"You know a lot of people go to college for seven years."
"Yeah, they're called doctors."


Well I just started my final semester, and I was thinking yesterday about the fact that I will have spent 6 years here at college. And I considered that I've been in college for the same length of time that I spent from 7th grade to the end of high school. That really weirds me out. I'm pretty sure that I learned a ton more between 7th and 12th grade, if I absorbed the same amount of knowledge in my years of college as I did in that earlier time period, I'd be a freakin' genius. That's not the case though, oh well. Granted, I took one semester off while I was working in Dallas, plus I switched my major after 3 and a half years, but 6 years is still a crazy long time to be in college.
By the way, the title quote to this post I feel was pretty obvious.

This is not your father's Star Search.

The quailman's blog total for December? That would be three, folks. A tad disappointing, to be sure. Yet quailfans are not disheartened. Here's a recap for those poor readers who may not know. On December 14, Kyle signed off with a truly brilliant blog post. He delighted readers with several points of interests, including a number of "______ of the week" items; he also bragged to those less fortunate that he had witnessed snow twice in four days, and Kyle even introduced a new character to the mix, one "Jonathan Burroughs." Who is this man of mystery? The world may never know. Faithful readers checked in regularly in the following weeks hoping to find out more about this fellow, but no update was to be found. We here at Jukkity were flooded with emails asking us if we could shed some light on the Burrough riddle, but we could sadly provide no answer... After thirty days, Rella made his bold return with the triumphant statement "PROZAC'S APLENTY!!!" (And there was much rejoicing) Kyle called this the "drought of all time" but he is foolish to think that 30 days was his longest hiatus. We believe he is merely kidding himself. This first post of '04 did little to answer the Burrough question. On January 13, the quailman posted "Wishful Thinking" which might be a song or maybe just a poem. But insiders believe that within those lyrics lie clues to the identity of this Jonathan Burroughs chap. Stay tuned...
