I'M TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL

<3<3 Registered User regular
edited February 2010 in Social Entropy++
The new school thread.

I just got an email from a faculty at UCSC saying that I will most likely be admitted (with funding!). And there are a couple of get-to-know-you questions.

I'm very excited!

Talk about university admission here.

    I missed my second class today because I felt like I was going to die.

    Not bad for the second week of school.

    I'll probably change my minor to (management-) psychology because philosophy is pretty meh. They also spam my mailbox with useless shit I don't care about.

    I would like to pause for a moment, to talk about my penis.
    My penis is like a toddler. A toddler—who is a perfectly normal size for his age—on a long road trip to what he thinks is Disney World. My penis is excited because he hasn’t been to Disney World in a long, long time, but remembers a time when he used to go every day. So now the penis toddler is constantly fidgeting, whining “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? How about now? Now? How about... now?”
    And Disney World is nowhere in sight.

    I started classes today

    about to go to college algebra, which is either going to be really boring or really hard

    seeing as how i haven't had a math class in about 4 years, im betting on the latter

    college algebra == sophomore year of high school algebra 2

    therefore, it will be easy.

    My Arabic teacher this quarter is a stern 6'6'' Moroccan dude with like a 7 inch beard.

    He is scary as shit but holy crap he is such a good teacher, and incredibly patient.

    I love my advisor. Every time I have a meeting with him I'm like YES! I have a goal now!

    Enjoy "college algebra" and don't freak out just because it's math. It's math you probably know already.

    My chinese teacher in college was the opposite of this. And every day she would make fun of me in front of the class. :(

    I'm sitting in class right now.

    I've been slacking on some papers that my supervisor is pushing me to write and I feel terrible about it, so my concession was that I was going to work on them while not paying attention in my supervisor's class.

    Which is not working out, obviously!

    I'm going to University in 80 minutes. The drive will take about 2 hours today thanks partly due to the fact that my office is on the other end of town and partly due to the fact that the town is in the middle of a blizzard.

    Also I was away for a week and turns out missing a week of University classes is not like missing a week of high school classes. I had my nose in books for 3 days straight when I got back. Coming up for air only now because I had to work.

    Everyday of school I take just reminds me how I will never get a job doing anything remotely close to what I want.

    Seriously if you are thinking of doing something in the Humanities just don't do it and switch your major to some kind of engineering.

    I made a 100% on all my quizzes today. Either I'm going to get burnt out on this over-achiever approach I'm taking this semester, or I'm going to be awesome and set for transferring in the fall. Nobody knows the outcome.... get excited!

    turns out I think a 5 1/8 x 33 glulam girder (with splicing of course) is sufficient to span 80 feet and support 24 feet of decking

    when it is probably closer to, like, a 6 and some odd x 37

    I didn't think Heart was a Teenager, save for a few times when I have seen him be absurd. Perhaps he is just playing the crowd.
