21 + (4 audited) this semester; all but one upper-div; two insane professors with whom I am enamored/in love; six people to impress.

Hurray.

[Bauglir]

Holy jeegus, people who have done more than 20. How. My roughest semester actually only had 15, I think, but that was only due to the fact that one of the courses I took ended up requiring about 15 or so hours per week on its own (ha ha 2 credits, my ass). Usually 16 or 17 was my norm, but I would have had no free time if I'd taken more'n that.

EDIT: By the way, you seem like a pretty awesome dude, so I would guess you can handle 17. Still, it really depends on the classes in question (see anecdote above), so if it turns out that you can't, no shame in that. Sometimes life just decides to be an insufferable fuckface and you do what you gotta do to deal with it. And you're still an awesome dude.

I've got no idea what 'credits' are, but I'm only doing four courses.

12 credit hours.  If a job's worth doing, it's worth doing adequately.

 Ahahahaha oh god, there is a Starcraft II article in the Wall Street Journal. Naturally everything is in quotation marks because how else are you supposed to talk about Zerg FE rush into their third Spanishiwa-style while Terrain 1/1/1's into a cheap victory? But the best part of the whole article is the second picture they use. A DARK TEMPLAR. No quotations, just caps. Like, "OHSHIT A DARK TEMPLAR!"

12 credit hours.  If a job's worth doing, it's worth doing adequately.

So I have to take at least 12 hours to be counted as a full-time student?  Sign me up for 12 hours then.  The bare minimum is more than enough.

Ahahahaha oh god, there is a Starcraft II article in the Wall Street Journal.

"I thought I'd come here for a quiet beer after a crazy day at work," said Michael McMahan, a 59-year-old carpenter who is a 17-year veteran of the bar, over the sound of noisy fans as he sipped on a draught pint.

But for sports-bar owners, "Starcraft" viewers represent a key new source of revenue from a demographic—self-described geeks—they hadn't attracted before.

"It was unbelievable," said Jim Biddle, a manager of Bistro 153 in Beaverton, Ore., which hosted its first Barcraft in July. The 50 gamers in attendance "doubled what I'd normally take in on a normal Sunday night."

For "Starcraft" fans, watching in bars fulfills their desire to share the love of a game that many watched at home alone before. During a Barcraft at San Francisco's Mad Dog in July, Justin Ng, a bespectacled 29-year-old software engineer, often rose to his feet during pivotal clashes of a match.

"This feels like the World Cup," he said. "You experience the energy and screams of everyone around you when a player makes an amazing play."

I'm just proud to say I will never ever be part of this.  Jumping up and down in a perfectly respectable crappy bar, to footage of Koreans playing videogames.  No.  I am not that big a nerd, and I never will be, self-described or no.

"OHSHIT A DARK TEMPLAR!"

GET IN THE DROPSHIP!

 My dad told me to sign up for 12 credits but not 13, because each credit is like $400 and you need 12 for financial aid.

 Edumacation ain't cheap, and considering the range of degrees I could possibly get it seems like a waste of money. How is a general education degree gonna change anything? I should just be messing around and taking a million fun classes like art and programming.

Plus, if you take a bunch of credits you can get done earlier and ultimately save. Just don't be a schmuck like me and wait 3 years to take a 2-semester requirement, because even if you could theoretically do it with summer courses and still be done in 3.5 years, maybe they don't offer Latin 102 in the Fall, the bastards.

[ToonyMan]

I have to take Spanish for a bit.  Bueno!

[Dsarker]

I'm doing both Latin and Greek. Good stuff.

[ggamer]

Holy fuck, i've been gone for a week. Apparently I got warned? for a racist thing?

then again, calling a southerner racist is like saying the government is fucked.

And foreign exchange student.

fallout 3.

Bluuuh

[Criptfeind]

My life seems almost non fucked, I might very well be able to start up my old D&D game soon, that is much joy for me.

Went out to lunch with my mother!  Textbooks acquired!  Better mood imminent!

[Heron TSG]

Holy jeegus, people who have done more than 20. How.

Calculus I, Physics I, Money Management, Psych 101, Western Civilizations 118, and Geography 216 are all pretty easy classes, and ones I already knew quite a bit about, barring Psychology.

My life seems almost non fucked, I might very well be able to start up my old D&D game soon, that is much joy for me.

This makes me happy as well.

[ToonyMan]

How are you still 16 Barbar?!  I swear you were 16 when I was 16.
