[Magrittes Pipe]

2. Ha, ha.

You want a job when you graduate.

[JohnKleeb]

3. I need one right now actually

I am looking for one as soon as I finish this semester.

[CanuckAmok]

7. oh, please.

There's nothing you can learn in that ivory tower full of eggheaded longhairs that you can't learn from a dynamic bunch like us.

[JohnKleeb]

9. Actually one of my professors was quite conservative

Take that and eat it good David Horowitz. Though on the other hand my history professor is quite liberal and compared Calvin Coolidge to Bush.

5. I dont need that

But thank you nonetheless.

[Debi]

6. Wha????

This would be the first non-hero-worship Kleeb thread in the history of DU if it did not occur. Do you want me to take it down? :(

[JohnKleeb]

8. I don't mind

Ive kinda been low profile since I got back and I like it hoenstly.

[Debi]

10. Fine, from now on no smilies........maybe

:P

[JohnKleeb]

11. ha your choice

I have to say it was a very interesting half year with all the things I did and people I met.

[Penndems]

12. Welcome back, John Kleeb!

:hi:

Are you enjoying college, young man?

[JohnKleeb]

13. Mostly

I still hate Math though it got easier today. It really is a great experience, US History has been a very neat topic and has made me see things in a whole new light.

[xmas74]

14. I hated math in high school and college

but I'm changing. As a thirtysomething I'm thinking about taking a math course-just a math course-to prove that I can.

You might change also. You never know.

[JohnKleeb]

16. Actually I'd be doing a 360

I loved math as a little kid. I still like some like stats and such.

[xmas74]

17. I was more interested in history.

I loved science but the math always came in the way.

[JohnKleeb]

19. Science to me is a mixed bag

Genetics is something I want to take. History Ive always loved ever sicne I was real young, I was known and still am as the kid who could name all the presidents.

[xmas74]

20. I took genetics many years ago.

It's a hard class w/ lots of work involved. I really enjoyed it because I felt like I had to push myself for the grade and I feel like I've learned a lot from the class.

I'd like to retake it if I could.

[JohnKleeb]

22. I just hope I get a professor like my senior year chem teacher

The guy was awesome and my classmates were some of the best people Ive ever known.

[Penndems]

15. U.S. History and Political Science classes were my favorites

Isn't it amazing what a rich history our country has? :)

I hear ya regarding math. Never was my strong suit.

Have you joined any groups, such as the College Dems, or are you just concentrating solely on your studies at the moment?

[JohnKleeb]

18. Indeed

What was really interesting to me is to see how important Bacon's Rebellion is, I first learned about in Virginia History in fourth grade but we never learned the true importance of it which was the rich white landowners brought in slaves after it and racial scapegoating was born. I would join College Democrats however I go to community college and there is another campus that has College Dems but its on the other side of the county.

[Penndems]

21. If you think United States History I is interesting, wait until

you start U.S. History II. The professor will take about a week just to get through The Civil War!

Plenty of time for you to get into the College Dems when you transfer to a four-year college in your junior year.

[JohnKleeb]

23. I am in two actually

We didn't discuss the war much unfortunely but we did did discuss reconstruction. Actualy we did discuss the war at the end of last semester because we had to read Mike Shaara's Killer Angels, which was neat because I wrote an essay about Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain the hero of Little Round Top.

[Penndems]

24. Huh? They skipped over The Civil War?

Geez, John, I went to NOVA Annandale and my professor spent almost a week going year by year on Civil War studies. As a matter of fact, I helped him do research on John Wilkes Booth for a book he was writing.

I know the powers that be in Fairfax County are hell-bent on scrubbing every last vestige of anything that even remotely smacks of "Southerness", but this is ridiculous. :mad:

[JohnKleeb]

25. We didn't skip it

It just wasn't largely discussed, like no discussion of the battles and all that. Hah Fairfax County doesn't even feel southern, my hometown has a reputation for being the "Spanish" town because of our large hispanic population and the fact that there was a big dispute over the day labor site downtown which helped provoked some in to starting a local minuitemen chapter and these guys even had Tancredo and Gilchrist here. I wish the battles and stuff like that had been discussed too and speaking of history, I never learned abotu Operation Market GArden when I learned about WWII in 10th grade, I found that bizzare until I thought about it because it was a battle that was lost.
