Not at it at all.

All I know is that '86 was a bad year for me. It included my Animal House Semester where I dropped two classes, and in the remaining three, I scored two Cs and an F. 1.33. "Congratulations, your grades are the highest in Delta House."

Oh, no...let's see...'86...I was 13. So I guess like 8th grade...? I had bad hair, but I was skinny and had a clearer complexion than I do now. Hmmm....

Of course not, just less reason not to.

I 2nd that! 2008 is not ending on a good note for me. At least if 2009 starts on a shity note, there will be lots of room for improvement.

I had a perfect 1.00 gpa one semester: F, D, D, C. I refer to it as my case of "academic indigestion". And I didn't even get to do any Animal House partying Dead

Yeah, '08 wasn't a great year for me, either...health issues, first DNS, started covered in snow and crappy weather and is ending the same way. I'm hoping '09 is like '07 was for me. Perhaps the odd # years are golden. Tongue

You mean besides running 1500+ miles and competing your first marathon. Tongue

On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

Neither did I! I had a job where I worked all night, so I slept through my classes a lot. And I was dating Psycho Hose Beast. In no way was Spring '86 a good time. That year was, however, outdone by 1992. And 1994. And 2000. And, almost very close, 2007.

You mean surviving my first... Tongue

Yeah, the 1500 is only because I'm stupid and stubborn. Could have done more if I didn't keep getting knocked down by lung and knee issues every time I start to pick up a head of steam.

Oh thanks, now I just feel old. I believe '86 is when I changed majors from pre-med to journalism. College became Hell of a lot eaiser. Plus, I met more drinking buddies in editing class than in chemistry. Big grin

Actually, I tired of all of the bad news in '08. Not that it is going to suddenly get better in '09. Girl can have a litte hope right?

Carlsbad 1/2 marathon 1/26.

Don't worry Zoom Zoom its the bad years that make you appreciate the good ones, it would be boring if it was always the same.

Old age is when you move from illegal to prescribed drugs.
