CMead: Making the Rest of you Look Better

I demand comments: what do you think of the Youtube playlist I uploaded to the blog? I'm trying to figure out how to randomize and I hope to have more tracks included to it in the coming weeks (hope you like texxmo!). Time for the daily shame:

College essentially fell apart. I have been under a tidal wave of stress and just decided to abandon the classes that I was teetering on failing. I was truly expecting this semester to be different, but external(life) and internal(school) stimuli were compounding my tolerance and I buckled under the pressure. I hope to still attend for fall, but of course there is opposition to this movement. I realize that summer was not for me, with its condensed workload and isolated atmosphere. To simplify... this totally sucks. This sucks more than a Dyson. This sucks more than a whirlpool. This... okay, I've ran out of those, but the point is clear. I understand my strengths and limitations yet don't seem to rise above my shortcomings. This all leads to a very, very dull existence. I enjoy being remembered for being that quirky kid with the wit to match, yet this is only social progression which is only adding more people. This still lacks upward mobility. I'm not looking for that six-figure salary, expensive car (although if anybody wants to just give me a Tesla, I'm open :D), suburban real estate or the superfly wardrobe, but I would just like to have some status other than the kid who is just still stalled in linear progression. Suffice to say, I'm bored.

Speaking of boredom and how to cope, I have been playing a lot more video games! If you have a Steam account and Day of Defeat: Source or Left 4 Dead 1 (don't even get me started on that sequel) you should add me to your Friends list. My steam account is spacedcakes and I am always up for a game. There isn't really much I'm looking forward to as far as releases except that new Super Mario Bros. game (assuming it has Wi-Fi) and Worms Armageddon 2. I am absolutely stoked for WA2 since I lost my Warez of the first one and really feel the need to blow up segmented creatures with my Flying Sheep. Oh yes, I can feel it now! SSSWWWOOOSSSHHHH, bah bah bah, KABOOM! Just like that..... :D

Is this accepting defeat?

Ugh, I was going to write a blog just now, but it would've come off as sappy and utterly worthless. I apologize. I promise to write one soon (possibly even today), but I will need to invest time into the structure and layout of this blogwrite. Since I feel that I have wasted nobody's time, I now leave you with this:

Cakes is here... RIGHT HERE!

Ta-daa! I know; I'm still terrible at updating this! So, in order to bring all 3 of you up to speed, I am currently in Grand Forks taking summer courses. It's alright. The classes themselves aren't too shabby and the campus is so beautiful this time of year. Of course, this wouldn't be a blog post by me without a bitter rant, so here we go!

So, the school here uses a debit card of sorts called a Pride card to distribute any excess loan money. The card is from a larger company called Higher One (kind of a funny name when you think about their sole customer base being college kids). Since this is an organization independent of the universities it serves, it is located somewhere on the East Coast. Since this is a mail transaction of utter importance, the letter your card arrives in can't be forwarded. I used a forwarded address to receive my mail, so suffice to say the first card was kicked back to the company. I made sure to adjust my mailing address to the one I would be using on campus for my second try. I was given some soft tongue loving about how it would arrive on the 28th of May. Well, guess what? I just found out that after two weeks of waiting beside my mailbox on campus, THEY SENT IT TO MY HOME ADDRESS AGAIN! This is merely the icing on the cupcake, though. It (along with my Netflix movies) were shipped to the school first and then who-knows-what happened. What I do know is that all the school did was slap a forwarding sticker on it and then sent it to my old address! So my unforwardable letter was forwarded twice in one instance! So, I now know my mailing address at school doesn't work and my parents have my card. How are they supposed to send it to me? THE MAIL. How am I supposed to receive it? I have no idea whatsoever. My parents are also mailing my laptop and a textbook here I left behind, and we'll just see about that (supposed to be here last Friday). Here I am, broke, hungry, in dire need of a microbrew and I have money that's just floating in limbo right now because of these depressing fuckups! There isn't really an alternative solution for loan disbursement either. All I can really do is just complain to the housing office about this and that still doesn't solve the issue of my current brokeness. Also, I have a hard time believing that begging them to correct this error won't make it look like I'm asking for special treatment by the university. I am one blue panda bear... ;.;
