No, really its good, no sarcasm

This is a wonderful post about the greatness of college (and also university but i will refer to it as college cuz its easier to spell). this is mainly for 2 reasons, 1) to make all those non-collegians to make them realize what they are missing and those who are out of college to reminis (sp?) about the good old days of college life, ok that was reason 2, and 3) for all of us current collegians who are going throuhg finals right now, just to remind us all how much we like college. I cant really explain it but college is awesome. It is especially awesome for me cuz i got to move away from home and live on my own, also a good experience. College life is just so cool, where else can you sit at school for hours talking about things like spoon forks, or human catapults, or any other completely random topics. then you can go home and watch tv til 2 am then go to school for an hour and a half math class at 8. It is quite painful, but everyone understands because they have all done it. And the good old trying to explain a concept using all these formulas, on messanger. i have really enjoyed my college life and i havnt done much of the fun pranking (two words, spaghetti, microwave) and going for wings and beer, and tenting parties or kidnappings. but there are so many fun and exciting things to do at college. Go to college. it rocks. i will now leave you with 2 things. the first is quite nerdy but meh, this is the fomula for the probability of survival of a ceramic when a stress is applied. Ps=exp[-(σ/σy)^m]; (σ is stress). I just found it funny because it was given to us during the last week of classes and it was a formula with probability of survival due to an applied stress. I thought it sorta might apply to students as well. and the second ending leaving thing is a quote from today said by a friend of a friend. he is a CompE (computer engineer) in training. and the quote, "There is a time and a place for everything, and that place is college."

College is the place where you learn what to do, where to do it, and how to do it. And most importantly, how not to do all of the above.

Yes, I am still at school, studying away. Actually, since you and Todd left, I got an entire chapter completely learned in about 45 minutes. I think I should waste time with engineers more often, it makes me that much more productive when I actually do work. Then I decided to take a ten minute break, and I read your christmas list (such a good idea, I think I might do the same, ahh, we are so material, I love being a student sometimes for that very excuse). And I'm finally getting to my point... yes I actually have one. I think the picture of the nalgene water bottle is funny. That was my point. Well, back to physiology.
