Hello,
Springboarding off the idea of listing stuff to do that Alex and Ashish had, here's mine. Any comments would be appreciated.
TODO:
1) Find stuff to do
2) Descend lower into the rungs of hippie-land.
3) Decide upon a major: over the past 3 months, I've become thoroughly disenchanted with computers. They just don't fucking do anything. At least they're more productive than being some sort of accountant - i.e. they BARELY generate new wealth. Accountants, lawyers, etc. just work with the system to help transfer money from the proletariat to the upper class. It's really fucked up that our nation is churning out people who produce no real increase in wealth while engineering and manufacturing dwindles. Computers just organize data. Meh. Go do something productive like save the planet or people.
I'm pretty much stuck at BU, unless I want to go to UMass _____ because after seeing all the girls and social people here, there is no way I'm going to an engineering geek only college. It's a pity BU only offers Computer, Electrical, Mechanical, Aerospace, Manufacturing, and Biomedical Engineering. We need Environmental / Civil Engineering because I so want to do these two. I'm almost decided that I'll switch from Computer Engineering to Mechanical and get a minor (or major, if possible) in Environmental Sciences. This would hopefully help me if/when I go to graduate school for Environmental engineering / something similar or get into a company which has a department based on this. For example, I could help both the American economy and the environment by working for (insert American car company) in their research and development department developing fuel efficient transportation. HOW THE FUCK DOESN'T AMERICA HAVE A HYBRID YET? HOW DID WE LET OTHER COUNTRIES BE THE LEADERS IN TECHNOLOGY?
4) Join and help fully form Engineers Without Borders at BU. Changing my major to Mechanical would help me more thoroughly participate in this (see rant above).
5) Garden a lot more. This includes becoming a leader in the Organic Gardening Club I'm in and also growing a San Pedro cactus to make peyote from.
6) Stay vegan.
7) Be able to climb a V6 or 5.13 by the end of senior year at least. This involves keeping up my climbing and working out over the summer and during the school year.
8) Get an apartment with like minded people.
9) Join more radical organizations to help BU once again become known as the Berkeley of the East Coast (like it was before a president in the 70's created the BU police and bashed all of our hippie's skulls in).
10) Kayak, hike, ice climb, bike, and enjoy life.
11) Get a tan.
Peace, love and happiness. Dig yourselves thoroughly.
Chris

there has to be some college in the area that offers EnviroE. Or you could just come to cornell. give me some company or something
I'll give you a handshake if you stay vegan all four years....
Okay, here's my take, starting with the high prime numbers, to the low, then the low composites to the high, and then 1 just cause it doesn't fit anywhere cause 1's a tool.
11.) The irish don't get tanned, they get burnt. You know what you need to do to improve your skin tone? Drink more, haha
7.) what? why? you mean a car, no?
5.) aye. gardening is fun, as long as you keep it in pots and things, so you don't have to bend over, werd. unless you cut off your legs
3.) you could model things. that's incorporating your computer skills into whatever you want to do.
and america doesnt have a hybrid because hybrids weren't the rage 3 years ago, and well, fucking american entrepreneurs don't look forward at all. america is certainly the most backward nation of our times.
2.) just don't share your clothes with other people. and dno't get beat up by police.
4.) what what? no entiendo porqué
6.) again. the whole handshake bit
8.) yes, apartment life is the shit.
10.) we're in the best place for all of those. yeah
1.) if you're going to spain, then i'm coming no matter what, even if it's just you and her and i'd be the one to make an awkward threesome.
and fuck 1. 1's an eigentool.

I'm kinda stuck at BU because I really don't want to transfer (shitty process) and I'd lose a lot of financial aid.
As for "go somewhere"... I mean like, relationship wise. Not sure what "and fuck 1. 1's an eigentool" means.
Engineers without Borders is like doctors without borders, only better. The projects focus mostly on civil / mechanical engineering i.e. design a way for xxxx village to do yyyyyy. Not like, design a way for xxxxx poor country to have more efficient processors.
The computer technology industry (at least on the manufacturing and hardware design side) is motivated 100% by money. They just keep redesigning chips to make customers buy more and more expensive parts to do basically nothing. Computer software goes along with this trend (Yay Microsoft for making a useless gawdy user interface in order to make ignorant people buy more expensive hardware and waste money upgrading from XP aside from a bit more stability but the same lack of security). In essence, I've come to believe that computers helped humanity up to a point, but no longer are very beneficial (exceptions: "Web 2.0", increased availability, etc.).
As for the tan thing, I am working on the drinking thing.
8 glasses of water a day. you know brooke shields drinks 8 glasses of water a day?
