I wasn't about to go to college for an entire summer semester for 3 credits ... so I balled up and did 21.


I was in class M-Tr, 8am till 6pm ... break for 1 hour, then do homework till 2am. Friday's weren't as bad, but I was in class from 8am till noon.

I got sick, I was tired, it snowed, it rained, it was -40 degrees ... I never missed a beat. Totally worth it.
I envy you.

coding in C++
coding in .Net
coding in .asp
coding in .php
writing 20 page papers every 2 weeks
writing 5 page papers every week
delivering countless presentations

I think I even built a web checkout cart within MS Excel and plug-ins.

It got to the point where I was so comfortable speaking, that I just didn't care anymore. I completely nailed a job interview and was hired with 2 weeks before finals.



Now, I'm paid by the man to deliver stupid pictures on HAN. I don't use a damn bit of my previous education and people report to me.

I <3 USA.

Mid terms was last week for me.
I'm about 1/2 week behind in homework because the teacher I have for my 3 hard classes decided to pile it on the same day, give a test a few days later and make two huge hard projects due a week later.

I miss school. I feel like I am no longer learning as much as I could be...but I don't want to rack up more loans/debt/bills.

Scriptwriting 121.5 out of a possible 125 points thus far.
Recording Technology 60 points out of a possible 50, I got all the extra credit points.

Next semester I have an internship with a radio station, and I am taking Voice & Articulation for radio.
