psipike02 0 #1 October 4, 2005 No seriously, this is pissing me off. I've been working on this fucking homework assignment for 7 hours and am not even halfway through it. Is there really a reason to make the assignment this hard? I mean, engineering is a bitch in general, but what are professors trying to prove. All this fucking homework is cutting in the way of other things. It's preventing me from jumping. I havent jumped in like 2.5 weeks or something ridiculous. I now have until Oct. 31st to finish my 'A' License qualifications and I'll be damned if I miss the Skydive Arizona boogie and just basically dont jump until march because of not having it...... I haven't had sex in who knows how long......so yeah, sexual frustration is in full effect....Thank God, i'm going on a Barndance Date party with my fraternity wednesday.....I need a break I haven't been able to go to the bar with my friends so i just drink while i do homework....i havent been to the DZ to hang out with everyone and drink there.... All i've been doing is either working and saving money for arizona, stuck in my room or the grad library doing work, or in class...I havent even gotten to hang out with all the new hot ass sorority pledges, let alone our own pledges......it fucking sucks.... I know people say enjoy your college years, and I am, believe you me, but class makes it hard as its supposed to be, i know. I'm just hoping that one day this staying up, sleep deprivation, and starvation will be highly worth it......] Sorry, I had to vent a little.....for those of you who get to jump, make one for me or have a beer for me, or both.....thanks... The one thing I am looking forward to (other than our date party) is the football game this weekend....and possibly jumping afterwards....Puttin' some stank on it. ----Hellfish #707---- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #2 October 4, 2005 QuoteI've been working on this fucking homework assignment for 7 hours and am not even halfway through it. Quoteso i just drink while i do homework... Hmmm.... wonder if the first part has something to do with the second part. Feel your pain ... you could do what I did and just drop out of engineering. I lasted a semester and said "Nah, this shit's not for me." But then again, I didn't even get serious and buckle down in liberal arts till my last two years (and in grad school). I joke about missing school... but I don't miss the homework, that's for sure. Hang in there! Oh, and if you don't finish your A requirements by the end of October due to being too busy or because of weather, why can't you just do it at the Eloy boogie? I'm sure they'd be glad to work with you to knock that out. Then you can buy for all of us at the boogie to celebrate!"There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
udder 0 #3 October 4, 2005 Dude, homework aint the worst shit ever. Least you got an excuse for not having sex. Though at the rate you're going may I suggest a Kleenex sponsorship. Plus I only drink goon, (cheap cask wine that gives you a fucking brutal hangover) beer is a long forgotten luxury... Only 3 years to go."In one way or the other, I'm a bad brother.

Sen.Blutarsky 0 #4 October 4, 2005 Wow, sounds a bit like my undergraduate days at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, except that I also started on a nationally-ranked intercollegiate team, worked two jobs, kept my girlfriend at Albion College relatively happy and hung around with guys monikered "Abbs" who later led our country to a gold medal in the Olympics then pitched in the majors despite only having one hand while, incidently, I was getting my ass kicked by a handful of my fraternity brothers who had greater than 4.0 out of 4.0 gpas and are now the kings of Lincoln Labs, DARPA and Harvard Medical School. Welcome to slackerdom, work harder if you're unsatisfied, you'll have eternity to sleep in a few decades, raise yourself and look up from the rest of the mud for the brief while you are ambulatory and granted the privilege to understand.

polarglitch 0 #5 October 4, 2005 haha.. engineering isnt all that bad. It does get tough, but that's where you hone your study skills just like the way u'd hone ure canopy control. when ure short on cash, u just have to learn fast. my advise? keep beer and work seperate and then have it just before u sleep. Worrkss like a charm. Sleeep like a babyy. and u wake up feeling rejuvanated if u've had just the right amount. Havent had sex in more than a year so i can't help u with that. =)When you come close to losing your life, you learn to value it. I jumped, I survived, I learnt.

popsjumper 2 #6 October 4, 2005 Sounds like Thermodynamics....good luck with that. I like the above saying separate the HW and the Beer. And be glad you aren't a medical major.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

psipike02 0 #7 October 4, 2005 Ok, so when I said I drink, i have like one or two beers when im working, not like a 12 pack And no its not thermodynamics, but close, its aerodynamics and my 300 level aero lab using stats analysis. I guess senior year is just starting to get to me....i'll be here for a 5th year though because of my double with spanish... Thanks everyone for the advice.....and good point about my A license, i guess i could finish in Eloy if I dont get it this month. I've still only had like 2 hours of sleep though... QuoteAnd be glad you aren't a medical major. Good point, i know friends who are and I always contribute to their celebration of finishing the MCAT, i would never be able to take that exam. I did take organic chemistry for fun and as a break from engineering last semester....i really liked it....Puttin' some stank on it. ----Hellfish #707---- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tdog 0 #8 October 4, 2005 Dude, long time, no talk... First, I want to thank you for getting some heat of of me for being the DZ post whore.... Someone the other day said you have posted more than Steve and I....So, I guess he still thinks you are one of the locals... Anyway, you said, QuoteIs there really a reason to make the assignment this hard? I mean, engineering is a bitch in general, but what are professors trying to prove. They are trying to prove that YOU can overcome the greatest challenges and succeed... They are teaching ya... I learned something in school myself... Teachers want to see ya win, not fail... So, if you are taking a disproportionate time in completing one assignment, go ask the instructor for help... "I have spent 4 hours on this... Am I going the right direction?" True story... I suck as learning foreign languages... I went to my college Spanish teacher and asked for help often, proving that I was trying, and explaining first hand why I was not succeeding... I scored Bs on homework assignments and I am sure something much less on the final... I still got an A in the class, and I did not find out until the report card came... In the hall, after the holiday break, the instructor came up to me and said, "the grade was not an mistake. You earned it." The same thing went for Piano class, an elective I took... For the final we had to play a little song. I chose "when the saints go marching in" because it was the hardest... I showed up for my appointment and the instructor said, "you don't need to play, you already got an "A". I saw you the other night practice for three hours from midnight to 3 am thru the glass window on the lab. It is about the journey, not the destination... Now, lets talk about what you learned along the way." So, all I guess I am saying is.... The instructors are giving you a journey (or they suck ass and just want to see you in pain.) T.
