this has nothing to do with school.

[Rayne]

someone pulled the fire alarm two minutes into my discrete math midterm. lot of people are pissed. im in a good mood.

[pichubro]

I wish that would happen for MY math tests. :c

[Rayne]

its actually a cs class

[Rayne]

also now we're gonna get a take home exam

[Khaos]

my school did this cool thing where the only thing that counts towards your gardes are tests so now i don't have to do my assignments (its not like i did them anyways this just gives me more reason to not do them)

[Midnight the dark Espeon]

College is a joke. I've gotten a's on all my papers without trying. 5 pages? Due next week? I'll start at midnight, 6 hours before I have to turn it in. No problem.

[Rayne]

whats your major

[Kirby]

uh Italian is a bitch

I just hope I can get atleast a C so I don't fuck up my scholarship

[Midnight the dark Espeon]

whats your major

Right now, it's computer science. I want to be a game dev. But I'm thinking of going into politics. I don't know what I'm doing with my life.

[Rayne]

what papers do you have to write for computer science.....

[Midnight the dark Espeon]

I have to take a composition class. It's a requirement for all degree programs at my university.

[Kirby]

sounds like a bunch of malarchy

[Kirby]

I do get what midnight is going on about, all throughout high school you are bitched at over and over again on how hard college writing is. Maybe its because I am a freshman, but so far its not that hard, its almost just a more advanced version of high school writing: write shit the right length and make it look nice and hand it in on time.

[Rayne]

also because of the fire alarm fiasco i get to take a conflict for my other cs midterm. the good news just keeps on coming.

[Rayne]

generally people are required to take a rhetoric class but i dont have to because of my test scores

[Celery]

You should pull it more often, Rayne!

[pichubro]

I tested out of the freshman english course too. Currently taking the sophomore level class and it's completely below my level.

If I wasn't a STEM major, college would definitely be easier than high school, though I'm not one to waste time and money by getting a useless degree like Philosophy or Art History. I only chose Computer Science because I did not know what else to take that would pay off in the end. Maybe a teacher if I tolerated kids, or linguistics if the degree guaranteed a job. -_- I love learning about languages, but a four year degree in it? What would I do with that...

[Kirby]

speak all sorts of coolio languages

you could end up as the alien translator for our future starships!

[God]

it is a cool subject though, one of the many things i'm perpetually intending to read more about but never have

[God]

linguistics has nothing to do with learning languages.

[pichubro]

linguistics has nothing to do with learning languages.

I know that.

It just helps to be interested in other languages.

eh I'll be in school in the spring. Veterinary Technology.

[Dogar The Brave]

eh I'll be in school in the spring. Veterinary Technology.

Community colleges offer that? Or is it a state or tech. school?
