I'm good. I just got a 90 on my paper - my first A of the semester!

lstone13 said:
Oh, I almost forgot... So I wanted to ask you guys if you knew anyone who was travelling to the gulf for cleanup efforts in the next couple weeks. If you do, what organization(s) are they working with? I was thinking I might try to plan a trip to go help out.

My gf might be cleaning some birds and so will I, if time allows. I can get back to you once I find some more info.

woot! glad you're feeling good about things 🙂



mmmmm... no. it's not just a regional thing. miami is actually called the U. google "the U" and see which school pops up.



now, now... lots of us are that crazy. not just big K.

On page 1 of the Google results, I get University of Miami, University of Minnesota, and University of Utah...

Congrats on that A! 🙂

And yes, definitely let me know about the clean up stuff once you find out.

Depending on what happens, there might be money available to do that.

I know during the 1989 spill a bunch of geology undergrads and PhD students made money going up to Alaska and helping out. I had a professor who did it as a PhD student and made like 50k for 3 months of work.

If you have iGoogle or a Gmail account, Google customizes your searches by linking them with previous inquiries. So, if you've search those schools before, they might pop up for your search of "the U."
 
searching the u gives me:

a generic college site, miami, miami (via espn), a tv station, miami, miami, missouri in st louis, missouri in st louis, utah, and miami

it's probably a regional thing. if you're in utah and say "the u," people are more likely to think you're talking about utah than miami. miami's definitely known more nationally as the "the u" though (well, at least in this californian's opinion)

oh no!


lstone-that's such a good idea to go help with cleanup. i wonder if we could get a group of sdn'ers together if we did it right before our meetup or something.


and also, just checked my to do list and remembered that i put down withdrawing from schools as "reject schools"😛 it made me feel very powerful lol

utah also refers to themselves as the u. so, no, not end of story. but we can agree to disagree. its rather trivial anyway. 🙂
 
I just watched every episode of scrubs 9. i guess its not so bad. sad that its over.

I'm sorry bleargh. you're right. you're always right. you know everything....sorta like billups being better than duncan. you're the smartest SDN poster ever. we should all bow down to you. :bow:
 
Top web results for "the U" point to University of Miami.
 
metallica81788 said:
Miami is the most nationally well known "The U" and we can make a poll and it would support that.
Click to expand...
you could also make a poll that asks people who live in Utah what the U is. the majority will say the U is in reference to the University of Utah.

i dont think that anyone is saying that Miami isnt known as the U. all we are saying is that Miami isnt the only U out there. at least thats what Im saying.

what does "top" mean? as mentioned before, a google search lists mutiple school on page 1. and again, if you don't believe that people in Utah believe that the U is in reference to the University of Utah, pick of a phone book and start dialing.

this discussion is rather meaningless. it all started over a few posters wanting to split hairs...

"yes it is"
"no its not"
"yes it is, cause I said so"
"no, its not, cause google said otherwise"
"im right"
"you're wrong"

🙄

actually, i take that back. this discussion started because someone didn't know what the U was in reference to. WHOA!!! someone on SDN didn't know what the U was in reference to? EVERYONE knows what the U is in reference to. blasphemy!
 
getting a little tense in here, ain't it?

otherwise, good morning peeps!

You're damn right it's getting tense.

This "U" thing is serious business. I don't understand how you guys can be so nonchalant about it.
