I feel like the only vet that likes/gets along with their much younger classmates. I think it's because engineer culture is also built on the glorification of shared suffering.

Woke up to some gross girl trying to fit my unimpressive, flaccid member inside of her. gently caress college parties and gently caress drinking.

I went to college and dropped out before enlisting, so I'm incredibly nervous about repeating past mistakes, so today has been an odd mix of emotions for me. On the other hand, I just saw my first confirmed veteran. Dude wearing IR flag hat; 5.11 jacket, complete with IR flag and blood type; USMC lanyards; and a glorious vet beard. I'm waiting for him to bring up his service He'll probably flunk out pretty quick, blame PTSD and or liberals.

I got along fine with most of my classmates when I was, on average, 8 years older than they were. But most people I meet are almost always shocked to learn I'm a veteran because I rarely bring it up

Lab 8: Metal Cations Using NH3, HNO3, NaOH, NaCl, and Na2SO4, I have to devise a scheme to separate out Al3+, Fe3+, Ni2+, and Ag+ from a randomly assigned test solution. Maybe all of them, maybe only one are in the test solution. For several reactions, I have to determine through the K values whether the ions are forming complexes or doing nothing at all. gently caress. This. Lab.

I'm not an alcoholic and only stopped drinking because my already lovely feeling guts feel even worse for a day or two after drinking. I'd rather not deal with that than drink 95% of the time, but if I'm hanging out and there's beer pong I can jump in for a round without too ill of an effect. Every law function is all about just getting as drunk as possible as fast as possible. That's not really something I can do because I'm absolutely miserable for 2-3 days after with or without a hangover. Plus they're all mostly rich fucks and I'm loving trailer trash from bum gently caress nowhere. What do I have to talk about with some guy that's talking about his dad closing on their third vacation home (this one in the bahamas)?

Ckwiesr posted:This. I have a hard time believing how retarded some of these people are. And as for stressing, I hear ya. When I first started back up I took an online class about Latin American culture, and we have to do a weekly essay 2-3 pages as well as reply to a discussion post every week. I stressed hard about that first essay and put a ton of effort into it, getting an A in the end. I slowly over the course of the class put less and less effort in seeing what the teachers threshold was for dipping below an A- and I still haven't found it yet. Pretty much this. I'm taking two classes now and will be taking 2 more after these are done. They actually overlap for about a week so it's gonna suck but that degree is gonna taste good. I've done almost no actual studying or trying hard in almost any of my college work. The exceptions being Astronomy, Math, and Sociology. Astronomy was a tricky bitch. It started off all nice and slow like "these planets in our solar system have varieties of components yada yada yada" to "based on the temperature and size of stars we can accurately describe which category our sun falls in and now tell me some other stars. Extra credit if you can find one that is in a jovian binary with the other. Double extra credit if you can explain the differences between the two and what the difference would be if it was one star." It got hard quick, and I studied for hours and barely passed with a C. I also have only had one dick head instructor who didn't take points off for late assignments but straight up marked it zero. It was a throw away class so I'm not too worried about it, and one that the college only offers it's students that are trying to get college credit based off of real world experiences. That and the Astronomy came out as Cs. Math I got an A but I worked my rear end off.

Fat dude with scraggly white trash neckbeard, patch hat, lovely 5.11 geardo backpack with subdued confederate flag prominently displayed alongside subdued US flag and name/rank/unit/whatever the gently caress else patches he could fit on that retarded thing... Check. Yoga butts (whenever it randomly decides to be warm out before cratering to mid-low 30s)... Most definitely check. I've only been called out twice that I can think of. One's a Guard MP that sat next to me in class and clocked my Quality Blind Made™ pen almost instantly, the other was someone from another class that saw me doing the barely-contained-rage forced march slash power walk across campus after I had to have a nice chat with my advisor. DownByTheWooter posted:Lab 8: Metal Cations .... poo poo. Upside is I could pass my Stats class while consistently blackout drunk and the pre-health major intro Bio course is pretty much a refresher.

How the gently caress do you have skilcraft pens that actually WORK? Those fuckers never worked right out of the box most of the time and you're using them post military.

Jarmak posted:Man I'm so happy my chemistry requirement didn't include a lab, for some reason this has led me to decide to take a chem-heavy elective over the coming summer. The 1 credit lab often requires me to put in 3-4 hours a week on homework. I'm looking forward to it being over, but here it was a mandatory co-req for both Gen Chem 1 and 2. This lab is in 3 parts, so it's meant to be like a capstone or practical exam. Last week, we got assigned our ions and did some tests to make observations about what will form precipitates and what will dissolve them, basic/acidic solution etc. Tomorrow, I have to run my scheme to see if it works. Some students got assigned Copper 2+ and Aluminum 3+ together (you got assigned 3-4 at random), which basically behave identically for most of the tests, resulting in a full page of ridiculous solubility equilibria equation jiujitsu and pH management to make their scheme work. What I'm trying to say here is to study History

gently caress I hate having to retake classes because the 4 year decided the jc version wasn't worthy. This is my second class I've had to do this for, and I've taken high level classes that list this particular one as a prereq, and yet I still murdered them. What the gently caress, dude? So I'll be taking calc 2...again. The good news is that I'll be able to take advantage of voc rehab and it should be paying out starting this summer session. ps congrats to all you fellow vets in your recent scholarly accomplishments. Also, high fives for fighting the good fight by not wearing a day pack to class.

Lol I hope you guys aren't planning on taking Orgo or Biochem because it gets so much very worse than that EDIT: Copper and Aluminum can be separated by differential reaction to Carbonate BTW. Your extraction protocol looks good up to the last step but I can't remember if it's all correct (I don't think we even did nickel, so I don't remember if step 2 works). I think hydroxide will precipitate with both iron and aluminum. The chart on Wikipedia says sulfate has differential solubility so you'd have to use K?

That's not the worst, you can def make it by 2020. You lucked out not having to take organic chemistry or organic lab. My school makes you take labs for Micro as well, which sucks. Take Micro and Genetics at the same time for the overlap in material. Sem 1: Bio/Chem/English/Stats Sem 2: Micro/Genetics/English/Psych Sem 3: Biochem/A&P1/Sociology Sem 4: A&P2/Whatever Unless you can do a summer A&P I/II session then kill that poo poo all at once. Honestly I'm not sure how you can do Biochem without Orgo but your course might be a lot different than mine. I did: Summer 1: Chem I/II+Labs Fall/Spring 1: Bio/Orgo/Physics I/II+Labs Fall 2: Biochemistry, Immunobiology, Vertebrate Phys, Stats Spring 2 (currently): Microbiology, Evolutionary Biology, Molecular Genetics, Healthcare Ethics Last year was the worst year of my life, including my first year in the military.
