TC, I always find it a sobering thought to consider that half of all doctors finished in the lower half of their class. It also isnot comforting that most of those become internists! Sometimes I ask my doctor where he finished! |

I am on track to finish on the lower half of my class so you can expect flea market discounts from me. But I'm aiming for various board certifications, a high score on the licensing exams, etc. And hopefully I will not become an internist. |

I seem to be suffering from this all of the sudden. I heard American Pie in the lunchroom last week and nearly cried. As I keep thinking back to last summer, I keep realizing how much I missed out on, as I was not very involved and only knew the traditions thanks to the help of my entire hall, all of whom were nomores, :sad: . I plan on going back for my nomore year for both sessions, to get the most out of my last year. Come to think of it, I never got the Ultimate Contact List of Doom. Does it usually take this long? I can't wait for the next session, to the point that it overshadows all the holidays together. Everytime I think of my time there, I think that it was the only place I ever really enjoyed myself doing the nerdy stuff I always wanted to do publicly. I intend to speak at the next Passionfruit. I wish I could've gotten involved with one of the traditions or made my mark somehow. I wish I did more than merely existing, observing, but next year I will go wild. No reservations. Now I can only hope I can keep hold of my sanity for that long. |

I was in charge of the first session Contact List of DOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!!! and had it out within two or three weeks. Also, do you have facebook and such? That's primarily how I keep in contact with CTYers. |

I am now entering Crisis Mode. The deadline was 4 days ago to choose my course. I'm now in the late entry category. I want to return to Lancaster. I need help deciding which class to take. This being my nomore year, I want to go to both sessions if possible, so I can pick 2 classes. Opinions?

Go with the Greek, the Latin, or the Classical Philology (what the "Etymologies" course should have been titled). edit: With two sessions, I would intro the Greek and the Latin. Do you take any foreign language in regular school? Edited by Rhadamanthus, Jan 19 2010, 10:54 PM.

Greek and Latin will be the most useful and interesting, if you ask me! |

I'm apparently not eligible for Cryptology. I signed up for Latin and Etymologies, with Philosophy of Mind and Greek as back ups in that order. |

Philosophy of Mind was the least favorite class I took. Also, Telo, the last time I spoke to second sessioners, none of them knew who you might be. But anyway, if you have the same stalkerish compulsion that I do, here's a hint: I have a quote in the course catalog. |

This is my default approach, and it works well. Also, for you high schoolers out there, college is tough. You will have to study. I skated through high school, 4.0, 35 ACT. I'm busting my butt and pulling a 3.4 at university. Then again, I'm in engineering. Go into psychology, communications, or political science and you'll be fine. |

I started out as an engineering major and my GPA was ~2.5. Fortunately I switched to biology, the softest of the sciences, and dragged my 4-year GPA up to a 3.3. Listen to Abnar though. You gotta study in college.

No, I just clicked the non-faded envelope, and didn't read the dates on posts. What I'm saying was relevant some months ago, I swear! |

I am not the most sociable person. I was a flying squirrel/squirrel. I never went to a regular CTY, as the Baltimore class didn't count and it was in Baltimore, not Lancaster. I didn't know any traditions and spent my spare time either reading, relaxing, or playing cards/board games with my hall. I took me 2 weeks to realize that fun stuff was actually happening elsewhere and I was missing it. I was to wrapped up with the normal social fears that I have at home. CTY is different and I can actually act myself there. I plan on going all out this year, no reservations. If I get the nerve, I'll speak at the Passionfruit. Most of the people that knew me nomored out last year. |

I thought you were Alcovian, that's why I figured the people whom I was asking would know who you were. |

Alcovian in the fact that I sat in the Alcove and hung out with most of the members most of the time. That'd be the reason I know any of the traditions to begin with. Yes, I know, I fail at being a CTYer. |

Well, part of the reason that none of these people (who were Alcovians) could identify you was probably because all I really know about you physically is that you wear a hearing aid and are from Jersey and I think small. |

Yes! I finally found the song the A Capella group performed at the Talent Show. By the time the song ended, I don't think there was a single CTYer who hadn't cried a bit. I think it may be my favorite song. You know, aside from American Pie. |

Yeah, that is a good song. If you like that one, you will love this one I posted in the youtube thread: http://s3.zetaboards.com/nationstates/single/?p=8081993&t=227298 |
