I wish there was a wise man I could call who could tell me which college to go to/stay at

I wish he had a toll-free number

i had a dream last night about forgetting a final

i haven't even resumed school yet and it's already fucking with my head. i once spent an entire semester mildly convinced that there was a class i signed up for that i couldn't remember anything about and never went to.

Anyone know someone who goes to Trinity College in Connecticut?

I dont go there, but I live 50 minutes from hartford and can say, driving around the part of town it's in, that trinity is in the middle of ghetto central.

i would like to apply to cambridge and oxford, yes

a friend of mine applied and was accepted at oxford, but did not get funding, and he gets more or less the same marks as me

but funding is not really a problem for me (dead grandma)

Do they still do those interviews where they ask really open, sometimes bizarre questions?

Yes!

A friend of mine was asked "if you had to segregate one section of the population to be bred for cannibalism by the rest, which would it be and why"

Jesus fuck.

What did he say and did it work?

(I'm gonna apply myself in 2012, and even though I might not get that far the thought of these interviews is freaking me out a little.)

She refused to answer the question and she did not get a place

One AP exam down, four to go

Borommakot

My department head is the oddest old man. I went in to get my major changed from being through the business school to the government department and I'm talking to him about how they had originally had me as an Info Systems student for no real reason and he goes into this Batman-esque rant about other departments stealing his students and no justice for it while I just smile and nod.

calc ab done. that wasn't so bad

Peter Ebel

Had my last lab for organic chemistry yesterday. Sent in my last lab report today. Uninstalled Civ 4. We are in full mother fucking exam mode, geese.

Callius

My latin teacher gave us back our tests today (we took them yesterday) and let us work on them for an additional 30 minutes, while letting us ask her questions.

....

I think the entire class is going to fail the exam.

Hey, same here. In 48 hours we can discuss the long answer section!

After I handing in my dissertation I was like "sweet I can go buy my own books to read!"

I rushed out and bought a book about the British empiricists, an introductory guide to Chomsky's work on generative linguistics (written by my supervisor!!!) and Russell's 'human society in ethics and politics'

I AM VERY COOL

I made the SAT my bitch. It is my bitch. Mine.

APES exam in a half hour wooooo.

unintentional

I stressed way too much over that calculus exam. Now I am stressing over English, and I can't convince myself that it's equally unjustified

good thing the argument essay isn't on this exam.

AMP'd

Seriously I am not excited to get to school at 7:30 tomorrow for this English AP

Also I'm liking Notes From the Underground more now that I know it was supposed to be frustrating. It was good to discuss it

that's pretty much exactly how my russian final went, except our professor would look over our tests and point out some mistakes

i was hoping for an A, expecting an A-, and a got a B+

dammit

Mr. Oswald is not heeeeeeeeeeeeere.

I am thinking he changed the time of the test.

Well, at least it's just as bleak in the work force, so you're not missing much. I mean seriously, in this economy they know you're fucked and they taunt you with it.

Are you telling me I should just go ahead and immolate something and myself along with it now instead of later

I'm saying you're damned either way, so just grab a bottle of bourbon, sit back, and stay out of the line of fire as best as possible.

Kusuguttai

that's not a very modest proposal

MrMonroe

I posed the cannibalism question to some of the people I was studying property with today

one was just flabbergasted and said the answer was "but.... Kant!"

another said "Gamers"

Kusuguttai

i hope someone gets my joke and pats me on the back

MrMonroe

I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London that Kusu is a silly goose

Kusuguttai

a silly goose who just made a literature joke

I apparently did slightly worse on my second asset than my first. 3% difference but still...kind of disappointing for something I worked hard on...

Rankenphile

grades finally posted

3 Bs, a B+ and an A-. Far better then I expected in some classes.

Lowest GPA so far, but coming from what was by far the toughest semester to date, I'm satisfied.

i love you toss and the stig
