    Boulder numbers are fairly recent.

    I'm not really sure what my school costs now. I'd have to guess over 40K just for tuition.

    Edit: Just checked. 36K. 6K increase over 10 years. That's not too bad.

    Damn, I was paying $1K for tuition in the 80s. Didn't seem cheap at the time.

    You can cut me off from the civilized world. You can incarcerate me with two moronic cellmates. You can torture me with your thrice daily swill, but you cannot break the spirit of a Winchester. My voice shall be heard from this wilderness, and I shall be delivered from this fetid and festering sewer.

    Grad school tuition in 2005 was about $2500 per semester for in-state where I went to school, out of state wasn't much more. 36K is outrageous.
    Remind me. We'll send him a red cap and a Speedo.

    This is my last undergrad semester, too. Friggin' 9 years after graduating HS. I only have 2 classes for 6 credits, both lower-level classes. It would be easier if both classes didn't feel like such a waste of time.

    I went into this semester hoping to kick my GPA up by a tenth or so, and that should still be relatively easy to do. If either class involved any major projects it probably wouldn't be looking so good, though.

    Thats ok, we are talking here about legitimate films, about skiing and stuff. You know, films that people pay lots of money to see, and what has historically been a very lucrative and admirable field.

    How about Belushi in Animal House when he finds out he's being expelled....

    Shut your eyes and think of somewhere. Somewhere cold and caked with snow.

    i was a hispanic studies major in undergrad.... I had a film minor.... 3 years later I decided to go get an MBA.... there is a lot of shit to be learned from MBA's even if it has nothing to do with what you were thinking about... especially if you are looking at owning your own company or selling products... its also a really good way to meet contracts...

    that being said... i am done in june, and cannot wait. this school thing gets in the way of me doing everything... and i don't even work that hard at it.

I used to get A's and be an authority on current events , politics, and history, but now I wait until the last minute to do anything and I end up checking back here after every paragraph of a paper and every chapter of a book.


    That does make you an expert on current events, et al. Don't you read the Padded Room? Everybody here is an expert on current events, politics and history

    I agree it is a constitutional right for Americans to be assholes...its just too bad that so many take the opportunity...
