I have to read an article but it's a boring [Post-Secondary Education] thread

High school! Once the standard of the American worker's academic life, it has now whittled away to nothing. So let's not talk about it.
CEGEP, Or College of Education of the General Et Professional sort), is a system of post-secondary but pre-University schooling that you get in Quebec, because we rock that way. Wanna get into the trades? 3 years of a Technical Program and you're on the workforce! Wanna go to University? 2 years of a Diploma of College Studies, which covers what would be covered in other, lesser, education systems in the last year of high school and the first year of University, and you can go to University! And our CEGEPs, being state-funded, are supposed to be f'ckin cheap! I could pay a whole two year's worth of tuition with a month's wages! Granted, this was in 2006-2008, so maybe the times have changed, but if they have, let us not give up the fight for a affordable post-secondary education!
The University, meanwhile, is what people usually think of when they think Post-Secondary Education. It's where children become adults, except in America, McGill, and the Rest of Canada, because apparently your tuition covers room, board and meals? What the heck, doing groceries is like, a modern adult's rite of passage! No wonder you're floundering. Anyway, it's a lot like high school, except people are more mature, unlike the classes, whose professors are constantly seeding with immature concepts in order to entice future grad students to slave do research under them! Yay research! Je sers la science et c'est ma joie!
So, discuss your PosT-Secondary eDucation experiences here. Are you in school right now? Grad school? Me, I've been in undergrad for nine f'ckin years due to a mental mishap that occurred in my last year of CEGEP. (Long story short, don't listen to gurus.) This semester, I'm taking two classes; for one, I have to read A.M. Turing's famous "Turing Test" article ("Computing machinery and intelligence") and the author comes off very... 1950s. Nevertheless, I persisted and read it all. Which left me with time to write and post this thread!

I'm done with taking classes for a while after that.
what i really need is a custom study calendar written out for me, but i'm still trying to figure out exactly how much i need to re-learn in algebra and geometry for the test. and i enjoy getting the math skills regardless, but with ADHD and pandemic brain, it's haphazard and intermittent; I'll need to focus up when the time comes. and giving myself leeway, means in about two months.
...i suppose it depends on what country I'm in at that point...
