Hey all,
So I ended up having a discussion about stereotypes with my friend today. Truth be told we're still having that discussion as I write this.
We ended up getting on a tangent about how the rest of the world sees Americans as, to put it lightly, not all that bright.
Being American myself, I have to say, I don't mind that stereotype. I might not like it being used on me, but I think that there is a bit of truth to that. And when I say a bit what I really mean is the the majority of Americans aren't that smart.
To quote my dear friend, "And even the smart ones still sometimes refer to Swahili as a country."
If you want more fun, sarcastic remarks from my friend, then you should totally check out her new website . It's still starting up, but it's quite good for just beginning. She's currently working on two books that she is posting weekly there.
Till next time,
Hayley

Days of Study, Nights of WoWcraft
Hello all.
Right now I'm almost to the end of Dead Week. For those of you who don't know what Dead Week is, it's the name for the week before finals. It's the last days of class, and the last time that you'll see the sun for any reasonable amount of time. If you count reasonable amount of time as meaning rushing between your classes so that you have time to study later.
Overall, it's horrible. More stressful than the finals themselves is getting ready for the finals. Especially if you (aka me) have a professor that ignores the rules of the university and has one of their finals during this week. Or gives homework. But personally I think the premature final is worse.
This quarter I took and intro to robotics course. Intro my ass! The professor acted as if we were all advanced programming students and pretty much said "Here's the parts, make and program robots for your grade." It sucked.
Anyway. One of the most important things that you can do during the week is to keep calm and relaxed and not try to kill yourself. So my friends decided last night that we would take a small break and play WoW to have fun and let our stress out. We're trying to up our guild rank right now, so we were planning on doing a quick guild run of Deadmines. This small break was supposed to be an hour and a half at max.
We ended up playing from 1030 pm last night until 6 am this morning. We completed guild runs of every classic dungeon on Kalimdor so that we can get the Classic Dungeon Master achievement for our guild. This includes the three of us running naked (so that our gear didn't break as we were playing Alliance at the time) into Orggimar time and time again so that we would be able to run Ragefire Chasm.
This would be funny no matter what, but what made it worse was the fact that we were all hyped up on at least two energy drinks a piece. Oh, and did I mention it was 3 am? And that we had an audience of PCs standing around and watching as a naked dwarf shaman, a human paladin, a human mage, and a night elf druid in flight form ran through the middle of their city, constantly dieing and making very very slow progress to the instance entrance.
While this repeated running and dieing would be insane no matter when you try it, we were lucky to be playing at 3 am, so Orggimar was a lot emptier than it usually is.
Did I mention that we were all completely naked except for city tabards?
So thanks to our insanity Valkyries of Revelation is now halfway done with the Classic Dungeon achievement.
We stopped playing at 8 am, went to our classes at 9 am, came back to the dorms at 10 am, and then slept until 530 pm. Overall it was a good day...night...thing.
Just hope my robot final works tomorrow.
Until next time,
Hayley
