My first day at Metro

recruit them for the WTSHTF scenario.

Sounds like the Zoo with an academic theme and less of an emphasis on reality. I think I'd have to divide my time between looking like and .

I have a feeling I'd get run out on a rail, as I'm fairly certain I'd speak my mind at every politically incorrect opportunity. Failing that, I'd be unable to stop myself from sharing my dry (some would say cynical) sense of humor. Sigh.

I'll be curious to see how you fare. Good luck! Sounds like you'll need it.

Avoid the hot dogs in the cafe in North.

Actually, just avoid that cafe.

From the title post, and after reading your 1st post I thought you had just joined law enforcement.
Metro I thought was refering to either a court house or detension center.

After the 1st post it still made sense too.

BTW, cops love baggy/saggy pants.. they run waaaay slower if they don't trip and fall down.

OK, two weeks down. Impressions:

Now that I'm not as freaked out about the classes, I've realized there are a LOT of smoking hot girls on campus.

I've also realized there are a LOT of completely F'ed up views of how the world is, mostly from the smoking hot girls...

I have at least two girls in my English class I want to sew up in gunny sacks with about 75 lbs of scrap metal and drown like unwanted kittens.
"Um, is it OK if I do my personal interest paper on gun control?", asks kitten one. My thought was, 'How are you going to stretch out "keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target" for 4 pages?' Oh ya, gun control... not gun rights... Then the thought of her in a gunny sack transpired.

Kitten two felt sorry for pedophiles because she "...got to talk to some once and what they went through that made them that way was just awful." I went straight to the gunny sack thought with her.

So, I've decided to dedicate as many as my research papers in educating these two completely disillusioned drowning liberals. At the very least, I'll piss them off and that will make me feel better.

Sounds like a worthwhile hobby to me. Although, drowning dumb liberals in gunny sacks might fit right in with the average liberal view, since you've replaced the poor little kittens with the girls in question (preventing animal cruelty) AND maybe you could push the notion that you're just aborting them, after the fact. You'd just have to leave out the part about them being liberals... Think of it as a public service.

QFT

Well, over half way through my first semester now. It continues to be interesting from both an educational perspective and a social perspective. Some teachers are very difficult to learn from. Ironically, all the students know which ones they are. If you ask the Jr's and Sr's, you can quite literally avoid the bad teachers all together. So, I talk a lot to the students that are working in the various tutor rooms, and I've started a list of teachers to avoid.

Conversely, I have one of the teachers right now that everyone says to avoid and I'm sitting at 87% in the class. She is difficult to follow, but a lot of the students don't do themselves any favors either. It's ironic the students that don't do the work (stay ahead of the reading, do the exercises given in class, study) are the same that have problems. It's consistant across every one of my classes. I've helped a few that are struggling. The ones willing to listen and change are the ones that will survive. There are others just not ready. I would recommend everyone with kids getting close to college, really evaluate you kid before you invest in college for them. Some are better off struggling in the real world for a while before college.

Chemistry Lab is by far the most fun of all of the classes. My lab professor is very willing to let a few of us go beyond the book experiments and do experiments as long as they are beneficial. There are a couple of us that 'get it' and try additional experiments. It's basic stuff, but the fact he's willing to let us take the info further is pretty open minded. It's good times.

Those emo freaks that wear pants so tight it they can't pull them up if they wanted to. It looks like they borrowed their little sisters pants.
All those people sound like weird enough but I bet that is only the ones you seen at the bus stop.
I was going to continue my education at Metro but said no way since they don't have free parking. Forget that noise I'm not lazy but I don't like hunting for parking spots every day.

Keep the reports coming. I find them especially entertaining and informative. I need to get my butt back to school to maintain my marketability and "value added" level on the gov't contract(s).
