Speak for yourself

To me, college was a time of stress, shifting alliances, and non-existing free time. Work, by contrast, was easy/boring, and allowed me to go home to rest at the end of the day and have weekends for myself.

Frankly, the thing that makes the idea of going back bearable is that I should get equivalence to about half of the first 2-3 years courses, meaning a lot less exams and more time for the courses I care about.

I say it depends on your thirst for knowledge. Personally, I didn't learn shit at Uni.

Well, I've been interviewing people non-stop for the past two weeks, and my semester hasn't even started yet! Ironically, I should be less busy when classes begin.

Off to the Jobs faire in October and hopefully I can bag myself some conditional job offers before I graduate. . . .

I'm one of those introverted people who gets exhausted by socialising and recharges by hiding in my fortress of solitude, certainly makes Sociology quite interesting. . . .

Woohoo, I'll have my guns next week! I had to leave them behind when I moved out, but I'll be headed back for them soon.

Hmm... seems like I'll spend the first week and a half at college with very limited internet access.

The good news is that afterwards I should have access to a 30 Mb connection.

I saw Brian Wilson live yesterday. It was a nice show, although he is getting rather old.

Light beer used to be considered a "sissy" bear, but about thirty or so years ago the beer companies started getting NFL players to shill for it. Since then, popularity has gone way up, and the NFL has become a major marketing venue for them.

In the US there's a lot of jokes about people having a "beer gut", a wad of belly fat that comes from high carbs in beer with low activity. Light beer appeals to the people who watch football who are getting older, since they feel they can drink beer while watching football with less weight gain.

American = NFL?

I don't watch football at all. In fact, I hate the damn sport... (maybe because I'm still in high school)
