Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
I just failed a mandatory university class (update: I failed another one as well!))

any number of BAs is never enough, oh ho ho ho ho physics student humour
also I'm in a pretty good position with physics, I'm studying something that I'm a) interested in b) fairly good at and 3) it pays well
zot: lol if you're putting in barely any work with engineering, good luck on not getting completely overwhelmed next year

I am a master of short-sighted decisions
which means that half the people in engineering and probably some other difficult courses are ruled out
so the only people who get to study in another country are basically arts students
it's turning out pretty good
"Kantian and Utilitarian Ethics Systems in Alan Moore's Watchmen"
Well yeah I do kinda resent the fact that I'm missing out on the whole university thing where I get to mingle with other youthful, like-minded people and do awesome stuff and basically just be a uni student, but on the other hand I've already kinda got my foot in the door when it comes to working in the field I enjoy, and I'm saving some pretty mad cash which I'll be able to invest in property and shares or use as capital to fund my own startup business or whatever so... I once again don't know where this post is going.

lord knows I'm pretty tasteless
It depends completely on what field you are in. You might use it. The reason it's called engineering is because none of us hold english degrees and we can't think of another word for builds stuff.
Secondly you're right, I have not actually used any of the calculas I learnt at uni! I've used a bit of statistics but that's about it. It's not about needing to use it though, it's completely about recognising processes so when you see someone using it you know what the fuck they are on about. So while your professors are right that you wont be using it, you sure as shit need to recognise it.
Satans..... hints..... I'm a mo bro!
This is my plan except it involves being so awesome that universities pay me a bunch

How does this plan work
I must know!
1) be awesome
2) do a bunch of classes about stuff I'm interested in
3) continue being awesome while doing #2
4) profit

The good thing is, Logic isn't mandatory for me. I'll just take theoretical and practical philosophy next, which shouldn't be too hard.
By the way, here in Germany, it's pretty much standard to study longer than "recommended" because you can't physically pack all the classes and tutorials in just one week without some of them overlapping.
You're SUPPOSED to only study for about 6 semesters, though. :?
And Disney World is nowhere in sight.
shiiiiiiiiiiiit
Post-it notes?
Midget life coach?
add a year whatever
one of the first things they told us at the start of my degree is that only about half the people in the faculty will actually graduate in 4 years
im not sure if double degree students were included in that but the implication was that heaps of people are gonna fuck up and drop out or just extend it out a bit
but it doesnt make a big difference
and she asked if I had found jesus
and I was like mom no
and she sighed and was like "oh alright"
it can work but if you dont work super hard its a bad idea
even if you work pretty hard its not great because you will have a hard time getting any decent marks
and if you dont work at least a bit harder than you do now you could just fail more shit

No as in I can spread them out a little now
it is some amalgam of overwhelming excitement and crushing terror

I'm looking to focus my research in number theory

It's mostly just that I'm really really bad at pure stuff.

about the closest I can stand (enjoy actually) is cryptanalysis/cryptography, so that's kind of my fallback route if, by some horrible chance, it turns out that I hate research
Taking calc2, organizational leadership and development, speech, psych, and
...

next semester. I am so stoked.
cryptography is really interesting to me, but again, I'm awful at it. I don't get how maths research works to start with, with any science you can at the very least just do what your adviser says.

to be honest you're not missing out on much, especially after the first semester
Man not even
tomorrow may be a different story
and seriously one year is nothing, one uni semester is only twelve weeks and its such an accommodating lifestyle that beats working full time
