I'm very sensitive when it comes to love stories...such as Romeo and Juliet. 

A lot of freshmen read that book in my school. I didn't since my level of English in 9th grade didn't cover that book.

I actually had a unit of Shakespear for just over a month freshman year and we read out loud Romeo and Juliet. Conincidentally, I am doing YET another Shakespear unit sophomore year, rite now (we just started it Wednesday) 

Why is it that we always have to rush into a new unit? We had just finished poetry on Tuesday, and I really would like a break from all this schoolwork

Nice idea to start this topic 

I have Norton 360 which, as of late, I believe is working properly.

OMG! This is HUGE news! I am dissappointed about this, but oh well. I find it virtually impossible to believe that Brian was laid off. If so, will someone replace him? If not, how will it all work?

So far no new playlist yet 

I see that. Don't worry, it will transition eventually.
Remember this:
In November 2008, the October playlist continued for the first two days of the month, and on the 3rd and 4th, November songs were intermingled with the October songs until it finally transitioned over to the November playlist.

In January 2009, the playlist did not change from December to January songs until the first Monday of the month, January 6th.

So be patient, it will happen over the next 24-48 hours. 
...or wait a couple weeks, since something appears to be happening at TWC

I hate April Fools day when your teacher decides to say you dont have a quiz or test today, thne SURPRISE! APRIL FOOLS! You have a test today! That happened to me in math today  my Bio teacher better not do the same thing later... 

My economics teacher did this to me today. He typed on the smartboard (well, on the computer which then shows on the smartboard):
1)Review Warm-Up: No Warm Up
2)(I forgot #2)
3)No test today.

I actually believed #3! 
We had the test, and it went okay

The good news is that the river levels are still falling despite the snow.  The Red River in Fargo, ND is now below 38' and will continue to drop.  Things will slowly get better there.

Always good news.  I wish them only the best of luck in recovery

Well, I am worried about this virus. I just got several malignant viruses on this computer which I bought brand new in August 2007. I got them some time in January and had to have the computer reformatted (fortunately, I had everything backed up!). I later had Norton 360 and Norton Ghost (software that backs up files) installed, so I am ready for anything that comes my way. However, since the last virus I had came in and disabled my security software (at the time earlier this year it was McAfee), I am not 100% confident that I am safely hiding.

I'll try to keep this off as much as I can tomorrow. Why exactly do people waste their time making viruses?

I am not really sure exactly why. Some do it because they have too much time on their hands, and some just don't have lives, so they ruin other peoples' lives. Again, I do not know for sure, but it seems to me like there is a psychological aspect to it.

The public school system pisses me off more and more each day.

Agreed. I cannot stand the stupid decisions that public schools make thinking it'll improve our education, which it does not. It just makes things worse and students less motivated to learn and we tend to slack more.

I don't have it THAT bad at school, but Michigan Education requrements are just getting stricter and stricter. I happen to be in the first class (Class of 2011) that has to take 4 years of math, 4 years of English, 3 years of science, 3 years of Social Studies, and I forgot the other requirements. I do agree that stricter standards and poor teaching habits along with rules and regulations make some want to slack off a bit. I admit to having that problem too.

Tomorrow's the last day of March, yay. I don't know if April will be any better, that month gives me mixed feelings.

I sure hope it will be better. I am not too crazy about March's playlist, and I am hoping for at least a song or two from my wanted list to be on the April playlist. I am hoping the most for Breathe In, or at least one of the Moby songs I have on there too. I am not too crazy of Brian's job as LF Music Coordinator.

If someone asks me what music I listen to, I just say I pretty much listen to anything.

Yeah, I do the same thing. I am embarrassed to tell people at school that I listen to TWC Local Forecast Music.

I hate being isolated from all the interestng weather, which always seems to be the case. 

I Always feel the same way in summer  the most we get is a severe t-storm every now and then
IT MAKES ME ANGRY!! 

I'll bet you have the same problem I do. I live inside the Great Lakes, which moderates my weather. Severe weather is not as prevalent here as it is in the Great Plains, and we are protected from extreme heat and severe cold snaps. Every now and then though, there is a change in pace...

Dang, you all are so lucky. It's been nothing but clear skies here. :/

While I did get some snow this evening, I still got the short end of the stick when I comes to the weather over the past week. So I feel your pain. I hate being isolated from all the interestng weather, which always seems to be the case.
