God dammit I hate the lack of information available for classes during registration.

Every class literally has one paragraph that “describes” the course, but 90% of the finance class descriptions sound the same.

I figured I had played it smart by registering for one too many classes this semester, with the hope I would just attend them all the first week and drop the one I didn’t like, but it turns out both classes I was on the fence for suck. Now I’ve talked with some other friends taking other classes during those time slots but all the professors say, “well, you didn’t attend the first class so we can’t let you in.”

So I’ll probably get stuck in one of these poo poo classes just so I can graduate on time.

I e-mail professors during registration if I want to see an old syllabus. They're usually very receptive.

I went to my advisor and asked him to list out what I can and need to take to graduate as fast as possible and indiscriminately took classes that I needed. If it was an elective I usually went based on professor reputation rather than what the course was about.

Small school perks.

It’s going to peak at 93 degrees today and two of my 40+ person classrooms have barely functional AC. Yay for education infrastructure cuts, gotta spend $18m on football upgrades.

Also they changed the parking lots so that there are no longer commuter lots on the south side of campus. It takes 20 minutes to walk for the south side to the nice parking lots, and nearly 40 to walk to the ones out in the boonies. The fix for this was to have two busses for each parking lot, but they’re so slow that they only come about every 10-15 min, at which point it costs you time if you just barely miss one. Oh, and rain shelters/shade at the bus stops? Lol no, gently caress you students!

It was a good day.

The heat and humidity overwhelmed the environmental controls in the clean room. So instead of having to Bunny Suit up and be miserable, I got to gently caress around and watch my professor solder resistors at 50x magnification with a rework gun.

In the other class, I too had an outspoken Female.

"Why are there so many guys in the Microelectronics classes?"
"Because Printed Circuit Boards don't talk back."

"For your answer to number 4, it is hard to know if men and women were equal as we did not live in the same time as them we can only speculate and try to form an opinion based off of that information.

I just started an MBA program full time (two three hour classes) on Tuesday and a new job on Wednesday, so gently caress my life. Does it get easier? I wanted a perfect GPA, but I do not think that will happen. I am exited though, it is nice to be occupied after getting out and just applying to jobs for two months.

If it gets easier you need to up your game, raise your standards/goals and push harder. You can do this and do it at a high level, just work on time management, task prioritization and focus.

I bought some sweatpants that had the school name on them but I can’t tell if they are girl pants or not since they seem kind of snug and kind of accentuate my rear end. The flip side of this is it makes my dick look massive but I haven’t worn them with underwear yet since I haven’t really left the house with them on in regards to the not sure if they are girl pants or not issue.

English teacher also straight up admitted today he was going to take the easy route and give us a writing prompt about remembering 9/11 but then remembered himself that most people in the class would have just been born or not born yet so he h hated it to childhood memories. Wrote about my dog.

If they have pockets they're dude pants.

If they have pockets and they're tight through the calves then they are skinny dude pants.

Either way who cares if they're comfy

Your buddy was trying to signal that college is opening his mind to exciting new possibilities for self expression and you just shut him down

The only people I really make fun of about how they dress are people who go out trying to look like they’re in the navy Seals or something. With a motto shirt, one of those hats with the Velcro American flag on it (bonus points if it’s an IR flag), combat boots, and an assault pack.

A. You can either work a dumbshit job like I did and hate yourself for the rest of your life or
B. Go back to school and learn something, maybe even get a really good job afterwards who knows
