[GardenStateGirlie]

French. And then i'm gettin' the hell outta dodge. Where i'll end up? your guess is as good as mine.

French. And then i'm gettin' the hell outta dodge. Where i'll end up? your guess is as good as mine.

All I can say in French is,"I ride to school in a car." :o

[GateandGarden]

I've got an African-American history course, a general late American history course, a Louisiana history course, a Women's literature course, and an advanced French course. :blob2:

[GardenStateGirlie]

Hey, that's more than a lot of people can say. I suppose you can say i'm taking this as a fluff course. I was able to talk the Dean into letting me take it instead of ANOTHER history or poli sci course. I'm transferring and no longer will be a Poli Sci major but I do need a foreign language in college (even though i've had years of French in high school). I'll take my A and a GPA boost, thanks :thumbsup:

[Merf]

This is my tenth (yes, tenth) semester in college. YaaaYyYy 2nd degree (my first was a BA in Communication-- no science for meez).

Finishing up the pre-nursing stuff: Bacteriology & Bacteriology Lab; Anatomy/Physiology II & Anatomy/Physiology II Lab, and Nutrition.

If all goes well I will FINALLY start nursing school in August. :) (after a required CNA class in the summer)

Speech SUCKS. I only had to give... 3 speeches? Informative (dog shows :rolleyes: ), Career (graphic design), Persuasive (censorship sucks, my best IMO). Ironic that the 10-minute one was both the easiest and my best one o_O

[DeadliestPoison]

Christ, you're in high school?! :laugh:
:wavey: I would just take courses in summer school and graduate early, but I can't really do that. I really only need to take Econ, Gov, and Physics and I'm good to go. I made it a point to take the lighter courses for my senior year after this year, which is HELL. Hence, why I'm trying to drop AP History. It's faaaar too much for me to handle right now.

....and I think that's it. :DDamn! At my high school, we could only take seven classes a year. (Don't you have eight for your last year?) How long are the class periods? And we didn't have anything called "Science & Ethics." I'm sure that if we did, they would've said, "Teaching human evolution is unethical." Ugh, the South. :rolleyes: We didn't have an economics class, either. I know I would've been bored to tears in it. :laugh:

[GateandGarden]

I have another Commercial Law class, and Intellectual Property.You should be an English major/History minor like me who has years and years of post-graduate work ahead of her. :nod:
:o

[DeadliestPoison]

My word. I started college while I was still in high school and even I didn't take so many classes. :laugh:
Hee. Well, a lot of mine are 1-semester, like Economics, Government, World Lit, 20th Century Lit, etc. Science & Ethics takes up two periods. Physics, English, Psych and the required study hall are all year-long. I had it all figured out somewhere, but I turned it in to my counselor a few weeks ago. :laugh:

[ontheEdgeof17]

Damn! At my high school, we could only take seven classes a year.


My high school was on block. We had 4 classes each semester for 90 minutes a piece. It was a cake walk. Homework was minimal and the 90 minutes gave up plenty of time to finish things properly in order to make better grades. :nod:

I get antsy in college when I take those hour and fifteen minute classes. (Well, only if it's a subject I can't stand). An hour and thirty minutes! :eek: Oh, what am I saying? I'm taking a night class that's three hours long next semester. :rolleyes: Crazy me.

I've had 8 hour lectures. Those are hell. In fact, I have one on eating disorders this Thursday. :rolleyes: It is my last one ever!

[amber]

You should be an English major/History minor like me who has years and years of post-graduate work ahead of her. :nod:
:o
Actually, I should, those are the two subjects i'm most interested in... :rolleyes:
*stupid law stuff*

[GateandGarden]

I've had 8 hour lectures. Those are hell. In fact, I have one on eating disorders this Thursday. :rolleyes: It is my last one ever!Oh. My. God. I didn't even know there were eight hour lectures! (At least not all in one sitting). :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

[GateandGarden]

Actually, I should, those are the two subjects i'm most interested in... :rolleyes:
*stupid law stuff*Well, I suppose it's never too late to change your major! Still, everyone was annoyed with me when I changed mine. And then I was annoyed with myself for having to go an extra semester of undergrad school because of it.

