gotta admire the discipline - i wouldve given up after just hearing how much time it takes
Once again, a reflection of how much time everyone's spent at these forums and how far some of us have come. Congratulations you tight-arsed bastard :icon14:
I hated college in the end. It was like all teachers (except for a handful) were morons who didn't know what they were talking about at all. They had stupid policies and most of the time teachers broke their own rules (being late or not being available at all) If you wanted to slightly deviate from the "rules" (like being late with signing up for next semester's classes, late as in not at least 3 weeks before next semester starts) you had to fill in forms and get it signed by a gazillion people. It was even so bad that I got the invitation for my brother's graduation ceremony (who did the exact same study as I and finished up 2 years ago). Sigh. At least I've left all nonsense behind me now.
