Well shitā€¦ I only made it halfway and didnā€™t even finish that (I absolutely hated the program and the students and the teachers and the school in general also wasnā€™t necessary because I knew Iā€™d be running this business, but it is what it is I supposeā€¦)

The fucking place would always schedule the exams on monday at 8pm. When I work 3rd shift on weekends. Fucking assholes. Builds character my ass.

Now, after my life has stabilized, I am going to WGU (Western Governors Unv) to finish out my BS in Software Dev.

Set my own pace and git shit done.

When I was at university a lot of people dropped out due to not being able to work and do the course at the same time because of the scheduling and the amount of work that had to be completed. It is pretty much a full time job as it is.

same here. I even intentionally fail some classes XD. The credit recovery classes are so easy its not even a joke. I can get a whole semesters worth of a english credit in about 4 hours of work. Thats mostly because classes go over the same shit for 8 years but still

I failed a semester of AP US History in high school, but passed the AP test for it and got college credit for the class. I got to say itā€™s one of my proudest moments.

ughā€¦ I hated english. Such a waste of time. Pretty sure youā€™re considered fluent by the time you reach high school, and

This is more true for English than any other classā€¦ other than PE I supposeā€¦

At least with Math you learn new stuff each yearā€¦ thatā€™s how it was for me at least.

At my school, if you passed the exam but failing the course you would get a passing grade.

That was kind of the ā€˜dealā€™.

in math we spent the first half of the year going back over what we learned in the last half of last year.

History covers the same events year to year with the only change being what perspective you take on it.

English we over analyze every little like why the curtains were blue XD
