Say what?

In 1993, certain Baltimore schools adopted a semester program much like college. You had four 90 minute classes a semester. This was great for me because it is pretty much responsible for me having the GPA 3.76 I did. The downside was that you had to do so many (I forget the number) hours of community service to graduate. Most people actually did their hours, but if by senior year, you hadn't, they had a special class that somehow equaled the amount of hours of community service you should have done (it ended being fifty-one hundred hours short). It was essentially the equivalent of study hall. This class did not get you a grade to go towards your GPA so I opted to do the actual community service in a library.

What a pointless exercise in wasting time.

Glad to see they are not teaching kids anything important these days.

To all parents out there...

Don't be a lazy ass, home school your children.

You are a violator, Mr. Slowriot.

A VIOLATOR!

Edited for clarification.

Have you ever heard of High John Library? Have you ever heard of a librarian named James Welbourne? This stuff is from '60s/'70s Maryland, so I don't know if librarians in Baltimore would wax nostalgic about some old library while you were working there...

I spent the year taking library classes. I think it's interesting stuff. Feel free to rip on me if that's what it will take to get an answer out of you.

since neu! 75 is apparently out of print (i use amazon.com as my main source) on both cd and vinyl, i'll go ahead and post it here anyway.

even though "que sirhan sirhan" is also out of print, it seems to have been removed. oh well.
