[InsaneApache]

:laugh4:

Well, as the history books will show, the summer of '76 was one of the hottest on record for the UK. I completed my education by studying Chesters Dark Mild in the Gypsys Tent in Bolton, Boddingtons 'headbanging bitter' in the St. Annes Tavern, St. Annes Square, Manchester and last and not least Theakstons Best Bitter in the Gooseye Inn, near Keighley, West Yorks.

BTW I got straight 'A's

:sweatdrop:

[KukriKhan]

Ahhh...1976. Studying overseas in Seoul - Majored in Hite Stout, and Minored in International Military Relations. Non-degree programs, I received a "Present for most sessions" grade.

Best of luck to all entering/continuing in Academia. ~:cheers:

[The_Doctor]

I suppose that was down to your extra "revision" and staying after "class".:laugh4:

So this site counts as study then. :whip: now get back to those books :book: err computer games :bounce:

Good! We need more like you! :D
I was seriously considering a carreer in CG once myself actually.

[Fragony]

Got a grade in enslaving eastern european workers for jobs that are dangerous and poorly payed.

Now you just need a minor of doing the same thing with women, trafficing. Then I'd call you a bastard :no:

Tread gently, Lads. This is a "feel good" topic - let's
keep it that way.

[Hosakawa Tito]

I am a student of the School of Hard Knocks & Painful Dings Academy. I'm currently focusing on an interpersonal relationship skills degree in the criminal justice system. It's a "25 year minimum" core curiculum, and I have 1 year 11 months 19 days till graduation, not that I'm counting.~;)

1st year, 2nd semester business finance student

[yesdachi]

Ahhh...1976.
In 1976 I was studying potty training (I’m almost finished with the lessons :laugh4: ).

Aside from a seminar here or there I have no real desire to go back to school… ever. :knight:

[Goofball]

Started uni in 1988 (18 yrs old). Quit after 3 months because working in a bar was so much fun. Joined the army, completed contract 1993, started working for a bank. Took courses on and off part time. Eventually received BCom in 2003, probably breaking the record for the world's most protracted undergrad degree.

[DemonArchangel]

1st Year Biology Student.

I just combined the two (for a year anyway).

[Vuk]

I so didn't get the Eastern European thing, Fragony, where are you from?

How's school going?

[Fragony]

Now that's the VOC spirit :2thumbsup:

hehehe :whip:

[Idaho]

I remember those student days... ahhh...

Wake and bake at 12:30 ~;) , watch tv while eating breakfast. Go to a lecture, come home and play chess or brag or backgammon until the evening. Then go and get pissed....

And here I am in a suit, in an office ~:(

[Bijo]

Conservatory :shame:

Every time I think about it-- *looks for gun*

Ah, the joy my cynical nature brings me :beam:

[Caius]

i want to live your life.

I hate school.

[macsen rufus]

I stretched out full time education til I was 22, becoming a qualified pharmacist. Alas, the job REALLY didn't suit me, so I've spent the next few years doing INTERESTING things instead, eventually going back to "school" with a few Open University courses. But school's never out, really; once you stop learning, you stop growing.

BTW Pharamcy is a tough course - 9am lectures every day of the course, no "crack of noon" days for trainee chemists :thumbsdown:

Well, wearing a suit is awesome, but I wouldn't write off education just yet.

What instrument ? Most of the people at my 'house' are doing conservatory, doesn't look like fun :laugh4:

[Tuuvi]

I'm in my sophomore year of highschool, I have three F's and midterms are next monday ~:mecry: the worst part is, one of those F's is a zero percent F...

[Bijo]

Personally piano, guitar, and composition. But my main direction is production ('m kind of an all-round balanced artist). About the fun: it could've been, but colleges in here just suck, as they've a bad system mainly aimed at squeezing money outta ya.

[Ice]

I'm in my sophomore year of highschool, I have three F's and midterms are next monday ~:mecry: the worst part is, one of those F's is a zero percent F...

How do you have 3 F's, one being a zero? I never understood how anyone could fail a class. I can get a C and do minimal to no work.

