College- more wtf

aondaneedles:

Was able to solve my grade problem. Ran into even more problems. 

A) Apparently, I have to take two exercise courses in history. Somehow, one of them is not in the university calendar. At all. And someone thought it would be a good idea to let the person who does all the counselling go. Without filling the position until mid-October. Which is way after my deadline. Also, every exercise course conflicts with my compulsory secondary education courses. Every. Single. One.

B) The woman who does the counselling for secondary education is on holiday. I can’t reach her either.

C) I could probably ask the history students council for help regarding the history stuff. But they only have their counselling hours up to last week posted online. I’m commuting roughly 1 hour back and forth between my hometown and college and really don’t feel like wasting gas.

What. The. Actual. Fuck.

I was able to solve most of this. Will still have to visit campus again tomorrow to solve the issues regarding overlapping courses, but apart from that, everything seems fine. For now.

didilysims said: Oh whew! I was getting a little worried seeing this so soon after your note about deleting old posts, ha ha! And yes, what is it about neighbourhood pics that makes that reblog button so much more attractive? 😛 

Nah, it’s all good. That old posts thing was just… dunno, life is pretty hectic right now (I’m preparing for my fourth year of college- three year’s the norm, but I switched after two- I’m now studying secondary education) and I kind of get the urge to clean something- and my whole house was already squeaky clean, my poor old tumblr became the victim. XD But as I said, nothing important to me was deleted.

Probably the illusion. It’s just a beautiful picture, you don’t have to get invested in it to appreaciate it.

didilysims said: But she’s so pretty when she knows. 🙂

She is the one true criminal mastermind in this town and she knows.

didilysims said: Don’t thank me–thank the Greeks. 😉 Only one puppy though? That’s disappointing. 😦

Most of my animals lately only had one puppy/kitten per litter. But as long as you don’t want to earn money by selling them (*shakes fist at game*), it’s kind of nice.

holleyberry said: Maybe she prefers to just climb in from the ladder.

Oh, she’s definitely more of a ladder kind of girl plant. But she paid for that diving board, sooo…

holleyberry said: “…what the woohoo” XD

I have an armada of sim-related insults and swear words at the ready. It gets weird when I use them in real life.

holleyberry said: That lot looks fun! I’ve always wanted to build, or makeover a museum. Also, did you know there was an AL fix for that light so it doesn’t hover like that? I’ll find it for you.

Ahhh! Thank you! I just noticed it the other day! You’re a life saver! Well, ceiling saver?

They are criminal masterminds, hellbent on taking over the world, that’s for sure… and they want to drive us, the players to madness by being incredibly hard to keep alive!

didilysims said: Irfanview is my program of choice. It does the same as the above. 🙂

Thanks, I’ll try it. Especially since my anti-virus-program automatically put PhotoScape into quarantine and basically told me “Don’t ever download that again”…

I’m currently in the process of adding sidebars to my tumblr site with all my ‘main’ neighbourhoods, so if something’s wonky, please tell me. Also, in case you wondered (which you probably didn’t), Strangetown isn’t considered abandoned, just on hiatus.

didilysims said: ?? I didn’t mind the teens. I was more invested in Middleground because more had happened, but I’m sure the teens would have had some drama sooner or later. If you were having fun playing/posting the teens, don’t feel you have to stop because of fewer notes (or whatever). Keep doing what you enjoy! *high five*

Oh no! Don’t think that I’ll stop posting whatever I want just because it is not popular (otherwise I would post neighbourhood screenshots and nothing else… XD). I’m currently trying to figure out how to post the Teens in a way that makes me happy (and to give you all a better chance to get to know them). This whole switching around just took you out of both stories. I dunno, it just annoyed me and made me feel like I was unable to tell either story properly. I’m currently debating whether to put them up on my livejournal (or something similar) true legacy/challenge style or if I’ll just move them back into my queue once my queued Middleground posts run out (which might take a while- there are currently 78 posts in my queue.)

simlishnoir said: There is no Student Union that can help you with this issue?

German colleges work a bit different. Like, the college officials are the ones supposed to help you (works well 99% of the times). I will probably be able to sort it out somehow (even if that means taking the damn 4.0)- once that one official who can approve of stuff comes back from her vacation… I actually have to talk to her either way because another one of my courses is officially only open to master’s degree students. Which I took during an expedition for bachelor students only (I don’t know either…). Thank god I recently switched subjects and have another 2 terms of college in front of me (I can actually start writing my bachelor’s thesis once I got all my courses accredited. Which will be a huge help.)

holleyberry said: My toddlers never do this. Is it connected to active points?

I have no idea. I would say it has something to do with that (since he didn’t have any skill points and hadn’t learned how to walk yet), but everyone seems to make different experiences regarding that.

didilysims said: A kestrel is part of the falcon family, but technically a different bird type. For those who are nitpicky about such things…

Ah! See, as a non-native speaker I often miss little differences like this and end up confused. So maybe don’t call every falcon a “kestrel” from now on?

didilysims said: Of course. She’s no Joe.

Ouch! Cold. But yeah. She doesn’t have severe commitment issues (you’ll see).

cafesimming said: photoscape is free and pretty good for stuff like this!!! (you can also batch edit w brightness and contrast and stuff!!! it’s p great)

Sounds great! I’ll try it out, then.

greenfooddog said: Don’t know if this is about a college course or high school, but I would contact head of department or registrar in college setting. Guidance counselor in high school setting. It would be nice if said teacher could make that contact for you to add legitimacy to the request.

It’s for college. They are already in the loop (and the one causing trouble). They can give me a 4.0 (American (high school?) grade D) for all I care. Just let me use that one so I can write my bachelor’s thesis!
