tomorrow - day of judgement

will i be in school or heading back home

either or right now is fine with me. if i'm able to stay at school, i'll be able to finish out the swim season after missing 2 meets this weekend. take more classes. and finally will be done with the BS at this school.

if i go home, i can get a job, thinking a bouncer type thing where a friend works. he asked me i wanted to work new years eve since they are low staffed right now, but i was flying to florida that morning...so i couldn't. but if i go home, that may be an option. then i may or may not take the civil service test to start the process of maybe being a boston fire fighter. but that would entail not going back to school for a while...

either way, i'll be able to work out at a gym and get stronger and lose fat and all that fun stuff.

whatever happens, happens is what i'm feeling right now - which is not what i ideally want, but its the situation i'm in.

 

You'll get voted off the island. No wait...

 

either way fitz...
its all cool...

 

Good luck either way.

 

i just hate the feeling that i've been here at school since tuesday and tomorrow may be the day i go home. was here when barely anyone else was, with just the other athletes. now that everyone is back, i may be going home

 

it really makes sense to spend thousands on an eduation you may or may not fail...i love the united states...

 

In this economic system it makes perfect sense... what matters is the school's profit, not the education it sells.

 

Could that be why they constantly change prereq's in the middle of most 4 year programs rendering alot of classes useless and your need to take others so you can go on to finish? You know you must take this class to get into this class and so on then all of a sudden the class they told you to take that your spend money and time on is no longer the needed class for that next class but rather one you did not take so now you have to take another class just to get to the class you actually need to get your degree and then if your really lucky they will also eliminate that class that it said you needed for your degree and change that to another with a whole new lists of prereq classes that you have to spend more money and time on. Its a great money game yet they scream for more cash!

What is really fucked up is maybe a year of college was actually geared toward my degree, the rest was bs classes that were a real waste of time and trouble.

 

was just talking to one of my good friends. he has a Psych minor. so he goes to his psych class and the prof then tells the students that the class is canceled. yea, he's in his last semester and was just told his last class to get his minor was canceled. though, they were able to get it turned into a independent study, so they could take the class. but if he couldnt' take the class, he'd have to somehow find another elective just to be able to graduate on time - it'd be almost impossible to find another open elective with his course load this semester.

 

That and it has to be an elective that still qualifies for his degree unless he just needed credit hours only.

Thats how you change a say 120 CR degree into 130+CR degree and we all know CR=$$

 

he just needed the credits

however, he wouldn't get his pysch minor because he's taking all the other psych classes he needed. so he got lucky

 

I would not let it worry you too much, college does not make you worthy or worthless, that was decided without them.

I know alot of great people never even got out of 8th grade and I also know alot of people with PHD's that I would not send to the store for a can of pop for fear they would fuck it up.

Springfield MO has alot of College grads working at mini marts due to lack of jobs so no matter what its a gamble.

 

i'm not worrying about that. i just dont' want to have to keep coming back to here...i want to be done and start moving on - just 1 miore semester left and i can do that...but i don't know if that'll happen yet

 

whatever will be will be....when do you find out if you stay or if you go?

 

i just emailed someone who may be able to help. so we'll see what she says...dean of enrollment was the person i emailed.

 

You DO know the answer she is going to give you correct?

Anywhom, my take on it is live your dream out bro. If you want to be a Firefighter and save lives more so than being a College Graduate, then do it without looking back. If the case is Vice Versa, then so is the answer.

Good luck.

 

i do not know the answer she is going to give me. i've sent 4 emails to her, with her responding to 3 of them so far. been answering her questions.

so the verdict is still out...

 

My school, the course list gets set when you get accepted. They can't add requirements. If they stop carrying a class that is required, they have the option of changing the requirement, but thats it. I've never had the problem.

I don't mind the elective studies, either. The more well-rounded the education, the better.

 

they got rid of economics as a major while i was out of school for a semester...came back and had to change my major...yea, that was sucky

 

You must not be at a US based major 4 year+ University, they all seem to pride themselves on mid changes.
