intertribal: (it's always the same)

used up all of my friends, but who needs them?

   

Me and Piper?  Same person.  Believe me, I often imagine myself wielding an ax and wearing way too much leather.  And we all know me and motorcycles.  I told my mother I wanted to ride a motorcycle before I die and she was like, "Grrr."  I think that's actually the sound she made.  I'm pretty sure that she has been on one, but my mother's one of those "do as I say, not as I do" type of parents - that's what you get for having been a hippie, mom. 

Piper:  Leave it to me to fall for a dead guy.
Phoebe:  At least he wasn't a warlock.

Of course she does end up marrying a whitelighter. 

Also, thank God for an A in Topics in Economic History.  I don't want to never be able to think about Malthusian pressure again, since I use it to argue everything these days.  And thank God for my disaster shows, because I can't watch SportsCenter fawn over Texas.

Yeah, I think improvement is really important too. I just mean that I don't like it when people who just "try really hard" (or at least, that's what they cry to the professor) but clearly reach no deeper fortress of the mind (or whatever) or attempt to actually listen to what the professor wants... get good grades.

Well, yeah exactly (a B would be a C, etc.). But you're right, I guess the point is that students need to feel like they did better than a bunch of other people, even when those other people don't exist.

I can't believe anyone would actually cry to their prof about grades. Steve would so bitchslap me if i did that. But yeah, I'm quite sure that you, at any college, deserve the A's you've gotten. I actually think I deserved most of the grades I got too.

Wait, is that what I was saying?

hm, i think it kind of was, yes.

Ha ha, people here cry to their professors about grades in DROVES. DROVES, I TELL YOU.

Thanks though, and I'm sure you do as well.

You know that's not what I meant.

I just found it amusing.
