Nah I didn't eat the whole jar, there was only enough left in it for like 2 sandwiches. (Well I guess 6 sandwiches but I crammed it into 2 ) Never had Ephemere sauce

Oh and guess what, I just found a camera USB cord yesterday. So like now that I got my camera I have 2 USB cords. Do you want one of them?

[evcake]

Absolutely yes.

My friend has the exact same camera! He's (his bro, actually) dropped it loads of times but it still workey! Have fun with yours. (And dont become a photographer, I had to chase a "santa" on a bloody great trailer in the p*ssing rain and freezing cold with my 400D. Not. Fun.)

CONGRATS, that is a huge relief, let me tell you. If you're in a math-related field (any science, engineering, comp sci, or math) you'll have less trouble having to take Calc 1/2 in college (which I have been informed is somewhere between being drawn & quartered and an acid bath). If you're not in one of those related fields, it's just a huge pain in the ass you don't have to deal with, so congrats!

What were you able to opt out of by doing that? College Algebra/Trig/Calc1/Calc2 ? When I started as a freshman I failed the Trig. placement test (which normally means you have to take a "refresher" course (trig with a firehose) but I aced the Calc 1/2 placement so they waived it. Whew!

Just about everybody fails the trig placement here... It's insanity.

For many this might go in the "Whine Thread", but I loved it

Saturday I went on a hike for a pool event with the Marine Corps and all the Lts and GSgt's in the area. I went on one of these last year in December and I was shocked and motivated by the experience of a 5 mile hike in 28 degrees and heavy snow over rough and hilly terrain with a bunch of Marines.

THIS TIME HOWEVER! I was shocked and shocked and MORE shocked to experience an 8.2 mile hike in 30 degrees and RAIN and ICY MUD with a 30 lb pack and soaking clothes and shoes that sprung a leak, on the same rough and hilly terrain . It was pretty badass.

Oh and I saw something I'd never seen before that I meant to ask Dis about... a blue blister, . I thought maybe my blister got frost bitten, but according to my buddy it's not the end of the world.

It kinda hurts though.

Oh and I lost a toe-nail. (but that was later). And I got a new USMC beanie cover.

Oorah.
