No prob.
VintagePunk said:They've been playing a TON of U2 on radio around here lately...to the point where, when flipping through the stations on programmed in my car, it's kind of unusual to go through more than 3 or 4 times and NOT hear U2.
But the thing is...
whenever I hear a U2 song on the radio, I get all happy, like it's a special gift, and they're playing it just for me. Like I'm the only fan in the world.

DG..love the avatar I've said before, he looks like my BF in that pic...same look on his face
VintagePunk said:They force math/stats/research methods on us. I've had stats up the wazoo for the past several years.
Speaking of which, my less than glowing marks in the area might add on another 20 years for me to find a school that will actually be willing to accept me.
I've heard though, that many US schools aren't as stats-centric as Canadian ones.

Your boyfriend looks like Bono?
A young Bono and a young Ali couple!

I dunno, stats have become the rage in my field at least, which sucks ass (that's the official academic term for it, of course). I'm terrible at it. Unfortunately, however, except for the purely qualitative stuff like theory or literature, most universities want applicants who come with their own data set or have already published or something.
That's why I'll be unemployed as soon as my assistantship, teeny as it is, runs out.

Elessarian said:My favorite thing now is a quote stolen from a teen movie....people come to my apt. and they see all the U2 on the wall and rhetorically ask, "So, I see you're a fan..."
My response now is "I'm not a fan. We're involved."

daygloeyes2 said:I don't know what stats are but they have something to do with math and that's just scary!
*curls up in corner in the fetal position*
VintagePunk said:
Exactly!! I mean, it's not like I couldn't pop the disc in in the car, or drive home and listen to it...there's just something soooo cool about the radio.
VintagePunk said:
Math, formulae, and a ton of really awful, boring, complex theory.
