[12:43] !King_Amazon!: I'll have to go to school 4 nights a week after work, plus an online writing class, plus possible an organic chemistry lab if I can get into one

[12:43] !King_Amazon!: possibly, even

[12:46] !King_Amazon!: If I do happen to get into the organic chemistry lab, it's on saturdays from 8:00 AM to 11:50 AM. Teh suxxors.

[13:36] Willkillforfood: KA, it's gonna take you forever to graduate if you're working full-time during :x

[13:38] System: D3V has left the chat

[13:39] System: D3V has joined the chat

[13:39] D3V: Nah, that's not true. I work fulltime now and am taking two classes, next semester it will be easy enough to take four classes as well as stay full time. I'll just be going to class much earlier.

[13:40] System: Thanatos has joined the chat

[13:40] Thanatos: uhhhh.. nuhhhh.... nuhh.hhhhhhhhhh OH GOD

[13:40] Willkillforfood: If you average 3 classes a semester, then you'll graduate in like 13 semester

[13:40] Willkillforfood: semesters

[13:40] Willkillforfood: or 6.5 years

[13:40] Willkillforfood: with a bachelor's

[13:41] Thanatos: yo who cares

[13:42] Willkillforfood: Thanatos, stfu before I headshot you nigga

[13:43] System: Grav has joined the chat

[13:43] Grav: im a full time student and its still gonna take me forever to graduate

[13:44] Willkillforfood: yea but you want to be a professor, niqqa

[13:44] Willkillforfood: I've got 2 years left.

[13:44] D3V: 4 classes is fulltime pud, not 3.

[13:44] D3V: but still, I see your point.

[13:44] Grav: I'm not even talking about grad school

[13:44] Grav: just undergrad

[13:45] Grav: D3V, 3 classes can be full time. 3 4 cr. classes

[13:45] D3V: yeah my undergrad will take me about another 6 years as well. LOL.

[13:46] D3V: oh yes, true in a university. I don't think they even offer any 4cr classes at the CC i'm enrolled at.

[13:46] Willkillforfood: I've had a 5 credit hour class before

[13:46] Grav: they have 6 cr. classes here >_<

[13:47] Willkillforfood: I'd have to do the time value charts, but you can see if it'd be more logical to take time to goto school or go into debt

[13:47] Willkillforfood: take time and work^

[13:48] Grav: it's 3 lectures and 5 discussions a week

[13:48] Grav: crazy

[13:48] D3V: blargh.

[13:48] Grav: next semester im taking five 3000 level engineering classes

[13:48] Grav: so that should be interesting.

[13:49] D3V: that'll be interesting.

[13:49] D3V: i'm assuming you'll be slammed with work 24/7

[13:49] Willkillforfood: My bro's taking 6 300 and 400 level engineering classes

[13:49] Willkillforfood: He doesn't have a life

[13:52] System: Thanatos has left the chat

[13:53] Grav: at what school wkff

[13:53] Willkillforfood: University of Kentucky

[13:54] Willkillforfood: he's EE

[13:54] Grav: engineering here is just ridiculous in general

[13:55] Willkillforfood: lol, either way, it's a tough subject

[13:56] Grav: I can almost guarantee its about twice as hard here

[13:56] Grav: they just rape us

[13:57] D3V: lol.

[13:57] Willkillforfood: I don't really think anyone can say unless you observe lectures.

[13:57] Willkillforfood: and exams

[13:58] Grav: trust me

[13:58] Grav: I can say this

[13:58] Grav: lol

[13:58] Willkillforfood: He must be learning decently, he's worked for 3 years for the largest private energy company in the world

[13:58] Willkillforfood: :P

[13:58] Willkillforfood: well, coal company^

[13:59] Willkillforfood: My bad.

[13:59] Willkillforfood: Could have worked for exxon though

[13:59] System: D3V has left the chat

[14:01] Grav: yeah no doubt

[14:01] Grav: the payoff here is international recognition of the degree

[14:01] Grav: and networking basically

[14:01] Willkillforfood: WHere do you go?

[14:02] Grav: cornell

[14:03] System: Xenn has joined the chat

[14:03] Xenn: oooh cornell

[14:03] Xenn: easiest to get in hardest to get out they say

[14:03] Willkillforfood: When did you get in there?

[14:03] Xenn: not that its easy to get in at all

[14:04] Grav: this is my first semester

[14:04] Willkillforfood: Is that what you were doing all that bullshit extracurricular work for? :P

[14:04] Grav: no

[14:05] Grav: but the workload here is the highest tier in the country for engineers

[14:05] Grav: its just soul crushing

[14:05] Xenn: i have a friend who goes to cornell

[14:05] Willkillforfood: Have fun with it :P

[14:05] Xenn: he says its a bitch

[14:08] Willkillforfood: grav, what type of engineering are you?

