Ok dudes, from what Ive seen around here, a large portion of the people here are in some form of schooling. And I know around here in NC most people have just started their Spring semester. So I figured a thread to discuss, complain, or brag about our new classes would be in order!
As for me, this is my first quarter at the Art Institute of Charlotte for Culinary Arts! I'm loving it so far. I don't think Ive ever woken up and thought "Oh man, I get to go to class today!" I really wish I had made this switch to culinary much sooner. I was in mechanical engineering before, bit of a 180.
Anyway, so far we've made some stocks and all five of the mother sauces, plus a couple extra. I haven't managed to botch anything too badly yet, though I did set my side towel on fire.... but thats beside the point! Next week we get to start making foods rather than parts of food. And that means we get to eat!
I've also got public speaking and a sanitation class. Not as fun, but combined they only total 7hrs a week, where the kitchen lab is 15hrs a week. So it's not so bad, and the sanitation class is probably the most important class I have, that one gets me the ServSafe certification, which Ill need to take any more lab classes, and most employers require it, so yeah.
Well thats enough of me bragging bout my classes, what about you homps? What classes are you taking? Which ones do you hate? Which ones do you love? Which of you are almost done?

I am enjoying my C++ programming class and my game design class.
Game Engine Implementation is "okay" I guess.
Math = suck it.
Sociology = okay.
English = okay.
I have not been accepted to any college yet, and I have been rejected from one
I applied to no safety schools
I have really high test scores and a mediocre gpa
I sure do hope I get in somewhere
I want to either be a film director (hard), writer (not nearly as hard), or some practical application of sociology.
I am so happy for you that you are happy at school.

I might take a class or two in my spare time (ahahahahha, what's that) someday.
I am beginning to really regret not "applying myself," as they say
but on the other hand, if I do get into my first choice school, I'll feel fantastic and lucky as hell
but everyone else seems ok
STEAM!
However, most of the rest, especially those courses I wasn't really interested in but I had to take due to degree requirements (*Cough* Psychology and Linguistics *cough*) were somewhat boring for me. Eventually I put Civ 4 on my laptop, sat in the back and just played through the boring parts.
Surprisingly enough, I got a 3.65 GPA upon graduating so I did something right. Just have no idea what the hell that was.
where did you guys apply?
Yeah?
Well fuck you too!

these would be safety schools to most of my friends, but I have no idea whether I'll get in to any
Every time I see you I think of a blood-covered, blood-manipulating exoskeleton.
Boy does time fly.
::sigh::
I hear Pony is gonna get back to workin on it soon if he hasn't already.

now just 22,000 words and 5 months to go
... for some reason.
Whitman's a great school! I feel like I could have been happy there but I was dead set on east coast schools when I was applying. I visited briefly when my family dropped my brother off. He had an obscene scholarship, but due to his obsession with his first girlfriend he dropped out after two weeks and lived in a friend's basement until he could move in with her and live the glamorous life of a telemarketer. But I'm sure you have more common sense than my brother.
good luck with college stuff, it's an exciting and stressful time.
Naw, son. Just isn't going to happen. Sucks too.
Lot of people were looking forward to it.
Alternatively: WHAT BITCH WHACHOO GON' DO?
Someone on vent was talking about something related to it, and I was looking over these posts yesterday and it brought back so many wonderful memories, especially the PDF thing I made.
Thanks for the kind word. It's especially nice to hear that other people share my opinion of Whitman.
all i can say is
at least its not aerospace engineering
also cos i started an arts degree after a year and failed a few subjests i gotta do 6 years
i have done 3 so im in this halfway zone where nothings gonna happen for a while and im too much into it to consider other options
which i sorta did for the first year or 2 because i wasnt liking it so much, but now i think its alrite which is much better
also 4 months holiday is too fucking long
i just completely switch off and cant be fucked doing anything
i mean shit i just got to japan a few days ago but after like 2 months holiday so im still all `fuck doin anything i just wanna sleep all day and then sit around fondling my sack and wasting time on internet`
Maybe you could buy a machine in Japan to fondle your sack for you, and a machine to waste time on the internet for you, I'm sure they have those, and then you could do stuff
maybe just gotta meet some people and go drink
i mean shit that was the plan
these people being girls
oh but i did meet up with this one girl i had met before
dinner at her parents house and saw some local festival i wouldnt have known about otherwise which was pretty cool
nice family too but looking forward to meeting up again later and goin drinkin with her (hopefully female) friends
unless she wants to suck my balls her own self i guess i could be happy with that
dont even hafta use bittorrent its just streaming
fucking awesome
i should point out that they dont really show the wire or sell the dvds in australia
unless its on cable which i dont have and most people dont
which is a shame cos its a fucking awesome show
actually first time i saw it was on normal tv but at like 2am or something, and on no fixed schedule
so i hardly paid attention to it until i read on these forums that it was good
and fucking shit it is fantastic
may as well start wearing suit now and start carrying around whatever economics newspaper you can find in your area
just so no one confuses you for someone with a personality
jokes
actually my brother did some finance degree
and then some other degree because he didnt wanna work in finance
recently he got a job in accounts at some logistics company
i think he hates it
pretty much any international student in australia
especially if they are from china
they do accounting
seems like whenever i meet a hot chinese girl or just a basic chinese girl they are pretty much guaranteed to be in accounting
shit maybe ill look into taking some of those classes
I don't really know what I want to do with my education. I was in Arts and Science and despite liking science I have never done exceptionally well in them, at least in High School. As for the arts, I kind of wanted something more concrete and analytical.
So hopefully business works out. It is a good business school and of course they flaunt the success stories. A family friend of mine graduated from here with a financing degree and is doing real well and seems to be happy. I'm hoping it will all work out.
Also all this talk of hot Chinese girls only sweetens the deal.
More life faggineers.
YEAH SUCK IT!!! R&D AND NATURAL SCIENCES 4 LYFE SON!

My parents wouldn't send me out of state and I was in the first class to complete all 4 years at my high school. The high school was so busy with building additions, constant staff rotations, ciriculum changes and other things, that they never told us anything about college or loans or whatnot, so we all got fucked over in the end.
My parents applied me to one of the best schools in the state, and I got in, but I didn't care because I didn't know what I wanted to do and figured I'd rather waste a year at community college with my friends. Now all my friends are gone and up until this week I've been working full time overnight and going to class during the day which has really been fucking with me.
Now I've got this semester, summer semester, and fall to go through before I get my Associates in Computer Support (if I don't fail anything). I'm not sure how interested in that I am, so pretty soon I will start thinking about whether I want to continue into a 4 year Information Systems degree or switch to something like political science or whatever.
Whatever, fag. Go make some glass stemware, ya douche.
Fuck that, I'm out of glass R&D.
I'm now an Analytical Chemist. Same company, new department, and a cool lab coat.
