The same thing happened to me. I failed out of the biochemistry program at the University of Calgary. I ended up in business at U of Alberta two years later. Shit worked out so keep your head up.
Biochem is a goddamn hard major.
I started there and moved to Microbiology because I knew it would kick my ass SO HARD.
Plus I can still do what I like with my current degree so why go through all that physics/chemistry.

Yea, it is a hard ass program. And it wasn't like a I failed all my classes. I only failed two and still ended up out on my ass. Tough love, I guess. I didn't skip classes. The stuff wasn't just getting through to me.

Most of the teachers I had that didn't have attendance policies, taught classes where the tests were hard as fuck unless you came to class.
This is true.
My problem with some of my upper level courses came when the teacher essentially REQUIRED that everyone in the class see him in after hours teacher/student meetings in order to properly explain the material.
That and my addiction to WoW at the time didn't help. *cough*
and then I think "fuck I am spending so much money on this shit, I better get something out of it" and go
It's like we're soul mates or something
(Compiler Construction in 30 minutes aaaaaaaa )
Ha, I loved that class.
Don't get me wrong, it's one of two classes this semester I actually like (the other being Guitar I--I needed the elective credit and I've wanted to learn an instrument anyway). It's just that by that point in the day I just want to get away from campus, do my workout which I have no idea if it's even working or the right workout or not, and go home and play WoW/sleep
Oh well, at least I graduate in May. B.S. in Comp Sci with a minor in Math, woo

In my tiny Southern Ontario University we use a newfangled contraption called the i-Clicker. It's basically a remote with A, B, C, D, and E printed on it. The teachers use it for class participation and are talking about using it to track attendance.
This could suck for me. I mean, I never go to my scheduled lectures. Today I was my actual Biology lecture for the first time because I was downloading every album by Dream Theater and I didn't want to stop.
I think it's a sign that I've been doing CS homework too long today that at first I thought your title was some kind of perl regexp
I actually know what that means, and yet it still just looks like you sneezed while typing the end of that sentence and hit submit.
Quite possibly that's what happened

Biology lectures are infamous for compulsively pirating music.

Before I came here, I used to post on these boards where everyone happened to fucking love Dream Theater.

I just dropped out of uni the other day. Not because I was doing badly or anything, but because it was sociology.
Sociology.
Now I get to eat free cake and drink free tea every weekday instead, and also serve the occasional customer.
I'm happy enough.
I did sociology after about a month, just because it felt....utterly pointless. I mean, i started off intrested. I wanted to know about the social structures of our culture, but it just.....bored the shit outta me.
Guys, I went away suddenly and failed every class. I'm moving and plan on going to a community college, then transfering. I also plan on just giving them my highschool grades.

To be fair, I'm actually only out of a job because my company got bought out by assholes. I originally got the job pretty quickly.
I don't know how comforting "You'll get bought" really is.

Always.
Some would not care if you only showed up for the midterm and the final. Some would bump your grade down a letter each time you missed.
But it worked out to about $50 each time a class met, so i went.
