    I graduated with 174 credits. :lol: I went through a phase where I was actually just taking courses out of curiosity and interest. Took me 6 years of full time school to graduate with only a major and extended minor. :fp:

    I'm shooting for 4. may take 4 and a half, but I hope not.

    Take a whole year. Hell, take two. There probably still won't be a job waiting for you.

    I can't eat any chicken with bones in it. Has to be taken off the bones before it is put on my plate (usually my husband's job). I won't sit by anyone eating chicken wings either. They pile those chicken bones on their side plate... ewwww freaky gross

    Come on now... the marrow is the best part

    Actually, the openings for statisticians are on the rise.

    I still laugh sometimes. I'm not sure how much it is to house a person in jail but I think they lost money on me for only getting the $376! On the bright side while I was doing my hard time I read both of Iacocca's books. He was a interesting man. The jail library wasn't well stocked.

    I have seen the ticket.... $525. :lol::lol::lol:

    how many books did you have checked out. pretty my home towns fine stopped when it reached the replacement cost
    81 is now off the air

    Do it. The hour leading up to actually leaving the plane was stressful and terrifying... you get all worked up and nervous and start thinking about broken straps and chutes that don't open properly. And during the plane ride up I was close to shitting my pants in horrified anticipation... and the part where you stick your feet out the door and look down is bad, and the very second when you leave the plane and lose where up and down is for a second is like sheer terror... but once you've straightened out and are just free falling it gets good. Tie your shoes up well - it feels like they're going to come off when free falling and that's distracting. It doesn't feel like you're falling at all - just like you're suspended in a wind tunnel. Then another brief moment of terror when the chute starts to open and you're not sure that it's worked yet. And then, pure joy that you're alive and floating far above the Earth - complete silence (you might want to tell your partner to keep quite for this part of the ride before you jump - mine tried to act as tourist guide, and I just wanted to take it all in in silence. I did not care that the town of Chilliwack was to the East of us :fp: ). And the landing is nice and light (basically). It was amazing (not sure I would do it again though - once may have been enough). Also, if you go drinking after, it's the best drunk you'll ever have! :lol:
