THE COLLEGE THREAD

[GTICrazy90]

I'm in a 2. 4 week long summer courses this summer session and 3 courses in the 2nd summer sessions. I'm a history major, so I still have all the required readings of a 17 week course condensed into 4 weeks. Thats why i'm posting at 4:52 in the morning. I'm really hating life and all this reading. Sun up to sun down. On a side note, I'm really enjoying reading/comparing James Baldwin and Richard Wright at the moment.

Only 2 more semesters to go. I envy all of you on summer vacation.

Woot all nighters FTW

edit: i remember last quarter i pulled an all nighter right before my bio midterm. I studied all night and i only took a break to eat. I actually didnt finish studying cause well i ran out of time, i had to go and take the midterm. But i got a B out of it which wasnt too bad

Oh and something funny I found out today... My university is 'cost-cutting' by completely canceling all summer courses this year.. Thats fucking bullshit, I don't have any summer classes this year, but I feel bad for all the people that are trying to shoot down as many units as possible to graduate

I'm a business major and I just turned in a 20 page research paper comparing Ireland and Thailand for starting a business. The week before that I turned in a 25 page finance paper. Next week I have two presentations and a final in International Business to take by Sunday. Fuck my life.

^^ Wow thats a lot of work. Are you a third or fourth year??

Today the president of the university sent an email to everyone discussing the budget. And apparently with all the budget cuts, the tuition is going to increase by 9.3%. Also on the letter says that the cal grant might be gone to also save costs!! Its gonna be pretty expensive these coming years for college

Wow all that work sounds like me at the end of last semester. I guess thats what we're in college for. To prove we can deal with a bunch of bullshit work in a short ammount of time and under massive ammounts of pressure.

Its 2:42 and looks like another all-nighter. I love summer school.

just got a newsletter that my school is increasing the tuition because "to increase our ability to support those students who meet the criteria for financial aid"... they raising the tuition because people can't pay them...

I only have exams on Floral Design, Plant Biology and Landscape Plant Materials. Community college + easy major for the win. This means nothing though when I'm out harvesting fruit in the heat busting my ass and you guys are making more than double my salary in a nice air conditioned office..
