the ideal curriculum

There has been some discussion of late on the scholastic experience so this topic is dedicated to education. Specifically, which courses would your ideal curriculum consist of?

Would this be a curriculum for me personally, or a curriculum I think everybody should study in an ideal world?

Yes, but it they offered a course on it, we might understand them sooner!

Yes but what do you want, that is the hard to figure part

We are only too happy to give you what you want, but we don't understand what that is!

(BTW: Did anyone notice my creative use of the 'list' command? I think that's the first time I've ever seen it on these boards!)

You usually have a creative way with words Gwally.

My ideal curriculum would be...

¤Atmospheric Science
¤Meteorology
¤Weather Forecasting
¤Climatology
¤English 101

If ya'll know that the first four things are the exact same stuff... well actually it isn't but it's very close...

You are referring to the loosing 30 pounds part, of course

Some heavy dental surgery does the trick - I don't know how many pounds I lost when I removed my wisdom teeth, they were growing downwards into the jaw-bone. I couldn't open my mouth more than a few millimeters for 2 months. I lived on energy drinks and liquid food substitutes. When I lied on my stomach in bed, I was actually resting on ribcage and hipbones.
