I think I will do that. Thanks.
Now enough about me, I feel so selfabsorbed!

Anybody else have any problems?

Tomorrow night I probably will, love. Let's here your problems. I already had my meltdown yesterday.

No problems yet, just usual stuff.

My oral exam is in less than a week! Ahhhhhh! 15 minutes of being completely TERRIFIED, and trying to remember random things about any of the books we've read this term. Ahhhhhh!

A week? You don't need to study. Just ask Tiff, you can do it an hour before.

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 12/3/04 at 8:24pm

C'mon, it wasn't an HOUR. it was like, 5 hours. okay, maybe 3 hours.

Allie - what's your topic on? what books did you read? i love oral exams!

[Allie]

Posted: 12/3/04 at 8:30pm

We've read (this is just a sampling):
The Odyssey, Homer
The Divine Comedy, Dante
The Aeneid, Virgil
Saint Augustine's Confessions
The Republic, Plato
The Epic of Gilgamesh
Genesis, Exodus, a bunch of other books from the Bible
Utopia, Thomas More
some Martin Luther writings
some of Montaigne's Essays
...and, oh, so much more.

We don't get told what the topic is beforehand... and actually, it's THREE topics. 5 minutes per question.

UGH.

Oh good god that's difficult to study for!

[Allie]

Posted: 12/3/04 at 8:59pm

You're telling me! I don't even know where to start.

Woman! Figure out my logic game!

Hi everyone! Any exciting plans? I'm going out soon, no doubt a slight amount of alcohol will pass my lips. Is underage drinking morally reprehensible? I'm just trying to fit in with my boozehound friends...

[Type_A_Tiff]

no exciting plans. Napping and studying and watching SatC (not nec in that order).

Underage drinking is morally reprehensible but justifiable in MANY circumstances.

[Ellie3]

Posted: 12/3/04 at 9:23pm

My icon is what I shall be consuming tonight.

And napping and SatC? In years to come many will ask - so Tiff, how did you end up this state? And you will respond - Well, the night before important exams I tended to nap, and watch DVDs, between checking Broadway message boards...'

Edit - I changed my icon, don't worry, I shan't be consuming Ms.Lawson! Updated On: 12/3/04 at 09:23 PM

You know, you're only like half joking because that's probably very true. This board will be the death of me.

Ellie shame on you! that being said, be responsible, dont drink and drive tdont ride with anyone who has been drinking etc.. I used to do it, but my parental units were awesom and always told me if I drank just call them to pick me up..

Jasper this is a little late, but you are not self absorbed.. I know you are very concerned if people know and how they will react.. I cant' say if you are being as you say paranoid or not because I'm not witnessing it.. But I can say that your fear can intensify the perception of different behavior.. You are human after all.. Frankly you shouldn't worry about what they think or what they know.. It's a job.. You are a good person and they will either except you for that or they wont.. Their loss if they act stupid.. You dont need the drama in your life. You are going through enough right now without the added complications of stupid people at work.. That being said I woudl recommend laying low for a few days, try to relax and breathe deep.. Remove yourself fromt he situation, try to see their actions and reactions not from your eyes but from some random onlookers perspective.. Then make the decision if you want to confront your other coworker..

Don't worry camerangel, I'm always responsible in my illegal activities!

OK, I've got my gladrags on, and I'm off out...have fun losers!

Well, now that I've found an avatar that's actually scarier than Delph's self-portrait, it's hard for me to pay any mind to her.
