I might try and pack summers too and get it over with faster.

Do it. I should have been done a year ago but I was lazy and stupid.

Starting college next Monday, almost 40 and dropped out of school very young so I am quite nervous. I went from "maybe I can go to school" to financial aid finalized and signed up for classes within 3 weeks. I have no clue what I am doing or what to expect.

What for/where are you attending?

Not worth being nervous for anything. I started college in September, and the whole month of August I worked myself up over that big change in my life, and the pressure to perform, responsibility and all that... And then I began classes... And what do you know? I like it so much better than high school. I didn't know anyone, I made a couple really good friends, i'm experiencing people and concepts i wouldnt normally find myself with, I'm learning things, and honestly... It may just be me, (I come from a very tiger-mom type of town/school system) ...but its really not all that bad.

You will enjoy it. Plus I'm sure being at a more mature age and place in life puts you at an advantage, since you've had years out in 'the real world' and will be able to filter what you learn as 'useful' and 'bullshit'.... Not to mention the fact that you'll probably be less distracted/pressured the way 18-19-20 somethings like I am, and you're already accustomed to having real responsibilities.

Relax. Just try not to stare too much at the smoking blonde 20 year old sitting in front of you in comp.

My school has a guarantee for the CNET program of 4 years. As long as you take 4-5 classes. I might try and pack summers too and get it over with faster.

I'd only have about two more quarters if I didn't have to take so few classes every quarter.

Haha I don't get what happened to "4 years", Graduating in June is 5 years out of highschool, and I've been taking 3 classes a quarter pretty much the whole time. I even took 2 summer classes like 2 summers ago. weird.

Last semester boi

Lucky! Congrats

Gotta finish this quarter then one more for me.

Accounting information systems class is gonna suck, I can feel it. We have a group project, one of those bs ones where you have to go find a company that will let you interview them and that jazz, yuck. It also has a project where you essentially do what quickbooks does, on paper and it suuuuccccks.

Couple of my Prof are slacking at putting grades up too

[MF DOOM]

That slapdik prof that Ive been complaining about still hasnt posted final grades........

[z28]

Im glad that i got A's in all my classes this semester, especially solid mechanics lecture and the lab.

[ccsdo5]

Oh well.. Next semester should be fun. calc 3, circuits, digital systems, phys 2 and im still considering retaking statics.

Have a similar schedule next semester. calc 3, circuits for engineers, digital logic & circuit switching, statics, phys. ed, and possible electrical machinery if they let me take the class because circuits for engineers is a prerequisite but I talked to a bunch of people in it now and I've done pretty much everything they do at work already.

But if you need help with physics 2 let me know, I did really well when I took and it's one of my favorite classes I've taken so far.