[ontheEdgeof17]

Oh. My. God. I didn't even know there were eight hour lectures! (At least not all in one sitting). :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:


Oh, we get a 1/2 hour for lunch. :cool: It takes that just to order around here.

[DeadliestPoison]

Hee. We're on block scheduling, so we have 4 classes per day and each period is 90 minutes.

*busts out Paint and makes a diagram* OwWwWwW, the compression!)!(@)!*#!)(@

So as you can see, it all works out nicely. :) My basic strategy is to pick the classes that interest me. Hence, Science & Ethics (which sounds like Theory of Knowledge 2.0, and I'm in love with that class), World Lit, 20th Century Lit, Psych, etc. :D

At my school, we're required to have a certain amount of credits in each field in order to graduate, and all I really need is another Lab Science (hence, Physics) and Government & Econ, which are required anyway. I'd take them in summer school, but I'd apparently have no time to get them overwith. And then I'd have to make out a new schedule, and my school? Doesn't offer much in the way of interesting courses. So yeah.

[amber]

Oh, we get a 1/2 hour for lunch. :cool: It takes that just to order around here.
I did that once, when i learned to phlebotomize :laugh:
2 days, eight hours each... :rolleyes:

Oh! Some are 1-semester. I guess that explains why you can take so many classes.

yeah. I'll finish this, it's only 2-2.5 yrs, and i'm halfway done. Maybe for when i get my real degree... :D which actually, i'm also two years into... :o

[GateandGarden]

Doesn't offer much in the way of interesting courses. So yeah.Your school doesn't? Mine had the bare bones! We didn't have any AP courses, and we certainly didn't have Science & Ethics. We had math, science, English, history, choir, band...all that general stuff. Nothing special at all. Gong to college was like, "Wow! A real education with the teachers actually teaching instead of sitting at the desk and sleeping the whole time!" :laugh:

Same here. We did have a "Creative writing" and "computer concepts" (which was basically just surfing the Internet.) :laugh:

[GypsySorcerer]

I wish.
I have another Commercial Law class, and Intellectual Property.

Intellectual Property isn't too bad. Obscenity law is also particularly fun. :nod:

[amber]

Intellectual Property isn't too bad. Obscenity law is also particularly fun. :nod:
yeah. that one seems more fun. I already took one commercial law, and it was pretty challenging.
I have same teacher for both, a friend said he was really, really easy... :confused: Like he told stories all during intellectual property :confused:

Anybody remember Oregon Trail or Number Munchers?

[GateandGarden]

Anybody remember Oregon Trail or Number Munchers?Oh yeah! :nod: I took a lame computer class in middle school during which I did little more than play those two games. I love hunting in Oregon Trail. The graphics don't get any simpler than that! But we were all so bored that it was great entertainment. :lol:

Did you attempt to ford the river or wait 5 days to take the ferry? :p :lol:

[ontheEdgeof17]

Anybody remember Oregon Trail or Number Munchers?


I was the Oregon Trail bitch! I broke my leg in the 5th grade and while everyone was outside doing PE, I played OT. I got sooooo good at it. I could maneuver that wagon down that river like nobody's business? HU RAH! :lol:

I always hit the rocks. By the time I got to the end, everyone had either drowned or succumbed to typhoid or cholera. :o

By the time I got to the end, everyone had either drowned or succumbed to typhoid or cholera. :oYep, everybody in my party (who was always named after real people in my life, which made it kind of tragic) always died before we made it to Oregon. Still, I could totally manuever my way around those rocks! :lol:

Did y'all notice all the gravestones along the way (not the river, the trail) with the ridiculous inscriptions on them? That other players had made when they died on the trail?

