college can suck for this very reason

ive gotten about 8 hours of sleep since sunday, because ive been in the labs at my school working on several final projects that are due today, friday...by noon. I've put a total of about 30 hours into one of these projects. probably another 30 between the other two.
its 4:30 am, suddenly...the campus network goes down, people go crazy...screaming yelling angry. A mob of close to 100 people are going to every computer in the open buildings on campus...none of them work. Noone will be able to access any of there information from there projects at all.
its 5:00 am network still down. It starts to dawn on people that they are fucked. No way to get to there work at all.
its 5:44 am
i realize i cant do anything about it...cept enjoy some nitrous and some amphetamines and valium and then go back to the lab to stare at a box that says 'connection unavailable', untill the sun comes up, and i can go complain to the people that run the network here.
what a nightmare!!

what's your major man? i had 3 projects due yesterdays and had all sorts of computer problems as well like i did it all in wordprocessor because i don't have ms word and goddamn microsoft owns the schools and not one fucking computer has anything but word so i couldn't open any of my work so i had to run to target copy and print them all there, not to mention the fuckin batteries dying on my cam 10mins before class when the project was due and i still had like 20 pics to upload to much reliance on technology. i'm doing botany though so all my projects were actually intersting and stuff i wanted to do goodluck next week with the finals!

bleh, sorry to hear that man. i can't write papers on the computer anymore because i get distracted too easily, i.e. looking at the shroomery, changing music, looking at boobies which seem to quit abundant on the internet these days. i usually have to lock myself in a room at the library with no stimuli for a few hours.

just wait till you start having to do research assistanships and internships. You end up putting in 12 hours a week for 3 hours of credit, without getting paid for shit. You are actually paying them. 'Internship" is just another word for 'slavery'. They have you in the ultimate captivity, because they know that if you dont do exactly what you're told, you won't get your degree requirement... And you know they save the shittiest work for interns...

im a junior at university of maine just started major in Art for my B.A.
can't say I'm very comfortable with it, but I guess its my best choice cuz I don't know what the fuck else to do and am afraid of getting pigeonholed into a specific career. trying to academically learn something as open-ended as art is annoying and half the time i feel like im just wasting my time... oh well, i'll have a bachelors and I guess thats what matters.
my classes are pretty easy though.. they feel like highschool level courses. i need more of a challenge.. but I might be transferring to a school in Sanfransisco this spring which will probably kick my ass

I tell everyone to never ever go to college, because primarily it SUCKS. Having a real job and going to skewl full time is like really having two jobs; and if you have kids? FUGGETABOUTIT!!! I have a BS in Business Admin with a Conc. in M.I.S., I walked for graduation over a year ago. But since I took some classes at two different Community Colleges I had to jump through some hoops before I finally got my DEGREE this year. Im so happy I don't have to go to skewl anymore. Its just I have all this extra time now that I usually spend fornicating women! Other than that I still have NIGHTMARES about once a week and they involve going to skewl. THe nightmare always envolves me just starting a 25 page Mid Term or Final paper or presentation the midnight before it is due at 12pm the following lunch time. When I wake-up and realize that it was only a dream I jump for JOY, although I do refer to them as nightmares because I've never had more anxiety than writing a paper that was due soon.

yeah.. community college is a joke. and i realize it will be tough as shit at UF. I went to a private school that really really prepped you for college, so i know what hard work is. I went to public school my last semester of senior year cause i got kicked out .public school was a breeze. i will make it to Uf cause of going to valencia community college. they are required to take you if you want to transfer.. just have to have good enough grades to be able to get into the degree program of your choice.

damn dude!!! I hope that your professors will understand the situation, it was a failure on the college's part after all.
awesome that you had some nitrous to enjoy, I'll take a wippet to the face for ya right now for some good karma
-------------------- Annnnnnd I had a light saber and my friend was there and I said "you look like an indian" and he said "you look like satan" and he found a stick and a rock and he named the rock ooga booga and he named the stick Stick and we both thought that was pretty funny. We got eaten alive by mosquitos but didn't notice til the next day. I stepped on some glass while wading in the swamp and cut my foot open, didn't bother me til the next day either....yeah it was a good time, ended the night by buying some liquor for minors and drinking nips and going to he diner and eating chicken fingers, and then I went home and went to bed.

School is a joke, I am dealing with the same thing but I go to trade school instead, I am trying to get my degree in Computer Technology...it is a big pain in the ass, how in the fuck to I supposed to learn to program shit in visual basic when I can't get past the computer literacy part, they ask so many specific questions it is a complete joke, I know how to run a lot of the programs, but they ask too many specific questions...I think I might look into something that I understand more...
