Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.
And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

Also I think it was different for me because being in sciences you have many more required courses so if you put them off you are majorly screwed, actually I don't think it is even possible. You are right that the intro courses, when taken in your final year, are incredibly inane, unless you are taking them to boost your average. Be thankful for the opportunity to take electives as there are programs, engineering for one, where you get a grand total of 2 credits the entire 4 years to take what you want. Personally I am not sure that is a very well rounded education.
Hey if you can take some music courses i would definitely recommend it. The ethnomusicology course I took was amazing - i think it was World Music.
On the serious and maybe a bit sappy side, I can tell you it does change your life even if it isn't your own child.
Before my nephew was born I never wanted anything to do with kids. Never really smiled at them. They usually just got in my way.
Now after watching him grow up over the past 9 years I always smile at kids and say hello to them. When I buy cereal I buy the one with the coolest toys in them and give them to little kids at the race track.

Kicker i thought of you today. On my walk there was this dude and his girl taking pictures of his new wheels down by the water. I remembered a thread talking about the best backdrop for vehicular pictures. It was kinda funny watching them stage the shot. I liked the one with the sail boat flying the spinnaker behind it. I bet they are great pics

I hope you had a good trip?

Brian, I moved so even if I had been home you wouldn't have caught me. I didn't get home until 7am today.
Sooz, I love the tube. LOVE. Much better than the NYC subway. *shakes fist* I miss all the "Mind the gap" and everything The trip was awesome <3 Too bad I didn't get a chance to talk to you before I left, we could have met up while I was there!

I ate dinner at the coolest place tonight: O Noir It's completely in the dark, and the servers are all blind. You order before you go in, and you eat without being able to see anything. Really an amazing experience. Yummy food too.
Bret Michaels took three of his girls there during the last season of Rock of Love. It was interesting to watch. Not sure I'd ever want to eat at one of those places myself!

Probably an easy way to pass off leftover poutine that's becoming green and moldy

Just being able to swipe my card at the tube and even on buses was amazing. I didn't have to stand in line to get a ticket, I didn't have to talk to morons who don't speak English or understand the question "Which train goes to Penn Station?" All I had to do was swipe the card and run to my platform. The trains run every five minutes instead of every 15-20, I could get to almost anywhere within a half hour, it was awesome.