And didn't you hate it when some bastard came in the middle of the night and stole half the crap from your wagon? :mad: :lol:

[GateandGarden]

I attempted to ford the river and usually lost most of my supplies. :laugh:Don't ya love it when you try to ford the river and it's like "Whoops! Your wagon sunk! But it's okay, 'cause only two people drowned and you only lost 10 sets of clothes, 3 wagon tongues, and 200 pounds of food." :lol:

[GypsySorcerer]

I attempted to ford the river and usually lost most of my supplies. :laugh:

As for my classes this semester? I don't know yet. :eek: I'm transferring from one school to another, so I don't have to get back to school until the end of this month. I'll be going to make my schedule tomorrow, though. Anyway, having winter break last from December 18-January 18 is nothing to complain about at all.

That's why you caulked the wagon and floated it across. :nod:

[GypsySorcerer]

Don't ya love it when you try to ford the river and it's like "Whoops! Your wagon sunk! But it's okay, 'cause only two people drowned and you only lost 10 sets of clothes, 3 wagon tongues, and 200 pounds of food." :lol:


How bout those trade rip-offs? "50 pounds of food for two oxen, 5 sets of clothes, and two wagon wheels?" :]

[GateandGarden]

Did anyone else ever have their oxen eat something poisonous and then die? I always thought that was cheap because there was no way to prevent it...:confused:Weird! In all of my numerous mindless Oregon Trail sessions, I don't think that ever happened! :confused:

[ontheEdgeof17]

Can you still buy this? I want it badly. :laugh: Seriously...I need Oregon Trail NOW....It's like oxygen.

[GypsySorcerer]

Can you still buy this? I want it badly. :laugh: Seriously...I need Oregon Trail NOW....It's like oxygen.

The kid I used to baby-sit for had it installed on their home computer. I used to play it while she was sleeping. :eek:

Pretty soon, we'll all be wearing slap bracelets (though they were banned at my school), playing Oregon Trail, and watching Hey Dude! on Nick. :lol:

[DeadliestPoison]

Yep, everybody in my party (who was always named after real people in my life, which made it kind of tragic) always died before we made it to Oregon.
I always named them after the Spice Girls. And got sad when they died. Frown.

Is that game still around? I'd imagine it would have to be updated a whole lot.

Okay, seriously? I feel ancient knowing that you were playing Oregon Trail when the Spice Girls were around.

I always caulked my wagon. I always had bad luck with the typhoid, though.

I loved the old Nickelodeon shows, but as much as I miss Hey Dude and Salute Your Shorts (with Blake Sennett, who played Pinsky, who's now in one of my favorite bands, Rilo Kiley), I miss The Elephant Show w/ Bram & Shari and David the Gnome (!!!) the most.

I love this thread, because it's reminded me that I'm done with school. It felt really nice to finish the courses for my B.A. just a few months past 21. Hate school hate school hate school.

[GateandGarden]

Squee! The old days of Nickelodeon, before it started sucking! I thought I was the only person who remembered Roundhouse!!!

I was Eureeka's Castle's bitch, yo. Word. :cool:I watched both of those shows! And "Hey Dude." And does anyone remember "Welcome Freshmen"? I loved that one, though I can hardly remember anything about it!

And if anyone's really interested in Oregon Trail, e-mail me and I'll e-mail it to you as a zip file. I've got the original and the deluxe version, though the original has some bugs and I never play it because it makes the deluxe version actually look modern. (Okay, not really. They're both incredibly primitive).

:lol: Krista's right, we should have caulked our wagons!

Did anyone else ever have their oxen eat something poisonous and then die? I always thought that was cheap because there was no way to prevent it...:confused:

OMG - Oregon Trail kicked ass!!

My oxen never ate anything poisonous - but I remember many a member of my party being bitten by snakes and dying...sucked....

The funny part is we'd all name our Oregon Trail people after actual friends - so like we'd make fun of the one who died all day...stupid...we were so lame lol

I also think I missed being into Salute your Shorts and such by a couple of years....

In my day I enjoyed Pinwheel, Special Delivery, Belle and Sebastian, that one cartoon with the stuffed Koala who turned real, Dennis the Menace and, of course, You Can't Do that on Television!!!

