You are forever frosh. For shame!

Of course, this does benefit me. You will forever be required to buy me a pint when you see me, and a whole pitcher if it is at Clark.

Mmmm I can taste that 50 now…  
And once again, back to the OP… buy a laptop. 🙂

Wow, didn’t realize that so many Queen’s alumni are dopers!  
Sci 05 checking in here. APSC 112 is a drag. Westies rock!

Oh, and yes, a laptop would be a good idea. I see little groups of commies around campus everywhere with a laptop each all connected together doing their stuff.

Commies suck for money.

So sing at them : Shit, on, shit, on, shit on the commies below, below.

I dinnae go to Queens. I just mock them relentlessly because they had to come to Quebec to buy beer. 🙂

And…let’s hear (see) your year verse…

We were stuck in Clark Hall when we shoulda been in class  
The ArtScies were yadda yadda yadda Commies yadda in yadda  
And that’s as much as I will share of mine 🙂

Worst class is that drafting one that we had to take in the middle of the night. Cause that’s exactly what I wanted to spend my Wednesday night doing. Go autocad!

We hate the fucking commies cuz their heads are up their ass!  
The top job for an artsci is to cut my fucking grass!  
We blast our way through every class and drink until we die!  
We’re tough as shit, so deal with it! Bow down to Sci '05! 😃

What I hated was that GEO class, god that was boring! Sitting at Ellis learning about different types of rocks was NOT my idea of fun. (And like it has anything to do with my discipline) Memorizing a hundred types of rocks and how they look like was pure hell. Drafting class was okay, but I still have no clue what auxilary views are about!

AH! I had forgot Geo at Ellis. Did you go on that field trip to the quarry? Rained the whole time. Yuck.

Yes I did, it was too damn cold and everyone just wanted to get back on the bus. Dr. Hanes (don’t know if you had him, the hippie dude with the hockey stick) he actually ate some clay and can tell what type it is from the graininess in his mouth.

Rather than completely hijack **sstaurus** ’s thread I made a topic for Queen’s people [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=188368).

no one seemed to mention the double cohort…

well congrats to the OP for getting accepted, but competition is gonna be huge for residency and other university stuff. So try and get all of it done quickly. Check each univerisity’s campus orientations and read the magazines that offer overall grades on Canadian Universities.

once again congrats on the acceptances. and good luck on your future studies.
