Challenger Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 I know a friend going through all the chemistry.... seems pretty hard.

datsun723 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 My best friend is a chemistry major wanting to get into a medical school. he's not doing all that well lol. i can probably narrow it down to two things. 1. he doesn't get it which i highly doubt since he's a smart guy. 2. DOTA! we both play wayyy too much. however, i'm a communication studies major so i can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fiance just got into IU med in indianapolis, so it looks like I will be moving the z operations down here for a few years. Medical school is a bear, I started out as pred-med, but I realized that I don't want to cut people, don't want to give out penicillin perscriptions all day, and I like Biology/Botany alot more! Anyways, Im not so sure I would want to wait until 27-28 to have time for anything else in my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes a looong time to finally be finished with school! Sure you'll be making bank but you still have to pay off all those loans Gl with the move and the Z! I know as soon as I get out of school I'm getting myself a Mk3 Supra for my dd and putting the Z into "project" mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garvice Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 yup, I've discovered that I really don't want to be an EE. Electrical Engineer? If so, trust me, it is a lot better once you start working. I kept thinking "I should have done Civil" but I was already two years through and couldn't be bothered changing. I learnt more in the first 6 months of working then I did in my four years of uni, and unlike the uni stuff the stuff I learnt at work all makes sense. Just battle through the uni and when your out it will be a lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garvice Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Oh yeah, one more thing for all you budding engineers, LEARN MICROSOFT EXCEL, I don't mean, just know how to do graphs and crap. LEARN as much as you can, just by trial and error etc. Most useful tool to an engineer that isn't his brain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 Yeah my lab physics class required graphs on some of the labs. Like 7-8. I didnt know how to use excel so I did them by hand, and a bunch of guys in the class put it in excel and printed off a set of nice graphs. They got bad grades on the lab since they copied eachothers but their idea was right... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letitsnow Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 One of the first classes I had to take was "engineering graphing and computing", it was an excel and matlab course. We did it in office 03, they switched to 07 the next year and I can't find anything. Electrical Engineer? If so, trust me, it is a lot better once you start working.

My prof. had this incredibly annoying way of introducing new concepts, he'd just start going through the math without giving a macroscopic view of what he was doing. I'd be wondering what he was doing and what it meant and that would distract me from how to do it. It was 2nd order RLC response that really got me on the final. I should check to see what I got, it can't be good. Maybe I'll like it better next semester..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustyfriend Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I have to say that this summer has felt like the shortest summer ever, mainly due to the fact that it rained up here for more than 50% of it. I have been out since May 5th and it has not felt as long as it should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tfreer85 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I'm back in school finally after having dropped out twice now, I'm tired of hitting the "glass ceiling" of not having a degree. That and I'm married now, its not just me goofing off to pay the penalties of said goofing off. Good luck to everyone, get them Degrees !

Anyways, just finished my first day a Gonzaga University. Im taking Statics, Multi-Var Calc, Mech. Eng. Design, Chem 101, Phil 201 and an eng. lecture class. It will be a fun semester and Im sure next will be even better.... Good luck everyone! Now Im off to study. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustyfriend Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Just finished day 2 of sophmore year. Strengths, Chem 1 (with all the freshies), Sports Psych, and Diff EQ.....fun stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilC Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Diff Eq, fun. I miss the days of long hw, hours of reading, 4 hour test and 18 credits...... good luck everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustyfriend Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Diff EQ- Did I mention there is no hw, no final, I can return my $220 textbook, and he drops the lowest text grade. The prof. also seems to be on drugs because he often giggles/laughes like a maniac and when a lawnmower goes by, he stops the lecture and watches it until it leaves his sight.

MAG58 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Ahh... Two days in and my junior year isn't too bad. Microbiology & Lab Orgo Lab Statistics II Greek Philosophy & Composition (ew.) Piano Hopefully the MCAT's wont completely occupy my life, though I fear they will. But alas, I've accepted the fact I will have no friends until I'm hitting the strides of graying hair.