[ontheEdgeof17]

I was Eureeka's Castle's bitch, yo. Word. :cool:


I ate at Pizza Hut for two months just to get the complete Eureeka's Castle hand puppet collection. OHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHH!


Speaking of Pizza Hut...anyone remember Book It or was that just a local thing around here?

[GypsySorcerer]

I watched both of those shows! And "Hey Dude." And does anyone remember "Welcome Freshmen"? I loved that one, though I can hardly remember anything about it!

And if anyone's really interested in Oregon Trail, e-mail me and I'll e-mail it to you as a zip file. I've got the original and the deluxe version, though the original has some bugs and I never play it because it makes the deluxe version actually look modern. (Okay, not really. They're both incredibly primitive).

Please email it to me! Do you still have my email? :xoxo:

I remember Book It.....Gotta love the late 80s and early 90s. :blob2:

[dissention]

Oh. My. God. I didn't even know there were eight hour lectures! (At least not all in one sitting). :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

I never had to deal with lectures really, but I had twelve-hour "classes" when I was in college. The instructor was usually only there for the first four hours or so, and the rest was spent completing projects and trying to figure out the CAD software. :laugh: Design was the most challenging and in-depth thing I've ever done in my life. Almost everyone in my classes, including myself, lived in the workshops. We even had pillows and blankets stored in our bins. :laugh: It got to the point where you were so tired and sick of seeing the same people every day for hours that you wanted to crawl under a rock. And when it came time for internship assignments, it was pure hell. The gloves came off! It was hella fun, though, I kind of miss being in that environment.

[dissention]

Anybody remember Oregon Trail or Number Munchers?

I can't tell you how many times I died of Scarlett Fever in that game. :cool:

[dissention]

I loved the old Nickelodeon shows, but as much as I miss Hey Dude and Salute Your Shorts (with Blake Sennett, who played Pinsky, who's now in one of my favorite bands, Rilo Kiley), I miss The Elephant Show w/ Bram & Shari and David the Gnome (!!!) the most.

:blob1: David the Gnome! :blob1:

I still remember Duckula. I loved Duckula. And Mappletown. :D But my all-time fave was Inspector Gadget...

Remember that show about that guy and girl who worked in a department store and the mannequins came to life? Loved that one, too, but I can't remember the name...

I remember Book It. Instead of using stickers, though, they would use those fake earrings and put those on my bookmark instead. :cool:

Gawd, this thread is a trip down memory lane. I didn't realize I was so freakin' old.

Actually, imagine if you didn't really know most of the things people were talking about? Then, then, you would feel old :laugh: :wavey: you would feel five years older, to be specific...

[hayley]

I was a total Book It whore. I read like a fiend- I started reading when I was three, and I was bringing stuff like Stephen King's It to school in second grade, and teaching everyone about sex based off what I'd read in it... haa! I would get enough Book It free personal pan pizzas to feed my family at Pizza Hut once a week. It was insane.

WOW! Duckula!! I loved Duckula. But Inspector Gadget was one of my absolute favorites, too. Although I had some weird hatred for Penny. I always wanted her to buy the farm, as a child. She got on my nerves.

Nick at Night better step it up and start including these shows. I think it would be a boost for the channel. :nod:

OMG, It! I was horrified when I got to the orgy section. My ten year old eyes couldn't believe it. I checked "The Burning Bed" out of the library and brought it to school to read when I was in third grade. :lol: I got in trouble for that one.

I liked Penny and her dog. I hated The Claw. He just freaked me out big time.

[dissention]

Nick at Night better step it up and start including these shows. I think it would be a boost for the channel. :nod:

Do you remember the show "Honey, I'm Home"? It was on Nick At Night in 1990, I believe, and it was their attempt at original programming. It was about two families that lived next door, one was a modern family and all of their scenes were in color, and the other was an old-fashioned 50s family and all their scenes were in black and white. No one I know remembers it one bit.

