our class had chicken wings tonight... along with macaroni soup, veggie egg rolls, and triangular potato things i've never tried before but tasted really good. i'm not sure what the dessert was either, but it had a lot of cream and also tasted really good. i do enjoy my monday nights :)
i've chosen another one of my favourites (why? no reason) to post from my 'archives'... an awesome and inspiring speech from babylon 5, believe it or not. i have brian to thank for this one:
"I give you what little wisdom i have. [....] From time to time, we will make mistakes; they are inevitable. Sometimes those mistakes will be huge. What matters is that you learn from them. There`s nothing wrong with falling down as long as you end up just two inches taller when you pick yourself up off the floor. At times, you may end up far away from home. You may not be sure of where you belong anymore. But home is always there, because home is not a place; it`s wherever your passion takes you.
"As you continue on your path, you will lose some friends and gain new ones. The process is painful, but often necessary. They will change, and you will change, because life is change. From time to time, they must find their own way, and that way may not be yours. Enjoy them for what they are, and remember them for what they were.
"There is not much left, except... I believe, I do believe that sooner or later, no matter what happens, things will work out. Now we have hard times, we suffer, we lose loved ones. The road is never easy. It was never meant to be easy. But in the long run, if you stay true to what you believe, things do work out. Always be willing to fight for what you believe in. It doesn`t matter if a thousand people agree with you, or one person agrees with you. It doesn`t matter if you stand completely alone. Fight for what you believe. Which brings me to the first piece of advice my dad ever gave me and now I`m gonna give to you: Never, never start a fight. But always finish it. Always finish it."
- J. Michael Straczynski

haha, i guess i deserve that comment up there (the no reason one).... :D i never really got into babylon 5 or any of the trek series actually, but i liked this quote when i read it at your page and a bunch of other ones... i never thought it was that long the first time tho... quick question for you, or anyone for that matter: have you seen me really finish something before? as in like really accomplish something? just curious...
and in response to your next post: gah, i hate id pictures... :D
i never got into babylon 5 either... totally brian's domain :P
university is as big an accomplishment as anything else... engineering's a bonus too. though i'm not sure if that's what u mean. if u're referring to anything of superman saving-the-world calibre, nothing really comes to mind... hehe.
