Lol my GF keeps telling me to marry her because we have been dating for 5 years tomorrow so it has bee "long enough" and it will get me some financial aid.

I love it man, I have worked at iRobot for 4 years now as a systems engineering intern so i get to basically try a little of everything doing that. I at one point wanted to quit school because I'm 3 years into my degree right now and only taking freshmen lasses at my current school. I went to a community college for 2 1/2 years and had a Calc 1 teacher that was just miserable to deal with and she was the only teacher in the school. Literally only her classes were the ones holding me back. It's so bad i honestly cheated my way through Calc 1 the third time taking it and still got a C- so i couldn't take Calc 2. I took 4 classes with this teacher and didn't pass once with her, i took Precalc and got a D then got an A+ with another teacher then Calc 1 three times and got a D or C- every time. She refused to help her students and if you had a question she would start yelling at you or go way off tangent not even answering what you asked. One class she yelled at us for 45 out of the 50 minutes because we did so bad on one of her tests. Literally she forgot who i was every semester even though i had her 4 times. I went from an A & B student taking 4-5 classes and working 50-60 hours a week to a C student because she just got my moral so low and i hated going to school.

Lol i can rant about her for a long time, I'm not trying to scare you but you will most likely encounter teachers like her at some point but in most cases there are other options unfortunately i had no other option. I guess the moral of my story is if you think you want to do then give it your all and dont let other people (teachers) get in your way. I switched schools and have never been happier because the teachers at my new school actually help you..what a concept lol. I am behind now technically because I'm a 20 year old freshmen essentially but at the same time i have had experience with people at work and poor school staff so i just dont take **** from anyone anymore when it comes to school and im assertive about it now instead of just accepting getting yelled at by my teacher because i did poorly on her test. I worked with a bunch of Field Service Engineers at my work who are basically all military Vet's so i kinda adopted their attitude towards my life situations. You cant be a push over though like i use to be because if you have any bad teachers you need to push you way though the class or be assertive with your teacher to make it through.

Jeez this is like story time for me lol if you have any specific questions i can answer them if you want i now i just ranted a crap load.
