  • To hold that concentration for a long period of time, he lived, as did several of his peers, the thirty-hour day. It was conducive to intense hacking, since you had an extended block of waking hours to get going on a program, and, once you were really rolling, little annoyances like sleep need not bother you. The idea was to burn away for thirty hours, reach total exhaustion, then go home and collapse for twelve hours. An alternative would be to collapse right there in the lab. A minor drawback of this sort of schedule was that it put you at odds with the routines which everyone else in the world used to do things like keep appointments, eat, and go to classes.

    Take 3 minutes and try this…it will freak you out! sum 1 sent this to my friend and they said it came true 10 min later. BUT NO CHEATING! This game has a funny/spooky outcome.

    Don’t read ahead…just do it in order! It takes about three minutes…it’s worth a try
    First..get a pen and paper. When you actually choose names, make sure it’s people you actually know and go with your first instinct.

    Scroll down one line at a time…and don’t read ahead or you’ll ruin it!

    1. First, write the numbers 1 through 11 in a column.

    2. Then, beside numbers 1 and 2, write down any two numbers you want.

    3. Beside the 3 and 7, write down the names of members of the opposite sex.

    NO LOOKING AHEAD…OR IT WON”T TURN OUT RIGHT!

    4. Write anyone’s name (like friends or family….) in the 4th, 5th, and 6th spots.

    5. Write down four song titles in 8,9, 10, and 11.

    GO WITH YOUR INSTINCT PEOPLE!!!!

    6. Finally, make a wish.

    And now the key for the game…..

    1. You must tell (the number in space 2) people about this game.

    2. The person in space 3 is the one that you love.

    3. The person in 7 is one you like but can’t work out.

    4. You care most about the person you put in 4.

    5. The person you name in number 5 is the one who knows you very well.

    6. The person you name in 6 is your lucky star.

    7. The song in 8 is the song that matches with the person in number 3.

    8. The title in 9 is the song for the person in 7.

    9. The tenth space is the song that tells you most about YOUR mind.

    10. and 11 is the song telling you how you feel about life

    NOW…send this to 10 people within the hour you read this…IF you do..your wish will come true. If you don’t it will become the opposite

    Now make one last &final wish about that one wish that you picked.

    After reading this, you have 1 hour to send it out to 15 people, and what
    you wished for will come true within in one week!

    u only get one chance!!!!! Now scroll down and think of your
    crush!!!

    Keep going down

    Keep going

    Keep going

    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Did you think of your crush? I hope so, that was
    your last chance. Now pay very close attention this important message!
    Sorry but once read, must be sent. Yes, this is one of those kinda chain
    letters that everyone hates. This one has been going since 1863 and if you
    break this chain, you will pay!!!!!! Remember that after hearing these
    stories.

    First Example:
    Take Barbra Wallace.. She was a pretty lucky girl,
    up till she got this same chain letter. She had a crush on the same kid
    since kindergarden. when she got this mail she didn’t pay any attention to
    it. She just thought, no big deal. And deleted it. The next day her dad
    got fired and her mom dies in a car crash. If she would have sent the
    letter none of that would have happened and her mom would be alive.

    Second Example:
    Try Freddie D. Now Freddie D. was your average
    nerd. Had glasses, was short and chubby, was in gifted. All the signs of
    your total dork. He also received this letter and sent it to 51 people in
    the hour. Now, like Barbra, he had a crush on a girl since 3rd grade. The
    next day after sending the chain the girl confessed her love for him ever
    since 3rd grade. Freddie D. finally had the courage to ask her out, and of
    course, she had been waiting to yes to that for years. They grew up and
    married each other to live happily forever.

    Third Example:
    Now if you couldn’t relate to the others, this’ll
    get ya hooked. Listen to this. A kid named Jordan Johnson was just
    getting on AOL to check his mail. He was a quiet kid, not that popular but
    not a geek either. he was just normal. He saw he had mail from his
    friend. It was this exact letter. Now Jordan Johnsen was a smart kid and
    he knew what could happen if he didnt pass it on. He simply pulled a few
    friends from his buddy list and sent it along. The next day, about that
    same time, he got a phone call. It said he had won the lottery! then his
    dad came home and bought him a new bike! His mom bought him Nintendo64 and
    play station! His grandmother sent him a new computer, and his best friend
    gave him tickets to the concert he wanted to go to, Kid Rock and Limp
    Bizkit! Then he inherited a brand-new tv from his aunt! He was goin’ wild!
    the next day his secret crush asked him out, and they have been going out
    ever since.

    Now, you heard the stories. I know which person i’d rather
    be, but thats up to you. I wouldn’t wanna end up like Barbra but thats
    only me. We all want what we cant have but now’s ur chance to go out with
    that special somebody ur waiting for. Take it or leave it. If you send
    this to-
    1 person- you will lose all luck in ur love
    life…..forever!!!!!
    10 people- your crush will say they like you as a
    friend……ONLY!!!!!
    15 people- your crush will say they like you
    20 people- your crush will ask you out!
    25 people- your crush will kiss you!!
    35 people or more- All of the above!!
    Don’t blow it, it’s ur chance to shine! Have
    everything u wanted, and more! Now, complaining cus u dont have any
    friends. Well theres an answer 4 everything. It’s simple, just go in a
    chat room, pick some names and send away! but here’s the catch…..you only
