Dark_Raven Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 What do you mean by that? You spend all of that money taking those classes, seems like a waste of money if you're not going to attend class. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
thepixiesrock Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 The way I see it, the money is going towards me getting through school. The individual classes are irrelevent to me as long as I get through the classes in the end. Plus, it isn't something I do often.

Guest The Architect Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Yeah, I doubt I'd never skip a class if I went to college in America. As long as it's not done regularly, I don't see the problem with doing that. There's no point in attending a class you don't want to go to, because the same result would occur.
Tale Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 I spent today following up on the cyber war. Interesting revelations and speeches. Not participating, for the record, just spectating. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

Pidesco Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 I just saw the Australian Open Women's final. Sharapova won.

samm Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Staying up late, that's life Today, I made our flat a little more comfortable, because I had slept enough for the first time in years (or so it felt) and found enough energy to do this at last.

theslug Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Workshop with fellow staff & then dinner out with them - it was a gift! I hope this workshop involved building a large hydra cat out of plywood. There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated.

Tigranes Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Considering I got my undergraduate with A average and missed 60-70% of the classes, I'd say it really depends on what kind of classes your university gives and what kind of person you are. Most of our lecture notes are posted online, and most of our lecturers in undergraduate just read out the lecture notes with very small ad-lib; students raise few questions; few are answered satisfactorily. I'm someone whose strength is the ability to understand things and get the big picture very fast, so I usually end up knowing what he's saying before he's even halfway done. I'm weak in other areas, but they tend to be ones I work on myself. And the time I take off class (and the 2 hours of travel), I usually spend researching things appropriate to my degree. So it really depends. Today I played some tennis.

Guest The Architect Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 It's not like that in Hong Kong. It's fine there, otherwise, you think I'd want to go? I've been there before, 4 years ago.
samm Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 Today, I lold. Watching a Star Trek Episode on Youtube, the first two comments to that episode: There is no sound and the subtitles are in Klingon. Is this supposed to be a test for true trekkies?

Humodour Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 Well I spent Australia Day on Coogee beach drinking beer and body surfing. Then I went clubbing at Darling Harbour in the night. I am a bit sunburnt and tanned.
Kor Qel Droma Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 I bundled up for work today! Temperatures have been on the nasty side all across the province. As I type this, it's a nice, balmy -45 degrees celsius. At least there's no wind. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
thepixiesrock Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 No here in Michigan, core temperature isn't as cold, but boy, that wind'll kill you.
