Dammit, got a D+ in one of my classes

[OS]

Have to retake it now :|:|

F*CK i hate going to school. I've gone to school for f*cking 16 years of my life, my god, how many god damn ways can you rehash the same sh!t?? I'm losing motivation because this crap is so damn boring, the professors are boring, the material is boring, my classmates are boring, every GOD DAMN PART of education is f*cking boring my ass to tears.

Why the hell do I have to go through this bullsh!t, which I will forget 90% of, to be employable? It's not even THAT hard, it's just incredibly tedious beyond all belief, to the point where I have basically zero interest in this crap. What a sh!tty system this is. :|:|

 

[Ameesh]

Study harder and think of your end goal.

You should quit and learn how to do nails and get a job at the mall.

<< Study harder and think of your end goal. >>



Sounds good, but school is so damn boring that I don't have the motivation to really study harder.

I mean honestly, I couldn't give a sh!t less if someone wired a cascaded transistor amplifier up my ass.

D+?
that's really good! I'm jealous! (serious)

 

[UCBPride]

maybe you need to change majors

 

[danii8]

better than F

<< that's really good! I'm jealous! (serious) >>



Well, I was raised with the expectation of always doing well in classes. I never got anything lower than a B in any class until I hit college. Then I went to Berkeley and something there really just f*cked me up and I don't do well in school anymore. I feel like something just sucked all of my will away.

Oh well, sucks to be me.

 

[OS]

<< better than F >>



D+ and F are the same as not passing at my school.

Might take a look at the attitude you possess. It can mean everything.

 

[Sluggo]

You will feel much better after doing the same job for over 20 years

 

[OS]

<< maybe you need to change majors >>



I don't think that's the problem, I've been in liberal arts also and I hated that too. Ideally, I have another year to go, so changing majors would set me back like 2-3 years. It's just education in general, I think it's a load of sh!t.

 

[OS]

<< Might take a look at the attitude you possess. It can mean everything. >>



Yeah actually that's the entire problem, my attitude towards education these days is terrible. But I can't really help it because I have zero personal interest in what goes on in the classroom.

It'd be nice if I could just drop out and strike out on my own, but I don't have any ideas

Wonderful, maybe it wasn't such a good thing I didn't die in that massive car wreck I had a few weeks back :|

 

[UCBPride]

take a break. go travel somewhere, go to London, or see the Wonders of the World. After thatgo back to school and maybe you'll appreciate school a little more.

btw, if it makes you feel any better i got an B- in 61B :|

L&amp;S CS? I'd take a B- over a D+ any day.

 

[UCBPride]

yeah but I bet 61B is a whole lot easier

 

[GhettoFob]

Dude, I got a B in 61b also, that class was so jacked up. Disorganized from the start. Took them way too long to grade all our hw/projects.

All of Berkeley is jacked up, the school is way overrated IMO

 

[UCBPride]

yeah, the size of a classes is totally bulls$it and its nowhere as competitive as they say. I know people who got in l&amp;s with just 3.0s!

 

[mackstann]

dude i hear you, i am exactly the same way. i just finished high school, and i refuse to go to college for anything except stuff i truly enjoy (computers, duh). i am just gonna do A+ (cert) sometime here and get me some computer related job.

 

[OS]

<< yeah, the size of a classes is totally bullSht >>



OMG, one time I was a triple digit on a wait list for a math 1B class there :| Going to school there really pissed the crap out of me.

 

[GhettoFob]

Honestly, I think the lectures for most of the classes here are useless. I remeber back when I was taking Lin Alg &amp; Diff Eqs, my midterm scores went up when I stopped going to class. The only purpose the profs serve is just to confuse us.
