American educational system

I love it.

Where else can you skip 75% of the lectures, BS all of the homework, get less than 50% on the final, and still get an A, because the class average was 20%? Humanities classes? Even more enjoyable. I never even buy the books anymore, no point in reading them. All my papers are one draft, usually written the night before it's due, never gotten below an A-, and the TA loves me, even though I am late to class everyday, and when I do go, I either sleep, or make retarded comments to waste time.

and I am on a scholarship too, I feel kinda guilty because I dont work, basically at all.

I hope grad school is the same way, cuz this rocks.

Damn. I knew I should have gone to a liberal arts school. Engineering school is kicking my ass! My last final is today. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

hahaha. ah, undergrad life.

Grad school gets a little bit more interesting because the classes are smaller and yes, you do get graded on "participation". There's a lot more presentations, papers are longer, and there's a looooooooooooooooooot of reading (which usually serves as research for your 30+ page thesis).

But yeah, I know what you mean. I pretty much skated through my undergrad career, enjoyed my full scholarship, and picked up a double degree in 5 years. I don't feel too guilty about not working so hard to do well, though I do regret not putting in more time to do more "real life" stuff like a foreign study abroad or more internships.

What college are you going to?

I had to bust my ass in all my courses because asshats were blowing the curves. Fuckin' Asians.

How else will beautiful "girls" on the internet stalk you?

[Heyyu]

Depends on what university you went to and what major you chose. If you go to one of those arty farty liberal arts college where the professors blabber on and on about "self-improvement feminist minority new-age hippy psychology" or whatever, yeah it can be easy.

If you're in the engineering program of a school like MIT, I doubt you'd be skating by.
