++ this is the EDUCATION i am paying gobs of money to in order to learn.

yesterday i went to ecoop to listen to stedman lecture, i swear he just talks to hear himself talk. things i got out of listening to him speak: " during the clinton era, there was two things the media focused on: 1. oj simpson. 2. the president who couldn't keep his zipper zipped." ... "(these offices know) they are truly shitty factories." ... "(we have a) romantic notion of where we want to be (with our lives in the future)." ... "you've been here for fice years with the same cohort of people."
in chinese class the other day the professor commented, "when i was driving to the airport in the ice and snow, the cars were playing pancake! flop! flop! flop! I just drive on thinking, ok."

on another note i noticed that c-ritic k-iss up smirks whenever he says an answer. my impression is he believes he is absolutely right no questions asked and the smarted person in the world. but he's a good guy. just cocky.

a-lways r-ight has the same problem. well he believes he is always right, but if you ask him he will deny it. ask his girlfriend. the real one. but he is also a good guy. just doesn't like to listen to others. he is definately not one to follow. he will take the lead and expect others to follow and if not then he will do it on his own.

ah the 'cohort' of people i know... ++
