On another note, Conan O'Brien is my hero. He gives great advice too. I only took his advice more fully the last year of college than all my other years in school.
P.S. - Here's how I can connect the dots one little way to graduation. I was addicted to Peggle earlier this year after being introduced to it from hanging out at Paul Louthan, and Nate and Matt Jorgenson's place. I was skipping out on my Stats 221 class because as soon as I would wake up, I would play Peggle. It then became apparent I wasn't going to pass Stats so I dedicated my final exam to Conan O'Brien. In the testing center, I was feverishly filling in dots not even opening my test packet. One can only wonder what the freshman sitting next to me was thinking.
My final exam score: 4% My final Peggle score: 21,713,800
Not suprisingly I got an E in the class. So I take it again Spring Semester, hire a wonderful tutor to help me through the wretched course and I amazingly got a C-. I thought I was going to fail again, Hayley worked a miracle...really. I passed the class, I graduate with a minor in business management, and I become a Peggle Grand Master. Yeah for me!

All those hours of peggle together and I didn't even get a shout out. That was our first and last thing we ever did together.
Oh Sam, I had no idea I helped contribute to that. But I must say, I did laugh quite a bit. You will always be my Peggle Sensei.
Although, it is unfortunate that you did not pass Statistics the first time, I am extremely glad to hear that you passed it the second time around and became a Grand Peggle Master at the same time! Your scores certainly merit that honor and we'd definitely like to thank you for blogging about us! I'd love to send you a copy of Peggle Nights and try to become a Grand Master in the sequel! Let me know what you think!
Thanks again,
