Then I hate when you spend so much money on books, you don't use them, and then when you sell them back you hardly get any money back. Such a ripoff!

I'm thinking i will be done in May of 08. If i decided to stay at home and not move out I could have been done sooner since I would not have had to work as much. Oh well, I like living out on my own.

I bet the two of you are getting very anxious to be done. I'm on my 4th year right now so It will take me 5 years to finish as well.

I perfer papers to tests as well because you can BS. I also like short answer on tests. I HATE mulitple choice with a passion. I always do bad it seems like.

Anxious is good word.LOl But I'm in the midst of studying for the LSAT and then getting my Law School applications out before April, while balancing 17 units (5 clasess and lab). So I'm not really looking forward too it. And if I never have to discuss Politics again after graduation, it'll be too soon. LOL Although, I would like to thank AMC for giving me the perfect topic for my Senior summation, and even examples for my argument. MMT and her hacking skills are good for something. LOL :lol:

Awwwwww, it'll be okay. You're getting there. And believe me, when you get to the end...you'll be like, " OMG that went so fast" and "I can't believe I did that." :)

I'll trade you, gladly.LOL No one told me the LSAT is such lame crap. And there's like these math questions on it, OMG, I'm in trouble. LMAO I couldn't do Math to save my life, and my ticket to law school depends on a bunch of questions a nice chunk of which are math/spacial/graphical related. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

You know something funny is that a song has been written about my weekend hangout when I was in high school. I don't know how many of you know this and it is the honest to God truth...but I grew up and went to high school about ten minutes away from Checotah, Oklahoma home of Carrie Underwood. My mom graduated from there in 1981! Anyway, if you have her album then you've heard the song "I Ain't in Checotah Anymore" that is exactly where we would go and hangout.

The popular thing to do was drag main of course...we would go to the Sonic....drive down about a mile turn around in the parking lot of Nichol's grocery store...go by Sharpes, People's National Bank on the corner, the local mainstreet shops and back to Sonic...ALL NIGHT LONG!!! It was a total waste of gas, but it was cheap back then...and it was somewhat fun...I suppose. That is were we hung out and done our thing.

I posted this in the "Random Thoughts" thread, but I realized that it should go here:

Let me just say when you connect with someone, it's the greatest feeling in the world. I got up today expecting to have a very good time, but it was much more than I could have bargained for. I made reservations at the Brûlée (which is a dessert restaurant in AC) so Natalia and I could have a different take on breakfast. It was odd dressing up so early in the morning on a Saturday (the restaurant is located at The Quarter which is on the Tropicana Casino property and you have to meet their dress code to get into the Quarter). Anyways, she was totally taken aback that I did that for us and it worked out really well.

We had some Mille-Nuits (which is Chocolate Mousse with Tahitian & Madagascar Vanilla, Macadamia Nut Ice Cream, Macadamia Brittle) and Arabesque (which is Sablée Breton : Frais des Bois (wild berries) & Pistachio Cream). To finish it off, we had Chocolate Jubilation (which is Better than Grandma's chocolate cake, ooeey-gooeeey caramel, banana ice cream). Afterwards we went for a walk along the beach, then went home to change and hit the gym at Caesars Palace (we both have memberships).

There is nothing hotter than watching the girl (or guy) you are totally into than watching them work out. She's a runner (which I'm not) but it was cool. After about an hour, we went to the spa (part of the gym) to wind down and relax. We then went our separate ways but met back up later.

Some friends of ours had reservations for lunch at the The Palm restaurant (also at the Quarter at the Tropicana) at 3:00 so we went there for lunch. After our workout we were kinda hungry. Anyhoo, we said our goodbyes and after lunch and promised to try and meet up later on in the week.

This was the best date I've had in like two years. Natalia's a cool girl, very chill. And we talked. We TALKED!!! It's so great to have meaningful conversation. She just gives off such confidence in a non-arrogant way.

Can't wait until Tuesday!!

    • In my usual account on my most used video hosting site with the video title  DAYS 1-8-15 Will & Paul Sex This is an edit I began when I was first teaching myself to edit & at that time I couldn't make it do what I wanted it to do. I pulled it up & finished it this morning. 
    • Or Megan is shot as retaliation for Dave's unpaid gambling debts...while Julie confesses she's the biological mother of Special Guest Star Barry Bostwick's little boy.
    • Finland seemed such an odd choice for a location shoot. ATWT went to Greece and later Spain while GL had Tenerife and there were others in that timeframe. But Finland not being a known tourist destination or offering the tropical/sunny atmosphere usually associated with location shoots seems off brand. Maybe they were negotiating a deal with a tourist association and it fell through.
    • I was talking about 1986, but the glimpses of 1982 are about the same. 
    • I skimmed some of the 1982 synopses; Steve was planning on an opening an office in Finland, and I think Jim went there as part of the preparation. That probably was a big issue; AW had already gone to San Diego that year, with Rachel/Steve/Mitch. And to upstate NY with Pete and Diana. I wonder if upstate was as expensive lol  AW in 1982 has always fascinated me, because of how messy it was 
    • That makes sense. What a messy time for the show. And any changes they made were mostly for the worse.
    • The transition from Neal to Adam was very abrupt, and to be honest my theory is that the character of Neal was designed so that we think he is super shady but then it turns out that he was on the side of good all along so Neal could have seamlessly become a hero of the BCPD with no need for Adam. I don't know whether Robert Lupone was hired on a short contract or if he was fired from a longer-term contract because they decided they wanted someone who was more of a leading man type, but I can imagine a scenario where Charles Grant did both the undercover Egyptian treasure/flirt with Victoria and the straighter-arrow day to day police investigation. But in my imagined scenario the MJ prostitution plotline probably doesn't exist and instead he probably continues a relationship with Victoria. The story seems very odd to me. I assume that David Canary would have been included only because a plotline where Steve is going to Finland in which only Rachel is seen in actual Finland seems unlikely. The synopses explicitly mention that Alice can't go with Steve but would whoever was playing Alice at that time have had the kind of clout to get the remote cancelled? It also strikes me as unlikely that production would have approved the expensive location shoot and *then* cancelled it only because of jealousy. It seems more likely that they rejected it because of the expense but then the jealousy part got added to the gossip speculatively, possibly because while it was being worked out they justified not including more castmembers because of the expense. 
    • My comment has nothing to do with cast resentment, but does relate to the Finland location shoot: It may be a coincidence, but Jim Matthews died in Finland in 1982.  Hugh Marlowe's final episode was in April 1982, but the character probably didn't die untll May or June. (I'm unable to find the character's date of death, only the date of Marlowe's final episode). SInce Jim and Rachel had very little interaction after around 1975, it is unlikely Jim's death in Finland had any connection to Rachel's potential visit, but the choice to have Jim die in that location at that time is a head-scratcher.  I'm sure the writers sent Jim on an extended trip (and off-screen) because of Marlowe's illness.  But Finland seems like a strange choice considering the (then) recently cancelled location shoot.  
    • I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him.
