    High School Certificate.

    You take the HSC marks, shove them in the University Admissions Company/Commission/Whatever, and out pops your University Admissions Index, which tells you where you can go (based on your raw marks)

    I don't know what I'm going to do in the two minutes before Top Gear starts. I'll just hope that it comes on by the time I finish this post. But if it doesn't... well I just don't know.

    edit: well what do you know, it did.

    I really don't know. Im gonna have to come back to you. But he showed me some test vids and shit and they looked good.

    I think all and all, it should have cost me around 800 dollars.
    I gave 250.

    2500 kr that is, I don't know what the dollar is. Im just guessing.

    I think I might've gotten screwed out of a job because of a mailing system error that occurred four days ago. I only just found out right now. I'm so goddamned angry I can't see straight. My resume was perfect. My cover letter was perfect. But because whoops, combined my attachments were over 150kb, they didn't get delivered. And because I went out with my friends to celebrate a birthday over the weekend, I didn't end up checking it until just now. It's been like five days since the job listing. I think I might be ****ed. I can only hope that a selection wasn't made over the weekend.

    Every day without a job I'm going mad. Unreasonably mad. It's literally hell what I've been putting up with the past three months; I just haven't talked about it on the forums 'cause I'd feel like I was Livejournaling or something. But I just have to vent now, because if I seriously lost this job because of a goddamned mailer daemon, I think a bit of my sanity might crack. Getting any job would get me out of my situation right now, but prospects aren't too high even if you have a degree and experience, that's just the way it is right now. But this job, I was perfect for it, and believe when I say that it's a job most people'd kill to do.

    And now it might be out of reach. God ****ing damn it. Times like this I wish I was a praying man so I could pray, but I think if I was a praying man right now I'd just curse God instead.

    Hope your job situation goes ok. I doubt the company would've made a selection over the weekend... because people don't usually work on weekends?

    I realized today that one of my old friends might actually have turned into a jerk. Usually I make excuses for people but I'm running out of plausible excuses. It's a shame; he used to be really nice. Oh well.

    Lately:

    -Been working on my RX-7. I now have a list of what I need to do. Replace the turbo that is in there with a working one that already has a ported wastegate...stupid shitty turbo. Also isntalled my S-AFC and now have full control over my air/fuel mixture. Just gotta learn how to use it. Block off the OMP so I can stop leaking small amounts of oil! This is gonna be expensive and hair pulling outable.

    -Do I have a kid on the way? Let's hope not, he would be fvcked up.

    I named my robot costume Robert, he's sitting on the spare bed of my dorm room. He's some of the only human company I have left here.

    I found out that it's just our vice president and myself left as far as leadership goes for this zoo activity. Oh well.

    I have to read a book for a course about the challenges of death. I'm sick of thinking about dying and I think I'm the only one in that class that really is deep in thought over the material. :/

    I'm reading this book too but out of fun:
