The Revalation of a Social Hierarchy and the Advent of the Organised Military changed that much... Scientists were looking for better ways to fight and the soldiers were putting them into action... Alexander the Great (one of the best tactical minds the world has seen) received a full customary Greek education... his conquests were in a large part do to his want for knowledge...

[UPDATE]

So I'm sitting around in the dorms. I love it, the dorms are like palaces (compared to other colleges). Lots of cool people. My roommate has brought an Xbox with Live capability and a ton of games, so, uh, I'm praying I won't get distracted. Well, I know I'm going to get distracted, so never mind that. Checked my connection speed, and I'm downloading at about 2.5 mbps, a big improvement over my old DSL. Plus I'm close to Exo, which rules

Still haven't unpacked completely, but the point is that I'm safe and in good health. Well, being in college, I'm not in safe, and I'm sure I won't be in good health for long...

Indeed. We've got to meet at Quiznos sometime. It's in the 'village', which is within walking distance of your dorm and my school.

Get this. The course im taking for college (tourism and hospitailty) will require me to drink at school. Im gonna have to learn about wines and shit. Im gonna be one of those snotty people who sticks his nose into wine glasses and sniffs for flavour and shit like that.

Also on the plus side I have to be 19 to take this course. So I get a year off to do nothing!!!!!

go out on thursday night, friday night, saturday night, and use sunday to revive yourself and regrow zapped brain cells.

and never pass up sex.
ever.

the most satisfying feeling in the world is the feeling of a girl sliding her hand beneath your waistline. cuz then it's just smile, cuz it's playtime.

and when it comes to studying: do it in groups. why? because you'll actually learn more that way AND you meet more girls that way.

And when the professor assigns reading, read. That's usually the only way you'll know what the fuck is going to be on your exams.

Also, never underestimate the value of asskissing. I've had many a B saddled up to an A, this past summer I had an F saddled up to a D

Here's my tip to get the asskissing rolling:

Skip a class about two weeks into the course. The night before you do it, send your professor an email that says, "Dear Professor SoAndSo, I am writing to let you know that I will not be in class tomorrow. I have a personal matter to attend to, and just wanted to send you a brief note to tell you that I will be in class on (the next class period), fully prepared with any work I may have missed."

THat'll get the ball rolling, your professor will know your name. Also, ask questions after class about shit you talked about during a lecture. "Professor, I was wondering what the omega represented in this equation for the Earth's vorticity?". Not like it matters, but they'll think you're all interested and shit.

Good luck!
