.::PHPfanatic::.
I wish you good luck, Deftone. You were talking to me about this.
actz
hey college/uni is the best smile.gif trust me when you get out you will miss it yes even the work its true
Kenut
I'm still in uni right now and I would like to beg the differ, actz. laugh.gif

Actually I believe what you say...Cuz back in highschool people told me I would miss it once I finished and left it...It's true...I do miss it, I no longer get to see a lot of people that I took for granted being around me. Besides the last grade of highschool none of the other grades really mattered and that's why it was relatively stress free.

But right now...I can't wait to get my ass out of uni. tongue.gif
SuranWrap
I love College! I love the fact you can skip class and go to a bar 20 feet from your class!
rockman56

i know i do...
stickman373
I really enjoy it, besides all the loads of work, its great!
Julia's_Phate
Well I値l probably end up missing high school, but for right now I just want out!
Kenut
Yea, I'll probably end up missing uni...But it's hard to imagine right now...I had a midterm yesterday...I'm about to have one in 30 minutes and I have three on the same day on Friday. It's hard to imagine missing anything like this at the moment.
grr....012
lol gl def tongue.gif
Deftone
well im back from the first day. Wasnt so bad, other than I had my butt down on a chair working 4 hours straight. But it was okay, the teacher was rather nice and I made a pretty cool friend that I got to talk to. Tomorrow is Intro. to Engineering (aka Physics)... Lets hope it works just as well
grr....012
i thought i was gunna be on academic probation but i fixed all my problems and im gunna pass math YAY
Deftone
i had to borrow my friend's scientific calculator til mine comes in from the moving...coz i NEED IT lol.
.::PHPfanatic::.
I have some excellent apps (customization functions) for the TI 83+ but that's beside the point... I'm glad your first day was a good one. smile.gif
Deftone
physics was good too..reminded me of how interesting it was.
Rezza
Physics r0x0rz j00r b0x3rs!! just thought i should add that
GTX5_Crusader
I'm enjoying this quarter of my classes; Only 1 period (about 50 minutes) of English, and 3 periods of Computer classes (2 of A+, 1 of Net+) biggrin.gif
.::PHPfanatic::.
My physics teacher is miserable... she makes it boring although I'm sure it's anything but.
Deftone
yeah my school physics teacher sucked..this guy made it interesting though.

3 comp classes GT? I wish i had that smile.gif
fluky_daft
I definitely want outta high school I cant wait to go to college I know its gonna be hard but I知 so ready. I love what I知 going for so I know I値l be ok and if not I値l just try again! tongue.gif
Julia's_Phate
I'm just sick of being stuck in classes with clueless people. I don't claim to be a genius or anything but when people can't average 2 numbers then I start to wonder why I come to school at all. For all of you who are wondering why I don't get moved up to a more advance class it's because we A. don't have a guidance counselor and B. because I go to a technical school and they focus more on your shop area rather than your academics.
Deftone
that sux JP..

well today was another math lesson. Contrary to the previous lesson this one blew my mind off lol. There's stuff in there that I realize i never took in high school which makes me hate the math level of american schools sad.gif
fluky_daft
I definately agree w/ ya on that one JP!!! I'm definately seeing the supidness radiating from this building!!! wacko.gif
.::PHPfanatic::.
Are you talking about averaging x numbers in your head or just grasping the concept, JP? If it's the latter they're indeed stupid (maybe... or extreme sleep deprivation) but if it's the former I don't see it this way.

My problem is that when people are asking questions I think they're stupid (the questions that is) and don't need to be asked (specifically in math) but then when it comes to tests I'm an idiot.
Deftone
i have no clue why i get all the complicated problems but the simple ones i miss
.::PHPfanatic::.
It's the same case with me, Deftone... it's weird.
Deftone
yeah its like overthink stuff...so for hard problems i do okay..but for real easy ones i just miss the mark
actz
I think its all about the teachers and you really have to enjoy who ever is trying to get your attention. I've had some really great teachers in the past that get me interested in a course that i usualy could care less about. It doesnt happen that often that i like my teachers so its great when you do find some that are worth pleasing and actualy showing up for.
fluky_daft
I agree with actz on this. JP and I were discussing how incredibly stupid our teachers are and there is only one that you can honestly have an intelligent conversation with its rather disappointing but thats what you get w/ this wonderful PA education!
GTX5_Crusader
Most of the teachers I have here in collage are ones that you can have some really interesting discussions with smile.gif
Kenut
I never talked to my professors...Unless it was about my attendance or my marks. tongue.gif Back in highschool...I've only talked to teachers if I had them for two years straight in a subject or more. Otherwise...to the teachers I just kinda blend in the background.
.::PHPfanatic::.
Exactly the case with me, Kenut, with my teachers that is. I've talked to my geeky math teacher a few times about some calculator programs but that's it, he spases out sometimes or does something weird and doesn't even know it haha.

I'm talking about two numbers, both of which were only 2 digits and also were whole numbers. I really don't see how it can be mind shatter to add these together and then divide by two. What is this generation coming to?
fluky_daft
Dense people who are just going to reproduce and then OD some time afterwards ruining the world even more by letting their offspring thrive and become just like them.
starrgazing
goodluck for your studies, dudes
Deftone
studies suck!
GTX5_Crusader
Yeah, for now. But just think of what'll turn out if you work hard on your studies smile.gif
snocked
College sucks just as much as high school. I want to slit my wrists while sitting at a desk in classrooms.
actz
hehe i've had the feeling in some classes that just drive you out of your mind and make you want to jump out the window but i've always managed to get out somehow and not go back hehehe got in trouble for that in high school a couple of times University way easier to just walk out.
.::PHPfanatic::.
Yeah in most of my classes I can't stop yawning, I usually try to hide it but sometimes it's difficult.
Deftone
yeah u cant help it! My math teacher loses me though. She makes the simplest processes seem hard...i know coz we were going over material I had covered before..and she made it so confusing for the class..sigh
tlviking
good luck m8
b strong
Deftone