If they want to get good ratings, they need to bring back ALF, Mork and Mindy, Gimme A Break, Facts of Life, etc. All the good shows that I grew up watching. :D

Actually, I watched C in C. I think with the Nickelodeon shows, we didn't have nickelodeon. I remember my best friend in 5th grade would watch them at her house...I remember watching Inspector Gadget. Never saw Joanie love Chachi...
I think i was too old, or didn't like live action shows with kids, to like those Nick ones...I didn't like live action shows very much in general, so...
However, I absolutely don't remember Oregon Trail! :) sounds kinda fun, though...

Do you remember when Nickelodeon would have "Special Delivery" every Saturday and Sunday afternoon? It would always be an hourlong block of a certain show (Duckula, Mappletown, Koala, Fairy Tales, Inspector Gadget, etc.) and then a movie. I remember that they played Howard the Duck, Garbage Pail Kids, that stupid movie about the kid who shrinks himself into a postage stamp, The Phantom Tollbooth, and a bunch of other classics. :laugh:

Legends of the Hidden Temple



There are no words to describe how I loved this game show! :xoxo: I always wanted to be on it just for the ending where they search all those rooms for medals. It was a grand!

Great list, but they're leaving so much out!

[DrummerDeanna]

Remember that show about that guy and girl who worked in a department store and the mannequins came to life? Loved that one, too, but I can't remember the name...

wasn't that Special Delivery??

[dissention]

wasn't that Special Delivery??

No, Special Delivery was what they called the block of programming on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. An hour of cartoons and then a movie. :xoxo:

I am determined to figure out what that show was called, though!

[DrummerDeanna]

TODAY"S SPECIAL...

That's it right? The one with the mannequin and muffy and mr. pennypincher??

[DrummerDeanna]

That IS it :blob1: :blob2:

I knew it had the word special in the title...:D

Here's some info:

Excellent children’s series about a mannequin who came to life in a department star via a magic spell from a wizard named Waldo the Magnificent. He must be wearing his hat while the words “Hocus Pocus Alamagocus” are spoken. Thing is, he can only come to life ‘inside’ the store and when he’s wearing his hat. In the store, he learns about life (usually through song) from his newfound friends. 1981-1987. Ran for 121 episodes.

MAIN CHARACTERS:
Jeff – Mannequin, good dancer, plaid hat.
Jodie – Big afro, pink jump-suit.
Sam Crenshaw – Security guard. Has a cat named Penelope
Muffy the Mouse – Always talks in rhyme and loves cheese.
Waldo the Magnificent – Magician who shows up occasionally.
TXL – Sam’s computer. Sometimes gives the audience quizzes. I get ‘em all right… now.

[skcin]

However, I absolutely don't remember Oregon Trail! :) sounds kinda fun, though...


You're not alone! I've heard about it for years, yet have no memory of playing it myself.

Loved Charles in Charge, btw. And we had Nick, I used to watch Double Dare, YCDTonTV, Inspector Gadget and Ren & Stimpy.

On another note, we get Canadian stations here & I grew up watching Degrassi Junior High (not that cheesey-ass current one, but the old 80's one with that chick Spike) and Just Like Mom (anyone remember this? The kids had to cook at the end & it was always terrible, and the moms had to eat it.) Anyone? Theresa, help me out here!

I saw DeGrassi, too. it was pretty cool, for my age, I was astounded at how "city" all the kids were... :laugh: I was like, wow, everyone at my school looks nice and is white... :laugh: :shocked: but i liked the show a lot. I didn't see Just Like Mom, but i probably wouldn't have liked it anyway, so..
Ren & Stimpy, woot!

[dissention]

What was Allegra's Window?

There's a great big world outside...Allegra's window...

