Hmm, in the fall, UCLA's political science department is offering a course on the 2008 Presidential Campaign. It's a variable topics/special studies class, which explains why it's on a recent event, which is unusual. Also, it's being taught by a professor I've taken before and know to be decent... I'm currently debating whether or not to take it.
On the one hand, it's something I'm interested in. I would certainly be an informed voter if I took it. I'm interested in presidential campaigns from an academic perspective in general and this would be a good case study. On the other hand, I could get sick of the campaign really fast, even if I wasn't taking a course on it. Plus, I might get tired of the class discussions (stupid people are annoying).
Thoughts?
Well if you take it you won't be able to take any other classes that you may or may not be better off taking instead of it. It all just depends on what you really want to do. :kitty:

I know what you mean. Whenever I try to have a politcal debate with a Democrat, I'll they say is stuff along the lines of "Bush is against America!" and things like that.

This is what some people's comments sound like to me.

It was time for a change.
I hate my dang iternet security! The thing's a peice of junk! It blocks random pages (the one rock_nog posted included), and when I try to disable it, it blocks the internet altogether! I hate that thing!

You mean O-Zone? I ran across them the time I went out for karaoke the other night. The song got requested by a friend in our group who is from Romania. Needless to say it got the party going in a hurry. In not too long I had the song in my iTunes collection.

lmao, you mean THIS?
hehe I remember when that video was going around a few years ago. I first heard about it from AlexMax.
Yeah, I remember when Darkgrammer showed me that so long ago. I had that song till my one hdd fell, and I had it again till my cheap usb stick got bent and died last week =(
guess I have to get it *again* (for the 3rd time lol). I really wish that I could watch youtube from my phone right now.
I didn't watch the youtube video. I got hooked on the song elsewhere and never bothered with videos with the song in it after getting it added to my library. :kitty:
Except for the videos that I heard it from in the first place. I still watch 'Attack of the Evil TV' because it's so freaking hilarious. :kitty:
Well... it's official...
I'm a senior!
Finally, I can be a pompous douche and get away with it at school! Plus open lunch, senior cuts, freshman buddies, etc.
*high-fives Amaster*
You're not a senior until you get to school the first day 😊. At least that's how it always worked at my school.
Well... maybe if you aren't in the band, but during summer band practices/rehearsals and band camp, we'll be considered seniors. 😎
And to add substance to this post, I might as well declare I still have a four point oh. Just one more year...
YAY! I'm done with school! And I am now officially in high school!
And I'm studying for chem. Grrrreat. It should be easy enough, but my prof just likes to throw in a ton of trick questions, because that's obviously the best way to see who knows the material best.
And I gradutated high school!.....7 years ago....ya...I miss high school as sad as it sounds to say that.... :sweat:

Never in my life have I heard that.
Anyways, some good friends of mine are going on a missionary trip to Brazil today. Just thought I'd day that so Belderan can chew them out. 😃
I graduated from high school in 2005 and I don't miss it at all. I was very glad to leave rural Michigan.

I miss it too! Real life sucks lol
I mostly miss the art classes becouse I loved making artistic stuff (I even made replica's of some of the masks from Majora's Masks from clay including Majora's Mask itself!) and the only other thing I miss is the lunch room food. I don't miss math or gym classes though. I hated those.
Great. Now I'm rambling like an old man..... :sweat: Damn do I feel older than I really am now....
Myself, I just miss the shenanigans. Like in 9th grade, when I put Quake on all the school computers. Ended up with like half the school DMing on the school network. Granted, it wa a small school, but man, what fun... 16-player slaughterfests on E1M7 with the gravity turned down to 100... I was always up to some form of hijinks or another.
Yup, this is quickly devolving into a bunch of us old farts reminiscing about the good old days.
Okay, I went to see You Don't Mess with the Zohan yesterday. Although it was funny, it should have been rated R. My family had to walk out of it because we had my younger brother with us. Although, the half hour we saw was hilarious. Seeing Zohan and the Phantom play ping pong with a grenade was priceless.
And all you people remembering hish school, I have one thing to say. It had better be as good as you remember.
It's easiest to remember the best parts of it. The older you get, the better it seems. Just know, there's a lot of douchebaginess in high school, so don't get dismayed when you encounter a few pricks.
Gah, I really need some motivation to study for finals. I'm doing really well in all my classes (my math class, I already completed - grades came out today, and I got an A 😊), but each of my finals is between 40-50% of my overall grade so I need to ace them as well.
I am super lazy right now and just don't feel like studying; when I try, I half ass it. I've got one final Monday morning and two Thursday and I just can't bring myself to work; it should be summer, damn it.
Suggestions?
I have none... I hardly even study myself. School junk just comes to me naturally.
Speaking of studying, I actually studied for today's SAT test. I wish I would have studied for it before... :sweat:
I graduated high school in 1975... y'all are still young'uns 😊 Enjoy your younghood... for adulthood comes too soon, too fast and hits much too hard <lol>. 😊
That's the problem Pineconn: almost always, when I need to do something, I just do. I had some motivational issues earlier though. Oh well, I ended up putting them aside long enough to complete a good 3 hours or so of productive work =)
Woooh, geez, bad weather around here. Been off and on Tornado warnings like the last three days, and off and on rain just all the time.
What the... a non-Hitchhiker's Guide avatar? Amaster, I'm deeply, deeply disappointed. I know you're going to Germany and all, but come on! Alright, I'm just gonna flip that flag on its side, rearrange the order of the colors, and just pretend it's a Belgium flag. Which works out perfectly, because I already think it is a Belgium flag (crap, I seriously doubt we're allowed to use that kind of language around here, especially in the non-GB section).
