<p>haha thanks...wow, my s/n gives people the creeps</p>
<p>I'm not sure if it's my first choice anymore!! I got into Swarthmore and I love it .</p>
<p>hmm...I have just looked up encomium and it is quite different from what I had imagined its meaning to be :o so I guess your s/n only creeps out the ignorant who imagine it to be the name of a killer, intelligent robot versus "warm glowing praise"</p>
<p>Lol</p>
<p>I always loved the word "encomium"</p>
<p>and i've always loved the word "money" :)</p>
<p>You'll fit right in at Princeton, then.</p>
<p>many words have so much more meaning for you since you know latin. i checked out latin for dummies and had a great time reading their mock dialogues but that's about it. oh well, latin's on my to do list.</p>
<p>Latin changed my life.</p>
<p>jesus changed my life.</p>
<p>i have thus withdrawn my acceptance to princeton and enrolled at bob jones university.</p>
<p>may you all be saved, and goodbye forever. the internet is for the heathen.</p>
<p>really enco? could you go into more detail. our school does not have a latin curriculum, much to my dismay.</p>
<p>ilcapo...what's sad is i actually know people who believe the internet is for the heathen :p</p>
<p>Latin has made me a smarter, more analytical person and exposed me to the greatest, most artistic poetry I have read. </p>
<p>[cries]</p>
<p>You threaten on a regular basis to enroll at BJU, ilcapo.</p>
<p>wow...that sounds absolutely incredible and beautiful. but what do you do with a classics major?</p>
<p>Well I want to get a Ph. D and teach.</p>
<p>some classics majors become doctors, lawyers, writers, etc.</p>
<p>see, it's people like you that make me want to go to pton...seriously, i really admire that kind of devotion/love to academia/learning. it just leaves me speechless with awe. most people i know just want to be doctors, engineers, or lawyers.</p>
<p>My friend who is an artist wants to do a classics major.</p>
<p>i want to be a writer but not the kind that would require a classics degree; rather, it's the kind classics majors look down upon. :)</p>
<p>And about "bob jones university"... did anyone else get a letter from Jerry Falwell/ Liberty University? It was like, "God has a plan for ou...Come to Liberty University!" It was weird coming from a college prospectus-type letter. I go to church, not to college, to hear these things. I think I posted this on the Yale board waaaay back before, during EA.</p>
<p>LOL! I had no idea that sort of stuff actually got sent out.</p>
<p>Wow I feel so special! Thanks haosquared. I don't think less of doctors, laywers, etc. I just think that that profession is not right for me.</p>
