    Hey, I don't think I can deal with Kee being gone for an entire week. Do you have some kind of method of contact for him outside of ZU?

    The differences in the test scores of the student body are pretty significant. I don't know how the SAT is scored (it's more of coast thing as the data also clearly show), but 4 or 5 points on the ACT is huge. And like you said, those data show basic information, but little about how the schools rank. Of course, that will largely be determined by your source.

    Looks pretty close to similar. UW-M has a slightly lower acceptance rate and requires display of skills, and recommendations. That's about it. Although that doesn't say much from a ranking standpoint.

    Ehehe. You really are an interesting and hard-to-read person. I just read your thread about miserable nights and can honestly say I've never heard of anything like that. Usually when I get sick I sleep for sixteen to twenty hours and am better. The only times I'm sick for more than a day require hospital visits and last weeks, and involve all kinds of antibiotics/treatments. Or it's just some kind of random bug that mildly inconveniences me for a few days and then goes away.

    Well, glad your better, and good job on your GPA. I wish I could get more 4.0s, really. I've gotten... four 4.0s in my college career, out of 18 classes total. President's honor roll only three times, vice president's once. Last quarter I even got the second lowest grade I've ever gotten- a 2.8.

    You're really an amazing student. I strive to be as intelligent and academically inclined as yourself.

    Hey man, professionals need money.

    Meds are foreign substances that alter chemical processes in the body. It counteracts the symptoms of the stress. Maybe you should work possibly towards eliminating the source of the stress? Seems like a better idea. And I'm not talking about dropping classes or taking on a lighter load. There are millions of ways to eliminate stress without needing meds or a different lifstyle.

    I strongly recommend a stress management class. Most degree programs require a small portion of the credit be from a physical education class. Most everything else is training and education on making money, and living in the real world. That small portion is for treating your body right and being physically healthy. There's almost no better way to do it than in a stress management class.

    Who doesn't recommend it? I think I'll go with the advice I got from my psychologist and psychiatrist. They are professionals after all.

    How close are you to being done? You're in your third year, if I remember right?

    Prozac? Ehehe, life can get pretty tough some times, but throwing meds at it isn't recommended. Have you ever taken a Stress Management class? I would highly advise it. Trust me, it will change your life perspective at least a little bit. That class was one of the best things that ever happened to me.

    The only Gameboy game I played at length was Pokemon.

    I finish on Saturday. Finals have been great so far. I'll go 4.0 if I take care of business. Taking summer classes back in Tosa. Hopefully have a job at the rec department. Been approved to start taking prozac. Ready to turn the page on this chapter of my life.

    Woah, you haven't played Link's Awakening? Jeeeez, that's in my top three favorite Zelda games, man. You need to do that.

    Anyway, how's life going? I finally got accepted at my university of choice and I'm going down there this weekend to get things in order and stuff.

    The next two years of my life will be away from my family in a little farm town 70 miles from civilization. Awesome. And it will cost me 45,000 dollars. Great.

    And that's more than fine. I've just never experienced any kind of hardship whatsoever interacting without alcohol. I can loosen-up just fine and do mostly anything without need for chemicals.

    Again, I have no judgment of those that use alcohol for said purposes. I do pass judgment on those that binge-drink, or use it as a means of escape, but that's a different thing entirely.
