To be exact, we can choose the type or PE (PE on university???!!!) and than we could chose from some social classes. I chose psychology and sociology... Half of the psychology was horribly boring, but sociology was better. We should discus there, but only I discussed with him :-) and maybe few other persons... But these were only two from about 30...

If that should happen, then don't be in a relationship with THE one's friend instead for 6 years... ;) Of course, that never happened to me, but to my friend's brother's cousin' uncle...

That's why i'm great in boiling an egg i guess. Cook them for 9 minutes mostly (don't like the running yellow stuff). Still, i do have regrets sometimes about not attending university. But that's more regrets about the fun that i've missed out on than on the stuff i would have learned there. Guess i'm more of the "practical" kind. Or just lazy... Well, that ain't true either, cause learning stuff is cool. But it has to be stuff that you're personally interested in. For me that is. Since i never attended university i cannot say anything about that, but i do remember from the schools i did attend, that i spend most of my time drawing and listen to my walkman with one ear then paying attention to the teacher. So i actually learned how to draw action figures and listen music while i'm at it. Ain't that a skill? Never went to university… That’s why i’m great in boiling an egg i guess.

Stuff I've learnt includes, no one enjoys a PhD (at least not a biology one); gotta keep building new relationships to make up for the old ones that drift away; Neitzsche has a lot to answer for, so does Darwin; most people don't know what molecular biology is, yet they still ask what my thesis is about; graphic and web design is more fun than science. Stuff you didn't learn: it takes 3 minutes (or slightly longer) to soft boil an egg (cooked whites, runny yolk), but the key is that the egg needs to be room temp or warmer and then straight into the boiling water - if you put a cold egg in boiling water the shell cracks, if you put it in warm water and heat it up you don't know how long it's really been cooking for. Credit cards: avoid having one, then when you get one don't spend more than the money that you actually have or know you'll get in the next couple of days, they should be for convenience, not necessity; also - interest free period. Great post. Loved it :) Still at uni…
