"No more school forever...the thought makes me all warm and tingly on the inside..."
What are you doing after school? I'm not familiar with how education goes over there.

"How can the prospect of war POSSIBLY be better than school???"
Because school sucks the life out of me, while danger makes me feel alive, sure-there's a chance of death, but I'd rather have a 1/20 chances of death than 1/1 of having to listen and learn inane material and totally waste my time.
I don't do boredom well.

Sweet mother of Spaghetti Monster, it's true.
This American College you speak of is, so far, NOT all it's cracked up to be. I love the independence, the SWEET FREEDOM, and my amazingly crazy roommates. The classes, however, are QUITE disappointing. They're boring. I mean..like...REALLY boring. I don't consider them a step up from High School. People are just as intellectually inhibited. This frustrates me.
Also, the amount of reading is just plain ridiculous. Ridiculous, I tell ya.
Actually, I have a rough draft of a paper due on Tuesday for my literature class that I should probably be working on, but screw that. Come 2am I'll be chugging away at it.
Oh yeah, and people are obsessed with drinking and sex. While this may sound good in theory, it is quite annoying in reality.

Now, I've heard some bad things, but you say it's on par with high-school?!

Give them time, college is supposed to be a life changing experience that opens people's minds, let it do it's thing.

Well, that's subjective-You're just very open-minded, being an Aqua moon and all.
But seriously, I've heard about a lot of people who learned a lot from this experience, and it kinda changed their prespectives.
But maybe that happend because of people like you they met in college who opened their minds...

I am curious as to why you would say you knew I studied it, though.

Hey Wheels and Yama
I totally understand Wheels, i'm still waiting for my life changing experience in college (im a 2nd yr Junior)...everyone seems to be closed minded also. Yes, i totally agree, the partying and drinking/sex obsession is annoying, especially when you aren't participating.
BUT the FREEDOM is awesome!

Maybe this doesn't apply to college-but the worst thing is that they don't let people choose what they wish to learn(not fully at least), they treat everyone like irresponsible idiots and make us waste our time.:/

"The left."
Really? That's supposed to mean that your right lobe is more developed than your left one, which is supposed to mean your arithmetic skillz are more developed than your verbal skillz-that's what I get for getting half-arsed test's off of the internet.
Anyway, I just got the feeling that you're a "left" person, you know how to express yourself verbally quite well, but I guess self-expression is a Leo thing, right? Signed Up:

Yama...I think you have it mixed up. Because I have ALWAYS heard that the right side of the brain is the creative, verbal one whereas the left side is the logical and mathematical one.

You're right, I accidentally classified verbal abilty along with other more "humane" abilities that the left brain controls.

Well, I'll do what they'd tell me to do, since I really do want to serve my country, but I reckon I'd prefer to be in the infantery, or maybe intelligence or tanks or somesuch.
Also, if someone'll offer me the chief-of-staff position I wouldn't refuse.

Right brain - Creativity, verbal, art, typically associated with extroverted behavior.

I am ambidextrous, though. So although the right dominates, if that theory is correct, it must be be by a small amount.

Nope, not really-I'm a fellow right brain, but I have a very good control of my left hand and foot, after I practiced it a bit, it's with math, at middle-school I was always failing, now, since I started listening I've got a 90 average, even though I don't do homework and I really don't study all that much.(lately I've been studying for a special test, so I've got to practice math without a calculator)
It's probably the Saturn in my third house-with some work I can do pretty well.
