I\'ve found the past week to be a revelation in studying for finals and completing work for the end of the semester. I\'ve basically been a two-cup a night coffee-drinking hermit in my room with my e-mailbox open at all times and the speakers turned up so while I\'m reading or writing I can hear a .info update arrive. I take a quick break, fulfill my social interaction needs, and spin my chair one hundred and eighty degrees returning to my education. It honestly has curbed a lot of stress.

So thank you guys for putting up with my rants full of caffeine. You don\'t know it but you\'re helping me earn a degree with some sanity.

I was thinking more along the lines of Major League 2.

Philosophy, Literature, Geology (last science lab of my life!), Human Nutrition. However I just recently switched to Sociology as my major which I\'ll be tackling hard for the next, and hopefully last, three semesters of my under-grad studies. All of my required Gen Eds. are finished which is a relief. 50 total credits to go.

Has anyone here ever read Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison? I just finished my final paper on it for my independent study.... fantastic book. Next time you\'re stumbling through a library or bookstore, just pick it up and read the Epilogue.

i laughed when i saw this cause ive always been one to go to bed at like 8pm and get up at 3am to study, rather than stay up late and get up at regular time.

if you\'re like me, it will help prepair you for a career of getting up at 3am for work. :thumbsup:

You should have majored in television like I did... only one real project in four years (remember all those surveys you dotINfOers filled out for me?).
