Yeah, I had to put it aside completely until the finals are over.

Where do hippies get their adorably wrong ideas from? No seriously, because this one is pretty fucking stupid, even for a hippie:

Yea right!! After 100 years with UN promoting and allowing World to spray highly toxic chemicals upon all the insect Kingdoms, with only a few substance outlawed, now sold for WARFARE ingredients for making chemical bombs.

TRUE PEACE will reign upon Earth when UN and all Governments preach vegetarianism and not The Protein Theory.

Crime, wars - Hardness of Heart, derives from slaughtering eating the flesh of animals. period. We are a species evolving intelligence for? Meat? Bugs?

 i always know what's on my table!  it's always a fresh ripe ORGANIC harvest! And it's for, Heart!!

One of my theories is that they're all from an alternate universe where that shit is actually true.

That... that has a lot of entertainment potential right there.

No kidding. I remember a friend of mine getting into Northeastern and then wanted to transfer to UMass Boston, but that was a bit tricky because for some fucked up reason, Northeastern is a 5 year university.

It's pretty impressive that the UN has been promoting highly toxic chemicals for 100 years when it was founded in 1945.

Time travel's a bitch.

Maybe a better question is, how many hours per week do you spend in the classroom for a 3-4 credit class?

I feel like shit  is altogether different on a quarter system. For instance, most classes are 4 credits, lab classes are usually 5.

Credits are the same as amount of hours per week in the classroom. I think. My lab class this semester was online. Last time I took an in person lab class was a while ago, and that was intro to Biology. But I can't seem to see myself sitting in that room for 4 hours. Maybe I had it on two different nights a week, which would make some sense. Recently I've been favoring all in the same day classes, which I might well abandon next semester. Actually, wait that makes sense, I seem to recall having lectures and labs on separate days. 3 credit courses are scheduled for three hours with a half hour break.

Is that 3 hours per week? I haven't taken any classes that were less than 4 hours per week. I'm just trying to figure out how semesters align with quarters. In a quarter system you can take up to 18 credits per quarter, therefore up to 72 credits per year.

Hmmm. I wonder if it's a state by state thing? Associates is I think 62 credits.

I find it so weird how out of sync everyone's college schedules are.

It is pretty strange.

It makes sense that schools on the quarter system are out of sync with schools on the semester system, but what's weird to me is schools that are on the quarter system that are apparently using a completely different quarter system.

Having exactly no semester schools in my area, I am curious: how many credits per semester is normal full-time?

Full time is 12 or more credits per semester. More than 20 often requires special permission from some guy named Dean.

Wait, I think that's probably more than 16 credits requires special permission. Normal courses are 3 credits, lab science courses are 4.

I now have one more essay question.

I will lodge another objection after a short break.

Sleep is not an option until this is done.

Ah.  I see.  It's an unmeasurable particle, because they're using that incredibly specific definition of "particle", which when used this way, is almost like a verb.

well i guess you don't make it to pop science magazines with explaining properly! 

I'm not so familiar with particle physics - is this another case of terminology getting out of hand?

I think its not so much that but the terminology being misleading to the layman.
