Discovery Science is the first term class. I have a paper to finish tonight.

Here's the funny thing:

I have yet to meet my fellow students. Tomarrow will be the first time we are togeather for a class. It goes from 6:00pm to 10:00pm. In that time we will be covering about two weeks of class time very compressed.

I think I'll just come with a CAT-5 cable, plug one end into the ethernet port in my desk, and put the other in my ear. I don't see how else I'm going to get everything in my head ^_^

The class uses a combanation of online group study and compressed class meetings every monday and thursday. The "First day" was only me shwoing up and getting my books. (The faculty pre-bought them for me) and getting my workbook binder. (90 pages).

Yea, it's cool I'm getting paied $12,000 a year to go to school. But it's really a second job. If I fail, I also owe some people a rather hefty sum of money.

On the flip side. My old school loan payments have officaly stopped, (They are suspended when you go to school) giving me some more money a month to spend on other things.

My first college paycheck will be going to pay off my car.

My second is also sponken for. I'll be going to Japan for new years.

My major is in business for now. That has a high likeliness of changing soon. I'm running out of prereq corses and need to pick a real major. (What I want to do with my life when I grow up) soon.

That's pretty much what's going on.

Oh, and there are 5 girls and 4 guys in my class, including me. I'll have to see if any hotties are there ^_^
 
I was a lab assistant for General Physics labs.
This shouldn't be hard. However you might want to be ready for weirdness.  I remember this east indian professor thought he would be clever and asked us history questions in a test.  It's hard enough to be awake at 8 AM when you got to sleep at 2am let alone know the names of some ubscure scientist.  Actually I got them oddly, Fermi is forever etched in my brain!

This semester I'm taking:

TCP/IP
Web Security & Administration
Network Management Techniques
Creative Writing

The computer classes are fun because were actually doing something in them instead of "this is a mouse" type crap.

I was excited to be back my first day.. Even second day.. Now, I just want to go home .. LoL

Heh, sounds like my school, 6 years and the computer tech (knew as much computers a trained baboon) went over the method to log in to the stupid school program, now in highschool its "double click to open the folder" :roll: , guess I will have to wait to get on to the usefull stuff.... :z

Wow, that sounds really dumb. What class is that exactly to make sure to avoid it if it's an option down here.
 
I can remember at college there were two computer-type courses you could could study. There was computing and IT. IT was basically the idiot's guide to computing and taught you stuff like how to open files and word process... us computing lot used to take the piss outta the IT people alot.
 
Magnet schools.. huh hehehe.

Ahem sorry I just find the idea of high school and education often conflicts ;)

You know the most important thing I learned in college, was how to learn to begin with.

in canada its the "applied" course, I was thing that it never shows up on your reseme, you could easily get all 90's... but you couldnt go to universety so it wouldnt work  -_-
 
:o  I guess. Maybe it's because I'm going to the 16th best high school in the nation... :)  I don't see how you all don't see high school as a learning experience. Very troubling... you're supposed to plan your future in high school! What the hell were you doing then?
 
Highschool is really more preparing you for stuff really. I always thought learning anything above basic applications in math, such as adding, subtraction, division, and multiplication, along with a few other things, were a waste of time (algebra, finding the .0008th degree of a quagasaurus triangle's ump-thousandth corner, stuff like that). I honestly believed anything else was a waste of them, until my last year's math teacher put it in a way that made me understand that no one else explained it:

Highschool is only for getting you ready, to get you famuilar with various things, that way, when you're ready to move up, and actually learn the things you'll need on a certain job, you'll be able to remember going through the steps without having to take weeks to learn it (though I learn things easily, couldn't really connect on that one).
 
Oh well, people learn in different ways. Some think of it as a preperation for the next level and others think of it as an experience. Who cares?!?! As long as you know what I mean. :roll:
 
School just started for me. Same old same old. I got to check out the computer lab I'll be working in for my Visual Basic class. It's pretty nice. Other than that, it's the same old crap  :-?
