I LOVE THE LIBRARY!!!!!!!
The Multnomah County Library is sooo cool! If you suggest a book for them to buy, they will buy it! I've really wanted to obtain a copy of Being Colloquial in Esperanto for some time now, as you may know. It costs $15 from the ELNA website, so I never got around to buying it. One day I suggested on the library website that they get a copy. There's this handy little form you can fill out for book suggestions. And lo and behold, I searched their web card catalog just a second ago, and there are TWO copies on order to the Central library. I put in a hold for one, and soon I shall be a picking up a fresh new copy of Being Colloquial in Esperanto after school at the renovated Hillsdale Library across the street from school. So cool.
Now how can we abuse this...?
By the way, would you mind telling your audience the scores of the Jeopardy game in chemistry between Jon's and Adam's side of the room and Ted's side of the room? Was it 3000 to 600? Maybe your vast intellect will help you recall...
No offense intended. It is just that, unlike you, I spend hours every day honing my competitive skills to try and fill the empty void within me.
Ted, I shall have you know that the score as of now is 3000 to 1500. I fill my empty void through other means rather than petty nonsense such as Jeopardy. Nevertheless, I shall have you know that the reason we were doing so poorly was because we kept raising our hands before the question was completed, thus sacrificing our response. The true test of knowledge will be the final, however. Jon won't do so well on it though. I'm thinking he's headed for a paltry 95% on the test. Never mind the fact that his grade is about .5% higher than mine though. Once I ace the final and drop the test score from when I was running on 4 hours of sleep and had a fever of 101 degrees Farenheit. It was the one time when my physical condition truly impacted my mental state. I have tested my limits, and now I shrink from the edge.
You guys have it all wrong.
The show of intellegence is getting the lowest score on the final possible while still maintaining an A in the class.
Now THAT'S an interesting perspective. I think I'll agree.
