@Hutch: im in the psych dept. i study cognitive neuroscience, specifically, the neural basis of language processing.
Nice. Do you work maily with children or people with an impaired ability to process language? Have you read many Steven Pinker books? (His books are as far as my understanding on this topic extends unfortunately!)

i only do research on normal processing, and only with adults. i do MRI stuff, imaging the brain to see how learning second languages changes its structure, and also i look at the current the brain generates while doing different types of linguistic tasks, which gives you a decent idea of what types of brain activity are ocuring during those tasks.

i read 'the language instinct' when i was in highschool, its actually one of the things that go me interested in psycholinguistics, and it was great, and i read 'how the mind works' (which is the most arrogantly titled book ever) and thought it was decent. It's hard for me to read pop science in my field these days as the simplicity annoys me, so i havent looked at his newer stuff, its gotten lambasted by literary critics, is it any good?

University of New Mexico majoring in nursing. The wackest university in the nation when it comes to partying or having fun. Nobody listens to hip hop here. All the girls are the hollister/abercrombie type that won't holler unless you wear your collar up. Or the super serious student that's trying to get straight A's so she can get into pharmacy or med school.

You fucking suck. Let me school you on what you should do.

1. Go find two of your friends who have nothing else to do but hang on to your every word. It would be best if one of them has connections at radio shack/ bes buy or a similar store. The other must be a drunk.

2. Rent a small house. Go to your AS department and register as a frat. It MUST be a fake frat so as to not arouse suspicion from other chapters in the area.

3. Throw kick ass parties whilst at the same time pissing of the dean.

4. Realize that life isn't all about partying and then come to terms that those abercrombie/hollister girls girls you fucked since you became big man on campus aren't what makes you happy, but rather your bestfriend who happens to be a girl.

5. Thank me.

That's why it is EXACTLY your thing - think of all the bullshit books these wankers will be pumping out when they graduate - who will seriously want to read weird ass sci-fi comic books? You will stand out as the one true author who writes books that people want to actually read. If you're serious about writing, then theres nothing stopping you from shining like a diamond among a mound of sci fi writing, shitty poetry writing, techno/electronica listening dirt.

Still can't get over the fact that you have to be 21 before you can drink. We can legally start drinking at 18 (and theres so many 15 year olds sneaking into pubs that you gotta be careful not to get done for underage sex!).
