Nutrition and Astronomy for an accounting major? LOL Gotta love the odd aspects of the US Arts & Sciences education framework.

The sun is in the east
Even though the day is done
Two suns in the sunset, hmph

HA! I saw "Back to School" in the movie theater with my mom. My mom's English was kind of limited at the time so I had to explain a lot of the humor to her.
