It sounds similar to the film class I had in college. The course was a semester long, and focused primarily on film as an art form. We analyzed how filmmakers structured dialog and shoot scenes in certain ways to illicit the proper responses from the audience. It was a very insightful and fun course. The first film we watched and analyzed was the silent film Metropolis by Fritz Lang.
The high school course I took couldn't be taken serious. We'd watch a Sherlock Holmes flick and then I'd turn in a paper discussing what I liked about the film. "I loved how Holmes was able to solve the murder, prevent an assasination attempt and recover the crown jewels all by analyzing a fiber he found in the swamp" was enough to warrant an A in class.
Meh, my GPA is going to drop from my old 4.0's into the mid-low 3's as I'm at the point in high school where I just don't care as I dislike many of my teachers...
I hope they won't be so anal in college... :slant:
ugh grades :teach:.... I barely passed highschool, with a cumulative GPA of well under 2.0 :redface: . Despite that, I somehow picked up an academic scholarship to a school where the average GPA for incoming freshman was a 3.8! :eek:. I'm still not quite sure how that happened, but I like it.
In college my study habits haven't changed at all, but now that homework doesn't matter my GPA has shot up to around a 3.0 or so, and my classes are all MUCH harder .
I for one am very happy I never took a film class. Imagine being trapped in a dark classroom watching "artistic" movies every day. I've already got a hard enough time staying awake in classes that actually interest me! I'd never stay awake through that
Ok, here's a question that's really been bugging me lately. Which of these best demonstrats that sarcastic feeling you get when saying, "yeah, cause mono blue control dominates the t2 metagame..."
I was told today that this kid on my team called 911 twice this morning and hung up both times. They called back and his dad answered. The reason the kid called 911? He got an erection and didn't know what to do. I wish I was making this up.

I might be BSing myself. I don't know. My debt isn't too high. But it will get higher with the masters program. If I had better grades I could get into the PhD program like most biologists do, thats funded by the university. Ah well, no use crying over spilt milk.
I have to write an essay for the masters degree application. Part of it is simply saying why I want to get my masters degree. Honestly, I'm not sure why. I have no burning desire to obtain it, but at the same time I know that only with a masters, if not a PhD, will I be able to do what I want in life. I'd love to make that Brunei Research trip a regular thing. For some odd reason I know what I want but at present time don't have the drive to get me there.
I was thinking about my grades and realized that there is a constant trend that I seem to follow for each of them. I don't treat the class seriously enough at the beginning. As a result I do poorly on the first two exams and have to do exceptionaly well on the last two just to pass the class with a C. This paniky, crunch time scenario seems to be the only thing that can drive me to work extremely hard. By the end of the class I can sigh a bit of relief, wipe the sweat off my brow, and look happily at my C with the thought that at least I passed. The most recent was my developmental biology class where I needed a 96% average on the last two exams. Fixing This will be a new years resolution that I intend to keep. (I can still make new year resolutions two weeks after new years, can't I?)

Yippy!!!!! I have what I call the midnight giggles...well I heard it called that from soneone anyway....It's a syndrom of beeing up so long, that your so tired, and everything seems funny. Oh, and your not a very coherent person.
It's 4:00 AM here and I just finished my Masters program essay. It's a decent one I think, though I bet I'll feel differently tomorrow....after some sleep. Did I mention the due date for everything is tomorrow? yeah, I found that out today. Lucky for me, or maby it's just policy, the school is willing to extend the due date for me untill the 21st....so I still have a chance....yea me.
And Blod...um...tom...I mean Mike, I suppose I can make a resolution whenever I want, but that doesn't make it a new years resolution now does it. For some reason New years resolutions are suppose to hold more clout....or something like that anyway.
lol, I wonder if this is kinda the feeling when some of you guys post drunk. I've never posted drunk or high or on anything, but I imagin being sleep deprived has a similar effect.
Well got to go...later all.
Daggertooth......:)
Edit:Hey Mike, I went to the clan thread and noticed that we still mention that our clan total is 12 and that we reside on MTGnews. That is something I think needs to change cause if we don't change it and people go to our clan web page they will think we are still on mtgnews when in fact we are not and that can be quite confusing to some people even if they go to our web page through mtgsalvation.

