it's very sweet of u to welcome me, even if it's late, i appreciate it.
and yes, engineering is crazy! we had one prof state on the syllabus "Note: If you work full-time try to lower it down to part-time only because the amount of work I will assign in this course will be equivalent to a part-time job." i was like wow, what a warm and fuzzy feeling

Man...that sounds so much like Science! I had the most contact hours out of any of my friends (in other degrees) and used to have pracs that would go for 6 hours!!
I know this is way off topic (sorry Dave!)....but there used to be a certain perception of "enjees" (engineering students) about how they could always be found in the Uni Bar on any given day. Maybe it's just an Aussie thing?
Dave: exactly! and whenever we complain about that, they calmly state "well u'll be graduating and starting a job for $60K, while other majors' starting salaries are well below that" and we're just like uhha of course lol
missrini: i'm not really sure what the "uni bar" is , but if i got it right, it's true.. we're constantly studying. i attend a more "liberal" university, but engineering students are not graduates of this "liberal" university only, we get a dual degree from this one and another (really really really) tough one.. so while other students are out on the quad sun-bathing, playing frisbee, running around with their dogs; we're stuck in our engineering computer labs on the third floor (where two of them don't even have windows) doing homework hour after hour after hour after hour.. u get the idea ... sorry for the long reply, but i had to vent some lol (i feel sorry for my bf having to listen to this regularly)

LOL Caramel....the Uni (University) Bar is..um...a pub . It's where ppl go to drink alcohol and listen to bands. The "enjees" used to have a reputation for drinking LOTS and partying hard. I guess it really IS an Aussie thing
lol oops i thought u were referring to the universiity lounge area or something.. a lot of us do party pretty hard, but when we actually have the time for it :D ... as for me, it's just studying, bf, friends, and family.. and me of course .. don't even have time for my car anymore

Hmmm, I remember having thicker longer hair when I was younger(like you). But since I'm 35yrs(and Proud of it!) my hair is thinner, and it looks better shorter, medium short. Congrats on being smart too! I wish I had the dedication to be a college student.
and second, i don't necessarily consider myself (or any college student) smart just b/c i attend college.. it's just that i have the energy/drive to learn/study more... it's a personality thing i guess, u probably wouldn't have been happy living life my way, or u would have chosen it already ... congrats to u on the accomplishment of being satisfied with ur current status, i think stability is a huge accomplishment
So true. I love the looks of utter shock and horror I get when people find out I don't drink. At all. Ever.

i think engineering students probably drink so much so they can temporarily forget the horrors of our studies.. it's impossible to finish my concentration in 4 years.. we've only had one girl do it, and she ended up in some mental institute, literally.. she was stressing out too much and i think she developed some kind of mild paranoia.. true story!