[14:11] System: !King_Amazon! has joined the chat

[14:11] !King_Amazon!: WKFF, I'm going to school full time in addition to working full time.

[14:12] !King_Amazon!: I'm pretty much taking as many classes as I can, due to pre-reqs

[14:12] Willkillforfood: that sucks man

[14:12] Willkillforfood: Do you have time at work to work on the homework?

[14:12] Willkillforfood: or read?

[14:12] !King_Amazon!: Well, I'm an hour shy of full time

[14:12] !King_Amazon!: I find time at work to do homework

[14:12] !King_Amazon!: Otherwise I stop sleeping

[14:13] !King_Amazon!: It's hard, but I get it done.

[14:13] !King_Amazon!: Not working full time isn't really an option for me, unless I find a really good paying part time job, which I've considered

[14:14] Willkillforfood: I'm doing the lazy way of taking on debt to do it. Plus my parents are gracious enough to help some.

[14:14] Xenn: is it possible to just vomit from stress

[14:14] Willkillforfood: well, plus scholarships.

[14:14] !King_Amazon!: This semester I took Chemistry II, Chemistry II lab, Trig, and Engineering Computing (MATLAB and C++)

[14:14] !King_Amazon!: I'll have straight A's in all of them

[14:14] !King_Amazon!: I'm too stubborn to care how hard things get

[14:14] Willkillforfood: Xenn, sounds like you're having a good time with finals.

[14:15] Xenn: ugh

[14:15] Xenn: i started working at 5 yesterday

[14:15] Xenn: i took 3 30 minute naps since then, and took an exam

[14:15] Xenn: otherwise its been straight work

[14:15] Xenn: and i still have to write a paper by 8

[14:15] Willkillforfood: Are you having your finals now?

[14:16] Xenn: sort of.. i have 2 next monday, 2 now, and all the other work this week

[14:16] !King_Amazon!: Procrastination is what made things hard for me, but I've been working on that a lot

[14:16] !King_Amazon!: I rarely feel "stressed" by school anymore lately

[14:16] Willkillforfood: same KA, I procrastinate.

[14:17] Xenn: i wouldnt mind working a lot but its like impossible to get good grades in some classes

[14:17] !King_Amazon!: I'm a little stressed about finals next week, but only because I'm going to be camping this weekend so my study time is limited

[14:17] Willkillforfood: Xenn, that kicks ass you're about done though

[14:17] Willkillforfood: Our finals aren't for another 2 weeks.

[14:17] !King_Amazon!: Xenn, the harder a class is the better I do

[14:17] Xenn: yeah for 1 quarter

[14:17] !King_Amazon!: If I had a class that was "impossible" to do well in I would have an A

[14:17] Xenn: i cant compete with these asian kids in my econ class

[14:17] Xenn: if they drop below a 3.8 gpa they get deported, no joke

[14:17] Xenn: well not deported but their country stops paying for them to come here

[14:17] Willkillforfood: rofl

[14:18] Xenn: i put in 15 hours a problem set on econ and im getting a B-

[14:18] Willkillforfood: you're at chicago right?

[14:18] !King_Amazon!: They have nothing to do with you.

[14:18] Xenn: yeah

[14:18] Xenn: curve busters!

[14:18] Grav: im civil & environmental eng

[14:18] Willkillforfood: You don't even have to do THAT well at university of chicago

[14:18] !King_Amazon!: Hah!

[14:18] Willkillforfood: and you'll have a job guaranteed

[14:18] Xenn: i dont plan on it :P

[14:18] Xenn: my target gpa is 3.3

[14:19] Willkillforfood: you gonna work and get your mba later?

[14:19] Grav: !K_A! you should transfer if you're unhappy at your school

[14:19] Xenn: well anyways

[14:19] !King_Amazon!: I think I'm at like a 3.8 right now because I sucked ass for my first two semesters

[14:19] Xenn: gotta go to track now

[14:19] !King_Amazon!: Who said I'm unhappy?

[14:19] Xenn: then paper.. then drinking!

[14:20] Grav: they say if you get a 2.8 here you should put it on your resume

[14:20] Grav: because that's still really good

[14:21] Willkillforfood: Think my bro's one of the better out of his program. He's got a 3.9

[14:21] Willkillforfood: But same with Xenn, asian kids dominate it :x