It was about a little girl in preschool (Allegra) with a puppet that teaches her family about life as a preschooler. :laugh: Gawd, that show was when I was, what, 15? Never watched much of it, it was for babies. :p

OMG, do you have health fairs at your school? When I was in tenth grade, we had a supersized health fair and it was hilarious. My school got together almost 20 speakers and gave you a schedule to go room-to-room for a 15 minute lecture from each speaker. And they gave us bags to carry all of our pamphlets in. :laugh:

I was sent upstairs for my "lecture" and it was on safe sex. The woman was CRAZY. She was rail thin, had long gray hair down to her ass, and flew aorund the room like a butterfly. She lectured us on STDs, saying that "germs and bacteria thrive in warm, moist spots, and what is more warm and moist than a crotch?" :lol:

She then proceeded to demonstrate on anamtomically correct mannequins how to use a rubber and *shudder* how to use a female condom. When she was getting ready to put on the rubber, she said you had to "tweak the head," so she pinched the tip of the rubber and said it had to look like a pointy hat before putting it on. THEN SHE PUT IT ON HER HEAD LIKE A HAT!

I will never forget it.

Okay, the only thing I can respond to this with is a resounding HEE!!!!!!

I remember one of those from elementary school, and they had a fifteen-minute segment for the girls reiterating for us how to wipe properly.

[DeadliestPoison]

haha - yeah Spice Girls weren't around when I played Oregon Trail either :shrug:
I played it both at school and at home. I named my characters after people in class, my family, the Spice Girls, whoever.

I'm only 17, though, so the year would be ca. 1996/1997, when I was in 3rd/4th grade.

Looking back, those were pretty bad shows. :o The whole chemical falling on Alex Mack and giving her unexplainable magical powers thing was beyond ridiculous. And "Space Cases" was even worse. But hey, I was a kid.

[pianogirl04]

I just read through this whole thread and nodded my head to the entire thing. I remember kids in one of my classes playing Oregon Trail but for some reason I never got to play it. :shrug: I really wish the old Nick shows still came on, though... those were awesome. Seems like the only one that's lasted is Rugrats.

Alright, schedule time.

MWF - History 102, Civilization, English 102 -- for some reason, every story in the book that they're going through right now has some kind of biblical basis. They keep talking about "the soldier knew he was going to be saved by the grace of God" and crap and it's just so annoying. And then after they had talked about how this story is related to theology, they asked if someone who believed differently would perceive it differently. No duh. I could have given 'em a mouthful on objectivism but I didn't.
M only - Bio lab (I took the lecture class last semester)
TTH- College algebra and music appreciation (eeee! :thumbsup: At first I wasn't sure if I could take it since I might switch to a music major but then I went down and talked to the chair of the music department and he just flat out told me that it can substitute for music literature -- looks like I might be switching majors to music therapy! I'm so excited...)

And let's just complicate things some more -- not only is my school on academic probation and could (in my opinion more than likely) lose accreditation, but somebody who was a senior here was sent over to Iraq in October and he was killed this week. The school's holding a memorial service for him tomorrow and the high school he graduated from is letting his family use their gym for services. I think it just hit everybody here what's really happening to our kids overseas, but they're all still thinking that he died defending freedom. I don't know how to respond to that, I just think it's a crying shame that someone with so much promise and hope and just about to graduate was put in harm's way and taken from this world because of it. :mad:

[DeadliestPoison]

I forgot to mention Sociology in my Senior Schedule Rundown. I remembered I was taking that class when I was sitting in Psych and reminded myself to tell you all. :laugh: I'm pretty sure English 12 is 1-semester, so Sociology would fit in after that class is over. :)

Back to the OTness. It makes me sad that Nickelodeon sucks now. Except for Spongebob, Fairly Odd Parents, and Jimmy Neutron. The end.

[GateandGarden]

not only is my school on academic probation and could (in my opinion more than likely) lose accreditation,I had no idea that was going on with your school! I know a few people who graduated from there and had good things to say about it, one of them was a music teacher of mine, in fact. But it was a while back that the people I knew graduated from there. What's going on that would make the school lose its accreditation?

I agree but I hated kindergarten, too. :laugh:

I am thinking about taking a few web publishing classes but I want to go to the campus right near me. They don't have it however so I doubt that I will take the classes.

