For those of you who don't know what my research design class is, its a class where my entire grade stems from the creation of a single research project.

Its more likely that I'll just drop out of grad school once my new Nintendo comes out.

Some other things I noticed in class: When my teacher says phenomenon, all I hear is Manamana.



Also I need to say that after memorizing 1,928 words... the 8th Amendment is a blessing:

I love the 8th amendment.
