My semester ends in two weeks. The Fall semester begins on the 3rd of September.

Fucking car registration and a round of textbooks and rent at the same time. Ugh.

My classes start Oct 1st officially, though I need to get to London on Sept 18th. Lots of coursework and a 2-semester long masters project that will probably rape me. Currently doing some reading to help my background for it.

Got 2 exams on the 12th and 13th of Sept though, then I've got the GRE's and TOEFL somewhere around Oct and Nov, assuming I don't take the TOEFL this month.

another month for i

i had a terrible dream last night that i failed two of my classes last semester, but in the dream i realized i didn't actually take one of the classes i'd supposedly failed

that dream has happened to me so many times in the last few years that I'm starting to wonder if it was reality and I just can't remember it. I did have this one class in 8th grade that I can't remember attending more than once or twice and don't remember dropping it either. shits wacked

I had an atmospheric physics course (which I need to study for) thought it was pretty meh and deferred the exam to September as I was neck deep in other courses. The only reason I took it was for the chapters on dynamics and radiative transport, but due to time constraints (prof got ill) we only really covered the thermodynamics bit which I found

Way to crush the hopes of an eager student.

My dislike for the subject is just personal taste.

Lavabug · Post by **Lavabug** » 08 Aug 2012, 04:08

I hope it is more entertaining than my course.

My next (last) year has the biggest proportion of neat courses in my whole bachelors:

Stellar Physics

Astronomical Spectroscopy

General Relativity (for Math students)

Quantum Mechanics II

Nuclear & Particle Physics

Physical Cosmology / Space Plasma & Magnetospheres / Solar Physics (need to choose)

Electronics

Project (msc)

wow looks you guys have pretty interesting sort of education over their in your countries.

Here its all fucked up mostly engineering and business studies are most boring ones. Apparently here Ive never seen anyone feeling proud of what they are studying like some of you guys do.

Ive opted for mechanical engineering, i do have a bit interest in it, other than like 90% of engineering student just got into for money and increased competition. I wish i'd had a chance to acquire engineering from some other country. But i do get out of this fucked up place for masters degree.

My first semester will be starting from 17, but i am not even a bit excited. :chetty:

if i could do it over i'd do electrical engineering, because money

I haven't registered for classes because I thought I'd have a shipout date by now but apparently not because my ASVAB date keeps getting pushed back

I'll probably register sometime next week.

but here its pretty different, way too much theoretical knowledge, difficult level of tests because of competition even if most of our population is illiterate still the remaining gives tough competition because of lack of educational institutions(our government dont even spend 5% of their money on education).

And yes the most interesting part most of the teachers in our country are those people who became teacher because they were not able to do any thing else in life, only a college professor can have a good income, so yes the high schools a fuck up totally and colleges are next and some private universities are just mediocre.

college was a nightmare for me, was much happier before i went. spent most of my 20s there which i'm glad i did but wish i'd went earlier
