I'm hoping to be a student again by this time next year. I mean, I've almost paid off my last set of student loans, and so what would I do with all my money?Quote:

How a street sign like this could exist makes a lot more sense now--thanks for the learning!Quote:

I'm hoping to beat those scores this time, although my scores from the practice tests I took yesterday were a little bit lower.

Nifty--I have a friend who did that (different school)--in another life, I'd love to work in a library. What sort of scores is the program looking for? Does the math/quantitative matter much to them?Quote:

Still, some of my undergraduate grades were mediocre, so I'd like to use the GRE as an opportunity to set myself apart from the pack a little bit.
Plus, I'm crazy competetive when it comes to standardized tests.
Further, the reason is that "rape" is the name for a particular Old World plant; its leaves are used for fodder and its seeds are used for an oil. The oil's name? Rape oil, of course.Quote:

Plenty of rain, lack of sun....
Can't wait for tomorrow's balmy 30 degrees! :P
Today someone stole my shovel.
I cant decide if this guy is badass or insane.
When I'm drunk, I fucking love life. When I'm not drunk, I love life but don't realize it.
Weird.
You're having what an alcoholic moment of clarity man :)Quote:

Sure, I'll need a sunlight fix when I get home, but this trip is pretty good. Pity I won't make it to Copenhagen until my flight!
Yep, another all-nighter with crazies.
A 17-year old skinny kid who had the "magic stick" or PCP w/marijuana. Took five cops to get him down. He couldn't stop apologizing when we got there, and kept repeating how he wanted to go home and play the Playstation. His heart rate was 200+
Drunk girls that had their party "invaded" by guys. Cops break it up, pull a girl out of the apartment, she sprains her ankle, but later claims she was pistol-whipped by the cops. We didn't see anything, and she refused treatment. Nice try.
And a couple other legit medical calls. Sheesh. And now I'm at regular work, superclose to falling asleep as I type.
What is Seattle?Quote:
