Shout it from the rooftops

That or the "We're forced to commute because if we didn't we'd be couch potatoes with no social lives or decent jobs club"

Amen! Here you can go fishing for a social life and work for the tribe for a job or go to Texas.

Another person paying me to make a poi set!

At least you guys only have to leave the state, not the country.

Although there are a few Saffricans around.

Tee-hee some of our states are larger than many countries so I'm not sure if that's valid for everyone! Yeah I lucked out for ease of leaving Delaware by car.

And if you're in Hawaii *use to get the island fever BAD* or Alaska oh do you have a hike that requires a plane ticket.

But I must tell you Dave Matthews is an awesome African-American, no pun intended!

Okay a little pun intended, but factual statement!

Huh. This probably won't mean anything to anyone, but I just realized that Quine's referential indeterminacy theses uses a trick that's a staple of category-theoretic practice. He trades on the indistinguishability of isomorphic objects to reject one ontology (considered as a category of functions between kinds of entities) in favor of an equivalent, skeletal version of essentially the same ontology.

And if I've just thought of using category theory to study ontological problems and formal semantics, that means there must already be literature on the subject, calling out to me.... *starts googling*

college starts soonish!

UNICYCLE!

HEAT WAVE AGAIN!!!

It made my power go out last night and I roasted...

I need to start getting stuff together for college... < 3 weeks til I have to move. Also means 3 weeks left of work! haha

All this talk of college really makes me want to get things straightened out for grad school. It involves a very complicated legal situation, though

I'll never go back to college, I have an expensive piece of toilet paper that has put me more behind than anything else. All I have gained is the ability to have complex conversations and a better grounding to form my own thoughts about the world around me, interpersonal tools are good just not worth the time and money IMO. I am however toying with the idea of culinary school if I don't decide to have kids within the next few years...

Complicated legal situations are ordinarily catch 22s, I feel for ya grrrl!

It's not about the degree and what it's worth. It's about discovery and having the time, the structure, and the resources to get really deep into something fascinating and exciting.

Believe me, I've been pursuing my interests outside of school for the last five years, but i'm still not on par with a second year grad student; maybe not even with a first year. The schooling makes more of an impact than just the degree it produces.

That's very true, I just don't have cash to invest in interests that can't even get me a job without a phd. My husband and I both are disgusted with the student loan situation and degrees that are essentially useless for getting a good job so we live the military life.

If you can manage the hit to your credit score and wallet, go for it! And if not don't sweat it is my current motto.

I like cheese

Holy the moon is so bright it burned my eyes. This is not supposed to happen downriver the air is too polluted.

In Australia (for aussie citizens) we have HECS or whatever it is called now where you dont have to pay your loan until you earn a certain amount but if you work in the field you study in you dont have to pay it back until you stop. makes university worth while if you can handle being poor for 5/6years while you study

speaking of which, UNI started today.

8hrs of class.

What about cross-disciplinary stuff, like a computer scientist who starts working in bioinformatics? Just idly curious.

GOD DAMN work making sure that the internet is a useless tool for all employees by not upgrading something as simple as IE. Bunch of twats and no amount of arguement with tech support will change this. Further more (and this is the most important point) i cant see anything on theis page except the text on these boards. No pictures, to tut vids, nothing! What else am i suppose to do all day?
