I Hated Being Fucking Patient
WARNING: A lot of my observations in the next little while may very well have something to do with school since that is the major part of my life these days.
I can't understand registering for a class with your girlfriend/boyfriend (I still dislike those words). To me the college classroom is a haven for independence and identity. It is a place where you can go in and soak in knowledge to your desire. It is a place where you are safe to have your own opinion, that's right, YOUR own opinion. I just can't get why you'd want to ruin that by purposefully signing up for a class with someone who you are involved with. College education is something, if you are doing it right, that is all about you. It is your mind you are trying to strengthen by going to school. It is your life you are trying to make better. This isn't something you dive in with a companion. Anyone you are "with" is nothing but support.
This all goes double for actually attending a university just because the other is. That's a whole other beast for a whole other entry.
What if you want to date someone you have a class with?
See, that is totally different. You've gone into the class with your independence. You have your identity, and so has that other person. You didn't go into the class to take it with this person, he/she just happens to be there. You are still in that class for the purpose of being in that class, there's just an added bonus. Just be prepared for some awesome awkwardness when things don't exactly work out.
Anyway...

i took a course w/my boyfriend in high school, before I learned that girls are supposed to try and have a sense of mystery to keep the guy interested.
have you ever walked a certain path from one class to another just because you pass someone you're attracted to (even if there is a faster way)?
oh yeah, i also want to know what you think about this...

Brokeback To The Future is Golden. That movie might even be better than Back To The Future III was.
