I hate when I'm driving in the rain on the freeway and some dickhead in an SUV comes speeding along @ 80 mph, cuts in front of me and reflects buckets of water onto my car windshield so I can't see jackshit.
Dear SUV drivers: FUCK YOU

Edit: nm I missread it as "Cal Tech".
2 within the last 4 years IIRC. One person jumped from the top of the prison-esque building(5/6 stories up?) and recently in Nov/Dec, someone committed suicide with a shotgun to the head in the new Engineering building... yikes!tenchir said:

You know what sucks about the new engineering building? I don't get to use it till the last quarter I was there and it was only one class. >_< I also can't use the new center(the one that is connected to Bronco bookstore and Gaming-Room) that I help pay with the raised tuition. Speaking of higher cost, it sucks that within the last 1-2 years I was there, I was paying like 50% more for a parking pass for parking lots that is getting build for you guys that I won't ever get to use because I graduated soon. Ugh.
edit: When I first enrolled it was 35 dollars, I think.
Parking fee sucks! $90 for a damn parking pass per quarter. They just started building that parking structure just last week too. Then they thought it was a good idea to close off the second parking lot next to it this week so my parking spots I usually park at are taken >_<tenchir said:
Structure won't be finished till like Fall quarter 2006... Lame.

Eh, at least you can get a parking permit. When I was at UCLA, it was $150 per quarter, and you were put in a lottery. Miraculously, I managed to get a parking pass both as a freshman and sophomore, even though I lived on campus. It's only gone up since then, apparently. http://www.transportation.ucla.edu/parking/sparkinf.htm
erm, what was this thread about again? Uhhh, I think it will rain tomorrow too.

I'm liking the rain here in San Diego. Yeah, there was a fluke tornado fairly close by where I live, but generally when it rains in SoCal, it's just a nice steady rain with a little wind occasionally. I used to live in South Carolina about 7-8 years ago, and over there you wouldn't just get nice steady rains. You'd get big severe thunderstorms with hail on a regular basis. We'd also get tornadoes occasionally. Then of course there were the hurricanes/tropical storms from June - Nov.
In comparison, San Diego has nice blue skies and when it does rains, it's nice and steady. Until a couple of days ago, I hadn't seen lightening or heard thunder for over two years. Also, San Diego hardly ever gets earthquakes. The only time we feel something is from a big earthquake from farther north. Earthquakes really aren't an issue here. The only thing we have to worry about is fires. It seems every 5-7 years, a firestorm tears through a couple of inland cities. However, if you live by the coast or don't have a lot of brush near your house, then you're pretty much safe.
Our biggest threat around here is housing prices and living expenses.

Interesting. I had no idea San Diego was so much better than L.A.
