The DS fan in me salutes you.      
  But the teacher in me wants to thrash you.

The teacher in me cannot comment since I keep sneaking over here in between grading final papers.

Oh, I'm sure I'll get quite the thrashing when my prof reads my paper.  Every term, I tell myself I won't wait until the last minute, and every term I wait until the last minute.  For that reason, and many others, I'm quite thrilled that next term is my last!

Some of us do our best work under pressure.  I never once completed a college assignment before the last possible moment.

It was hell on the nervous system.....but I can honestly say, it never hurt my grades.

I've been wondering if I'd ever get to see it.  I'm watching Earthsea (that I posted about a few weeks ago) and a Borders commercial came on!!  I made sure to watch carefully and recognized her, but certainly would never have noticed it without this.  I hope they put the same commecials on each showing.  I taped the 9 o'clock and I'm watching the 11.  If they have the same commercials, I've got it on tape to go back and check!!

I have to confess that, if I had a good idea of what I wanted to do and/or knew I could complete it quickly, I often waited until just before something was due to do it, too - but with me it was usually about 24 hours before. Cutting it down to just three hours before is way, Way, WAY too much hell on the nervous system! 

but I can honestly say, it never hurt my grades.  

But unless you're preternaturally brilliant and always received grades of A+ or 100 in all of your classes, just imagine how much better your grades might have been had you put greater effort into it and begun work earlier than you did. 


But getting back to the real subject of this topic, I have yet to see this Borders ad. I guess I just don't watch the right channels.

I've seen it on both E! and MSNBC, but I realize you probably don't watch that channel because of the MS part.

Actually, I don't watch either of them, so that might explain it.

I hope you got your paper done, and congratulations on finishing your program.

I am in a state of sheer panic.  I have until Thursday 5 p.m., less than 48 hours, to complete a 40-hour independent project that I've put about 10 hours into over the past six months.  So that's about 30 hours of work.

My apologies to anyone who I would normally send a personal holiday greeting to.

If I survive, I'll be back on the forum next year.

Have seen the Borders commercial a couple more times but still haven't glimpsed the FIRST fleeting moment of KLS that someone mentioned.

First of all, good luck with completing your project, Vlad!!

I don't think that earlier glimpse is KLS.  When we do see her, she's at the left side of the screen and the person who is talking is across from her.  The earlier instance has the person who was talking and there is a little bit showing of someone next to that person.  The tiny bit I saw, I don't think looked like KLS, plus, from the positioning, I assume it's someone else and that she would still be across the table.
