Yeah, it sucks. It's why I still have so much stuff to read for this and it's due Tuesday at 9:00 AM. Hello, sleepless nights.

Yeah, get ready for Upper Division courses. You'll get that a lot more, because you'll be expected to get academic, peer-reviewed, scholarly sources, and they are not what you would call light reading.

Oh I get it. Had that problem a few times while researching

That's the problem with research projects. Even topics that are interesting to you are hard to research if your sources are very dense.

Fair enough

Yeah, it's probably a lot more intersting to me than it is to you, and I'm having trouble reading the articles. I need to read them so I can put together a presentation, but they're just so dense.

That was probably a lot more than you expected or wanted to know.

Large flightless birds native primarily to South America during most of the Cenozoic Era, going extinct about 2 million years ago near the beginning of the Pleistocene Epoch. They were the apex predators of South America for nearly 60 million years until the Isthmus of Panama closed allowing animals from North America and South America to mix, increasing competition for resources. This, combined with climate change caused by the coming of the last Ice Age, led to the extinction of the terror birds (formally called Phorusrhacids).

Oh, I misread that you were researching what terror birds do. As in, terror caused by birds. Waht are they?

You're not going to ask what terror birds are?

Good. Get to work.

And I really should get off and get to work on that research project. I still have a lot of reading about terror birds to do.

Very true

That sounds like an oxymoron, but it's true.

And I like being able to come on and not see some knuckleheads arguing on the chat every other day and would prefer it stay that way.

I like being able to type in this mini chat, and would like to keep it that way.
