My cousin took bowling in college. He's a fat nihilistic piece of poo poo, and I keep wondering why he hasn't offed himself already. YMMV.

Sorry Cole. I can't hear you over the noise of me snacking on this MRE in the library. All the nutrition I need. Reminds me of being outside the wire.

So what happens if your clearance expires when you're still in? My end of it was done but my digital signature was screwed up so I thought it better not to sign it like that. Then it turns out that the guy who handles that stuff for the wing is out on medical or something and no one knows who to call.

I had a dream that I was still in school, and hadn't done any of the work this semester, and there was a week and a half left to try and salvage stuff. Almost as fun as the dreams I had when I still was in school about a 5th class I hadn't been attending.

I hate writing cover letters but doing so is part of the reason I have my job right now. Out of the five candidates three didn't really meet the requirements (Or write cover letters), and the other guy who did didn't give a good answer about self teaching. I wouldn't pay to fly to an interview out of my own pocket. I got burned a couple of years ago by a company that made me travel to the interview. 5 hour drive. They have kind of a lovely reputation for grabbing recent grads, and paying them poo poo until they have enough experience to go elsewhere. Plus it's a family owned company so there's no room for advancement at all. I was willing to put up with that for a couple months to get my required internship done though. Didn't get the job for whatever reason. If they called me up right now and offered me a job I'd probably tell them to go gently caress themselves, advice against burning bridges be damned.

So she either waited for someone who was in prison for a good while, or got engaged to someone she met who happened to be in prison. I'd say you made the right choice.

I had a time conflict with finals my last semester on campus. So I walked in 45 minutes late, and despite clearing it with the professor ahead of time it was still incredibly stressful working away while everyone else gets up and leaves.

My college has a policy where grad students have to pay the grad rate for undergrad classes. This grad student from another school took the same 6 credit class I did summer semester and had to pay something like $7k for it. I had 3 other classes besides that for a total of 17 credits, and thanks to tuition banding paid less than this guy did for one class. Not that I really paid for it anyway. Also, taking 17 credits during a summer semester is miserable.

The problem with community college is that a whole bunch of your classmates are bound to be unmotivated dickheads treading water until their parents kick them out of the house. Even if you don't have to do group work with them it starts to wear on you.

I had a speech teacher who was a real blast. "I will refuse to sign any drop papers, I will not let you drop the class" -Not true at all. I think we lost 4 people at a minimum. Also think administration might have had something to say about her policy. "You are not allowed to do unethical speach topics. For instance I'm Catholic, so you can't talk about abortion" That was the only example given of what an "unethical speech topic" was. She was a short fat woman who wore loud clothes. Her husband was a doctor in my guard wing so there was incentive there not to fight with her. She also wouldn't shut up about how much she hated Obama. My mom took the class a year later and got to see what a loony bitch she was. Casimir Radon fucked around with this message at 06:50 on Dec 28, 2018 |

so glad I haven't had to take classes in rural Minnesota/Wisconsin. If anything all of my crazy professors were probably actual Marxists, especially the fun/crazy old lady who I took my intro Poli Sci classes from.

Getting your foot in the door in the Federal system might be good. I didn't have any luck myself back when I was trying to get an internship. I spent a few hours messing with my USAJobs resume, and another hour filling out application poo poo for a USGS internship. Right towards the end they asked some pointed questions that made it clear what they really wanted was somebody in an environmental sciences master's program. The description hadn't said anything about that. I punched submit anyway since I'd already wasted all that time but knew deep down I wasn't even going to get called on that one.

My school did tuition banding. After 12 credits you didn't pay any extra for additional classes. You did need a form or something if you went over 20 I think. But there wasn't any sort of fee to go with it. I did 17 twice. Miserable both times.

Anyone got tips for contacting faculty in a program you're interested in. I've already decided that I'm not going to start grad school next year. The deadline for fall of 2020 applications is the start of December, and I don't feel comfortable rushing things.

lightpole posted:Are you looking for a masters or PhD? If it's a masters you can try looking for the graduate head for the program. At least at my school those were the ones with the most power, not the individual professors. If you are going for a PhD ask in the grad school thread in A/T but I think their advice is to just go for it, there's no real right way as long as you're courteous. Also check among your faculty for connections?

I skipped high school graduation and CC graduation. Feel like I robbed myself of closure with the high school one, but don't give two shits about CC. That was a large part of why I walked for my bachelor's and will when I do grad school some day.
