Another sleepless night...and I'm still happy about it!

School:
Problem fixed. I talked to more people about the differences between this twat York and the highly-recommended Cohen. York only teaches VA trusts/estates, and I haven't even decided if I'm doing the VA bar or if I'll stay in this conservative shithole after graduation (love Arlington, hate VA). Cohen is recommended, does not assign double the typical workload for a 3 cr class, and does general estate law which applies to many states.
I dropped Trust/Estates, will take in the fall with Cohen. Instead I'm taking another class which looks easy (as in the subject matter has been broached by other classes I've taken already).

I got my grade - only an A. This is the first term I got more than one A, and I'm whining that it's only and A rather than an A+. How quickly they forget!

SPITTING.
My mom pointed out that my note about the vile habit of spitting was timely!

I've Got a Secretion: The Sociology of Spitting
Spitting your bodily fluids at someone is seen as more offensive than hitting

How disgusting is spitting? Even the Chinese are addressing the sickening sound:
Spitting...topped a list of the most disgusting habits in a survey among 10,000 Beijing residents last year

From what I have heard from people that have lived and worked there. In Taiwan everyone spits almost constantly even the women. A friend of mine put it into perspective once. "You see this really hottie walking along and then you hear it... she starts snorting and then she spits. after that she is no longer hot."

Yeah kind of the same effect as if she took a steaming dump...

unless your into that kind of thing... ewwwwwwwww

i think blowing ones nose in public is worse, because there is snot involved.

[vicar.livejournal.com]

Well the sad thing is snot is often involved in both cases - only the path it travels varies. I think I'm more ok with the nose-blowing as it's being put somewhere for disposal, and the path is shorter.

oh yeah, that type of spitting is just VILE.

I thought you meant like just spit spitting. which for some reason is not as gross to me.

Only and A, and not an A+? Cripes, you sound like my mother.

A+'s are purely symbolic at Mason. They don't push your GPA up over 4.0.

And I complained about A -, my GPA would have been higher if I would have stuck with this degree from the beginning. *sigh* I screwed up thinking I could program which landed me a filthy C at one point, so I switched out it. I'm only at 3.58, I wish it was higher, but hey I remained above a 3.5 for most of BS career. :)
