Let's Talk About College

The reason I got a BA instead of a BS is that BS required two more math classes. F*ck that!!!!

The recurring nightmare....I have that. I once took a Criminal Justice class, that was SOOOOOO easy(filled with football players......I sat behind one who could barely even print any letters[I kid you not]). Anyway, I'd only show up for the tests, so I only went, like 5 days to it. I still have a dream that I didn't finish it, just because I was never there.

I hear that!!! So sad the lengths I went to to avoid Algebra 115...oh and the only class I ever got a "D" in in high school was geometry. I pretty much just freeze when presented with math

I haven't actually had the theme in my dream in a while..now that I've brought it up it'll probably figure prominently in my dreams tonight. Hope not...but glad to know I'm not the only one with school related dreams....and this is more than two years after finishing school...

I'm great at math, UP TO A POINT!
In high school, I dropped Trig, in my senior year. I took it about 3 days, and was getting lost quickly....my best friend's Dad was the teacher, and HE dropped it! If HE could, then I reasoned that I could, too(I'd already been accepted to IU, so f*ck it).

I think GPA in college is really only important if you're considering graduate school. I went back to college when I was 28 and finished at 36 years old (heh) with a 3.79. Now, I'm in my first year of graduate school. Otherwise, D stands for Diploma, right?

I was accepted to FSU's graduate program but chose to stay in North Carolina.

Well even that depends on where you're going to grad school - I'd probably go back to NMSU or to some state school...so I'd still be able to get in without an outstanding gpa...and I will go back to grad school someday...it's a glimmer at this point, but definitely in the books
