AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.

procrastination is like masturbation...it seems like a good idea at the time, but in the end you're only screwing yourself.
I've got my last chem class and last chinese class on monday. I'm in my last human rights class right now, and my harlem renaissance and global politics classes are done. I wish i was "done."
I have a TON of stuff left to do though:
1. meet tomorrow morning against Wesleyan. This means the amount of sleep I get will be minimal.
2. Rough draft of Chinese paper (~200 characters) due by 4pm Tuesday. Final draft (~250 characters) due Thursday.
3. Harlem Renaissance paper on Cane due by 4pm Tuesday.
4. Doubled-up practices next week-- we're not in classes, that means we can practice 4 hours a day, right? Oh, and 5.5 hours on lifting days. Wooo.
5. Paper on Darfur for Human rights; final 10-12 page paper due on 12/21. I'll be home by then and the last thing I'll want to do is write a paper, so I have to finish by 12/17.
I feel bad for anyone who has to deal with me for the next two weeks. Sleep? What's sleep? I have caffeine running through my veins instead of blood!
You should consider yourself lucky you didn't pursue an engineering degree. You've got all party classes!!!

Party classes if you like writing a hundred pages per class per semester. Or if you like reading thousands of pages of BS per class per semester. Yes, it's a blast.

Chinese?...What possesed you to take chinese? I think it would be cool, but seems like it would be hard as ****....atleast with something like spanish they use the same letters for the most part.

I speak Spanish fluently, so taking Spanish is kind of a moot point for me.
What possessed me to take Chinese. Well, hm. It's a long story that starts with 3/4 of my friends being Mandarin-speaking Chinese, and ends with me deciding to be a modern languages/pre-law double major. I chose Chinese because it's a huge country, and it's only getting bigger and more powerful; I'm going into international law. I am also studying abroad for a semester in either Beijing or Shanghai, so... speaking Chinese is a must.
Chinese is really difficult at first, or it was for me. The sounds are different from English, and pinyin is an awful system... it doesn't show you the phonetics AT ALL, even though it's supposed to. Learning tones was a pain in the butt as well; there is nothing even analagous to it in English. Learning characters is difficult, but only because all you can do to learn them is rote memorization-- really boring, but not so hard. The language itself, I've found, is obscenely simple grammatically; it's all common sense. There's a distinct pattern for everything. It's not like English where you can mix up subjects and verbs and predicates and direct or indirect objects. Once you know the pattern, it's not hard to apply it.
