And the refs can go straight to hell, too.

I lost track of how many penalties should have been called in period 3, the first OT and the second OT.

I lost track of how many times a Bruin slammed into a Hab and swiped the puck away.

What should have been a wonderful experience (playoff hockey -- there's nothing greater than your team winning a playoff game that you're at), what was over three hours of excitement and fun and cheering and heart-stopping moments and saves... turned into absolute shit in the span of five seconds.

Five seconds, in which one of our best players is slashed across the wrist and loses control of the puck, and leaves his position on the ice because his hand is now numb, and accidentally prevents his teammate, a defender, from tearing back into our zone. Five seconds, in which a penalty should have been called for the slashing. Five seconds, in which a dirty, evil, fucking bastard of a Bruin skates in with the puck and lets one go at 9 minutes and some seconds of the second overtime. Five seconds, in which José Theodore doesn't make the most important save of the night.

My evening began with Mike Ribeiro scoring an early goal, and I nearly cried, overwhelmed with the emotion from 21,273 people cheering and screaming and clapping and waving their little white bandana thingies. It ended with my being heartbroken and furious beyond imagination. I've never even dreamed of throwing anything but a hat on the ice at a hockey arena. I found myself hefting my Coke and wondering if it was at all possible for me to launch it to the ice to hit Andrew Raycroft. Then someone else's soda soared over my head, dribbling on me as it went, and I elected, instead, to scream bloody murder at Andrew Raycroft. I've been swearing like a sailor since about 10:45pm. Screaming at Raycroft sort of helped. But I'm still furious with the referees for not calling the slashing penalty or any of the other 32957 penalties they should have called in period three and the first overtime.

Of course it would wind up that I'd get to go to the damn game, just to see them lose in such a stupid, controversial way. I don't know why I expected it would be at all different.

Motherfuckinggoddamnsonofabitch, Raycroft, you suck such ass, it's not even funny, you freaky, flukey, poor excuse for a real goaltender.

Ladies and gentlemen, my 2004-2005 schedule for school.

Clicky to see. )

So that's that. I'm officially registered for 24 credits. I have no morning classes (well, morning in that we're talking before 11am, here), and my latest class ends at 8:15pm, which is once a week in the fall and twice a week in the winter. And nothing on Fridays at all! Wheeee!

And I got Sociology of Cyberspace!!! And Intro to Italian!

Discovering Biotechnology, BTW, is a "general education" class (of which I need to take four). Technically speaking, it's a chemistry class. Eesh. But it's for non-science students, which is good, because I am not a science student. ;) The Gen Ed credits need to come from either humanities classes or science classes, and Nelly, the lovely Mature Student advisor I saw last week, recommended that I take at least one of the Gen Ed classes this coming year, just to get it out of the way. Actually, most of my classes are required classes I'm doing in order to get them out of the way. Social Theory, Stats I/II, Intro to Culture (200-level Anthro class) and the Chem class are all fulfilling some of my requirements. The Sociology of Cyberspace is actually eating up some credits that I think need to be taken up, because I was exempted from Intro to Sociology (thanks to my CEGEP grades), but it's not like that knocks off any credits off my requirements. But I think that's it for the 200-level Sociology electives. Still, I'm happy I got the class.

With all that finally done and out of the way, it's time for me to memorize everything I can about Social Deviance. Exam is tomorrow at 9am and is 100% multiple choice. I should get in the 80s (A- or an A) on it without too much trouble.
