That's supposed to be great program! I thought about applying, but I wanted to work in the wine business for a little first (I was living in Portland at the time) and I couldn't get any winemakers, importers or even merchants to hire me.

How do you like the program?

I like it, the only thing is I'm doing the extension so I gotta watch my classes on disk and the teacher is a very boring, unattractive old bull dyke who says ummm every 20secs.. Kinda drives me nuts to watch like 20hrs of this shit for each test... They do switch teachers for different subjects.. but wow they coulda got some hottie who's not even a teacher to read the script and I'd be able to stay awake a little better... But it's better than being in a class... I wrote my exams at 2am with a beer and a joint... and the way it's done, it's almost impossible to cheat 'cause whatare ya gonna do fast forward the lectures till ya find the answer?!? You'd learn anyways... so basically you gotta do it... and for 2g's per semester ya might as well learn.. there's 5 semesters.. Actually the first one is 700$ then the rest are 2g's... And you have to have college level chemistry to get in...

Damn. Sounded good until I hit the chemistry part. I get the concepts, but I'm terrible at actually doing it, I can't tell a mol from a mole. My grandfather was a chemist, he developed new polymers. I think he was always a little disappointed about that.

Nah, he was working for a paint company. Worked for em for 25 years, came up with a bunch of new stuff for them, they own all of it. Life's a bitch.

I should take another run at chemistry, even if just because chemistry is so fundamental to how everything works. I'd like to understand it better.

USE your college years to LEARN.... even if you don;t learn from your SCHOOL.. learn about being free... learn about how little you need to survive... learn about being NAKED in the world.. and learn to trust that everything is perfect... be nice to woman and shag them....

and definitely spend a lot of time perfecting your frisbee game..

If you have even MINIMAL writing skills, I recommend taking pictures and writing magazine articles.... choose any topic that is dear to your heart and just start writing short articles and submitting them to papers and magazines...

this will open doors for you in almost every industry .. when you are ready to CHOOSE...... or more accurately, when the oppurtunity becomes apparent...

That's good stuff, GK. You don't have to stop doing that kind of thing when you graduate either. Feed your head!
