me too. and academic bowl...it was cool to be a nerd at my hs. lol

morning all!

I wish it had been cool to be a nerd at my high school! That would have made life sooo much easier growing up. In middle and high school, it was "cool" to fail classes or get by with a C. I could never get into that mentality.
 
mu alpha theta?!?!?!

Nope, not that I can recall. We didn't have a chapter of that at my school. Instead, we just travelled around to different competitions around Georgia throughout the year.
 
In my high school the cool kids all had good grades, but the key was to see who tried the least.
 
ok you guys.
heart attack time.
i would give both my arms (and I seriously value my arms) not to be an Emory undergrad right now.
LIKE SERIOUSLY
ALL CAPZZZZ!
 
Nope, have you?

Well I'm readind Dreams from my Father right now and it's far exceeding my expectations... I didn't know his life was so all over the place.

I want to read audacity next but don't wanna check it out if it's lousy.

It's not lousy. I did the same thing, I read Dreams of my Father and loved it so I naturally grabbed the second one. I found it a little too...preachy. Maybe that's just me though.
 
The hospital is such a disgusting place. Why did I ever consider doing academic medicine? Just sounds so...blehh
 
hey all! I was gonna tell you that I have to drive out to Oak Brook so I'll be back in an hour... then I realized none of you would know where that was relative to where I live.


...I'll be back in about an hour. lol Just wanted to say "hey", and Metallica, definitely mentioned that you've been to X other schools and School Y is where you want to be still.


Btw, Not-Top 10 just came on, and I totally agree! hahahaha Freakin' sumo takedown was hilarious.
 
I dunno where you are now, but I do know where oak brook is! I used to live in Naperville.
 
Sportscenter not top ten is hilarious today.

i love not top ten!


guess what guys-i just ran 5 miles straight!!😀

my run started off awful: soo windy and cold, chose the wrong way on the path that still had a foot of snow on it, and my dog was pulling and sniffing like crazy!

but then it got awesome: i turned around and the other direction was perfectly plowed (my starting point is right on town lines, so apparantly the one town just doesnt care about plowing the bike path), the sun came out and the wind stopped and i could feel my hands/toes again, and tia (my dog) got into a great rhythm and behaved perfectly for the last 4+ miles. i was literally smiling and singing along to sarah buxton (anyone else like her?) while running...i'm such a goof lol

then i had a scare at the end: i'd tucked my car key into my ipod holder thing and it dropped out somewhere along the path. i started retracing my steps and some nice lady had picked it up and returned it to me. completely restores my faith in humanity when things like that happen!🙂

how's everyone else's day going so far?
 
:hello: Good morning!

There, now my avatar is my schools motto, so you all should have no problem recognizing me.

I like the new one.

That's dumb. :laugh:

Breaking my silence early. First half of my test went well, so I'm eating a victory snack pack while waiting for the next half to start.

Sweet. Beast the next half!

Congrats, yo. I need to start running again but it's hard to start again....

sigh..

On a similar note, does anyone have the new nike frees? V5.0 I think? Are they better than the first editions? I really liked them but they tore up in a month. Wondering if the newest ones are more sturdy and can take some actual mileage....

I had the original Nike Frees. They were so comfortable, but like you said, I tore the thin backs of the heels off in 2 weeks.

Just made a weird-shaped omelet, now I know I can actually make an omelet. Yay.
 
by the way i know you guys are all so eager to know if i have been sticking to my exercise plan, i haven't -BUT i just got back from the gym aaaaand walked to work from there so yayyyy im back on track 🙂

plus i had to wake up super early for this, thats so unlike me to sacrifice sleep 😱
 
i love not top ten!

Awesome job jackson!! I love how a good run can be energizing. lucky break with the keys too. having to backtrack is the worst, especially when you're ready to be done. I got my run in this morning as well. I didn't have any crazy snow or anything to deal w/ tho.

almost forgot: goood friday morning!

I must admit that I have also not been sticking to my exercise plan. However! I played two games of floor hockey this week and refereed one more. I get an hour and a half of skating in tonight. After that, who knows?!


SPRING BREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK.

If Matt Ryan stays healthy all year, the Falcons could win the division - they will be good.

To be honest, though, I couldn't care less if the Saints went 0-16 next season. Holy crap, the Saints won the Super Bowl!!! 😱

Agreed, that division is a two-horse race between Falcons and Saints next year.

It's not about Ryan staying healthy though, it's about Michael Turner and the pass rush.

Turner was just getting going last season when he went down and missed the last 4 games or so of the season.

And after having 16.5 sacks in 2008, John Abraham was abducted by aliens last year.
