    Greetings and salutations, all! 'Tis i, the mysterious Auslander! >.>

    okay, so some of you may be able to remember back to the long long ago when i started the High School Research Paper thread... yes yes yes, it was a fine and dandy thread that spawned a multitude (and by multitude, i mean one) of copycat threads. anyway, i've graduated, and it's time to move on.

    *big dramatic music*

    so here it is! the college crap thread! if you're a college student...or are going to be entering college...or have graduated from college...or have the world "college" in your personal vocabulary, come on down and post something (let's try to keep it relevant).

    to start off, no sooner than when i sit down to work today than did i get an idea. you see, my friend Muhammed (Chris) had informed me of an unexpected surprise related to passing the AP exam in the spring. so, i checked my transcript and found a surprise. during high school, i had been dually-enrolled to knock out English Comp I and II, and that had given my six credits to start with. i knew that. ^.^ but what i didn't know was that when i passed the AP exam for Calc I, (4 out of 5--congratulate me!), my school gave me 10 credits for it! so i entered college with 16 credits! basically, that's a whole semester.

    i know for you overachievers out there, that isn't a lot. but i'm only taking 15 (or 16...i forget) credits this semester. turns out that now i will have time to take a few more math classes (and not surrender my german courses) and get a bachelor's degree in both physics [bold]and[/bold] math! sweetness! i'm all ...happy...and...stuff.

    anyway, if you've visited my user page, you've seen that i'm in the dorms and whatnot...now you're all up to date on my life. post away, my minions.

    It took me 5 years to get my 4 year degree because I spent more time in the student union playing Spades, pool and ping pong...but I had a great time, I also got a degree in Business Administration which I have yet to use in the 10 years after my graduation.

    well, i'm back from Philosophy: Intro to Logic. interesting subject, but kind of drawn out. i'm very much looking forward to get out of the 1000s classes and into the 2000s, 3000s, etc.

    good to hear that college is going well aus. now get your butt back here so we can hang out. lol all that aside, i love college. i get out every day @ 11:50 except on mondays when i have my chem lab, freaking sweet. love the whole idea of free roaming, beats the hell out of high school. i like my classes for the most part i suppose, though one of my teachers foams at the mouth when she talks (no kidding) so thats kinda distracting. lol aside from that all is well. well bhye kids im off to work, ugh. id rather be at college.

    no, it's not easier...you have to be an adult. if you go to a reputable school or take challenging classes (and no matter what level you're on, you're classes should [bold]always[/bold] be a challenge, as that's how you grow), it's going to be just as hard or harder.

    school will only ease up on you if you stop stretching to your full potential.

    Was going to college for animation and programming but, that's on hold. :(

    I'm probably going to New Orleans in a few months to get a job. I live in a small town in VA and there are [bold]no[/bold] jobs here for the college student...well, fast food but, $5.15-5.25/hr isn't sh*t when gasoline is $2.79/gl and the college I go to is about 20 miles from my home.

    Atleast I got to enjoy one semester.

    Wow, I haven't posted in forever. I'm in my second week of college. Just a little community college until I transfer. I'm going for a degree in Accounting and probably will eventually minor in Environmental Science. I'm actually leaving in about a half hour to go to Honors Shakespeare and I regret signing up for it too . . .

    Well Aus, I don't know whether we are leaving tonight or tomorrow night, but if you can hang out before 6 or 7 that would be good. I'll be home most of the day, so give me a call! I'll be doing mostly college homework today.
