Does anybody still go to school here?
« on: June 06, 2008, 06:17:56 AM »

Hey Chummers,

I was just curious if we have anybody here that is in high school or the university, etc.?

I'm in graduate school at the moment and it popped into my head to ask the rest of my fellow Pubbers.

I'm moving from college to university this year. Only a few more years before I can apply to medical school!

Root, What did you get your Masters in?

I'm working on my MBA at the moment.

Kid, what are you majoring in? I assume medical but what exactly?

Physics (and about 4 courses away from it being Material Science - might end up taking those courses anyway)

I'm working on a degree from the school of life and hard knocks.
This morning I pulled an 18 year old out of his mom's SUV. he hit a guard-rail dead on at 90 MPH, became airborne, and went dukes of hazard style for about 70 feet before dragging his face across a telephone pole.
in addition to the compound skull fracture, internal bleeding/ concussion, and one eye popped out of it's socket. the countless lacerations across his face recolored the plush leather interior a rather ghoulish color of red.
however. that did not stop his 'friends' from taking all the beer out of the car, and leaving him, convulsing in the driver's seat, and proceeding to the party a half block away.
now, that's the sort of lesson in friendship that you can't learn in a classroom.

That's pretty hardcore :o

I'm a little surprised.

See, that's why I'm no good on jury duty.  I think stupid is a crime too.

And no, not in school anymore, but you may recall I was there when I first came into the pub.  Trying to get Hunny to go back and get a teaching cert - much more fire-proof in this economy than retail.

I think those people are the same people that grow up to play shadow run, and they tell their friend: "It's okay, you've got a body of like 12. go charge the six cop cars. you'll be fine."
but perhaps that's just me.
in the more 'real life' situations, that would merit a "Blue Falcon" award.
for those of you not familiar with the blue falcon, or B-F for short, it mostly has something to do with treating your Buddy in a certan way. mostly, any way that F***s them over the coals.

like this:

A buddy of mine asks me to go to a house. no big deal. supposedly there's a guy at this house. and the guy has some information that he needs to finish a report. this is a bit odd, as I assume that any information I could pick up in person he could pick up over the phone. information is not normally HEAVY in that regard, but: he's a buddy, so I proceed to the house.
what he didn't tell me:
This individual had no information.
He had kissed off this report completely, and had no information himself.
This individual wanted a report quite badly.
So, I go to the house, smile, and knock on the door. I'm greeted by the aforementioned guy. He's quite happy to see me. and has me 'come along with him' across the street.
again. odd. wasn't I suppose to get information? why would he keep his information at someone else's house? but... it was a buddy request. and it is only across the street.
a lady answers the door. she's upset with this guy for being here.
they proceed to swear and yell at each other, for the better part of 15 minutes.
with me, trying to keep them apart.
after I get them separated, I spend another 10 minutes trying to figure out what information I was sent there to get, before I found out that the lady's friend backed into the guy's car and took off. the lady didn't want to roll over on her friend, and that made the guy angry at the lady.

he won the Blue Falcon award that day.

I've got an Associates in Engineering Science. . . I got that 2 years ago, and have been helping around the house until now.

This fall I'm going back to pick up a Bachelor's in Computer Engineering. Beyond that, maybe a Master's. . . . I'll decide later. . .

I like the program so far, it's fun. . . (At least, I've always liked school, learning, and classes in general. . .) I just hope I don't become a Dilbert. . .

That's not what you should worry about - worry about getting a Pointy-Haired Boss!
