<p>I got into trouble bcoz of drinking.. gave up.. not worth the trouble</p>
<p>:) troubles are the fun part. I got into trouble last year as well and decided not to drink since then, when my dad told me how he used to get into troubles when he was young and how those incidents make up for great memories. When all of us get to be 60, it wont be fun thinkin about our chem/biology classes - it will be those 'troubles' tht we'll look at and smile to ourselves thinkin 'i was such a jerk and god, i loved it...'</p>
<p>no hello is right. in fact my new year resolution is to stop altogether. Sure i've had good times with my friends but there are a zillion other ways to have a good time.
I dont see myself making big business deals with tycoons over drinks and frankly i hate remembering making a fool of myself when im sober.
all in all -no its not a good idea...
but wine...yum....oh well. a resolution is a resolution.</p>
<p>i will call u all in 5 years to chk on how u r doing on the resolutions :)</p>

<p>Personally, I second hello....I love life!</p>
<p>crappy TOEFL has cost me $240 so far!! damn you ETS :mad:</p>
<p>hello - just check on the box of native english speaker. most of us speak/write better english than so many 'english speakin country ppl' - i aint spending a penny on sendin those toefl scores.</p>
<p>It was very difficult to pay so many $$$ for sending TOEFL scores to colleges. I sent e-mails to colleges where I am applying, each of them replied that a cerified copy of the score report received will be Ok. I thought it may help you people to save some money.</p>
<p>Speedpost- I sent 2 apps through Speedpost. It was held up at US customs for 4 days. Ultimately I could track that the apps reached the colleges after a total of 10 days. This is speed!</p>
