Random Raves : Tank Goodness

[Gori the Grey]

Bon voyage.

(I'd say it in German, if I knew the German.)

(And if the French weren't the favored way, in English, of offering that well-wishing.)

 

[JohannaK]

Good luck!

Rave: just flew to DC, now flying to Zürich and thence to Germany.

Oooh! Scary!

Culture shock coming up.

But seriously: have a lovely time!

awesome! all i have is a major+minor.

Chemical engineering and what else?

Thanks for reminding me, I still need to get mine sorted out.

I'm going to cut out political science and just do history and international relations as my two majors. Though if I really wanted to apparently I can do a couple summer classes and squeeze poly-sci as a third major. Not sure if it's worth it though.[/QUOTE]

At my school there are bridge majors for international studies, which allow you to take the cores and a mixture of upper levels from IS and either history, political science, or economics. Seems like the sort of thing that'd be good for you... if you were a total wimp. Two majors is the way to go. A friend of mine is doing an English and Classics double major with a French minor (something something two and a half unemployment checks every month. Hey-o!), so maybe you could still minor in polisci, if that's a thing that interests you and you're close to being able to major.

Gute Reise

Gute Reise

(And if the French weren't (deservedly, I can now say) the favored way, in English, of offering that well-wishing.)

What does this even mean?

 

[Borachio]

I supposed it meant he found Gute Reise a bit ugly as an expression. I'm not sure why. But a lot of people favour French, for some reason.

Mostly out of tradition/habit, I would assume.

To be honest the more classes I take on international relations and political science the more I realize I love history

If I got a minor in political science, or a third major, it would be purely for bragging rights or something stupid like that.

Regardless, double major bros unite!

Yo, I'm a history/international studies double major too! My school's system for IS is also similar, most of my IS classes were Anthro (though it's partly because I'm interested in antro, it's also because my backup plan was that if the IS major didn't work out I can fall back on Anthro easily)

Well we share more of vocabulary with the French even though we are a Germanic language. :crazyeyes:

 

[Arakhor]

And that's part of the legacy of the Norman Conquest.

That's a big accomplishment. Amazing that you've stuck with us crazy ones for so long.

Well, I did start out in the Civ forums (someone at an RPG forum recommended CFC for information about Civ II - back around January or so of 2005). I lurked here and there, posted a bit in Civs II, III, and IV, and eventually noticed the Colosseum. I still read the ToT threads and post occasionally there, but OT and A&E are my main haunts, along with a couple of the social groups.

And yeah, ten years seems like ages. Aside from Yahoo!, it's the site I've stuck with the longest since I've been online. Only a couple of gaming forums and a Doctor Who forum come close, and my tenth anniversaries of those places will either be later this year, or next year.

If nothing else, my legacy to CFC will be the :mad santa: smiley.

At first, I was gonna say you're like an elder of CFC. Then I realized I joined a year later than you.

It has been a long time. :|

Seeing all those folks come and go. How the times have changed! I still vaguely remember the wild frontier days with Fifty and all.
