[QUOTE=Atomicant;14437346]MORNING!!

Scar non?[/QUOTE]

I don't know what that ^, dole, or tafe means.

TAFE- Technical and Further Education. Tertiary instituition for learning (like a college kinda thing)

Dole- welfare (for bums, single parents etc)

scar non?- whats going on? (with a lebanese/australian accent)

I hate my life. My computer is fine, I come home from a week in D.C. and find this:

"Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There might not be a sound device installed on your computer, it might be in use by another program, or it might not be functioning properly."

Now I have to figure out what the hell is going on. Stupid family...

Man, I feel your pain. My sound card (and at this point cards) have been giving me hell lately.

I need a new cable, i hate having to use headphones

im getting my name changed hopefully

youve only been here a month, why didnt you jsut start with the name you wanted?

Yeah, mods usually won't do a name change unless you are a veteran with a lot of posts.

did you win a comp Akira?

No, Justin's just cool. :lol:

I didn't even ask. What happened was I asked if I would get banned if I said I like Good Charlotte, and instead of banning me he gave me a huge GC avatar. He decided that was mean and gave me my regular avatar back big instead.

requested name:radagastthebrown

So just got back from the Helmet concert. Front row. Think i broke my neck.

mxtabs.net is coming back. :eek:

Anyone have a couple hundred grand they want to give me?

For?

:amaze:

To go to Berklee for college. Unless I get into jewel heists and narcotics trafficking right now, I will never be able to go.

Prostitutes, drugs and liquor.

What else?

Edit: damn late.

Does the term "student loan" mean anything to you?

I don't know if USA has them.

[QUOTE=Polyamarous;14437854]Does the term "student loan" mean anything to you?

Yeah, of course we do. But Berklee is like $40,000+ a year, for a career in music. I cannot justify spending $40,000 a year for college, unless I decide to be a doctor or lawyer or something.

Hmm.. True.

Here the music education programme is like 2000 a year or something :amaze: Why the HELL is Berklee so expensive? And I bet there are other music schools..

There must surely be other music courses you can do at other colleges?

[QUOTE=Polyamarous;14437885]There must surely be other music courses you can do at other colleges?[/QUOTE]

Sure there are. Berklee would just be sweet.

Whether I end up doing music or something totally different, I will probably end up at the local in-state school. My dad works there, so I get half off tuition.

wikipedia says Degree program tuition is approximately $23,450 for the fall through spring academic year (as of 2006).

Yeah I also want to study in England, but hell that's never going to happen :lol:

I wouldn't bother, we have the 2nd to worst education system in Europe and the people are terrible.

Plus the netherlands is one of the best places to live in Europe, along with switzerland and stuff.

[QUOTE=Polyamarous;14437897]wikipedia says Degree program tuition is approximately $23,450 for the fall through spring academic year (as of 2006).[/QUOTE]

Hmm, the Berklee site gives numbers way higher. I think that that number is just tuition, things like housing really add up.

Ah I didnt take into account living etc, that would sound about right then.

But to study there a year would be cool. And it was more like a 'for example' thing. The Netherlands are OK, but not superb.

By the way.. some french girl took some mushrooms and killed herself when she was with her class here. So now they want to make mushrooms illegal.. And we're talking about shrooms that aren't altered by human hand. The last ones were already illegal ;)

Either way, tuition is ridiculous. Even at state schools.

Someone needs to kill themselves while paying taxes.

It's the same here too, for university it's £12000 odd ($24000 ish) no chance on living with a loan lower than £20000.

Kili, how many more drugs are legal there?!
Someone from my college overdosed on pills not 2 weeks ago, puts things into perspective!

Err. So normal tasty mushrooms that you find in omeletts?

[QUOTE=Jimbobntnr;14437973]Someone needs to kill themselves while paying taxes.[/QUOTE]

Haha, amen to that.


I am actually somewhat lucky. The IU school of music is rated as one of the top in the country. Unfortunately, its best departments are not ones that I would be interested in.

[QUOTE=Jimbobntnr;14437973]Someone needs to kill themselves while paying taxes.[/QUOTE]
Yup.

Fun fact though: the mother from a good friend of mine is in the government on the second highest position. She isn't a minister, but what we call: government secretary. So basically, she is in charge of almost all the money in her department. She happens to be on 'education'. My future job. And they are raising the salary! After waaay too many years of doing nothing -_-'

But she's also doing it pretty good with other side factors :p
