school sucks

[hjeepxj]

Yeah, school does suck, but work sucks more. I have done both.

 

[XJawgi]

whats thermodynamics?

 

[KY Chris]

just curious as to what you were studying?

BS Biology
MS Toxicology
PhD Toxicology
PhD Pharmacology

 

[XJawgi]

haha well thats quite an accomplishment. Do you do lab work or do you work in a pharcmacy?..or neither? My buddy is about to have a bs in chemistry and hes going for his masters in chemistry and they are paying him like 20g's a year to go to school.

Hahahaha

1st :cheers: to Hunter... wisdom from the mouth of babes.

2nd :cheers: to Chris for the Phd in documenting ill-advised habits

3rd :cheers: to NCSUCherokee... I learned too much about bituminous pavement in a building just like that by a non-good english speaking Indian Dr Kohsla. It was worth $3000 gross salary just to STFU and learn so I did. He knew his topic... getting it across in North Carolinian was lacking...

4th: Thumbs down to anyone who can't "learn" from a teacher. If it is a >< thing, transfer out... don't make yourself or your peers suffer. At the JHS/HS level kids are some captive within their classes, but in college, I can recall several students who merited a piano wire surprise quiz...

No. Pharmacists go to Pharmacy shcool and get PharmDs. Pharmacologists design the drugs, we don't dispense them. I work in air pollution prevention and air toxics.

 

[XJawgi]

Ah i see, just taught me something i didnt know.

 

[KY Chris]

:cheers: to Woody for encouraging my personal pursuits of scientific/chemical pursuits. A man wise beyond his years, for sure!
Woody is one of the most interesting and intelligent people i've met.

 

[woody]

I am available for beta trials under certain (clandestine) circumstances.

I don't claim 'wise' but I will claim 'adventurous'

 

[spazegun2213]

Yea, school is not meant to be easy, no shit, but there is no reason to be impossible. Either way, i cant transfer, i can drop, all i can do is stick it out and hope the grade is better than a C.

I know i will not fail this class, its just a pain in the ass.
The class is cs 332 Operating Systems.

meh, school is fun.. but some profs...

 

[What Rd]

whats thermodynamics?

thermo = heat
dynamic = wild movements

so thermodynamics is the study of hot chicks on the dancefloor

:lecture:

duh!
what did you study in school?

:cheers:

 

[Beej]

I guess I am one of 'those' profs/teachers. Thanks for reminding me what slackoffs students can be. I just finished rewriting tomorrow's quiz for some juniors in philosophy. Hopefully it will provoke some thought and some study habits for the next term... The last question, a 50 point essay question, just one word: "Why?"
They have four pages and an hour to answer it. And the best part, I don't have to be there to give the quiz or mark it, I'll just get a teaching assistant to do it . Bwahahahahahahahah!
B.

 

[XJawgi]

haha well looks like i found a new major if thats the case.

Are you a college prof?

is a thermonamic-based defense representable in a red-state court of law?

 

[Bent]

Yuk, I cannot drink that crap anymore. Hard stuff makes me very ill..... blame that on the 80's.

The 80's didn't exist, a myth, and I can prove it!

 

[Yucca-Man]

Why not, of course! Unless you are Sir Edmund Hillary, in which case you can use, "Because it was there" as your answer.

 

[Lawn Cher']

you dont know hard until you take thermodynamics with an Asian professor that got his Ph.d from MIT, and doesnt speak much english

That explains my grade in Controls... try saying LaPlace Transform with a Chinese accent.

OTOH, I had an Indian professor for a Materials & Manufacturing class named Dr Tirupathi R Chandrupatla, with a good sense of humor. Many of my classmates were bored to tears, but I listened intently as he peppered his lectures with subtle jokes... "Tomorrow we shall study boring, which shall prove most interesting."

 

[Beej]

Ah Jim, the only A++ in the bunch! You earned it, "why not" was my right answer all along. Perfect score. Funnily enough, the only one who got it was the kid who's doing the worst in the class right now. Hie totalled the rest of the quiz but aced the 50 pointer. He probably wrote "why not" as a "screw you" to me, but hey, it deserves an A+, 50 out of 50....

Industrial Hygienist, myself. Better working conditions through chemistry...
