  Talking to yourself is _completely natural_. It is only because we are taught to be silent when we think (i.e. school) that we think it is odd.

  Remember, college isn't JUST for academic learning. There's a variety of people to meet and talk to - some good, some bad, but the experience is what's important. Although your classes and studying are your priority, socializing should not be neglected.
  At least, that's the lesson I learned in "A" school, when the guys who studied with each other at the bar got better grades that I did studying alone in my room.

  i've been lurking for some time and now its time for me to say hello.

  i want to call myself sam on here to avoid any repercussions, whatever they may be i have learnt to cover my back in this life from the experiences i now ask if i may relate.

  i was born into a black working class household in england to a mother who had remarried after splitting up with her first husband in barbados.

  What would you have done?

  what would you have done back in the 1st century when jesus came on the earthly stage and started christianity.

  would you have became his follower?

  how about after he left the earth and christianity began to spread by means of the apostles, would you have been involved in the many congregations that were started throughout the area?

  For me, a good dream is one I can use for a story, a bad dream is one I can't. Lately, my dreams have been too confusing for me to write down. The sort of dreams that seem to fit the statement "If it hadn't have been for my horse, I wouldn't have gone to college." I'm surprised I don't wake up with an aneurysm. (Yes, I know that, by definition, I wouldn't.)