If anything, I've always felt that New Years Resolutions held LESS clout, because people only really make them because it's New Years.
Also..why are you calling Tom Mike?
Congrats on finishing your Masters...that's unbeilevably exciting, really, to have gone so far through school. TomMike is probably having a wet dream about that right now.
I've always heard of that 'midnight giggles' called being 'Slap Happy'
Yay! First semester is finally over now...thank God.
Now I get to tell myself I'll study and do better next semester, and then when it starts, I'll get lazy and just play Halo2 or talk to you guys on here...
Much better idea

Wow the speed of this thread has really slowed down!
Let's get it back up again!
Thanks B_D for adding me to the members list on the website.
I will making my own page soon enough so expect that somewhat soon.
I am sorry to inform you that we are fully staffed for the Spring
semester. I will definitely keep your applications and see what we can
do next semester. If you want me to add you to our private tutoring
list let me know, I do get many requests from parents and students for
private tutors.
Thank you for your application,

So I've officially not got the job. I'll be alright with it. What gets me though is that the semester starts in four days (four days, weeee!) so you'd think they'd have been able to tell me this much earlier.

I'm home from college because of a damn scabies outbreak in my dorm. They had to close the dorm and send us home, without reimbursment. Whatever, some of my friends aren't back at college yet.
I'm really enjoying my Critical Thinking class. This class is insane; today we talked about moral relativism and pacifist/fascist nations. Eventually, we'll be getting into logical fallacies and Science and Pseudoscience. I'm loving this class.

Ah, the dreaded "we'll keep it on file for future positions" rejection. I hate that! Like anyone really believes they'll keep your resume on file, and in two years when another position opens up they'll dust that bad boy off for another look.
I actually have no doubt that they will. From what I can tell, I am one of three people who applied for a position, and only one (the first to apply) got in. The rest was staffed by returning people, who naturally get senority. And because they only higher on a per semester bases, I don't fully doubt that they'll keep it around to look at come June.

School taught me that Scabies was an STD. I only recently learned that it is not JUST an STD.

Watch teh saix from now awwwn in school.
I have finally been using the foxytunes extension for firefox. I love it.
I never really listened to music on my computer, only in my car. Thats awl changing now.
I am going to that with my cousin and my friend if possible.
I am trying to get tons of people to go. It may be rather interesting. I am kinda excited about it actually.
I voluntarily worked 9-9 today as a pharmacy cashier, because the girls at work were complaining about how busy it was. I am such a tool when it comes to helping girls out.
I kinda like one of my coworkers and it is such a bad idea, and that probably fuels the idea. She kept joking that we would go clubbing after work, and I asked her what she was actually doing and she said she was going to sleep. Lame.
(Its a bad idea because she hates one of my other female friends, the feelings are mutual, and I have been told she is...nuts. W/e)
I think its mainly because I need to be around more attractive available females.
For my birthday weekend I think I am going to go up to the campus (Uconn Storrs) where I will FINALLY reside in this fall, and party with girls.
Girls are funny sometimes. I asked my friend (shes a girl) about going up to Uconn and she said 'You can hang with me but that would mean going to big parties with like 15 drunk girls' Oh NOES!
I'm ranting mainly because livejournal is down, sorry guys. I am lame, huh?
Funny side note:
Last night my friend made the LAMEST pass at my friend Jess, and I thought she laughed it off, but she MISUNDERSTOOD IT. He turned to her, and said 'So...we gonna make out tonight?" and she thought he was talking about making out with my (boy) cousin....a joke that he started awhile ago because she really likes the concept of random boys kissing.
If she knew he was talking about her, it would have happened.
I don't feel bad for either of them. Neither has any problems finding people.
I have the choice to go to the latest Mana Drain event this weekend. I probably won't, even though my friend will set me up with a type one deck to play in it.
I might go to the prere next week, but there is a concert that night. I may have issues finding people to go with to the concert...and also the prere...so..

