Why not update?
I think that the entry layout has changed since the last time I updated.
I was reading Ryan's entry on how we think that being smart now means being lazy and being able to pull of good grades and it reminded me of a conversation yesterday with Erica in which she blew my mind. I was telling her how it was the best reward ever to not study and get an A on two of my tests last week. She replied with, "its not a reward... it cant be a reward if you didnt do anything in the first place!" I was dumbfounded, too bad it wont motivate me to study anyways, but it was a great counterpoint to my claim. So i enjoy not doing anything and reaping the benefits (not rewards) of it. it is funny how we were all in TAG and did the little math puzzles and stuff, and how we all ended up going to central together and how we all are living together still now. Except now, we dont do anything. Back then we tried, maybe its because we had teachers that would push us, instead of not know who we are, infact im sure that has a large part to do with it. my advisor im sure doesnt even know who i am, and even though i sit in the front row of all of my classes only one professor knows my name, and that is the class im doing the worst in :(
Anyways the real reason i wanted to update was this survey thingy Ryan did a long time ago.
