    today marks the end of scheduled maintenance—two guys with two weeks to kill and a few hundred hours later, we're finally [mostly] done.
    page loads/image downloads should be dramatically faster. until we hit 1gbps, at least. to all of my wonderful and ungrateful users: "you're welcome."
    (note: there are still a few other things i'll be working on so expect intermittent downtime)
    ps: thanks so much to mvb for all of the help and support.

    52 KB ITT: We talk about being back at school Anonymous 01/13/09(Tue)03:14:09 No.2753305  
    Spring semester is here. No, I do not go to Yale. State University student here. Disappointed with my new classes this term. Feeling uncomfortable. Not important, but there is also a lack of eye candy. It is freezing outside with tons of snow and my winter break was not much fun to top it all off. The list goes on.

    What about the rest of /r9k/?

    Not back yet. Santa Fe has brutal winters and trying to run the school during the worst of it would be a futile waste of heating bills. As such, inordinately long break.

    That said, I'm getting sick of sitting around.

    I'm not fond of school. I don't like someone telling me what to think.

    I was sick of sitting around too. However, my first three classes seem like a ridiculous amount of work and the professors are already boring me and these are only classes for my minor! Hopefully, the two classes I took towards my major will be better.

    I badly wish I was in school, but I'm not well enough to go back this semester. I miss it already.

    First day back to classes.

    My friggin University is blocking my schedule and stopping me from paying. They claim they don't have a final transcript from my undergraduate institution. So I'm going to fall a week behind in my P.HD. work trying to get things sorted out by friday. I already faxed a request to have a new transcript sent Monday morning, but who knows when it'll get here.

    Of course, they won't lift the hold until the transcript shows up. Ugh. It sucks.

    I hate the fact that I start class at 11am but have to wake up at 7am to take my brothers to school.

    Thankfully I still have all of this week off unlike them.

    Other than that I'm actually looking looking forward to school.

    Where and for what do you attend graduate school, if you don't mind me asking?

    My whole school is a sausage fest
    FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU-
    Still, looking forward to getting back into classes

    I don't start back up until next Monday. I'm taking 15 hours; 7 of them will be brutal for sure, 6 will probably be relatively easy, and the other 2 remain TBD.

    The 2 potentially easy classes are outside of my small major; maybe I'll be able to meet some new people, woohoo (not that I personally know many of them in my major, I just know *of* them)

    So far things are looking fine for my last semester.

    Taking a Japanese History as an extra just because i need some more hours. Smartest mover ever out of the 12 people there are 7 guys 5 girls. All of the girls are at least cute, with one red head who is so fine I would put my tongue up her butt. All of the guys but me are fat nerds, so while I'm an average guy elsewhere, compared to the rest in this class I'm cassafuckingnova.

    I'm making the transition from community college to university soon.

    I have to set up my student loans, get an apartment, move all of my shit, and adapt to a whole new way of schooling in the next month.

    It's going to be hectic, but it will be worth it.

    Starting next week. Getting my schedule for the semester tomorrow.

    I haven't gone out ever since my semester ended. That was on December 22. I have a fucked up sleeping schedule because of the break; I wake up at midnight and go to sleep at 12. I'm gonna enjoy going back to uni because I get to see my only 2 friends who are almost as introverted as I am (which means they don't go outside either so we never see each other on breaks), however I'm gonna hate the workload uni will bring me.

    Tired of sitting on my ass here doing nothing, but I'm gonna miss it a few hours after I start my classes.

    I pretty much did the same thing last semester. It was not that rough. As a matter of fact, I am doing better at university than I did at community college.

    I only have three classes but enough credits to maintain being a full-time student. Two should be relatively easy assuming I put in the effort and do the work; the other should be a bit more pressure but I'm certainly up to the task because I got an A in the precursor. I'm also starting an undergrad research position which should be exciting as fuck, and hopefully won't gobble up too much time.

    The last 2-3 semesters I've had class start around 11am every day of the week, but this semester I start around 9 and end before 1pm most days. It should be nice to actually experience an afternoon again.

    Congrats.

    A lot people I know said they would do that(community college then transfer) but 70% never even made past the first semester freshman year.

    Thank you. To be honest it took me a while. The community college system is blatantly set up to keep milking people for tuition for as many years as possible. The counselors and transfer advisors at the school had the deadly combination of knowing jack shit about how to successfully transfer and recommending tons of unneeded general ed bullshit classes. Due to that, people would often stay there for 6 years or more, if at all they left. Universities would probably do the same, except that having students kick around for 15 years without graduating would destroy their reputations.

    To date, I'm one of only a handful of people that actually managed to leave. I feel like one of those people that actually managed to leave their tiny inescapable farm town for bigger and better things.

    Trust me, after seeing the terrifying academic casualty rates at community college, I feel VERY lucky.
