Aiming for BSc in MechE in '08. After that, er. MSc, I guess. And maybe a doctorate.
I dunno why, but Jex... that seems very fitting to my school life. I do just enough to get through, and nothing more, nor nothing less. Maybe i am misunderstanding and failing to comprehend, but... i do indeed like that quote.
Does getting out of the Marines count as some form of graduation? It is definatly a major point in my life as I can restart said life.

Well so much for our truce, eh Miharu? Anyway I assumed it wasn't the only thing Solra was working on, I was just using it as an example to make a point. Sorry for insulting your master.
I think the following applies as much to people starting college as to those finishing. Specially the part about the "yes, and":

We don't have class rank, so there's none of that valedictorian or saluatorian crap. :P

While the author was being (mostly) sarcastic on that particular tip, he had a point. In America, overuse of British spellings and connotations can look like plagiarism because most students there aren't taught to use them. I myself use the "standard" American spellings for most of the words that have differences, but you'll notice that I use "greyspace" instead of "grayspace". For one, "grey" is easier for me to type at high speeds. Then there's also the fact that it just looks nicer that way.
No way man, gray looks tons nicer.
I have been working on it! Didn't you see cubedude?! >_>
