hypothetical question??

[Jonas]

My dear Isabella, I refer to the music only. I'm sure your stuff is young and vibrant. I ment no disrespect.

 

[Isabella Thorne]

yes but does Donovan have super powers?

... hmmmm a collector of 45s and a gentleman too ... no disrespect taken kind sir ... lmao

i love the old stuff and the new stuff too .. i guess you could say i'm pretty tarty when it comes to rock lol .. although i guess donovan is more folk .. right?

 

[Jonas]

Donovan is folk rock. He's from a good era that included a young Bob Dylan, the Byrds and my favorite folk guy Arlo Guthie. I can't say I collect the 45's-but they are in the basement until I gather the courage to put them on e-bay.
I'm strickly a CD man now.

 

[Isabella Thorne]

[Flagg]

I would like to be able to change an autumnal tree into a fully blossomed one with a simple *click* of my fingers.

..

yeah, as if. I want x-ray vision and mind controlling powers like every other red-blooded male on this planet.

Peeking in.... Hiya Jade honey.

well, not right now... they actually start on the 31st. but this isn't exactly normal for a Canadian university... my university just happens to be weird.

(not to mention, the best... but that's just school spirit )

let me put it this way: my summer vacation does not exist. right now, i have a 40-hour class week.

it works like this. i started university in september, went to class till christmas, then went straight out on a work term in january. back to school in may, then i'm back out to work this september. and so on, for five years. no break.

on the upside, you pull in some really helpful cash. and my first job kicked so much ass it wasn't even funny.

Okay, I take it that means you are really really busy but I have a feeling that we count hours differently over here b/c 12 hours is considered to be a full course load and I take a min. of 9 every semester, usually more.

Can someone tell me how canadians count semester hours? I am interested to know. Thanks!

basically, any hour during which you're either in lecture, tutorial, or lab is counted as a "class hour." i have 18 weekly hours of pure lectures, the rest is tutorials and labs...

how do you guys cout it, at, uh, wherever you are?

Hmm, well, it really doesn't make much sense (here in USA) the way they count it but typically it is how many hours you spend in class although often enough, I have taken labs that only count as "one" credit hour or possibly two and I will spend around 3-4 in class hours per week. (so they really screw you on the lab hours basically!). I have a two hour lab this fall, which will likely kick my ass (check for Jade posts in the Spring, there may not be any b/c my brain may possibly fry away...) and it involves 8 HOURS of in class time (starting at 8 AM twice a week until 12 PM ugh!!) and of course it also requires substantial out of class time. Okay so I am complaining...
any sympathy??

 

[~justin]

*fuzzes Jade* you've got my sympathy. what are you taking that's so bad? well, of course, one could ask the same question of me... but anyway. what is it?
