<p>i know that this is very cliche and "of the moment" - but the life of Alexander is very intriguing to me. i am learning about him in my ethics course at college as we speak, fascinating!</p>

<p>yes u did god u thread killer</p>

<p>DO YOU FEEL THREATENED? :)</p>

<p>lol whee encodeschia can live on!</p>

<p>encodeschia combined have too many posts ahhh! haha es increible!</p>

<p>i have a question for you guys---if you do end up going to princeton, how do you plan to satisfy your distributional requirements? are you going to be a good student and challenge yourself and take wicked hard math courses and stuff or are you going to be a slacker like me and retake Calc I in college and take Weather and Climate and Psych for science and tech?</p>

<p>I might slack a little in math b/c it's "not my thing" anyway...in sci I might be a bit more adventurous, but I certainly will stick to biological/behavioral sciences and not, say, Physics or Organic Chem....</p>

<p>i understand the distributional requirement philosophy but i don't feel like doing a real science class ever again in my entire life. it's really weird, i just HATE science. it's my least favorite cateogry of class</p>

<p>I liked Biology and didn't have major issues with Chem, but Physics isn't fun in any way, shape, or form. It's torture, in fact.</p>

<p>lol, retaking calc I is slacking? Darn, and here I was thinking that I was brave to face calc ever again. I think I might take a lab science, molecular bio maybe. Science used to be my thing, but not so much anymore. I was looking through the course catalog/announcement thing though and there are so many interesting courses!</p>

<p>ummm im gonna take the easiest classes possible are u kidding me? who wants a challenge lol jk...kinda</p>

<p>I bet we hit 7,000 posts tonight...wow, we're all addicted...</p>
