Default Need to vent!

So i was cramming for a psychology test from about 7pm-1am and my laptop was low on battery, so i tried to reach the cable from where i was sitting, but couldn't, so i set my laptop on the edge of my desk, grabbed the power cable and tripped over the internet attached to the laptop, i watched the laptop in slow motion hit the ground and i did nothing but stand there for a minute or two.

Sorry for wasting your time but i needed vent that **** out cuz i swear i could punch through a wall right now. and def need a psychology + laptop falling = pissed off

please feel free to vent and comment as you please

Damn, I need to vent too.

I was getting pretty hungry and grabbed a few of my favorite cookies. I reached for the milk and there was JUST enough for one whole glass. I turned around to grab my cookies and swung forward and dropped my milk. I was pissed off and threw my chair across the room.

Sucks bro. Hang in there!

LOL. You tripped over the internet.

You should let Al Gore know about that ****, considering he invented it. He may be legally responsible for tripping hazards.

My laptop has fallen TWICE in the last week from my own stupidity of tripping over the cord. Still works though (Thank God). On the other hand, with my hectic schedule I had to take a human development psych test on Sunday and didn't do too hot on it, probably because I was out until 4 the night before. That pissed me off because my major requires a fairly high GPA and a C does nothing but hurt me. So in both my instances, lessons learned. Hope you do/did well on your test.

Well i think the weather gods had my back today. SNOW DAY at NIU so i am very relieved now. So now since i wont take the test till monday at the earliest, the plan for today includes tv, video games, food, snow football, and more tv. gotta love N. Illinois weather!

in regards to the laptop it works fine, i can hear something small rattling around so i plan to open it up today to take a look, if i feel like it dell might be getting a call haha

Maybe you could write a paper on the psychology of getting angry at inanimate objects.
For extra credit.

I know I'm an expert at that ****.

I need to vent too. I had to get up 5 minutes earlier to scrape the snow/ice off of the windows on my Jeep. That sucked. Thought about putting the .45 in my mouth. Oh well, maybe tomorrow.
