This is exactly it.

My mom was so outrageous the other night I literally lost it and punched a whole in my own wall.

I was studying at UBC from 3pm and I get a call at 2AM from my mom asking me where I was. I said I was studying at UBC, which I was. She has the nerve to tell me that I should get home because UBC is " dangerous " at that time.

Now if I'm at someones party, club, mall, theatre, it's a reasonable justification, but at UBC?!

^studying at 3am - i call BS!! ;)

Not anymore... All the Mcd are either under reno are have done so already. the reno makes Mcd a pretty nice looking and comfortable place.

hong kong has this...result:

kids sitting around mcd for hours on their laptop
ive even heard kids with psp sitting at mcd for hours on end having a psp lan party

Don't lie.

You were in the UBC residence banging that hot broad in one of your classes.

Did you guys notice some Mcdonalds have LCD screens now displaying soccer and stuff. It's so awesome!

Carry Canucks Pay Per View and I'll be there with bells on. :)

mcdonalds has wifi in the states? wish i knew when i went down a couple weeks ago. i was looking for a wifi spot.

About time. Last time I was trying to get together with some classmates to do a project, places with free wifi are ALL full. Ended up calling quits & head home

Whenever I go to the states, I hit up a Dennys parking lot, or actually eat there and use their free wifi lol

WHAT?? I can't believe that after raising you for 20 years, she expected you to come home so that she knows you're safe.
That's insane! I mean, you were studying at UBC (which she probably paid for), and she had the nerve to tell you to hop back in your car (that she also likely paid for), to come home because it's dark? Because the West side has had a recent string of shootings? Because you're probably one of a only handful of students still left at UBC? Because it's raining/snowing outside? She's clearly off her rocker...
I would have punched two wholes in my wall.

Lol i meant to type WHOLE hole.

Anyways.
Tuition paid: by me
Car + insurance + all bills paid: by me


UBC is 15 minutes away from home.
It was not raining.

My argument was that if I can't study at home (due to distractions etc) then where else can I study if even UBC is "dangerous".

But I don't think studying at McDonalds would work out too much, you'd come out smelling like deep fryer oil.

learning to deal with distractions is an option lol. anyways, don't you guys remember bugging your parents to buy a computer/get a new one for "homework" purposes? :lol

now i can study at mcdonalds lol

for me the only distraction is the internet, which obviously will be available to me at the library, waves coffee, etc.

At home, it doesn't matter how loud other people are, I'm in my room, doing my thing, and I am usually streaming classical music or piano music from Whisperings so yeah...quite soothing. OH yeah make sure to have earphones.

They should open the wi-fi McDonalds to 24 hours before implementing this. Also, study whores will get fat xD

it`ll only be useful if they add more plugs near seats though...

most ppl`s laptops last on avg only 3 to 4 hours

^^ They probably don't want you to stay there too much longer than that though..

If I had to deal with a woman like your mom, I'd be punching her, not the wall. Hopefully it would knock some sense into her ignorant head too.

niaceee

if you study too much in a place you don't like, you'll just end up hating it and avoiding it.

so why not go someplace that's comfortable or fits ur vibe?

I hate even sitting inside mcdicks.. I find most of their branches filthy. The floors, the chairs, the trays, and especially the tables.

But good on them, WiFi doesn't cost tooo much to setup and maintain, so it seems like the right marketing move to draw more customers.

How will you be able to access the internet? Will it be unsecured? Or "Password" given to you? Or like Starbucks, you sign in with a giftcard/starbucks card?

I assume it'll be a VPN that you log into. If they were smart, they would require everyone to open user accounts for it. I doubt it'll be as ghetto as installing a D-Link router and opening it to everyone... But you never know :lol

Never had the damn vouchers when I went.
