That makes people unable to control the volume of their voice?

I think I have a cold or something coming on, but otherwise, I'm good. The semester finishes in a couple weeks and then I'm free for a few months, so that should be fun.

12. I'm a political science major. |

This semester specifically I'm doing political theory, international relations, 20th century history, sexual behaviour (a course, not the actual behaviour...dammit x(), and supernatural folklore.

15. Next year, technically. |
|
But I'll have to do an extra semester to make up for some dropped courses from my first year. Only an extra couple of months though, so no big deal.

16. It took me 5 1/2 years to finish |
|
I was a slacker! :)
Actually, my first ever semester at college was a total bomb so I left that school and transferred late to another school so at the new school I only went part time for two semesters.
But it all worked out in the end.

the school I went to-----
it was rare that someone finished in four years. I went to a big commuter school. Lots of older folks, taking night classes. But I love my college. Lots of cool, young folks too!

We all know the southern dialect is just a code used by the elusive Southern Herkistanian Alliance to deflect us from knowing the truth of their mission. :scared:

19. It isn't televised sports - it's the sport itself. |
|
People are loud when at the games in person also.
It's the excitement factor, of course. When people get happily excited about something, the volume tends to go up.

20. True. Though they usually yell when they're angry, not happy. |
|
Lousy sports. Gets annoying when I'm trying to watch something here in my room and I can't hear dialogue over my roommates shouting at the teevee.

21. Yeah - negative excitement can cause volume elevation too. |
|
People who are passionate about their teams will always find reason to yell.
