-I am American and I think cardigan is the same thing you think it is. -I've also heard jerry can but they'd be more likely to just call it a gas can I think. -Well, you would do a Bachelor's first. Then you would do a Master's should you decide to continue on... not sure if you knew that and if it's different for you. If this is Sam, he was after a JD (juris doctorate) degree, or a law degree, but he would have earned his Bachelor's first.
thank you - i'm taking it that Sam has already done his three/four years of undergrad and is now progressing on to his Master's. actually this is exactly the same arrangement that we have here in australia, so it doesn't feel so odd, i'm just a pedant for research!
If you were broke? Bus. That would take you around 3 days. Plane? There are three big airports near Palo Alto. It's in between San Francisco and San Jose airports, but close enough to Oakland airport, which can some times have cheaper flights (can you tell I live in the SF bay area?). You'd fly into the Kansas City International airport (located in the neighboring state of Missouri) and then make your way to Lawerence. In the end, yes the bus would be cheaper.
Yep, a cardigan is a button-front sweater. Kansas is in the mid-west. Spring? probably April to May. It would be spelled Richie. All universities give bachelor's degrees, some universities have what they call Master's Programs. Stanford is one of them. Gotta have the bachelors degree and be accepted into the master's program. Getting a law degree is a different process all together. So far as I know, Gin Rummy can not be played as solitaire. Yup, gas can here for petrol.
1) It would be cheaper to travel Greyhound (that would be a bus company if you're not familiar with it), but quicker if you flew.
2) Yes, a cardigan is exactly what you think it is.
3) As far as I know a street address was never given for the house in Lawrence.
4) Bobby's last name is Singer. He was named after Robert Singer a producer on the show.
5) I'm not familiar with Lawrence, but more than likely they lived in a working middle class suburb. You could try this link which pretty much gives you all you need to know about Lawrence, Kansas: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence,_Kansas
6) I would say Richie which would be short for Richard
7) Bachelor's and then your Master's degree
8) I've known people who play gin rummy by themselves, though I couldn't tell you if it's legit. Solitare would be a more likely card game for a single person to play.
1. If you were broke, you would hitchhike. If you're only mostly broke, you'd take the bus. Greyhound is the only interstate bus system, so you can say 'take the bus' or 'take Greyhound' and have the same meaning.
2. Cardigan is an older term, as 'button-up sweater' is more common nowdays. At least around here.
5. Technically, Kansas is central plains, not mid-west. A nit-pick, I know. ;-) But I grew up in the central plains!
8. One note: at American universities you don't "do" your degree. You "earn" your degree. I earned my Master's, or I got my Master's. Also, "university" takes an article, whereas "college" doesn't. I go to college, I go to a university. I only say this because I know lots of folks don't realise there is this difference. ;-)
cheers - this is useful stuff. actually, in australia you can 'go to uni'and 'do' your degree, although those turns of phrase are more common colloquially. we don't have a college system here (unless it's a tech college, called TAFE - Technical And Further Education) so maybe it alters the usage a little.

All universities give bachelor's degrees, some universities have what they call Master's Programs. Stanford is one of them. Gotta have the bachelors degree and be accepted into the master's program. Getting a law degree is a different process all together.

Okay, got all the ones I know.

Hope this helps! :-)