But it was a while back that the people I knew graduated from there. What's going on that would make the school lose its accreditation?

It's an awesome school, I got that impression right off when I started going there... but the majority of the problems it has are rooted in how it's got a religious background, not in the education at all. SACS came in... September?.. and they concluded that there were enough issues with academic freedom, governance (mainly with the board of trustees and where do their interests *really* lie, that kind of thing), and communication between the administration and students to put it on academic probation. I remember hearing back in May about how there were books removed from the bookstore because of their content and students were protesting... one of the authors came to speak at a high school and he basically said outright that he was not pleased with the actions taken and we all knew that's why he wouldn't speak there. They're looking for a new president too -- they had appointed somebody and he stepped down right before the holidays. (I won't say that's a bad thing -- they showed part of his speech on TV and when you see somebody holding up a bible and declaring it 'the final authority in all matters from administration to the classroom,' that scares the CRAP out of me.) They're holding a Q&A forum on the 18th for students -- I think I might check it out. I'd like to hear just how they plan on fixing things...

:mad: :( I am sorry to hear about that.

I think this is going to be really tough because this is the second student we've lost this year and we've only got a thousand people here. I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of tears shed tomorrow.

[GateandGarden]

Thanks for all the info, Kortni. As I'm sure you (and everyone else) can imagine, it would definitely scare the CRAP out of me if the president of the university said that the Bible is the final authority in every classroom. That certainly has implications in science classes. I imagine that this isn't the first time something like this has happened at a religious university. Maybe it's inevitable that something like that happens and then the academic programs have to be revamped. I don't know, just an assumption. :shrug: If you don't mind, I'd like for you to e-mail me and update me on all that as it unfolds ([email protected]) :laugh: My e-mail address is all over this thread, huh?

I think this is going to be really tough because this is the second student we've lost this year and we've only got a thousand people here. I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of tears shed tomorrow.Y'all will be in my thoughts tomorrow.

Thanks for all the info, Kortni. As I'm sure you (and everyone else) can imagine, it would definitely scare the CRAP out of me if the president of the university said that the Bible is the final authority in every classroom. That certainly has implications in science classes. I imagine that this isn't the first time something like this has happened at a religious university.

Cute addy! I'll definitely let you know what goes down. I'll send you an email so you'll have my email address.

Y'all will be in my thoughts tomorrow.

Thanks. I just saw on the news that PHS is going to create some kind of award for ROTC kids there in his name and probably build a ballfield or something like that because he really loved sports. :nod:

My mom? Went to school with him. And Babyface.

She likes to tell me this whenever she sees either of them on TV. :rolleyes:

Your mom must've gone to the same HS my boyfriend did. He talks about Babyface. :nod:

[GypsySorcerer]

Holy small world, Batman! My mom went to North Central in Indiana. :)

So did he. :wavey:

Alice in Wonderland didn't open yet, but yes, that's alot, but it's my last year so i try to make the best of it. i also get free courses due to my achievements :eek:

Achievements? Awesome! But that's all college classes? geez, I work, but even if i didn't i think i could only handle three or four. Um, are the classes there different? :confused:

i won't try sounding too humble, i finished last year with a 95.80 average grade, so i get more free courses than i should be handling.
that's ALOT of work, i can tell you that, some of those courses demands weekly written assignments too, overall i've at least 4 written assignments and articles to prepare each week, which leaves me on the verge of committing suicide.

oh, so it really is the same. I don't know what a 95.8 average is, unless it's out of one hundred, cause ours goes like "4.0" "3.5" etc. Sounds like you have a lot to be proud of, though! congrats! :woohoo:

[tommer]

oh, so it really is the same. I don't know what a 95.8 average is, unless it's out of one hundred
the grades range between 0 to 100. one's avarage grade is just the avarage of all that year's grades in all courses.

It drives me crazy to be in 3D composition for two hours and ten minutes especially with all the scraping noises from carving we're doing. Thank God for a cd player loaded with TISL. :nod:
