[Phillip Allen]

the campus calls...

see ya later

[Domesticated_Mr. Know It All]

Be careful.

[seanz]

Leave your horse at home, Phillip. I think all they offer is water polo.

[John of Phoenix]

Be careful, there's a lot of reality out there. (And we all know how you and reality mix.)

[Phillip Allen]

they already like me in the journalism dept

[John of Phoenix]

I'm sure they do... but doesn't everyone like the class clown?

[Phillip Allen]

maybe... we'll see

[TomF]

Good onya, Phillip. It's going to be a great thing to get out, exercise the grey matter, poke yourself with a few new ideas and remembered skills. Gotta say though, the girls in the picture above ... probably have other things in mind than you.

[Mrleft8]

I thought you said the grampas were calling you......

I don't reckon they're interested in fat old men...

MY LEGGS ARE GONNA BE SORE TOMORROW! (my feet hurt right now)

[John of Phoenix]

Sore from doing what? Sitting in a classroom isn't all that strenuous as I remember it.

[tigerregis]

Good Luck. You better report 4.0 on your grades.

[Domesticated_Mr. Know It All]

It's getting there John.
The parking lot is probably miles from the class.

Helping the hot co-ed's with their homework is your best way in Phil.
Well, that and getting them drunk.

[John of Phoenix]

I seem to recall there was a thread about him killing himself with lack of exercise but it never came to anything. This should be a good thing.

[Domesticated_Mr. Know It All]

Have you seen how many post's he has?
Anything that gets him away from here is probably good for him

[John of Phoenix]

Let's see how long it lasts.

[Phillip Allen]

it was uphill to the U and then the other side of a huge campus. Late registration so a lot of false starts and trips to talk to the proffs to get permission to take a class then back to admin. NOw, back to the building where I talked earlier to the proffs to the first class then to the union to get a bit of lunch then back across campus again to the next class then down hill back to the parking lot... oddly enough, down hill hurt more for a bit.

this is meant to get me out of the house, a little bit of exercise and refresh my math and get back into the rhythm of campus...

And us!

Seriously though, how can you argue about getting some higher education.

I gather you've forgotten how he's mocked college degrees for the past several years.

[S/V Laura Ellen]

I gather you've forgotten how he's mocked college degrees for the past several years.

But at least he won't be able to say "but I'm only an uneducated mason" if he gets some higher education.

[Phillip Allen]

I haven't changed my thinking... far too much importance is given to such things and has created a huge education industry that is self-aggrandizing, self- promoting... and self-indulgent (and a bunch of other selfs)

Education is wonderful but the education industry is not the only source of knowledge and never has been

[Phillip Allen]

But at least he won't be able to say "but I'm only an uneducated mason" if he gets some higher education.

I"m actually a junior at this point

[John of Phoenix]

If he gets a bachelor's degree, I'll send him my favorite Tilley as a graduation present.

[Phillip Allen]

non-degree seeking at the moment...

a degree would do me absolutely no good... I'm there for learning and getting out a bit... not credentials

[Phillip Allen]

I meant to say that my journalism proff is a Sicilian from the Bronx... should be interesting

[John of Phoenix]

Now THAT is a leading headline! ROTFLMAO

[Phillip Allen]

Now THAT is a leading headline! ROTFLMAO

but non political... I expect if I flunk, the first I will know of it will be a washtub and a sack of cement by my desk
I see no reason not to have a little fun when the chance presents and I don't mind being laughed at if it's fun
