I think that the whole thing is going to continuously annoy me next season.

I've started just shaking my head every time I see the promos because I hate when TV shows screw up medicine.

(However, I do not turn the channel when the promos come on like my mother told me to do if they annoy me so much, because crying!Cuddy is the prettiest and saddest thing ever all at the same time.)

Do you have MSN or some other IM we could talk on?

I actually don't. I did at one point have Trillian, but something screwed up and now it crashes my computer every time I try to load it. And I don't usually talk to anyone anyway, so I never bothered to try and figure out why.

I'd go on to get my Ph.D in anthropology

Hee, lots and lots of schooling like me. Do you ever get the feeling that you're going to be in school (and/or paying off school loans) for all of your life?

I'd want to go into law and become a district attorney.

Eee, another thing I've thought about. And foreign embassy work sounds really cool too; I think foreign policy and negotiations and diplomacy and stuff are some of the coolest things about politics.

Ah, ok, well, never mind then! I've got MSN if you ever do decide to get it. *shrug* The name is: magickalmoon135@hotmail.com just for the info. :)

God, yes! I feel like I'm going to be an old hag once I get out of there! Of course, I don't care too much because it'll just be the best experience ever. I can take all kinds of obscure and crazy classes. My friends actually make fun of me, telling me I'll be so overqualified with everything I want to take. I'm excited. School like this makes me happy. It's my parents that did it, my dad's an oceanography professor and my mom's a chemist. School is very important in my house and I have picked up. :)

Me too!! I'm also incredibly interested in human rights.

Exactly. Because even though I'm going for a medical degree, I'd also like to know about stuff like polysci and history and literature and things.

My friends actually make fun of me, telling me I'll be so overqualified with everything I want to take.

Yup. A couple of years ago, I went through a college course selection book and went "okay, I want to take that class, and this class. . ." and highlighted it all up, and my mom looks over my shoulder and goes "And how do you expect to pay for the 20 years worth of classes you've got circled?"

School is very important in my house and I have picked up.

Same here: both parents are teachers. (Which makes summers cool, but you're always roped into grading papers.)

I'm also incredibly interested in human rights.

Okay, now this is just funny. I'm copresident of our Amnesty International and in the leading council of our Liberal Union thing. So very much with the me too.

I know! I'm going to look at astronomy and things like that because I think it's important to know a little about everything. I don't want to focus solely on one thing just because I think it's important to be well rounded and open-minded.

Yup. A couple of years ago, I went through a college course selection book and went "okay, I want to take that class, and this class. . ." and highlighted it all up

LOL! I did something SO similar!! I printed out a paper with all of the classes offered to freshmen and sophmores at my school and put Xs next to all the classes I wanted to take. After I did that, I realized I'd have to be a lowerclassman for four years and do summer classes to take all the subjects I want!

Which makes summers cool, but you're always roped into grading papers.

Oh, my friend has to do a VERY similar thing! It's actually fun to watch them grade because you see what the teachers really think about their students. *snickers* I'm so bad!

Woot!! Go you! What is the Liberal Union thing exactly? I can guess what it is by the name but the only Liberal Union I can think of is the Dutch LU from the 1800's.

In high school I was part of 'Young Democrats' and 'Open Alliance Club'.

[crashcart9.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Dinner conversations would suck if all I could talk about was medicine or whatever.

Oh yes. Everyone who thinks that teachers don't talk about their students when they get home is crazy wrong. I know the names of 3 of my father's students already and his school only started yesterday.

In high school I was part of 'Young Democrats'

That's basically what our liberal union is. We just call it that so as not to be all obviously partisan and such. We were really active in 2004 with the elections, now it's more social awareness programs and stuff.

What's the Open Alliance Club?

[allybally123.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Dinner conversations would suck if all I could talk about was medicine or whatever.

Oh yes. If all I knew was politics, or whatever it is I decide to go into, what would we say if I knew about nothing else. I'd better hope I married (if it's legal then)to someone who's into the same profession as me otherwise it would be pretty boring. Even then it would get old fast. You need other interests in your life, passions even.

I know the names of 3 of my father's students already and his school only started yesterday.

Oh, man! They must either be evil or amazing!! What grade does your dad teach? I've got a younger sister who is now a sophmore in high school. She started school Monday and is already complaining about her, 'nasty teachers'.

We were really active in 2004 with the elections, now it's more social awareness programs and stuff.

Ahh, cool! That sounds great! They have a politcal awarness club at the University my dad works at and even though he doesn't have time to be involved all year round, he gets involved during elections. He and other members in the club go to the houses of registered democrats who are elderly and poor so as to encourage them to go to the polls. They drive them and help them get information about the elections and candidates that they may not get because of whatever reason.

Open Alliance Club

It was pretty much the same as Gay Straight Alliance but our school refused to allow us to have one. I live in Florida and the school was just WAY too conservative to allow us to have something like that! *rolls eyes* We had to come up with something that wasn't too obvious.

