Chicago: Become Familiar with its Distinctive Neighborhoods

Srsly.

Hey, check out my new profile when you get a chance.

Look, I don't mind that she posts on the thread, just why would you bother enumerating the people attending an event that you're not coming to yourself? Never mind.

p.s. i never knew how little final projects mattered in terms of grading and professors not waning to bother grading before deadlines.

(Chaki made some comment on the Noise Board about how Kevin's posts are frequently about drinking and getting drunk.)

i like that kevin posts about drinking. he seems like a fun guy.

Alot of people post about drinking. It is a social activity.

I usually post about wanting to drink, seeing as how I can't do that at work.

Look, I don't mind that she posts on the thread,

in fine chicago thread tradition let's line up in order of who has permission to post to the thread.

You know what horrible schlubby-guy sitcom I found on Ch. 50 the other night? I forget what it's called, but it's the one that has the dude from The Full Monty in it. I was marveling at his accent, which was not just American but schlubby Chicago guy.

this is the most generic and least funny sitcom ever. it is called 'still standing.' and that dude sounds totally irish! he doesn't even attempt an american accent!

holy fuck is ike turner really dead??!?!?!?

looks like it: http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20165833,00.html

Give it a rest. Everyone has permission to post on the thread. Stop trying to make it look like I think otherwise.

Did Thirsty Thursday come about to battle the horrors of Whiny Wednesday?

lol

it's sad but occasionally true.

I don't think anyone's whining...?

There just seems to be a whiny vibe in the thread today. Maybe defensive is more apt.

why don't we all duke it out in the playground

I just realized that I miss getting grades. Got to love that positive reinforcement.

Maybe I should start giving myself grades.

A++ for Sarah
Your enthusiasm for learning is unparalleled and you're a real asset to the classroom.

ha ha Thanks!

maybe would've been able to drink tonight, can't tomorrow

though i guess sarah said that

OTM.

What do I get for already saying that? (x)

B+

S - Satisfactory

see ^^ that ^^ to me implies otherwise.
john, i don't mind that those are the kind of posts you make.

I was actually talking to Kr about that recently, although it was in the context of us having different experiences in school vs. real life. She claims to have slacked off in school and only now, in the workplace, is she properly motivated. Whereas, I'm far more likely to slack off at work, and I think part of that has to do with the fact that there are much fewer incentives (like grades) to do well.

Cry!

Crying about a B+ = grade grubber

Change grade to C- for grade grubbing

I managed to get a C in elementary school at one point in Handwriting. My Dad gave me a huge lecture about how important it would be in my future. Welcome to technology, pops!

xp Shit, you're tough!

What if I only cried alone at home on my pink checkered bedspread?

I fully expect to get an Incomplete and I'm okay with that. I try never to let school get in the way of my education. :)

Would you say you have street smarts, Laurel? ;-)

Yes, I always signal before turning.

see ^^ that ^^ to me implies otherwise.

I was responding to Dan's post about "_______ doesn't live here." I was trying to clarify that I'm not creating some hierarchy between Chicagoans and non-Chicagoans, just that I thought it was strange that someone who clearly wasn't attending an event felt the need to list who was going. I would've thought it weird if Amanda had done the same thing. Maybe it doesn't matter and I shouldn't have said anything, but I wanted to figure out whether there was some subtext to her comment that I missed.

Seriously though, grade grubbers are really annoying. I was one in grad school and I annoyed myself.

Does grade grubbing include defending your answers to get more points? I did that all the time.

"Excuse me, but I see you marked this wrong. Let me explain why I said that..."

Amanda! You didn't.

She claims to have slacked off in school and only now, in the workplace, is she properly motivated.

2x, I don't miss getting graded at all (not that I never slack off at work, but it's nothing like when I was in school).

kevin, how about less fighting with jaymc and more recommending me ike turner records?

(i should be getting that turntable tonight)

I think I miss the natural competition of school. Here it's like, can you even measure whether or not I'm a better copy editor than the person in the cubicle next to me? And even if you could, who cares?
