who hates school?

:rant: so I havent touched my truck in weeks because of school. the only time I have even opened my garage was to get my mother in laws piano out of it. I have so much to do an have absolutly no time. I have 3 exams, 2 term papers, one term project, and 8 online discussions due by the 15th, most all of it is due by the 13th. end :rant:

though I guess I cant complain too much about it since I'm getting the G.I. bill, which has pretty much funded my truck. I still want some damn time to sleep every now and again.

any one else swamped like none other in school right now?

I've been done and certified for almost a year now, still have to go for the odd course when a new transmission comes out or something, or other new stuff GM comes out with. Personally I didn't find the work load in trade school all that bad. I only had to go once every 8 months or so for 2 months at a time (4 times). All I can say is keep at it and work! It'll be worth it when you're all done. :thumb:

Went to class today for Hybrid service....no, not the class from last year, the new one that just started. I did so because right now I make more for an 8 hour day at school than at work. That blows especially to anyone that understands flat rate as I used to average 61 per week just a short 18 months ago. I made 380 hours in one month just a little while ago July 2007. I flagged around 100 hours in April 2009.

100 hours in a month, that's gotta sting. Glad I didn't hang around long enough to go flat rate.

Well in Canada they probably do more of the socialist way on salary....we didn't "go flat rate".

:LOL:

Around here you usually don't go flat rate until you're in the 4th year or fully licensed.

I hear ya! They're talking about sending me on some courses here soon too, one being the transmission course for the hybrids. 8 hour days is gonna suck! We've been doing pretty good in the past couple months. The past two pays were over 100hrs for me. I don't really care, as long as I'm over 80. Any higher than that and you hit the next tax bracket and the government just takes most of it anyway! Freakin' Canada and their damn taxes.:grr:

wish I could help you, but we do need some prop and rotor guys and a few general aircraft technitions :)

the funny thing about me is that by the time I graduate I will most likely take a pay cut to use my degree, but I will make a ton more in the long run.

I know what all of you guys are going through. I personally didn't finish college, I barely made it through the first year. I was too busy smoking pot and going to the lake or out to my shop to mess with my GTO. My fiance' though, is a special education major and is about ready to pull her hair out. The things this ridiculous state requires a spec. ed. or even just a normal education major are just absurd. She has massive amounts of homework every stinkin' day on top of having to study for tests. I try to tell her that she doesn't need to make straight a's and that c's will still get you a degree but she is too much of a perfectionist and runs herself ragged. She is starting to get really down with all the school and having to work 8 hrs a day too but I try and tell her to persevere and not think of how long she has left and it will be over before she knows it. Same advice to all of you guys, hang in there, do your best, and try to think as little as possible about how much longer you have.

getting drunk isn't that much fun after it is legal anyway. I drank a lot more in the years before 21 than I did after I was 21. Granted I am only 24 about to be 25 and have been drinking habitually since 12, I don't hardly care for alcohol anymore. I prefer the effects of herbals over alcohol, too bad those aren't legal.....

Yeah, getting wasted in high school was so much more fun than it is now.

Remember when drinking was something that took a plan to do? Had to find a buyer... My parents wouldnt let me drink... So Had to find a spot to drink. And since drinking is no fun alone ya got to get some people in on it.... Those were the days. Now I just go to the store. No one with me... No plan. Just chilling... Kinda dull these days.

Being drunk during school, now that was fun. Especially during the last couple of weeks of the year.

I stayed drunk during school, or high, or both. I remember when I would get to class in the mornings the teacher would say: "Some of you need to take care of your morning habits a little earlier". She would look directly at me as she said it. Guess it wasn't the wisest move to hotbox the truck every morning before class.

Our high school library had a similar spot, I was never fortunate enough to use it but I knew some that did. There was even usually some cardboard and things on the floor so you wouldn't have to "lay it down" on the cold cement.

My school there was a blocked off room beneath the stage, well it was supposed to be blocked off...someone even kept a couple pot plants down there. Apparently it was a shooting range in the '70s

that sounds like fun. We had a shooting range at our school.....for pellet guns. The reefage is legal up there where you are eh?

I wish it was that way around here. I miss the old days of doing it. I could easily still do it in the comfort of my home still, it's just going to get the stuff that I worry about. If I got arrested for something like that I would lose my job no questions asked I'm sure. My job doesn't test or anything but out of respect for my boss I choose not to until America wakes the **** up and realizes the money they could make off of it. I wouldn't even mind paying a small fine or tax for having it, but to put me in jail for that is just ludacris. I wont get into it all because this is not the place. I just get frustrated with this country I live in at times

that was the path I was on, I graduated a year early instead to go to tech school, and then I never went to tech school. I would have had my bachlors by the time I turned 21.

Dont feel bad about not being able to leagally drink yet, I couldn't drink at my wedding or when I came home from afghanistan. hell my wife turns 21 tomorrow, she also gets her associates in another week though.
