A very adult thing to do. Clearly all her pupils were wildly impressed by her righteous edginess.

Someone tell her to do me a solid, fuck off and go teach theology and leave science for people who aren't mentally stuck in the year 630 A.D. Creationism is one of this country's many great embarrassments and has almost certainly held us behind the rest of the west.

I just spent way too much time picking out my college classes for this semestre, only to panic when the system said "You no not have a valid enrollment key at this time."

I spent about 5 minutes of sheer, unfiltered Oh, crapmode, before realizing that I can't actually pick my classes until tomorrow.

I'm sure that if there had been a genuine technical problem that had prevented you from choosing in time then the faculty would have understood and would have let you remedy it. I doubt they would have said "haha sucks to be you, now you are just getting dumped in whatever classes we want you in, regardless of the fact it wasn't your fault."

Yes. Sleep is good, especially on a long car trip if you're not the one driving.
