I have another two semesters at CSU before I'm done. I actively avoid the student veterans lounge other than to rapidly use their microwave for my lunch. It's full of all the standard issue student veteran stereotypes, and they all mean mug anyone who walks in. I cannot be loving arsed. If I were the type to get along with the standard veteran, I'd still be in the Army. All the stories about how they got drunk and tried to burn down a bar across the border in Mexico, etc, I'm loving over it. But then again I'm massively misanthropic and hate everyone, so this shouldn't really be a surprise. The highest compliment a classmate ever gave me was that she never thought I was a veteran before I told her.

Oh hey here's something for the thread. Back in 2008, my school vets lounge had a meet and greet thing, and as a means of getting us to talk to each other, they handed out these "social bingo" papers. Humanity continues to fill me with inarticulate disgust.

It'd be nice if there were still plentiful jobs for BETSS-C/GBOSS stuff.

12 credits. Business Info Systems Marketing Advanced Accounting Auditing And I have an internship starting today. It's a good thing my computer is too old for XCOM2, because I'd have no time for it anyways.

elite_garbage_man posted:Dude I'd do the same poo poo. I know I've cursed at a teacher or two since getting out for being disrespectful assholes, and plenty of students on campus for being assholes too. It's more of a problem in the lower level and/or remedial classes than the others. You guys are giving too many fucks. Who cares what some pearl-clutching undergrads or profs think, as long as you can get your homework done?

3 years of contracting, yeah. My first attempt at college didn't take since even though I had good grades, I didn't know what the hell I wanted to major in. Went contracting rather than spin my wheels and burn my GI bill.

It's giving a gently caress in a different kind of way. By giving no fucks, I mean expending no mental/emotional energy towards it.

Mike-o posted:So far we're just going over visual characteristics of different minerals, with a test in two weeks. Density, hardness, cleavage (lol), metallic/non-metallic, etc. We're using a little box of minerals with some glass and porcelain to test with and figure out those characteristics to help us figure out which one is which. So far I can already easily tell things like pyrite, magnetite, gypsum, graphite, galena. So essentially I'm learning basics for now. I took Geology class because I was one science credit short, and the advisor said it was the easiest. It ended up being really cool and I enjoyed it quite a bit. All of my road trips to national parks since then have basically been geology field trips. Except, y'know, with an AK.

holocaust bloopers posted:Veterans are the worst FYI It's true. One of my first remedial math classes had a guy with one of those leather biker vests, along with a big 82nd patch on the back, actual pin-on CIB and jump wings on the front, etc, etc. It was pretty disgusting. Dude was dumb as a box of rocks, too.

App13 posted:I will not step foot into the vet center/lounge unless I need to for paperwork reasons. The crowd that hangs out there is hilariously terrible. Same. I have a routine. I go in, throw my food in the microwave, set for 2 minutes and walk out to go take a piss. By the time I'm done, I walk back in and the microwave is within 5 seconds of beeping. At my school it's a combined veterans and adult learners lounge, so you have both vets and oddball older people who are hanging out. Anyone walking in gets mean mugged by the vets immediately. The conversation I overhear is either some spergy poo poo, or some THIS ONE TIME IN FALLUJAH nonsense. I wasn't even that way when I first got out and tried going back to school. Where do guys get this mentality from?

Here's a dumb GI bill issue for Vasudus, etc. This coming fall is my last semester of college. My Post 9/11 GI bill should be exhausted by the end of it, as far as I'm tracking. However, I only need 9 credits to finish. Down side is they're all hard courses (capstone, govt accounting, tax accounting), and staying at only 9 credits would mean I wouldn't get full GI Bill benefits. I'll also still be working an internship at the time. My current options are: A) Do the necessary school paperwork to make the internship count as 3 credits rather than getting paid, thus bumping me up to full time status. (The internship currently pays $12/hr and I'm getting about $250 every two weeks for the amount of work that I can fit around my class schedule) B) Take some easy elective to round out 12 credits. C) Just take the 9 credits and take the part time hit on the GI Bill. If I only take part time GI Bill next semester, will that exhaust it completely, or will there still be some funds left in case I later want to take more classes?

App13 posted:I have July and August off with no classes and no job lined up. I have plenty of money, but what the gently caress should I do to pass the time? Road trip and see awesome national parks all over the place. That's what I did last summer. E: if you sleep in your car or use a tent on campgrounds, you can do it for super loving cheap.

TBeats posted:Accounting is hard Another month and I'm done. gently caress going for the CPA though, I have a local job lined up already and I'd rather not be miserable working for a firm during tax season. (Or as one of my profs called it, "opportunity season." I was laughing madly at that, but somehow I was the only one in the class to do so.) I'm legit leaning towards buying a M82A1 CQ as a graduation present to myself. 90% due to The Accountant.

Yeah intermediate is where poo poo starts getting real. What worked for me was doing the practice problems over and over until I really had the mechanics down. This also entailed acquiring solutions manuals, not to cheat with, but to check my work. That way, if my answer was off, I could generally backtrack my way through the problem and figure out where I went wrong. Probably 80% of the time, it's because I skimmed the question and missed something crucial.

2 A's, A-, A+. Final semester. Puts my overall GPA in the bracket for "cum laude" designation. Not sure if that's worth anything more than a bad joke or two.
