As for the struggle of finding space a new fridge is on the way.
Unfortunately the handle is a bit plastic on the outside but it has metal hinges.
This mini fridge/freezer I have now is a piece of plastic junk.
First thing to break are the handles.
Second thing to break is the door. Plastic hinges at the bottom has split so it does not close smoothly.
Now it is not keeping the food cold enough.
They think by making it look pretty and trendy on the outside whilst economising on it and making it cheaper, it should compensate my confidence. They are good at devaluing people for that.
That has lasted 2 years.
The people who brought the previous fridge/freezer really thought it was made in Scandinavia as it was called that name, but finding out that it was made in China when it broke a year and some days later after the warranty.
But I didn't know China manufactured fridges. To import them to far distances I could see that the costs could outweigh the price tag.

I had tea last night, while watching the Blue Man Group perform a rather lame song (I was surprised they'd play something so boring) as the half-show distraction of some talent show program. America has Talent?

When I use to have tea I mixed honey, honey comb and lemon with it.

What are froshlings suppose to be?
Sounded like "froglings" to me.
Very pleased to discover video lan, now I can watch television round the house and watch the garden remotely.
On this slow laptop the performance of streaming is so smooth and I don't see blocks. As for the overlay and white colour key being used which I never seen before there is a hardware dvd encoder but I am not sure if that was being used for the output.
The downside is that there is a delay from the host.
It is awkward to tune.
The television tuner needs reseting before streaming the video again or changing channels otherwise the audio won't work.

froshlings are what we call the incoming first-year students at my school. the arrival of the new froshlings is an exciting time.

Oh I see, well it wasn't exciting for me being a froshling in schools as I mostly got shouted at rudely. Nothing much I did wrong. Instead I felt nervous.
Today I have my own space in the fridge. If I wanted to put anything in the previous fridge it was a struggle to find space. Now that this fridge is around 6.3 foot tall I don't think there may be those problems again. Petty it might sound but no so petty when it comes to depending on a piece of plastic junk for four years with the handle broken off.

You say "third year" and I immediately think of Harry Potter.
Do you not call yourselves "juniors"?
I'm a sophomore! And a semester ahead. Whee!

I was against the terms used to describe the ages of people because it was used to demean and devalue them.
"YOU! are only a junior! The majority of juniors here do as they are told by their prefixes so why should YOU! be any different?"
With them I have no preferences to myself, they watch everything I do, complain about the size and contents of my bag and the devices I carry. I am not going to listen to people like that who don't have any respect for me.
We are talking about YOU! not them.
But they are involved as for the ones complaining over the petty things like this which has nothing to do with the lessons. They are creating problems not solving them, and you are talking about...
Ahh... thats enough, I don't want to hear another complaint from them now go to your lessons.
I am hoping to get more sleep today later.
