    similarly to Swill's story

    I took Spanish classes in Spain, the entire class being conducted in Spanish

    this caused some difficulty, but there was one Finnish girl that just couldn't fucking deal with that

    when anyone asked her a question she'd say, in English, "oh, I don't know, shit, lemme think, um, ok, uh, he dicho, um," entirely breaking the flow of the class. She would also ask questions in English, try to engage with us in English, and so on.

    one day the teacher asked her, in Spanish, "What is the most thing you've ever done?"

    and the girl thought for a moment

    everyone watched her

    she thought longer, biting her lower lip

    the teacher held her breath

    and the girl said, "Explosion."

    tbh i'm not sure i would know how to answer that question either

    language classes are always the worst for that kind of thing, anyone who is drastically above or below the classroom's average learning curve really fucks it up for all the other students

    Italian class last night:

    Teacher: Brian, hai paura di che? (what are you afraid of?)

    Brian: Um . . . ho paura di . . . person in my closet."

    The class erupts in laughter. Seriously, what is that!?

    I graduated from UCSD this year, and am in the process of applying to several graduate schools for a master's in accounting.

    I'm told USC is in the middle of a really horrible neighborhood, is this true?

    well, i mean, all you have to worry about is ducking the bullets once you leave the USC campus, that's all.

    As of late I've just given up trying to understand young people.

    Not just on here, and not just my close friends, but young people in general.

    I don't know how, but there is a HUGE disconnect between how I was brought up, and the general expectations I knew, and what is currently the norm.

    I've just stopped trying to understand. It seems that people are perfectly happy to remain under their parents control far far longer then those I grew up around.
    Yeah, I like my parents and living with them is not a problem for me. But of course I am not you and my experiences have probably been vastly different from yours.

    Got a 50% on my poly sci midterm. Which is bullshit, I know I deserved more than that. I might just fail all of my classes this semester, which sucks because I'm on a really light schedule and not working.

    I was Warren, sup fellow triton.

    oh god i couldn't keep a straight face with that last line. as great as the professors were i just felt so goddamn detached and isolated socially from everything during my time there. :/ my schedule eventually boiled down to:

    1. attend class
    2. attend discussion section if warranted
    3. do homework
    4. play wow
    5. sleep
    6. goto 1

    edit: so as i understand it USC is a no-go thanks to being surrounded by prole filth? that sucks, was looking forward to going back to socal. :(

    hmmm, what about Vanderbilt?
