laxx Posted May 14, 2009 Report Posted May 14, 2009 College was a blast. I miss it. Actually, I think I miss not having any responsibility. =T
grawk Posted May 14, 2009 Report Posted May 14, 2009 I'm glad to be shut of college. I like that my projects now have real implications, and aren't the machinations of someone who's never experienced what it takes to get a product to market.
Dusty Chalk Posted May 14, 2009 Report Posted May 14, 2009 jungled?Kind of like swamped, except in the past tense completive (?). Also, with more of a sense of chaos, and more of a sense of "can't see the forest for the trees". I had been going to school continuously for my entire life at the point that I graduated (to the point of even going to summer school at the end of high school so that I could graduate a year early, and in less than a month started college). So yeah, the first couple of years of no school were kind of a relief. That Denzel rumor is a little bit of an exaggeration -- yes, we lived together, but nothing happened. And one could do worse than Denzel's leftovers.
aardvark baguette Posted May 14, 2009 Report Posted May 14, 2009 I don't miss college a bit, except maybe the schedules, which either rocked or sucked. But they changed every semester, and I was often able to work it out so that I didnt have to go in on Fridays.

As with all your blanket statements, that's not always the case.
The Monkey Posted May 14, 2009 Report Posted May 14, 2009 I miss college--a lot. I just wish I had worked a bit harder to get better grades. But then I would have missed that party that time. EDIT: I don't miss law school at all.

EDIT: I don't miss law school at all. I had meh grades in undergrad, for various reasons. I dont regret it one bit, and it hasn't proved detrimental to me one bit. There needs to be a balance between fun and work. My g/f (fiance in a few weeks, jeez thats weird to say) graduated cum laude, and regrets not having more fun.
aardvark baguette Posted May 14, 2009 Report Posted May 14, 2009 part of college is learning what not to do. i.e., work
JBLoudG20 Posted May 14, 2009 Report Posted May 14, 2009 part of college is learning what not to do. i.e., work I totally agree. By my junior year, I had figured out which assignment were the ones to blow off, and which ones you focus all your time on.
Dusty Chalk Posted May 14, 2009 Report Posted May 14, 2009 ... which assignment were the ones to blow off...I never did figure that out, so I just did everything.
aardvark baguette Posted May 14, 2009 Report Posted May 14, 2009 I actually picked up on that skill somewhere in grade school, but college is where I really took the skill to dizzying new heights.
JBLoudG20 Posted May 14, 2009 Report Posted May 14, 2009 I never did figure that out, so I just did everything. Well what I actually meant was: given limited amount of time, with too much to do, what assignments should be given priority and the most time spent as to maximize the return. I learned that pulling all nighters to finish a signals ans systems homework wasn't worth it, when it would mess up the following day when I would have to study for an exam.
cetoole Posted May 15, 2009 Report Posted May 15, 2009 Worked, finished a paper, heading home now. Only two more papers to go, a take home exam, and one final exam to go.
mypasswordis Posted May 15, 2009 Report Posted May 15, 2009 I don't party or do anything fun at all and I still get my ass handed to me by uni. This semester blew all kinds of chunks (worst one yet, by far). I had a violin jury this morning which ended up going late so I only had an hour or so to look over notes one last time before I got shafted by a math exam.
The Monkey Posted May 16, 2009 Report Posted May 16, 2009 Went to the new Yankee Stadium with my Dad, brother, and the Little Monkey. Good stuff. I like the new digs. Will get to lots of games this year, I think.
The Monkey Posted May 16, 2009 Report Posted May 16, 2009 planted two trees drank two tom collins Is that like a rule or something?
grawk Posted May 16, 2009 Report Posted May 16, 2009 bread has a higher alcohol requirement than arborism
grawk Posted May 16, 2009 Report Posted May 16, 2009 bread and alcohol both require yeast, hence the difference
n_maher Posted May 16, 2009 Report Posted May 16, 2009 Between yesterday evening and this morning I spent 5 hours mowing the lawn. Followed that up with re-mulching the front flower beds which took another 4 hours. I'm spent. Only 2 units of alcohol consumed so far, clearly I'm way behind schedule.
boomana Posted May 16, 2009 Report Posted May 16, 2009 Just watched a drunk lady smash her SUV into my neighbor's tree and take off running. There are 10 cops cars in front of my house and no one can find her.
n_maher Posted May 16, 2009 Report Posted May 16, 2009 Yup, you're saving up for LA, obviously. No, I need to drink more and get my liver in shape or I'll be a one-drink wonder in LA.
