The reason Bush and Cheney did not shout it out was that Republicans made them and sold them to bad guys.
Yeah, I remember hearing about that. Evidently most Republican offices on Capitol Hill had hidden chemical weapon factories in closets, and the Republican senators and representatives spent long hours personally manufacturing these weapons and having staffers sell them on street corners to anyone wearing a name tag which said "Bad Guy". The only way anyone found out was when visitors touring the Hill were affected by a leak of "Grey Poop-on-you" Mustard Gas emanating from the office of the ranking Republican.
I can't believe this news story was so quickly hushed by the current Democrat-led administration, considering their incredible record for transparency with the press. It's unlike them to hide things the way Bush and company did.
I approve of this decision. Someone finally thought of the children; just think how many lives were saved! Science is dangerous, and definitely has no place in our schools. Clearly, the children that built these have some severe mental problems, and all right-thinking people know their parents must be fat, conservative tea-baggers. The kind of violence exhibited by these devices cannot be tolerated. This is exactly why children should not be allowed to think for themselves in school; they are too unpredictable.
I'm glad we were able to stop these domestic terrorists before they killed anyone.
If the parents that do this to their kids use the "schools aren't safe", "schools aren't teaching what I think they should be", or "schools are failing our children" excuses should *get involved* in their local school, and encourage all other parents to do the same. If their schools really are falling behind in some way, it's *THE PARENTS FAULT* for not being involved.
I don't buy it. I went through public school in one of the wealthiest counties in the US, and saw the problems first-hand. If I have a problem with the school system, it's way easier for me to pull my kid out and educate him/her at home, or at a private school, than leave him/her in the school that isn't properly educating. It is not my responsibility as a parent to fix the schools. My responsibility is to my children. If the school isn't providing the level of education I deem my children need, I'll go elsewhere and they can keep catering to the lowest common denominator. If you follow good curriculum, you can get at least the same level of education at home as you can in public school.
"They also rolled out a new version of the browser, 7.0.2, which fixed the issue."
The word "fix" makes it sound like it was an unintentional error. The problem wasn't that the browser "accidentally" sent the data. The problem was that the company thought this would be okay in the first place. The real "fix" needed is ridding the company of the people who thought this was a good idea.
IANAFP, but I've done a lot of reading about stuff like this. Also, I'm assuming you don't have any outstanding consumer debt like credit card debt or anything like that. That should all be paid off first.
My advice would be to use Investment Laddering with something like CDs or short term bond funds. You'll have a little protection in case the market goes bad, and much better interest rates than a savings account. CDs and bonds would probably be better for you than stocks since you want to be sure you have money when you graduate.;-) Investing by lending (CDs and bonds) is generally much safer than investing by owning.
Anyway, an investment ladder will be something you can keep implementing even after you graduate, and depending on how you set it up, you'll always have an investment maturing every 6 months or so. If you don't need the money, reinvest it again.
I had several in college when I was working on my undergrad engineering degree, and not always around exam time. Like you, I enjoyed the subject and I was excelling in the class. Turns out I just don't deal with stress well. People make jokes about it on here, but it's not something to be ashamed of. (Their narcissism must protect them from actually having to deal with real emotion.)
This isn't something you can just "turn off" by trying really hard. Some people have suggested you see a physician. That may not be a bad idea. There are several physical things that can cause this and a doctor can help examine those.
What I found worked best for me was trying to keep a sense of perspective. It felt like everything in my future was riding on how I did in school. Anyway, what worked best for me was keeping a healthy sense of perspective (life goes on even if you have panic attacks about exams) and to make sure I had at least an hour each day I could spend doing something non-school related (reading a book I wanted to read, star-gazing, playing Half-life, etc...) These times helped me to disengage my brain for a bit so I was no longer trying to do but was instead just trying to be.
Best of luck to you. I applaud your openess in bringing your question to this caustic and cynical crowd.

Violence in current videogames? A South Carolina man was able to foil an attempted carjacking using methods learned from Grand Theft Auto. I think both sides of the "violent games" story need to be told!
The bits on Linus's hard drive just happened to come together JUST RIGHT after billions of years to form Linux. Anyone who believes different than me is, by definition, close minded.

...because then the senator would be accused of being anti-jobs and anti-science. You know, because he's a Republican and that's the way they all are.
What's so different about Valenzuela...
The difference is that Valenzuela is dead.

Actually, as long as the baby is either a boy or a girl, I'll be happy...
