I don't think the US offers more than one English course a year.
So I'm not much help.

On an entirely unrelated note, I'm kind of impressed with Mae's cover of March of the Pigs.
I mean, of course Nine Inch Nails did it better, but considering Mae's usual sound and the amount of effort they put into making this particular cover not lame...

we have other english courses here...they aren't mandatory though.

Phil, you know you need special CD's that can BE lightscribed right?

They cost quite a bit more than normal CD/DVD-R's.

Can't you just get a pack of markers meant for writing on CD's and use those?

Yeah this course isn't mandatory. I was just taking it because my parents said I needed to take at least 2 more courses this semester so I picked the ones that might be the least boring to me, but they ended up being the ones that required the most work :upset:. I also chose it because I'm contemplating making English my teachable minor when I go to university.

how many times have you used lightscribe on your dvd writer?

and plus, is the ddrum snare a decent snare for the dollar in a heavy music environment?

It's so warm out...Holy crap. It was 40 this morning and I was like, "lolsweet!" and now it's 60 and I drove home with the windows open.

And blasting Bjork's [I]Earth Intruders[/I] over and over again.

English is a good major for the most part, but don't take it if you don't like difficult reading. We're reading Paradise Lost in an English class I'm taking, haha.

I like reading. I don't mind the novel study/essays part of this course. What I hate about it is all the oral presentations we have to do. I have to do 4 on my own this semester, and one of them has to be 30 minutes long. Then I have to do 4 more presentations, but in a group so its not quite as bad I guess. I really hate oral presentations though :(

Panopticon 03-03-2008 01:35 PM

hmm...i never would have guessed.

Thats not what jay tells us.

stfu gice

I guess I should know better than to say the word "oral" on this forum.

Seafroggys 03-03-2008 01:40 PM

I just had an oral presentation in Macro-Economics about Fiscal vs. Monetary Policy.

I like giving presentations.

Drum Phil 03-03-2008 01:40 PM

Oral. Lulz.

I don't liked them either, they seem quite unnecessary. You won't do very many of those in college though, mostly only in your intro classes.

the_pure_drummer 03-03-2008 01:47 PM

Watching 300 :)

bobby__johnny 03-03-2008 01:50 PM

there wasnt enough action in that movie :p

muhahaha.

NP: Nerfhearder - Welcome To My World

This song kicks so much ***.
Any song involving "taking a leak in the kitchen sink" basically wins.

Ignore the video though, its not official and the timing's kind of off.

Drum Phil 03-03-2008 02:58 PM

Ah, nerfherder. How i miss your xmas carols.

Sunshine 03-03-2008 03:02 PM

They make me so happy.

speech class scared the bajesus outta me.

Win A Rabbit 03-03-2008 03:34 PM

I kind of want to join the writer's group in town.

My writing now sucks, but joining would keep me motivated to actually write something on a weekly basis and to actually put time in to improve.

Kainen 03-03-2008 03:36 PM

I'm no good at writing, I had an interest long ago when I was younger, but no longer.

Now photography - I'd love to take some classes.

TTTSNB 03-03-2008 03:37 PM

Haha yeah man. I was so nervous when I had to do debates, especially. Presentations still freak me ouit.

Win A Rabbit 03-03-2008 03:38 PM

Last night I actually took time to try figuring out how to work my camera.

My parents bought a decent digital camera, but all I ever did with it was point>autofocus>click.


No manual or anything, so it's like "hmm what does this do? oh that's what that does. what does this do?"