Sean, how long are you home for? When do you get to go back?
As for foxytunes, I have been enjoying it for quite some time now. The only problem is that on my laptop, I have the extra wide screen (1400 pixels) so I can find my browser and another application on the screen at the same time. This leads to it not being as super needed as it would be otherwise, but still nice when I'm writing a paper, webbing, and musicing.

seds: Partying with girls is good. If only you'd drink... *sigh*
Speaking of parties, I was ****-blocked like no other thursday night. We went to play pong at some chicks' house, and I ended up playing a drinking game with cards with 3 chicks I liked. One of them was really into me (or so I thought), and when I put my arm around her she moved away. After that, I scurried around trying to find one of two other girls there I liked, the one was trying to get back with her boyfriend (my friend [he also hates her]) and the other I was getting ****-blocked from by some dude. It sucked. I went back, and got ****-blocked AGAIN by some other dude (wtf is up with these random dudes?!) and then got ****-blocked the last time by my friend in MY ROOM whilst laying in MY BED. I went to sleep alone, angry, and horny. Not a good combination to have.
seds: Partying with girls is good. If only you'd drink... *sigh*
...I have been thinking alot about why I don't drink.
I don't know anyone who doesn't anymore. (that I am good friends with at least)
I am just afraid of doing it mainly. I have no real reason not to.
The phrase 'don't knock it til you try it' applies.
I figure my birthday weekend would be a good a time as any.
I am more apt to want to drink around girls than guys, I have always been more comfortable around girls anywheys.
Who knows? I am still trying to figure out who I am.
I do know that I will not be the type of kid that runs to alcohol whenever he is bored. And drinking games will always be really dumb in my eyes.
I'm going to Uconn, one of the biggest party schools I know of. I have to at least entertain the notion of me drinking. I can't run against the grain for no good reason.
I beg everyone to check out the band website in my sig. I love this band. Electric Violin is my fave part, in addition to the singer's voice. I have seen them 2x so far in the past month.
Running to alcohol when you're bored is a bad thing to do. When you drink, you need a reason. Usually, the reason is to hang out and socialize with/hit on girls. Othertimes, the reason is your birthday, or somebody else's birthday. Rarely will you ever get sloshed for no reason.
And drinking games are the shiznazz. They assist in socializing and having fun. You will meet more people playing drinking games and it's often the best way to get into close encounters with women.
Bah! All this talk of alcohol is getting me jealous now (Being underage and everything) ;)...
I wouldn't know a whole lot on drinking games, but I was at a party one time and I used cans of Mountain Dew instead of alcohol.... And for some reason or another, no one cared...
I know I always make sure to have a valid reason when I drink.
Like when the clock strikes noon, that's cause for celebration... and hey, it's noon somewhere, am I right?
I dunno. I'm not really a problem drinker, by any means. I might have a beer a day at tops, after work. There are rare instances where I have more. The thing is, I love the taste of beer. I sincerely prefer it to any soda on the market. So I have it, because I like it, I doubt that makes me much of an alcoholic... considering I limit myself to one... which if you knew my liquid intake levels (both in drinking capabilities and need for liquid in general) you'd realize how insignificant it is.
Should be cool.

I don't know anyone who doesn't anymore. (that I am good friends with at least)
I am just afraid of doing it mainly. I have no real reason not to.
The phrase 'don't knock it til you try it' applies.
I figure my birthday weekend would be a good a time as any.
I am more apt to want to drink around girls than guys, I have always been more comfortable around girls anywheys.
Who knows? I am still trying to figure out who I am.
I do know that I will not be the type of kid that runs to alcohol whenever he is bored. And drinking games will always be really dumb in my eyes.
I'm going to Uconn, one of the biggest party schools I know of. I have to at least entertain the notion of me drinking. I can't run against the grain for no good reason.
I beg everyone to check out the band website in my sig. I love this band. Electric Violin is my fave part, in addition to the singer's voice. I have seen them 2x so far in the past month.

And drinking games are the shiznazz. They assist in socializing and having fun. You will meet more people playing drinking games and it's often the best way to get into close encounters with women.

I wouldn't know a whole lot on drinking games, but I was at a party one time and I used cans of Mountain Dew instead of alcohol.... And for some reason or another, no one cared...

Like when the clock strikes noon, that's cause for celebration... and hey, it's noon somewhere, am I right?
I dunno. I'm not really a problem drinker, by any means. I might have a beer a day at tops, after work. There are rare instances where I have more. The thing is, I love the taste of beer. I sincerely prefer it to any soda on the market. So I have it, because I like it, I doubt that makes me much of an alcoholic... considering I limit myself to one... which if you knew my liquid intake levels (both in drinking capabilities and need for liquid in general) you'd realize how insignificant it is.
When you cross my mind you'd best look both ways.
I don't drive because i'm underage.
I know, most kids do anyways, But i'm not the rebelious type
