Since i have been on PWEB...

Talk about anything under the sun or stars - but keep it civil. This is where we really get to know each other. Everyone is welcome, and invited!

Considering that there was a time when half of PWEB was composed of your high school, you really shouldn't be complaining....Not our fault you knew the people before they came :P

Ew. I hated it when it was all my high school. I'm going to the thankful thread to comment on that...

Yay, another linguistics major! People always give me weird looks when I tell them what my major is, then say "what can you do with that?"
Haha, my band teacher used to say that it sounds like linguine. The thing about that is that it's a fairly viable question. I always say "I'm gonna get a PhD" and hope it suffices. :stoned:

I've tried to write this several times. I'm just not really sure how to chronicle my life like this.

I joined summer between my sophomore and junior years of high school. I went through a breakup with a guy that went really kinda psycho on me. Pweb helped me through a variety of Garrett related incidents.
Pweb saw me through the rest of my bad relationship decisions, both romantic and not, in high school.
I made and lost some of my best friends. I'm recently trying to reforge at least a small connection with some of them.
A number of pwebbers helped me with a different problem that appears and disappears sporadically.
I wrote my college admission essay about Pweb/sheroes and I got into Rice.
Pweb saw me disappear into the abyss that is a Bioengineering/English double major at a difficult, prestigious university.
Pweb saw me dislike and then adore my parents. My mom is among my best friends now.
Pweb has seen me solidify my desire to and plan to become a veterinarian.
I started dating a boy that I've been with for 2 years now and shocked pwebbers at my having finally found someone who holds my interest.
I started volunteering at the HSPCA which has been among the most rewarding and exciting experiences in my life. In my ideal world, I will go get a vet degree then come work at the HSPCA.
Pweb will now get to watch me go through the grueling process of designing a medical device that's actually supposed to work. (We're designing a device to make dosing drugs for pediatric AIDS in africa easier. Currently most drugs are administered in secret by elderly relatives with little visual acuity and questionable motor skills.)

I feel like there's so many more things. But I guess those are the highlights.

I never knew that! If you still have it, I would be interested in reading it.

Bwahaha! :D You know what my favorite is though? Cookie witches!

There are cookiewiches at my dining hall, and whenever anyone says that word, I think of Cookie Monster and the Cookie Tree and giggle.

Cut off 2" of hair at once.
Is 2 inches of hair a lot for you to cut off at once? Or did you mean two feet? I just ask because 2 inches doesn't seem that much. I think the most I've cut off at once is probably 12-14 inches.

Well, let's see what I've accomplished in 8 month since joining Pweb...

WORK:
Got no job, though I finally started trying. School and Scouts takes too much time.

Academic:
Started X grade, and finished X-1 grade (one of the things I DON'T EVER reveal in a forum...though you may find out anyways)

Athletic:
Got better at basketball, and stayed about the same at soccer, though I play it much less

Family:
Dad became a judge
Mom became a high level doctor (can't explain her job...kinda hard, but she's paid mucha money ^_^)

Finances:
Stayed about the same- me still poor, parents still upper-middle =)

Friends:
Didn't differ much.
Who controls the British crown? Who keeps the metric system down?
We do! We do!
Who leaves Atlantis off the maps? Who keeps the Martians under wraps?
We do! We do!
Who holds back the electric car? Who makes Steve Gutenberg a star?
We do! We do!
Who robs cavefish of their sight? Who rigs every Oscar night?
We do, we do!
