But German is mon/wed/friday 10-11. WTF is that? How am I supposed to work at all?

Math is starting for me next week, mon-thur 3-5, again WTF? That almost kills the day and traffic is a nightmare going both ways. At least its only 4 weeks! Why can't they have it 8-10 in the morning? Or 5-7 at night. Damn them!

I can't wait to get out next spring! School sux's, not having any money does as well.

That school crap sound tough, especially the no money part

I'm in the cheese with my current setup. Work for Uncle Sam in a field related to a civilian job, get school moneys, and bypass the waiting lists.
All is good (well, I say this now, but..? we'll see come January)

"That was the day I invented the fall schedule. I remember it vividly. I was standing on the edge of my toilet hanging a clock, the porcelain was wet, so I slipped, fell, hit my head on the sink, and when I came to... I had a vision! A revelation! A picture in my head! A picture of this... this is what makes time travel possible... The Fall Schedule."

Good Night...Future Boy!

The worst part about college is when your friends get out and start to make a lot of money. And buy cool toys, and have cash to blow on the weekends at clubs, and buy houses.

And your still living at home flat broke because you havn't got your degree yet, and can't get decent job without it.

That part really sucks.

I was checking out my degree audit so I could help a friend understand hers and I found something I didnt notice

on top of calc 1 and 2 with physics I also have to go and take Diff-E and Calc 3.... hurray...

It sucks calc1 with physics cant count for two classes. I just want my AA so I can go and join the air force like I have been planning to do

Just remember this. There are two types of people in the Air Force.
Them that fly.
Them that wait on them that fly.
Which one you gonna be?

My brother went to the Air Force Academy. Bad vision disqualified him from flying. When he graduated, he took a commission in the Army. Go Rangers!

I want to do something technical somewhat related to flying but not flying. I like living

yea, not 4 years at a CC

figure, get my AA join up and take advantage of the GI bill like some of my friends have done

plus while in the service most of my money would go into savings because I wouldnt have a reason to spend it on rent or bills since most of that is covered.

I could have a nice payment for a condo or what not when I get out.

I fly and I'm still living. Aeronautical engineering might be the way to go you seem to be good at this.

aeronautical is on my list. at the CC level I only have general engineering which is pretty much the same gen ed for all engineering levels with the exception of chemical

Going through the same pains now... I'm staying on campus, and have a scooter to get around, but registered for classes way too late...all the good ones filled up already, stupid immunizations form.. I haven't seen a doctor in like 10 years, had to track down where all the records were...

pawoSD · #29 07-22-2008, 12:38 AM

Its nice being graduated

Then again I have yet to find a job....but I will eventually.

One of the jobs I am currently in the running for would require 84 miles a day of driving.

But it would pay well. Good excuse to add another car to the stable though.

Joe look at the Navy, IMHO they are the best branch. Their is very little you cannot do in the Navy.

As said above in the Airforce you fly, or work on planes. My friend who is currantly an engineer at Sikorsky has a bad shoulder so he couldn't fly for the Marines. They wanted him for other things, but he wasn't interested.

If you get on a surface ship you do get to see quite a bit, lots of ports of call.
