I have to commute for anything from an 1hr15mins to 2hrs each way to uni because I do not drive. My monday has an 8am start and a 6pm finish with a massive gap in the middle. I bet I post a suicide thread one monday next year.

I don't go to college. :smug:
That had to have been so frustrating. I'm sorry. :(Quote:

So I show up an hour before closing that day, and I'm like "hey dude, I just need this block to go away okay?" and he's like "yup, all clear hey let me help you pick classes" and this has always always turned out bad, but I had the degree plan right in front of me and knew exactly what I wanted to take, so I figure nothing can go wrong. But something did! I asked the advisor to register me for two classes. Neither of them were valid. One had been canceled, and one...I don't know what happened there. The printout showed the correct class, online it showed some other class in the department that I was not eligible for. I can only assume the catalog is smurfed up. So when he clicked register, instead it registering, it was actually like, "whoops! You can't take those classes, but we'll save them to a 'preferred list' for you anyway." I don't know if he didn't know or just neglected to tell me, but I went home without knowing this. I get on the computer, see I have half an hour left to pay, and when I bring up my account, I see that I owe nothing. And that isn't right. I mean, it's college. So then I see what's up, and try to register for different classes, and I find one, one class that is on my degree plan, isn't full or canceled, and fits my work schedule, register it, and whoops half hour is up.Quote:

Also, I've been in school since the 15th. :mad2:

Where do you go NCG? I've been thinking of trying to go to National University because they are supposed to be really military friendly and will work with me. Plus I think I can get classes on base. Or online.
Back when I was still in school my longest day was one that stretched from 8am until 10pm. No, really, I had classes that went until 10pm. Fortunately that one only happened once a week, and I was about a ten minute drive from my house. (I grew up in a university town :3 )
Right now I'm taking classes at Southwestern.Quote:

(Well, I still sub, but that doesn't count.)
I just got out early AGAIN. All of my teachers so far have said that they don't obligate the taking of notes. One of my manuels the teacher said we dont even have to get it. I have 2 projects and three exams. We have like a week to read a chapter in a book. And according to the class guide, it's going to be like that all semester. THATS IT. Where the frig is the super strict college I was promised back in High School??? This is crap.
"Crap"?? College is awesome!! I love the "Do what you want, here's what I expect you to learn, test is this day, peace out," nature of college. I barely graduated high school, but finished college with a 3.8GPA.
Ah, so your a Jaguar. Fun fun. I couldn't go there, way to far south for me. I am pretty much limited to Grossmont, National, Mesa, or Miramar. I am gonna see about getting into classes in November, since I am gonna be detached to another base for October.Quote:

Haha. Unfortunately I am. I hear good things about Grossmont, I have quite a few friends going there because they don't like SWC. xDQuote:
