Things you HAVE but DONT want.

40+ hours a week of class and homework, as part of a job training program. Fun.

If there was a way to picture this situation in a photograph, it would be too heinous to put online. I literally have a three foot high set of textbooks and "additional" reading that sits on my desk, garage, nightstand, and in my car.

iPod Touch (1st gen)

I'll take that off your hands if you'd like.

As for me? A science fair project.

I knew that when I went into the advanced biology class that I'd have to do one, but stupid me assumed it wouldn't be any worse than eighth grade. Ha. Funny. It's way more difficult.

And I've hated science fair ever since ever.

Stupid me...

You know what, do you want to trade situations?

I hated science in high school and college, but after being in the working world almost 30 years, it's stuff like physics, animal biology, and math that excite me today, really. I am tired of nightclubs or hanging out at theaters watching hollywood blockbuster movies. The mall is boring and too much targeted to the youth market. But I can't get enough of science and anytime something comes up on public tv, animal planet, or the history channel, I am there.

that's really cool. i remember struggling in high school freshman year bio. then went into chem e and changed to biology/psychology for my majors. then thought law school, and am now back to thinking pharmacy.

science is one of those things that will affect you whether you like it or not, and it's really cool to understand and learn about it.

right now, my job, but not my passion, is to learn about contracts, wills, probate and other solicitor stuff and it will pay the bills like every other job i had in my life

if i were younger i would love to be a field biologist or an astronomer

the founder of the "learning company" was actually an ex-lawyer who woke up one day and decided to follow his passions of the liberal arts of undergraduate school and high school

he put out tapes, and then CD/DVDs, and made that his living

i, too find the liberal arts and science stuff of high school and undergrad the most fascinating stuff in life

grad school or professional school (jd, md, pharmd, dds, mba) from what i have seen, is further job training for most people who just want a bump up in salary/wage in a job/career they would rather not have

if someone could, they should follow their passions and very few have the vision or the convenience of such a venture ... and fewer have the courage

 

[ayeying]

PAPER. I completely forgot. I have paper that I don't want. Im going paperless in my room as much as I can.

high risk, high reward, but there aren't many who are willing to take on that risk (usually financial for business loans, etc.).

i remember reading somewhere that people who graduated during recession times were less likely to go into risky things like investment banking whereas those who graduated during prosperous times were more likely to take on more risk for greater rewards.

we all make our own choices, whether to stay in our jobs or to move on to something else....

is someone gonna post manboobs?

i love how we talked about science and careers and then quickly transitioned into manboobs

iPhone 3G and Audio-Technica Quietpoints for listening pleasure.

So... These are things that you HAVE, but DON'T want? I think a few people are getting this thread confused with the other one.

What I dont want

Clockwise starting with the record.



1) Utada - It is scratched and I have another copy so this must go.
2) Dell printer toner that a company mailed me instead of the LCD screen I ordered (I received my refund).
3) HP 2133 MiniNote Netbook. I've played the netbook game and this one couldnt satisfy me so I'm selling it. My eee 1000H is much better.
4) iPhone 1st gen. -What can I say its an iPhone. Like decadent candy.. so sweet it makes your teeth rot. I'm gunna buy a WM7 phone next year.

Lets see...

-I few articles of clothing that I always seem to forget to donate so they sit in my closet
- Allergies
- Pretty much constant and incurable back pain at the age of 18 (had it for like 3 years)
- I think Seasonal Affective Disorder (Depression when the days get shorter)
- This really ugly tile in my bathroom- when my parents were building our house the builder said he had left over tile from another home that could be used in my bathroom so my parents said sure... I personally hate it.
- The color of my room (light green)
- Knowing some people
- Pool (PITA to clean)
- Large lawn (PITA to mow)

Old computer peripherals. I seriously have no idea how to discard them.

An impeding LSAT

I got great grades in college, but got only a mediocre bottom quartile LSAT. A few more points would have put me at the halfway point. A buddy of mine started the LSAT cold at 130, like me on first try cold in a practice book, but he took Kaplan, the course, and got a 180 six times in a row.

There's something to say for a professional prep company like Kaplan. Same goes for the bar. You can be a star student in law school but without a great bar prep course like bar-bri, especially in California, you can be dead in the water.

Take Kaplan. There's a method to mastering the LSAT. It's not about logic, it's not about smarts, it's not about previous knowledge, but it's a technique. It's too late for me since I am second trimester, 1L, but if you can do at least 170 on LSAT, your options are open, even with dismal grades in undergrad.

Fair or not, standardized test are the great equalizer in some situations. In a hs class of 200+ students, I scored in the bottom 25% percent with a 2.3 graduating gpa, but I got into a decent school by working the SAT and getting in the top 1% percent in the nation on the more important math section of the SAT test. So if you kill the LSAT, you can get into a law school far above what you think you deserve.

- College text books
- Not running Ford Bronco sitting in the driveway
- Power Mac G3 (I bought 7 of them from a school district, sold a few, too slow for any real computing)
- iPhone cases that have broken due to crappy quality (I never throw my phone around)
