So sad. So true. I wonder where we'd be if Gore won Florida.

For a guy who just spent $600 on filing fees... I'm impressed.
How true this is... I love how my girlfriends' never get it... they think I'm just 'doddling.' Little do they know that if I had enough time (and a big enough hot water heater)... I'm sure my thinking in the shower would facilitate my destiny to conquer the world.

HOW DID YOU FIND THIS?
Truth be it told... I'd pay $9.95 a month in order to KEEP my FaceBook account. I WILL NEVER RECREATE THE CONNECTIONS and tag all the photos and 'start over.' I'd pay $ no question to keep my account from eternal deletion.
This is a great article... you think facebook will ever charge us to keep our profiles?

Re:Ask YC: How to survive grad school? on Thursday October 30, 2008 @12:55PM (#348843)
I was in Law School for 2 years... It actually worked out quite well. One of the things that you forget about when you are a student is that professors love looking for real world examples that they can incorporate into their curriculum's and classrooms. I had professors, students, and even librarians helping me collect everything from incorporation papers to market research. Eventually, as the company began moving a million miles a minute, I took a step back from my education and decided to get 'the baby out of the crib' before I return.

My point? Utilize what you can from where you are... engage fellow classmates, professors, and faculty. My number one suggestion is pull a professor aside and talk to him, can't hurt can it?

At the end of the day... everyone loves helping a student.
