I'm still trying to figure out how she is graduating now after taking a semester off.
AP exams would do it. I entered college with enough AP credits (2 semesters US history, 2 semesters English, 1 semester US government, 2 semesters calculus, 2 semesters biology) that I had enough credits to graduate by the end of junior year. This wasn't all that unusual, and would probably be more common from a private school like Chilton (though some private schools now are moving away from AP courses, plenty still have them.)

When I went to PC they wouldn't allow us to graduate early with AP credits, we could get out of taking electives, but you still had to earn 120 credits at the college to graduate from there. I just assumed Yale would be strict about that too.

because she's
Rory
Also, I seem to remember something about her taking an extra load to make up for her semester off.
Unless I missed something, Rory and Paris have only been in college for three seasons.
No, she started college in season 4. This is season 7.
No, her first year at Yale was in season 4. This is her 4th year.
Dale continues to be annoying.
I know. He was so sympathetic for the first episode or two. Now, I keep hoping he'll be a casualty. I prefer
Skylar
to him, and I couldn't stand her at first.
And Super!Skeet cracked under the fear of his brother being tortured.
I know! I was sort of surprised by that whole plotline. I thought the Fake Marine Woman was playing him, and I thought Skeet knew it, and was going to manage to play her, somehow. Hmmmm. I guess I was surprised that there was no surprise.
Also, still no Heather. (Or Heather - still dead.)
On one hand, I'm a little more hopeful for the return of Heather this week, because Jake mentioned the
Others New Bernites lie, and Eric did not come back with anything like, "I saw her corpse." On the other hand, I feel it's possible that Fake Marine Woman could be the new "spoiler" between Jake and Emily -- and that Heather might really be dead. I'm much rather have Heather. Let's kill Emily, Fake Marine Woman and Dale with one of those mortars.
At least we did get an extra dose of bad-ass Hawkins,
Yes! That was cool. I kind of like that Ted chickened out, too. I was disappointed for a second, but then I decided it was better to have some people react like that. I don't think I could shoot someone who wasn't directly trying to shoot me, and even then...
I am beginning to wonder about the apparently infinite amount of gunpowder and ammunition. Where the hell did they get the explosive for all those mortars?
It's funny you asked that Ginger, because last night, Scott said the same thing. I joked that they have a gun powder mine in New Bern, but I was totally intending to ask you about gun powder today -- like what it contains, etc. Is it sulphur? Is sulphur mined? Do they have it in Kansas?
I was thinking about the munitions question while I was watching Jericho (Where the hell is Heather?) and I would accept the gloss that New Bern had a National Guard armory or something. I'm disappointed that they're heading for warfare rather than the building a society that works under these circumstances story that I wanted them to tell, so I'm not caring very much.
Having not seen anything else under discussion, yet, I will shut my eyes and flee.
So, I guess they are wasting all their electricity running blast furnaces to make the shells for the mortars?
Sometime last night, I decided that what Jericho is REALLY about is NOT what an actual post-nuclear apocalypse would be but it's an opportunity to put modern Americans in the frontier and how would people fare w/o the stuff that they're used to.
Oh, and the Morse code this week was "We pledge."
I don't get how that or the episode title (One if by land) ties into what we saw.
