I just wanna say: I did not take the moose away (like some people have complained to me...) This is his idea... (though, I do agree with it)

...I enjoy phatmass phlirting too much to suggest that.






Yeah, Jeff... I said that. :mellow: :P

That's what I thought too. Why did my middle age crisis have to involve going back to school? A red convertible would have been more fun. Well, except today since it is supposed to snow.

I went to my first stat test in college completely intoxicated. It was one of those big tests they give at night for all the different sections combined. My roommate and I, and her boyfriend and his roommate decided to cram over dinner together. We picked a place that gave free pitchers of beer with nachos during happy hour. I could barely walk when I went to get up. Three of us ended up making 100's, and my roommate made an 98 somehow. I did misspell my name on the exam though, and the prof caught it. It didn't dawn on me for years that he thought I'd had someone take the test for me. We lucked out that it was the first test and included mostly stuff like average and mean. I never did that again.

I can almost relate Catherine. In my last semester of undergrad a group of us gathered to study for my American Presidency final at a local bar and grill. Well, I was the only one who didn't walk out of there completely smashed (I'm a lightweight alcohol wise and one beer had me tipsy)...it turns out my friend Dom is really quite brilliant in the realm of politics whether drunk or sober as he also managed an A on the final. I think we were the only two who did...I vividly remember one girl leaving in tears, and another guy who was almost in the same shape she was in, whimpering as he left.

Two questions, each worth fifty points. I forget the first, but the second was a quick summary (or as quick as one can be on the matter) as to every major and minor aspect of running your theoretical candidate's campaign and whether or not you would delve into illegal means, and if you did how would you manage to try to get away with and cover your tracks, etc.

Now my Terrorism essay final I didn't even approach anything but utterly sober. Sample question from memory, it scarred me that badly:

[quote]Describe in detail the birth of Al Quaeda pre-Osama bin Laden through his rise to power to the modern era (this includes debunking the idea that bin Laden is solely responsible for this organization's founding and concepts of such). Be sure to include all relevant figures in the organization's history, and for those deceased be sure to explain how, why, and when they were killed if not by natural causes. Explain also the cellular nature of the organization and how information continues to spread from one cell to another through both old methods of communication and newer electronic forms. Also for a few bonus points explain how the organization maintains legitimate forms of funding in addition to its vast array of illegitimate income.[/quote]
