Better yet, see if you can demote her from GF status to "Friends with benefits"...on call only.

Yeah, I am in the process of getting burnt out......

My class schedule:

Theory of Computation (finite state machines, automata theory, complexity theory)
Design of Experiments (advanced stats for science and engineering)
CSI 3 (abstract data types, graphs, red black trees, etc)
Software Engineering Principles

Not too bad actually......

Trust me, it can't be done. Im in too deep. She even emailed me a google calender for the two of us with dates and occasions filled. According to the google calender, I dont have a weekend available for the next six months, and Im gonna be dead broke in three months.

Second day of classes for me and Im already tired. Between 5 classes, PT internship, a gf, working out, and trying to manage a social life at the same time, Im dead tired already.

BTW, Im taking:

Cost Accounting
Auditing
Decision Science
Ideas in Writing
Accouting Practicum

Hehehe, I am a Cost Accountant. :p:D

Seriously? You're an accountant? If so, Im changing majors.

:laugh: Yes, I'm serious.


Psychology major, here I come

Ah Psychology...one of the few professions where you can work for years with a client, make absolutely zero progress, yet still make loads of money.

Psychology majors make lots of money? I thought it was psychiatry majors that made the money. I think psychology majors make something like $30K-$35K right out of college. Psychology majors are the joke in the college I thought.

Industrial Psych is really lucrative.
Think of the consultants in Office Space. ;)

They figure out ways to streamline companies. Many times it comes down to cutting people out. But you have to go to get a Masters for that.

same.

Now I crave learning stuff

Not only that, but I get tired of hearing people piss and moan about "how hard it is"
Please. These guys have a weird sense of "hard" and a warped sense of "stress".

Structures and Design
Structural Materials
Statistics, Probability and Reliability
Fluids, Waves, Thermodynamics, and Optics

Class every day, MWF@8 and TTH@9 to start. Blech. It's alright though, after this summer where I moved out and had to pay for everything, I am looking forward to getting back to school. Thankfully it doesn't start 'till the 21st. :D

I don't go back to school until the end of September but I'm already dreading it. I graduated with my BS in computer science in June but decided to go back to graduate school. I'm also working full time as a developer so between full time school and full time work I don't think I'll have any free time. I thought turning 21 would be more fun than this.

My schedule got fvcked. I'm only signed up for 9 hours right now. And I can't take classes in the afternoon because I work full time. Oh well, hopefully Wake won't care that I'm only taking 9 hours :p This sure would be an easy semester though if they let it happen :)

Many of us live in the "real world" while going to school full time.

I can take the gf off your hands, like we could work out a schedule. I get her MWF, you get her the rest of the week?

School was harder. Real world is cake -- No homework. I hated homework. And I can work at a job where I don't have to do BS like write an argumentative essay about a period in time I don't care about so I can prove core competencies. It's as difficult as you want it, rather than (trying to be) a standard level of difficulty to attain a degree.

It's just the homework that kills me. 35 hours at work a week and taking 15 credits of classes doesn't bother me. Having to do homework at the end of the day does.

Thats if they can find a job. They're something like 50 gazillion pysch majors at every school so there's a huge oversupply. Look it up, its a fact.
