You'd be amazed at how little you need to do to get good grades in the non-essential grad school courses. Did you show up? A. The grading scale here at UCSD is as follows: A, B, Fail. A friend of mine got a pair of B-'s last quarter and was put on warning. Getting a B- in any number of classes at Mudd would have felt like a blessing, heh...
And don't get me started on the grade inflation rampant at schools like Harvard and the like. John Gregg swears up and down he and his pals put forth no effort for 4 solid years and nearly got 4.0's anyway.
Oh, and how dare you defile a Guinness? There are so few perfect beers in the world; it's a shame to ruin theirs :-P
I celebrated St. Patrick's Day by drinking far too much vodka. Not the traditional Irish drink, but it still got the job done rather expediently.
Say hi to Christina for me when you spend the night there.
I did my senior paper (my 15?-page paper that was required to pass AP English 12) in one night, 9pm-5am the eve of its due date. I got a perfect score. To date it is one of the achievements I'm most proud of.
About the heightened awareness idea - I think it's a good one to 'scientifically' explain most people's experience with things that can't be explained by our current scientific understanding, but I think there are some situations that can't be explained by it. For instance, what about miraculous healings? Are you claiming that a heightened awareness of the world can result in the healing of terminal illness? I personally know someone who was healed from Lyme's disease when a Catholic priest prayed over her...with medical documentation/family members to back her up...how would you go about explaining this? Or would you

I definiatly could have told you about the irish car bombs.....they are the worst, but they get you very drunk very fast....not that I know about that.

My friend was telling me over lunch, just a few hours before I read this, what a Car Bomb was.
