  Metallica:

  Pride you took
  pride you feel
  pride that you felt when you'd kneel
  
  not the word
  not the love
  not what you thought from above
  
  it feeds
  it grows
  it clouds all that you will know
  deceit
  deceive
  decide just what you believe
  
  I see faith in your eyes
  never your hear the discouraging lies
  I hear faith in your cries
  broken is the promise, betrayal
  the healing hand held back by the deepened nail
  
  follow the god that failed
  
  find your peace
  find your say
  find the smooth road in your way
  
  trust you gave
  a child to save
  left you cold and him in grave
  
  it feeds
  it grows
  it clouds all that you will know
  deceit

  never you hear the discouraging lies
  I hear faith in your cries
  broken is the promise, betrayal
  the healing hand held back by the deepened nail

  Aerosmith:

  There's somethin' wrong with the world today
  I don't know what it is
  Something's wrong with our eyes
  
  We're seeing things in a different way
  And God knows it ain't His
  It sure ain't no surprise
  
  We're livin' on the edge
  We're livin' on the edge
  We're livin' on the edge
  We're livin' on the edge
  
  There's somethin' wrong with the world today
  The light bulb's gettin' dim
  There's meltdown in the sky
  
  If you can judge a wise man
  By the color of his skin
  Then mister you're a better man that I
  
  We're livin' on the edge
  You can't help yourself from fallin'
  Livin' on the edge
  You can't help yourself at all
  Livin' on the edge
  You can't stop yourself from fallin'
  Livin' on the edge
  
  Tell me what you think about your sit-u-a-tion
  Complication - aggravation
  Is getting to you
  
  If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin'
  Even if it wasn't would you still come crawlin'
  Back again?
  I bet you would my friend
  Again & again & again & again & again

  I was really nervous about flunking when I started back at 23 also. The more classes you take, the more your confidence will grow. The key is to just put the time into the coursework. Also, bug your professors in their office everyday. I didn't figure this one out until my second year. Most of them are glad to help (they'll rattle on about their specialty forever ha ha) during their office hours, and you'll probably make friends with some of them as well. In the end though, don't worry about failing or succeeding, and don't look too far down the road. Just concentrate on taking the classes that are fun, and before you know it, you'll have a degree. :-) That's what I've tried to do anyway, and I'm 9 classes away from a double major. Later, John

  What's your major, Damselfly? I went to two classes today, Spanish and English Lit, and I bought books for the others. I was pleased with the lit classes 'cause I've already read 2/3 of the stuff on the schedule. That's always nice--will cut my work down considerably. :-)

  I think we're missing the big picture here guys. She's not listned one iota to any posts here. The more we respond to her with logical arguments, the more she thinks she's becoming a marter. If we were to either ignore her or agree with her, she'd have left long ago. The truth is, this type of personality likes conflict, and more concerned with proving its superiority than being Christian or finding truth. I add my vote for the suggestion that we all ignore her, until she learns to communicate. Otherwise, while this might be temporarily entertaining, we're just wasting our time.

  Hi HL. I'm a double major--BA in Math and English. I'm cutting back to one part time job this semester, so I'll only be working 25 hours/week.

  Tigerman, I respond to serious posts in a serious manner, as I did yours. They're many here who are hurting and they do tend to attack and make scapegoats out of those with such opinions as Hib's. However, that was not the reason I made my posts, and I would respond in kind to any arguentation that was going the way Hib's was, regardless of the subject. I've already posted my reasons for her posts rubbing me the wrong way, so I'll not repeat them. (I do think I had her laughing a couple of times, but I bet she wouldn't admit it :-)

  At any rate, I consider myself a reasonable person, and I'm still studying various beliefs and religions. If you would like to discuss your beliefs in a reasonable manner, I will by no means make fun of you. Respect breeds respect, no? By the way, I appreciate your level-headed and calm respoonse to what you percieve as an attack on your beliefs (after the post I addressed earlier). We could all learn from that. G'night.

  ... change about yourself, what would it be?.

  i'm thinking along the lines of how you perceive/deal with other people, your attitudes, prejudices, learned behaviours, etc.

  I wish I were rich instead of just so damned good looking. Ha ha. Just kidding. If I could change improve one thing, it would probably be to improve my perception of others' thoughts when I'm talking with them. :-)

  What kind of plane are you building? I was into r/c fairly heavily for a few years. Great fun, but it can be stressful having $1000 whizzing around on the dumb end of a radio signal. :-)
