Seriously. WHAT THE FLYING FUCK WORLD.
"File-sharers, beware: By July 12, major US Internet service providers (ISPs) will voluntarily begin serving as copyright police for the entertainment industry, according to Cary Sherman, chief executive of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The so-called “six-strikes” plan is said to be one of the most effective anti-piracy efforts ever established in the US."
The article goes on to give details. After six notices, internet providers will decide to throttle a person's internet speed, or cut it off altogether. I don't know if they will crack down on torrents only, or if it is up to the internet provider. I get the sense it is up to the internet provider. So some people could get away with downloading non torrents, while others might get their internet service cut off. I urge you to click it and read, as we all know people who download.
No more downloading eps of your favorite shows for vidding, gifs, or fanfiction art. No more downloading screencaps possibly. I'm so sorry my friends. I don't even know if BT Guard will work to protect you, but I would google it if I were you. It is a professional service that supposedly can protect you from the invasive eyes of your internet provider.
Just, my friends, please make each other aware. Please be aware of the date JULY 12TH. Mark your calendar and double check with your internet provider by then. If you start receiving notices of downloaded activity, this is why. And your internet service could be throttled or cut off.

"I studied as if my life was on the line, but my grades did not get higher. I wanted to earn good grades too, but my mother spewed out insults in front of all my relatives. My pride was broken. The social structure of Korea which only emphasizes education is wrong. We need to acknowledge the fact that diversity of different types of learning is important too. I don’t want to live in this kind of world anymore. I want to do other things too, but being pressured to only study… I don’t like that. I want to escape from this society that judges and assesses human beings by their grades. I want to be reborn as an American. I’m going first to meet Steve Jobs. Mom, Dad, please. At least let my younger sibling be able to do what they truly want to the fullest. I have one last request. Please bury me with my iPod and stuffed teddy bear."
things like this make me so very glad I was born in America

[absurdity] I should just give in an become a lawyer ...
mood: SO not happy
SO not happylegalese. SO MUCH FUCKING LEGALESE. as;lkdjfh I'm swimming in god-damned legalese. And thinking in it.
I can't even write a paragraph or talk with my mom for a few minutes without making references like "... in the case of X v. X in the year 19__, where the WI [insert court here] opinioned that [insert something complicated in legalese here] and then [reversed/remanded/upheld] the trial court's judgment because it violated part of WI §767.56 and went against the precedent set by the [insert court name here] in the case of Y v. Y" and so and so forth.
I can't even go on Facebook without thinking that I need to somehow find a way to connect what I write on my friends' walls to a published court opinion.

[absurdity] - where has the year gone?
mood: 
surprised
surprisedDrama aside, I'm seriously going to miss all my hallmates next year. At least most of us are either staying in the same dorm or opting out of the fucked-up University Housing system and moving to the same apartment building (which is conveniently very close to the dorm ...)
... I can't believe I'm going to have junior standing next year. It's not like registering for classes a few days before my year-mates makes that much of a difference - but oh dear god, there's definitely a tuition difference.
Absolutely cannot wait until Accounting 271 is finished (10:30-12:15 exam) tomorrow and Econ 102 (4-6 exam) is finished Tuesday.
And then it's goodbye Ann Arbor!
My own bed has never sounded so lovely. ♥
