Ugh... felt like I could puke

[HAL9000]

Well, started my first full day of my last semester today... and right off the bat, we get an assignment... the instructor is explaining the assignment and I'm TOTALLY lost... just that sick feeling in the gut... well, figured I had to pull out old assignments to review and such and ask questions after. Anyway, the instructor left at the end of the class.... it was good to hear that everyone else was just as, if not more confused, than I was.

man that sucks....

Well... this is where it was good to keep EVERYTHING, and keep it all organized so it's easy to reference later. Been doing some reading tonight and it's slowly making sense again.

[MaxRat]

yea I know how that goes...

You know I caught that show on TV you might be smarter than a 5th grader and I thought that I really dont know the stuff they do. I once did like many others but it just never stuck and it was on to more important things... seems to me how easily things slip our minds when they dont seem as important as they should.

My last 3 years of high school i went to a Career-Center part of high school and I took Automotive class I kept my notebook from that class where I got an A+ the whole 3 years Plus the additional summer High-Performance Classes... surprisingly that stuff all stuck but seeing the book on the shop bench is still a cool thing...

every page in a protector wrap....

That's quite intense, MaxRat. Are we just a little obsessive?


yeh Hal, probably noone was ready to just jump right in. Guess the proffessor had other ideas, huh? You'll catch up next class.


5th grader huh, shoot I'm lucky if I'm smarter than 3rd grader today. Wiser for sure, but smarter? probably up for debate

I took EE clases over 15 years ago, I dont even wanna see anything past plus or minus ten today.

Not at all....

The requirement for the class was to take notes everyday... There was a written (classroom) portion of the class then the Hands on (Shop) portion of the class. We took lots of notes and sometimes needed to refer to those during the shop portion...

Ever seen a Mechanics Manuals? usually the pages have grease marks and arent the best of shape... this was the teachers Idea and had been for many years.

All of the students had 3-ring binders with those protector things in there... every pages is protected...

Binder isnt holding to well but the pages are fine....

... and right off the bat, we get an assignment... the instructor is explaining the assignment and I'm TOTALLY lost...

Kinda like real life, isn't it HAL?

Glad it is starting to make sense.

That almost sounds like my first day of work at every job I've started. Day two is usually much better.
