And a small portion of the decline of university intellect is partially due to the fact that morons like Bill Ayers are on the school boards. (so many other things contribute, of course)

The people that decided to put that unrepentant Communist terrorist on the university board should be fired. Then put into a mental institution.

Yeah, on 9/11 … ON 9 FREAKING 11, he was quoted, “I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough.”
Asked whether he would advocate bombing again, he answered: “I don’t want to discount the possibility.” Or as he writes in his memoir: “I can’t imagine entirely dismissing the possibility.”

Bill Ayers: 1995 Campaign FUNDRAISER for Barack Obama.
They go way back.

Boo-ya! Linguistics all the way – no math.

Oh, and my laundry is free. All I have to do is buy the detergent.

That’s just because you go to North Texas. The most overly priced/overly hyped/overly everything school in Texas. My advice: change schools, especially if you’re a music major.

I’m glad that my college has washers that don’t require cards or change. It’s completely covered in our room/board fees. The only problem with that is that they’re almost constantly full of the theater guy’s cloths, and we only have one washer and one dryer for 36 guys to use.

This is extremely inaccurate. The mind of a college student is “MONEY!!! Lemme have it all! Please, I’m so poor…”

No college student in their right mind would pass over any money. We’ll roll it and take it to the bank if we have to, but money is money!
I know from personal experience =(

We actually just got new machines in the dorms the year before is started at my college which is conveniently also the year that they instituted the free laundry policy.

Eh, I average 42wpm when I am dickering around at work. When I am chatting, I ramp up to about 90 or more cuz I am just typing instead of trying to filter stupid into words while trying to type notes for the corporation’s requirements.

As a college student who lives at home (my college doesn’t have dorms)
This is inaccurate. Quarters are for the vending machines!

Jane, not sure where you are, but keep your head up! I don’t know if it is just this place or what, but we hire new teachers every friggin year. I think part of it is because we are near a military base and so we always have some people leaving. Keep in mind though that this base contributes at least 30% of the total population. DON’T GIVE UP!

Please bottle some of that and send it to me…I suck royally at calculus and would love some of that enthusiasm and skill.

Keep trying, Jane. Now that we have a decent president, perhaps education will get the attention it deserves. Where are you, geographically? I know the DC schools desperately need good teachers.

It’s possible they’re here for the lulz, in which case they’re just trying to make us rage. The best answer is silence.

Yup. I’m 34. There’s a laundry room in my apartment building, you have to have a key to get in, and they still charge.

I did an admin job in the Army and when I was in training for it, one of the graduation requirements was typing 20wpm. I did like three times that anyway because I’d taken typing in high school. There was this one guy who could not learn to save his life–he’d always hunt-and-pecked. But when H&Ping he could do 20wpm. Unfortunately the requirement was for touch-typing. He barely made it.

CoinStar’s a ripoff. Find a bank that has a machine like CoinStar but doesn’t charge bank customers to use it, and then get an account there.

My credit union’s got one. It’s pretty sweet. No more rolling coins. w00t.

What you do is you make straight As and then search like mad for scholarships to apply for. If you’re lucky you’ll only have to pay for the first few terms and then smooth sailing from there.

Stop waving your WPM around!! I’m computer savvy but I don’t measure up to that impressive score…

I can’t do 135 wpm, but I can get around 90-100 depending on what I’m typing. And you’re right, it’s met with looks of shock and awe as I do it without looking. My poor boss (who has a good excuse, his fingers are fat) can only type with two fingers. He gets about 30 wpm, and it drives me nuts! I usually push him out of the way and finish what he’s typing for him.

I find it amusing that at work my co-workers who arent in the office, oogle
how I type without looking at the keyboard, and fill in entire order numbers and comments without looking at what Im typing. It amazing how averaging 135 words
a minute constitutes as damn near magic to the technologically handicapped.

The idea of taking viagra scares me. The notion that I no longer control
the status of the one part of my body that easily gotten me into the most
trouble in all of my life… is just creepy. Its already been presumed
that its a second brain.. I dont need it performing on its own to support
that thought!

I learned how to count back change quick at the grocery store I worked at. Especially after the time the power went out for 24 hours and we had to log everything in manually. *shudder* And I’m still damn fast on a 10 key from having to type in so many checks

Are you kidding? Calculus is the best!
Anything that can find the slope of a point (including Chuck Norris) is freakin’ sweet. Calc was my best class last year (iz a senior). All you need are two real equations that are both easily adaptable. Advanced math becomes

Sometimes I do have to tell them the correct change, like if they put in 6.00 instead of 6.06 I wish they’d teach how to count back change in school. *sigh* I learned at a young age running a till with no register at a family business.
