You know, I didn't manage to capture what I was feeling after reading my old college papers, and instead just ended up sounding like I was bragging. My bad. (Sorry, ElJay, your post isn't going to make sense now.)
Anyhow, it's just odd reading these things. I remember my whole life focused on a paper for weeks at a time, and now I barely remember writing them.

What kind of an advisor gives you an A+ because he can't understand what you wrote but it sounded good? How lazy can you get?
Posted by Intelligence3 (Member # 6944) on :
Well, it was flattering at the time.

You should trying using those papers to pick up hot chicks.
If it doesn't work, toss them.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
It's already working, Ralphie...
You replied to it, didn't you?
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
I didn't think it sounded like you were bragging.
But that's okay, I'm used to not making sense.

Don't mind me. Just getting to that illustrious Landmark point Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :
I3 - Already you have El Jay, Kwea and I posting here! And we're ALL hot chicks! (Well, maybe not so much El Jay. I totally wouldn't talk to her if she was hot.)
edit: You're totally in my way, Boris. Now it's not nearly as funny.

Yeah, me either.
edit: And your edit ruined my post, Ralphie. The nerve!

Stupid Boris. It's all his fault.
And I'm just kidding, btw. I would totally only talk to you if you were hot.
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
Good thing I'm not, then, so I don't have to waste my time listening to you.
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
Man, you better not have left for the night, 'cause if we leave it there people are gonna think we're really dissin' each other.

I wouldn't diss you! You're associated with powerful, powerful people who might come and give me wedgies if I'm not nice to you.
(Except I3, of course, who I will someday be sending to WedgieVille, population: Him.)
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
I am NOT a hot chick.
Hell, I'm not even a hot GUY, although my wife might disagree with me on that one.
That is why I love her so.....
Poor eyesight!

So do you think dkw is gonna be giving you a wedgie then, or Bob? 'Cause I gotta tell you, I'm just not seeing it either way.
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
Really Kwea? For some reason I thought you were a girl...
Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :
While I know he's gentle as a lamb, Bob looks like he has the solid gripping action of a thousand latex polymers. And considering his height, it would be natural to simply lift. And consequently separate.
My cheeks and I don't want to take that chance.

See, the joke is that she's a he. But thinking he's a she just makes it better.

Kwea is sooooo a girl!!!
I've met her, I should know!
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Kama, be nice...I almost bought you a copy of Enders Game in Polish....signed by OSC, from Boskone.
I didn't because you called me a girl. Or maybe I did buy it, but now I won't send it....
Hell, I should be happy, Ralphie called me hot!

wait... where would you find a copy of Ender's Game in Polish? Liar.

I nagged my husband into finally throwing out his old college notes last year. He's been out of college for several years, and in my mind there was no reason to have an entire box of old papers that served no use. I promptly threw away my notes after each class was finished, as well as my papers.
This semester I'm taking my English comps, which include an essay and a big exam. I asked my advisor how to study, and she replied, "Oh, just look through all your lit class notes."
Thank goodness I at least saved my textbooks.
My husband will never let me live this down.

Heh. I put up many of my old college papers on my web site. Dang it, I put a lot of work into those. They must surely count for something!
Posted by plaid (Member # 2393) on :
Space Opera -- see, I've been out of school for more than 10 years now, and I'm still holding onto my old school notes and papers just in case something like that ever happened. I mean, I doubt I'll ever ever ever want to go back to school (I didn't like academia much)... but I was a good notetaker, and so I can't throw away all that old stuff, just in case...

I was itching to edit mine. I decided to keep them, but I'm not going to edit them.
Posted by Space Opera (Member # 6504) on :
That's right, plaid, just rub it in.
The good thing is that I took copious notes in my textbook margins, so that should help a bit. *looks over at pile of 10 textbooks* This bites.

I don't think I saved a single thing from my time at college, with the exception of some poetry and one or two books from a lit class that I unexpectedly enjoyed.
