oh you got that right...and since CMSU is rated at one of the top 10 party schools in the nation, there is plenty of that. However, the Geology Lab WILL be a challenge. It's an interesting subject and I like learning about all the different processes, etc, however the instructor (who is from India) doesnt seem to understand the concept of placing material that is in the book or reviewed in class on the tests

Your instructor is just trying to get you ready for life after college where every week is finals week, all the tests are pass/fail, and none of the material is in the book.

Don't get me wrong, it's not all bad. You only have to do that for 50 weeks a year for 40 years, then you get to die.

Enjoy college while you can.

Oh man, what an accurate description.
I'm sure Green_98 thanks you for making him feel better but, now I'm miserable.

I had one of my finals today too. It was over Electrical Motor Controls I and II, and Rotating Machinery. I think I did very well. But I have a PLC's final tommorrow, and something tells me it's going to be a real biotch. But no worries, I'm going to do good. It's all in the mind. Here's to making all A's again this semester. I missed making all A's the last semester buy making one B. But it didn't hurt my GPA any. I'm still holding a 3.8, and have been offered an honors award certificate (Phi Kappa Theta), I think that's what it's called) and all that good stuff. I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would ever make it this far. Boy was I ever wrong...

Oh hell yes!!!

Next year, my junior year, i will begin to get into my Business Management classes and out of these stupid general education classes. Kinda weird how i wake up one day and im in college, then BAM im sitting on the verge of being halfway finished. Were did the time go? Kind of exciting but in a way, no experience can replace the high school and college days.

But get to think about taking Intermediate II, Product Operations Management, Auditing, Tech Writing, and Money & Banking next fall.

Just wait until you're completely done. I just went to my last class on monday... i feel lost. Luckily I'm drowning that lost feeling with Corona. I'm using Cinco de Mayo as my excuse though.
