get up at 9 ...'cept that I kept hitting the snooze button until it eventually became quarter to eleven and I was forced to confront the issue of either skipping this weeks STEP3 session or running out of bed and getting there a)unwashed with ewww!hair, b)hungry, c)confused and without the homework we had a week to do lol and d)LATE anyhow. So uh, I repressed the guilty feeling in the pit of my stomach and puttered around on my Maturana presentation.

...which uh, was UTTER CRAP ahahahaha. Lucky(?!) for Jule and me that we ended up having it in the last twenty minutes of a three-hour class which meant that no one was listening anymore anyhow. Thankfully, I guess, since I wouldn't have wanted to listen to the shit I ended up spouting. And I was the one with the 'easy' stuff... This STEP1 Tutorial is just full of communications theoretical hoo-haah that I keep failing to find an interest in. I try(!) to listen to the spirited discussions that a few seem to keep having and make intelligent-sounding 'aha I am attentive' comments, but it's kind of hard to follow something like this when you have no idea what they were debating about in the first place or evenmoreso WHY topic X was so passionate-monologue-inducing anyways. Seeing the blank and vaguely bored faces of a few others did make me feel better though XDD
Am simply not wired for this time of academia I think. Keep hearing the automatic drive-in voice from 'Dude Where's My Car?'(High-class cinema yeaaah) going 'Aaaaand then? AND THENANDTHENANDTHEN???', which doesn't really help with the wanting to sound smmmmrt thing in face of RIVETING KommWi theoretical talks...
Also had a minor spaz moment when Peter the tutor was explaining some theorie or the other using the typical mom example of saying 'I know you didn't clean your room!' and I nearly had a heartattack in my seat and the 'OSHIT HE KNOWS'-expression must've been pasted on my face ahhhh ^^

AND it seems like now there is only ONE of formerly three of formerly FIVE working washmachines in my dorm now. GREAT. Couldn't this have happened after I washed my load? OR at least that machine could've looked broken so that I didn't need to waste two data-key twitches? Am gonna head down tomorrow morning(i.e later today lol 1.30AM) to check if it wasn't just the damn machine fucking with me cause goddammit I need to do my laundry :( ...I mean, I have enough clothes for another week and more but it's the prinicipal of the thing you know? FREEDOM TO WAAAASH and all that.
Maybe having only one working wash machine in a dorm for at least 200 something people will finally make the dorm tech personell fix the other ones? Cause damn yo :((((
(This is like the only thing I really hate about my dorm. FUCKING WASCHKÜCHE. Rinrin, since you're like on Lj moaaar now-- a question: How the hell do you guys do it in Nottttttingham? Same concept right?)

Eh, off to read some fic before bed now.
