^ And they don't know what they're missing Reading the BSC is a great form of "therapy" and relaxation and builds useful analytical skills (for me at least)

I agree that they are relaxing. When my schoolwork gets intense I like to kick back with the BSC and unwind.

Me too. I have been under a lot of stress because of finals and BSC has been helping me a lot.

Me too, I have a major speech to do this week and I am so scared! I hate public speaking. I guess I am like Mary Anne in that sense!

Good luck, both of you! Just pretend you are Kristy or Abby, msstock I used to be like them and loved performing and speaking in front of groups but I've become a real MA or Mal now. I have a million things to do to get ready to leave, too, but here I am - procrastinating again

Thanks for the good luck! I will need it, this speech is worth two test grades! This board is calming my nerves though.

Good luck, you two!
Some friends were asking me recently why I still read BSC, and I pointed out that not only was there the nostalgia from my childhood, there was the added benefit of knowing this fandom inside-out for the last twenty years. It's not like if I got obsessed with some science fiction show and then would have to sit down and watch every single episode (no offense to those of you who are obsessed with any SF shows). BSC is already hard-wired into my brain, which makes it easier to snark and analyze.
I didn't mention that additionally, I just like them, because these people don't read kids' books and wouldn't understand.

Good luck from me, too!! I agree with what's been said. The BSC is like a form of therapy! After a stressful time, or when you're feeling lonely, you just pull out one of these books (and let's face it, most of us have so many books we have one for every mood ) and it just helps!

I just spent an hour reading The BSC and it calmed me down. My speech is in an hour and I am now on the boards trying to keep me distracted. Thanks for all the good lucks! I really appreciate it

Well, my speech is finally over, and I think I did okay. I was shaking the whole time while I was up there.
I hate these last few weeks of the semester. Although after that speech, the last few finals will be a breeze in comparison.
Tonight I plan on kicking back with a good super special. I am thinking....Aloha babysitters. I can pretend I am in Hawaii with them.
