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.

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":

Damned valedictorians get all the good stuff. We salutatorians get nothing. :-P

I got $100 for something I did Sophmore year and I'm neither Valadictorian nor Salutitorian :P
Jun 11, 2006 MSKanaka link
We don't have class rank, so there's none of that valedictorian or saluatorian crap. :P

I am, however, getting $13300 per year at WPI >_>

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.

Ohhh, I wanna play. (Miss me, guys?)

Graduated from HS, June 14, 2006.
Entering UW-Madison in the class of 2010.
It's about 2,000 miles away from home?

I guess there's comfort in the fact that I will be no where near Roguelazer. :P