[crashcart9.livejournal.com]

They must either be evil or amazing!

The first one. XD My dad used to teach 7th grade history, but this year was switched (I say 'was' because he didn't exactly have a choice in the matter; he had his gifted teaching certification, so they said go teach) to middle school gifted and 7th grade literature. My mom does gifted too, elementary school.

They drive them and help them get information about the elections and candidates that they may not get because of whatever reason.

That's really cool. I'll have to find out if anyone around me does that, and maybe see if our people want to.

Ahh, my school is much the same way. (Missouri's such a frakking red state.) Our liberal union and Amnesty are tiny, and the GSA both had to be called something else and never really got off the ground.

[allybally123.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that sucks. I know that because of the shortage of teachers it's a lot harder for teachers to get the grades they want.

What did those kids do!?

I'll have to find out if anyone around me does that, and maybe see if our people want to.

I think it's a great idea too! Next election is the gubernatorial election. Unlucky me is ruled by both Bush's. *angry sigh* At least one of them will be gone soon...just not the one I'd like to be gone.

Sorry...I didn't mean to go off a little on you.

Our liberal union and Amnesty are tiny, and the GSA both had to be called something else and never really got off the ground.

That's too bad. The Open Alliance didn't really have a lot of members either. Most of them were straight and just wanted to offer support so it kind of just became a group of friends that would meet.

[crashcart9.livejournal.com]

What did those kids do!?

Ahh, the requisite couple that show up on the first day with nothing, think they're unbelievably funny and like to share their 'gift' in the middle of class, or decide not to show up to class and get caught.

Sorry...I didn't mean to go off a little on you.

Ehh, it's totally okay. One of my friends especially is very politically minded and tends to rant on the latest thing [insert politician's name here] did or didn't do. And I do it all the time too.
Grr for having two Bushes. Think the other one has a chance of being beaten this race?

Most of them were straight and just wanted to offer support

That's what virtually all of the people who showed up to the couple meetings we had were. And the student in charge really only wanted it to be a group of friends, and had no plans for meetings or whatever, so it wasn't a horrible thing that it died. The liberal union pretty much does the kind of things that it would do regarding awareness and tolerance and stuff, so it's not a total loss.

Nothing as in no supplies? 'Cause I'm thinking of the idiot in my high school who decided to show up in boxers and an undershirt one day. He would have come naked and later brought in a 'strip tease' video to show us as 'art'. Man, that boy was stupid but he sure as hell was amusing.

Grr for having two Bushes. Think the other one has a chance of being beaten this race?

He can't run again. Like his brother, this is his last term...THANK WHATEVER HIGH POWERS MIGHT EXIST! Hopefully the republican nitwit won't win. I'm bugging all of my friends to go vote.

And the student in charge really only wanted it to be a group of friends, and had no plans for meetings or whatever, so it wasn't a horrible thing that it died.

Yeah, it might have been for the best if nothing had been planned. Our meetings were nice. There were only about 12 of us and so we'd go to the park and things, or out for coffee. It was a lot of fun to be together. Of course, it sucked when we told people in our community what we were a part of. *shudders*

[crashcart9.livejournal.com]

Nothing as in no supplies?

Yeah. I don't think middle schoolers are confident enough to show up in boxers.

He can't run again. Like his brother, this is his last term.

Whoohoo!

Hopefully the republican nitwit won't win. I'm bugging all of my friends to go vote.

Definitely. A couple of our senators have some pretty promising democratic opposition too, so this could turn out well.

That does sound nice. The GSA that was at my school my freshmanish year (before it died and it's replacement died too) was pretty much like that.

Of course, it sucked when we told people in our community what we were a part of.

Urgh. I can imagine.

[allybally123.livejournal.com]

*snickers* No, they're probably not. I used to go to school in PJs...but that was high school.

Well, I hope it works well!! I'm so hopeful that the democrats will win. We need to get rid of the Stupid FCAT that Jeb Bush established. It's so crazy. He's SUCH an idiot...though not quite as stupid as his brother.

I would go out to vote too, but I can't. My 18th birthday isn't until the end of November...unfortunately. Oh well, I can vote in the next presidential election...in over 800 days. *sigh*

[crashcart9.livejournal.com]

though not quite as stupid as his brother.

The sad thing is that that isn't saying much.

My 18th birthday isn't until the end of November

Ahh, that sucks. I'm the end of July, so the next presidential one will be the first big one I can do also.

in over 800 days. *sigh*

I was just looking at that number today. It's scary thinking of how much more we can get screwed up in that long.

And with that, I'm off to bed, as I've got class starting Tuesday and really need to learn to get up early again.

[allybally123.livejournal.com]

No *sighs* It isn't.

Ahh, that sucks. I'm the end of July, so the next presidential one will be the first big one I can do also.

Ha! I thought you were older than 18! You certainly sound like it. :P

Well, night, night, then! I'll talk to you some other time. :)