[Tuuvi]

minimal to no work and you get C's!? minimal to no work is the reason I get f's...

[Ice]

minimal to no work and you get C's!? minimal to no work is the reason I get f's...

Yes. I don't understand how anyone fails anything.

[naut]

It's my last year of High School.

[gaelic cowboy]

Third time lucky for me Degree in Mech Eng in Sligo Institute of Technology.

We don't even need Fs here in australia :laugh4:

This is slightly off topic, but i've never understood why the american system ignores the bell curve and introduces Fs.'

On topic, it's amazing how many talented people are here posting at a games forum.....that or those who aren't are just smart enough not to post :laugh4:


minimal to no work and you get C's!? minimal to no work is the reason I get f's...Minimal to no work is the reason I get As :yes:

I think i might have to start working this year though :sweatdrop:

[Tuuvi]

What kind of school gives you A's for not doing anything? It almost sounds as if they are promoting laziness...

[Csargo]

Yes

[sapi]

What kind of school gives you A's for not doing anything? It almost sounds as if they are promoting laziness...
:no:

It's just that I'm finding that i don't have to do much work to pass with flying colours :beam:

And fyi, it's not a lasy school - we consistently perform best in australia/the state

[Tuuvi]

At my school the assignments are actually pretty easy, I just don't like doing them...That is the reason why I fail.

[Caius]

And fyi, it's not a lasy school - we consistently perform best in australia/the state
Seems it isnt a lingual school:beam:

[sapi]

Just because i don't like the american infatuation with z's :embarassed: :laugh4:

[Tuuvi]

Have you ever listened to how it is pronounced? it goes lazy not lasy. We americans aren't infatuated, we just know how to spell.

[sapi]

Lazy is pronounced lay-se in everywhere but the US of A ;)

And on that topic, what's with colour? It's definitely not pronouced col-or.

[naut]

It's going to be a heavy new year for me, turns out my favourite teacher died.

[BDC]

Minimal to no work got me As all the way until upper sixth. Chemistry and maths in lower sixth were a bit tricky though.

The only time it made me giggle was when I got an A* in geography and all those girls who worked so so hard (and showed off about it) only got Bs.

Upper sixth was a lot of work though, to be fair. My friends who tried pulling off the no-work thing ended up with Cs.

I'm from the U.S. and I spell colour c-o-l-o-u-r.
I also spell grey g-r-e-y.

But that is absolutily awesome, why the shame you should be pride itselve! What instrument do you play?

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

Second semester, freshman IT major. I have mixed feelings about my continuing education. I like computers and IT stuff, but a) I don't know if I want to work with it, b) I like history more, though I don't know if it's as a hobby or more like a career, c) I have half a mind sometimes to join the military...

Yep, despite previous years of education and educating I am back in school. 630 hours of German Language mandated by the government here.

It is interesting in some ways. Most of the students are from former communist countries. A large number are Muslim. Too bad we can't converse yet…but maybe by June or so.

Russian Engineers, Serbian Police, Vietnamese from Hanoi, Nigerians, Iraqis and Iranians…And a couple of Americans……..but no War has broken out…how about that!

[sapi]

@fisherking - where's that?

Well, I've been proud (and still am) but that shame icon was more intended as a "down" icon like "Oh brother, this is not good, why'd I go there?" for lack of a proper icon. But the main time I've been proud regarding conservatory was when I got in, but then things went downhill (less motivation for instance). Would've been better if I kept on doing my own thing music-wise and just went to another school like... Linguistics, or Philosophy, Sociology, or something.

Some people there in the conservatory told me I didn't fit the system. Then I told 'em the system didn't fit ME! :laugh4:

Ah the beauty of the musical world, not elitist at all. My sisters fiancee used to be one of the best hornplayers in the world, played in the Amsterdam concerthall on many occasions, but he insisted on developing a heartcondition after his brother decided to do a Herman Brood interpetation. He worked very hard to develope a new technique, and he succeeded, and was axed by just about everyone in the scene, and now he refuses to play altogether.
