Why oh Why

[tsumik]

Why hasn't my stupid LJ changed over to a paid account yet. Banks there so slow or something processing this stuff. I guess it's the holiday so I shouldn't complain.

It's been quite grand having my sister and brother visit though. I don't get to see them very much and it's good to my inner self.

For some reason today I had this sort of revalation. I still don't believe one gets too much better of an education at an ivy league school then anywhere else. Well not anywhere but most state and private schools. It's more of the people you go to school with. Most of them are intelligent and resourceful and while they might be trying to cure cancer or be the next anti-super hero dibolical they all have a passion and drive to be greater then they are currently. Which I believe isn't not nearly close to the truth at these other schools. So in a sense your success has greater potential through the network and associations you have available and meet in school of other individuals more likey to be successful. So in that regard I'm sort of sad to not have gone to princeton. But at the same time I'm still glad I gave it all up for the multifaceted education from the multiple smaller schools I recieved. And not to mention the people I will never forget.

I agree on the whole school thing. I refuse to attend another private school... they suck your money out and sometimes the teachers just aren't as good. I'd rather have a better experience at a state school ^^ Cheaper too!!

Will you take pics of me and BJ sometime soon? Me wants them for the redesign of the webpage and possibly xmas gifts to friends *hehe*

I think that environments are sort of like pepper mints. They both raise your iq just a tad. (pepper mints because they open your synapse pathways, environments because they raise your neurotransmitter's pressure.) At an Ivy League, you do not have a full or part time job, you don't experience too many out of school activities. You drive yourself, your teachers teach you to think in a more successful way. They teach you to analyze through repetition until you figure it out for yourself. It's such a great opportunity to fullfil your goals when your there, so you do what you can to give yourself better odds. Anywho, I'm off. I'll tell you a more accurate portrail in 4-5 years if i still know you =) I'm in a community college now, and I'm hoping I'll be at the Naval Academy within a year.
