Besides the main classes, the class I hated the most was Economics. I couldn't stand stand that class because I found it extremely boring. I found myself daydreaming a lot in there. I couldn't wait for class to end. I'll be done very soon. Last edited by PacificTourG; 08/30/06 06:05 AM.

Kinda feel like I'm missing the going away stuff too, but I have friends that are letting me crash at their dorms when I dont have classes the next day

That involves a very long explanation regarding the expectations at my college (failing two courses is common and practically expected), the degree of a failure (they don't go on your transcript) and the accelerated scheduling (7 week terms instead of 14 week semesters). I failed one class a term for three terms and snowflaked a term. (More info. ) Like I said before it involved a LOT of work to pull myself out of that hole, including regular meetings I set up with academic advising my soph year, and my financial aid was damaged badly (read: tons of loans), but since that time I had not failed a class or even done badly in a term. With the help of summer courses, overloading and working more hours a week, which helped me get scheduling together, I was able to graduate on time. Almost graduated with honors as well - only thing stopping me was one professor's screwing a project team over (gave us a bad grade due to circumstances that were his fault - though that's another long story in itself!) The work was well worth it - I have now landed a great job, have my own apartment, and am strongly thinking of taking evening courses in pursuit of my MBA starting next year or so.
