Somebody born the year I left school has absolutely NO RIGHT being old enough for University! You should still be toddling around and leaving dirty marks on your mother's freshly cleaned tables.

I rest my case.

I am only first year if it makes you feel any better.....

And my mom's table is usually piled so high with marking that I couldn't make it worse if I tried....

Which just proves that it's not how old you are that counts, it's how old you act.

I'm Ptolemy, or sometimes Phil (usually when I'm in deep trouble, which is often), and I own far more LP records than I do books. Of the books however, by far the largest subset are green (crime fiction) Penguins, of which I have around 500. Oh, and I was born in 1958, which makes me pretty much as old as the hills.

I'm megs, an Aussie who occasionally posts here. I was born in 1988 which definitely makes me a youngster. Oh and I'm a [mumble] first year uni student [/mumble]. The only magazine I suscribe to is The Chemical Engineer *sigh*.

Wow, I thought I was the youngster on this site, I'm a whole 2 years older than some people (1986). Go me. I feel it necessary to add to my post, *mumble*I'm a student*mumble* just to conform to everyone else who's in college. Btw, finals are awful.

Music ed major! Yay for end of year juries!

The music finals aren't bad, it's my other tests (like math *gasp*) that I resist studying for. Ah, the fforum, my anti-drug.

Ick. Just had two tests today…and one was Operating Systems. I wanted to curl up in a little hole and cry afterward. (Well, okay, it wasn't THAT bad, but still…)

I'm David. I collect rock instrumentals and read incessantly. And if all the details of phorum members are correct I think I must be the oldest (1944).
