    I have a graduation ceremony coming up, but its a pretty pointless ceremony for my AA at my community college. I see no reason to go whatsoever. Gotta save myself for the real deal in a couple of years.

    I am getting my associates at the end of this semester

    I also see no reason to walk, I will probably walk after the bachelors since my wife thinks it is important

    seems kinda slow since I am 25 but excited to transfer to university

    During long tests I actually plan naps. I will do 1 hour of work, 10 minute nap, then finish the test.

    I'm supposed to do this presentation for tomorrow, the rubric ain't worth a shit.

    The chapter from the book I'm presenting on is 6 pages long. I'm supposed to talk for 8 minutes about this shit? I'm tired of these goddamn presentations! At least it's not a group presentation.

    Well like.

    I'm super dumb!

    On sunday I was up till like 4 and got 4 hours of sleep then went to write to exams and I fell a sleep during the first one. Did poorly on the second.

    Then tuesday I had my ccna exam at 8 or I was supposed to but I'm dumb and aniexty is keeping me up so I slept and completely missed it. But thankfully I emailed the professor and he let me write it this morning.

    But I almost didn't make it this morning! The bus drove away as I was running towards it so it took me a extra hour to get to school and I had 20mins to write the ccna then I had to go write a c++ exam which I did poorly. I am incompetent.

    Only two more test today

    Yea, I will be 28 when I get my bachlors, which is looking less odd than I originally thought it was.

    And the name I thought of because of the business I ran between original dropout of college and the return.

    Lets open a home inspection business the real estate market has to bounce back. Turns out it does not and I am bad at decision making

    Just found out that my research paper only has to be 20 pages and not the 30 I originally thought.

    I already have 19 written. I will actually finish the damn thing this week.

    huzzah!

    Yay for you!

    I have gotten lucky this semester, the only paper I have to write is a 4 page paper in geology. Last semester I had a 10 page paper due every week, this is a wonderful change.

    I get a letter from the school today. Before I open it I am expecting the typical "here is such and such blah blah blah responsibility/form/bullshit we need you to do.... etc" but it was a cheque for $1600

    no explanation

    no "here is a bursary!"

    no "this is for doing a good job!"

    just a cheque

    I am pumped but I feel like I should know why I got this

    In my economics class if you get a 90 or above on the three tests throughout the year you do not have to take the final. Got a 96 on the first test.

    Sweet I can do this I think to myself.

    Just got my grade back on the second test. 87

    ARGH fuck so close. Happy for the good grade but sooo close

    I will not be getting my bachelor's degree until I'm 42 years old.

    Then I have to go to graduate school.

    So I can then enter the job market looking for one of an ever-shrinking number of poorly-paid positions in my new career of choice.

    Do I win the poor life choices contest?

    I just spent all day writing my last C++ program and I'm pretty sure there isn't anything wrong with it.

    This makes me happy because I need 100% on it to pass since I completely fucked the test up this morning. If I wrote the test now I'd be find since I just spent all day learning how to do it.

    Gotta straighten out des priorities.

    Oh and @unintentional Congrats on the organic chem test! That is awesome!

    No kidding; had no idea how popular that was. Just got mine last year at 26.

    And now I need to get a master's if I want to stay in my current field (not even to advance, but just to stay at my current level). Doesn't matter what it's in, I just need to be able to put MA, MS, or MBA after my name. So many options..

    I may be going back to school to get a master's in teaching degree while working as a high school teacher. Have an interview this Saturday for a teaching fellowship.
    I never really liked school, and browsing this thread has brought back all the fun memories. I had almost convinced myself going back would be nice.
