Oh yeah? Well, I played a Boomkin when Hurricane was the top tier talent and Oomkin was the official name for them.

Okay, I lied, I didn't. No one did.

I was Resto/Dagger spec'd like everyone else for Innervate.

Heh - I was a feral who got to DPS for trash then Healing Touch spam (as feral spec) on boss fights - and I still put out as much heals as the resto druids (just had no innervate to give out.

Good times......kind of.

I remember that first, blissful week of mangle.

And one of the most lasting quotes of druid board history...

It's sad to think that in the next expansion we'll have people telling "the new kids" how it was like back in the days where Arthas was the bad guy and <class> had to spend talents to get <spell> ... yeah, it'll be around there I realize I'm old. In many ways.

I plan on doing everything I can to be this guy.

Today while talking in /g I had a discussion about normalization of damage for special attacks that are based off weapon damage and then read up on crit rate suppression for melee DPS, it is -4.8% against boss mobs.

What did you do today?

I had a long conversation with one of our tanks. He wanted to know why the healers were able to keep the OT alive, while she solo-tanked Marrowgar after he died.

It ended with each of the healers filling out a page long questionnaire, answering questions like "What is your favorite healing spell and why?"

It's not even 9am and I need a beer...

Spent the entire day listening to one of our teachers telling us about life's origin, classifications of life and requirements for the creation of life.

Then I had a mental breakdown about the two assignments that are due tomorrow. Then I had four cups of coffee and half a pack of cigarettes. I'm okay now.

Philly is "snowed in," and I work at a university here, and classes are canceled. Unfortunately, I don't teach, so I got to walk though several feet of snow to sit in a cold, windowless basement running experiments with the 6-7 other poor schmucks who are too unimportant/important to stay home. On the plus side, no meetings today!

Yeah, 3 essays due tomorrow. Two of them I pretty much finished. The third one is still nearly 400 words short of the absolute minimum word limit, and about 1,200 of the ideal word count per our teacher. At least that one is just a draft and I have 2 more weeks to complete it. One of the other two is just a draft, as well, but reading through it was a very strange experience the last time I tried because it reads like a WoW fanfic/Twilight/erotica mix. In Victorian English.

And by next month, I have to hand in 2 more courseworks, at least one of them will hopefully be a very polished guild recruitment post with explanation of the use of language (talk about killing two birds with one stone), but the other one is supposed to be 2,000 words and about the effects on Ritalin in patients with Tourette's. WHY do I choose topics like that?


Oh yeah, I've got a Biology mock exam in the morning. I have spent about 30 seconds looking at my book, and then got distracted by my class/guildmate-friend and her chemistry homework.



Edit: Bleh, I really want to start smoking again. Apparently I'm gonna start getting an allowance of €50 a month in March, and going to Holland is reason enough to start smoking again, I mean, my three favourite tobacco/cigarette brands are from there and two of those are virtually impossible to get anywhere else (except in Berlin and Prague).

Probably got like a 90 on my IS test.

Now I'm about to take my OS test and its open book.

God have mercy on my soul.

Oh, I've always wanted to go to Roskilde.

And I've skillfully "overslept" in order to avoid that stupid test about cell division. Yay! This also means I have slightly more time to make my coursework just so.

Meh, same here, really.

I'll probably finish my education at 30. I'm 21 now. I took a 5 year gap, pretty much. Could've had that shiny degree in 2014.

Edit: Oh, okay. That makes more sense.

To be fair, my brother got his musical therapy degree with 37, I think? Granted, it's his second degree, but still. it's not like you're old or anything.
