It's what I do best. Although that's not necessarily gay, just effeminate. Sexist.

being at school from 8:00 am to 6:30 p.m. is just not cool. i dont know why i scheduled all my classes on monday/wednesday. i mean i know why, i just dont like it. but it frees up tuesday, thursday, friday for working and being awesome.

[strategy 4]

I did something like 9:30-5 3 days/week one semester. I was completely worthless attention span-wise by about 1 or so. learning is not a marathon thing for me...

Er...what are you referring to?

Beans story about the piles of cash. And, in general, what this site was founded on. Fandom of a poker player and people generally looking up to people like Doyle Brunson, Chip Reese, etc. These guys are all crooks and cheats and hustlers in their own way. Celebrate them for that because they have cool interesting stories, but don't try and pretend they are something they are not. (Not saying, you are anyone who posts in this thread do )

I always set my schedule so my classes were all on Tuesday/Thursday. So much easier that way.

Since Im bored, drinking the stout stuff, and diminishing what little hearing I have left with hey man nice shot, Ill share a little tidbit about the guy in your avatar...I have a friend in Vegas who some might call a shady fellow. Surprising, I realize. Hes getting up in the years now but still has the gumption and energy to keep up with us pushing middle agers. Every trip back I make it a point to include him on at least one outing on the town, not only to provide fill in stories while Im indisposed on the floor, but also as a sober witness for future defense teams since his liver waved the white flag many moons ago. Hes made a tidy living since the seventies by building some of the most lavish swimming pools in the valley. Also an avid auto collector, he and I spend substantial amounts of time shuttling new acquisitions across country trying to screw the other one over quite frequently Anyway, he tells this story about Reese and Jack Binion...One afternoon he was overseeing a pool project at either Jacks or Chips house...cant remember which...when he walked in the back door to ask a question. Chip and Jack were lying on the floor in front of the TV watching a football game. Not unusual except for the fact that they were surrounded by piles of cash roughly the size of dairy calves. John as Ill call him, stood there watching for several minutes as both of them bet on every single play of the game, including whether each commercial would feature a male or female at its beginning. Handfulls of bills were thrown between the two settling each wager to the point that it appeared as a cash dust storm in the middle of the room.After a while, Chip had to take a leak and asked John to take over the betting while he was away. Like the fox with a written invitation to the hen house, he graciously accepted and took his place on the floor, immediately losing several grand on a commercial wager. On the second advertisement he recouped the loss by choosing "neither" and was rewarded with a eight to one dog food windfallAfter the program was over Chip asked John if he could drop him off at the airport since he was heading home to Henderson. They both headed to the truck and John suggested that Chip place his large suitcase in the back since the cab was filled with blueprints and such but he refused, placing the item on his lap in a clearly uncomfortable manner..."Chip...put that damn thing in the back...not like is gonna rain or anything""Its alright""You cant even see out the damn window""No problem.... I wouldnt want it to blow out or anything""Alright"Once they got to the terminal, Chip unzipped the side and revealed enough cash to burn several wet mules...."Wouldnt want this to confetti all over the road"Thats a short summary to the hour and a half long version that he tells. I keep meaning to record that one and several others for future entertainment one of these days...My favorites are that one, the Rivieras hidden roof top pool that leaked into the casino the first time it was filled, and the time he borrowed fifty grand from a mobster at the Maxim two days before he keeled over dead, clearing the debt since no records were ever kept after the Lefty Rosenthal incident

You guys know my dad owned a country bar right? Once, the owner of the other local rock and roll dive, was at my dad's bar and they were both torqued. Gene, who's nickname was Bear started telling everyone he was going to get a live bear for his bar. My dad laughed and an insults started flying, ending with my dad betting him that he could have a Jackass physically inside his bar before Bear could have a bear inside of his, the other kicker or side bet was that you had to keep it for a year of pay $1000 to the other guy. This set off an immediate mad dash for phones and frantic calls and ended up with a live jackass in our bar about an hour later. We had an old large basement that had been rented out as an archery range for a while that became home to the damn thing. He was pretty tame at first and rideable but by the end you couldn't near the damn drunk. I have no clue who won the bet or if anyone paid or even cared, but Gene did go get a bear and had it for a long time as well. I seen it a bunch of times and knew of stories of it getting loose and almost biting a buch of people. Originally it was in a cage with a fenced off area around it to prevent people from getting close. It hated the heavy metal though and they eventually remodeled a back room for it and brought it out on special occasions. I think dad made some farmer take the mule in lieu of paying his bar tab.Even though Kentucky law prohibited under 21 year olds from entering I had pretty much hung out at that joint starting at 17.

Oh, and I ran my first 10 miler yesterday beotches! Hoping to do a half marathon in March.

[Napa_Don 688]

My last semester I did Tues/Thurs 9:30 - 3:30, 6:00-9:00 and about 2/3 through the semester my thursday night class was done. Being able to legitimately start drinking at 4:00 PM thursday-sunday and then still having monday to do homework/recover was awesome and worth it.

[speedz99 145]

Your "long days" a few days per week are amusing to me.

[strategy 4]

working 10 or 12 hours is really no big deal. being expected to understand and take notes and generally give a shit for that length of time is, I find, pretty much impossible. I don't know that practice would make it any easier. it was just a godsend that my last few sections were a statistics lab and an entry level bio course full of intuitive stuff, otherwise I would have actually had to study.

[strategy 4]

today, I randomly looked over at my coworker and said, "hey, I have an idea." picked up the phone, dialed my boss--who is 15 feet away in an office, well within earshot--and said, "this conversation is over" as soon as she answered, then hung up on her.she just muttered, "what the hell?" after I hung up. we're on great terms, believe it or not.

Oh, no, I agree. I was just saying that I do it five days a week, so complaints about doing it twice a week ARE AMUSING TO ME.

Haha. I'll be doing this to a few close college friends I haven't talked to in a while.

your face is amusing.

I scoff at complaints about law school, business school, and medical school. Well, less so medical school.I shall entertain complaints about dental school and PhD programs regarding subjects I don't really understand, such as physics and theoretical mathematics. Not communications, though, as I don't think that understanding what that is would make it more impressive. Although do they really offer PhDs in communications? They must, as there are many professors in the field. This has been nice.

[BillyPilgrim 1]

oh yeah man, law school is not hard at all. i can always look this shit up later. you actually need to know things.

[speedz99 145]

It's not as fun when you agree with me.

it's funny, both of my brothers were 4.0 students in high school, 3.8+ in college, then stopped trying for more than passing grades in medical/dental school. both are/will be excellent in their professions, I have no doubt. I don't think dental is as hard as medical, although the exams for cutting/prepping teeth sound intense according to my brother. along the lines of, get this right or you lose your summer, get it wrong again and you lose a year.architecture at KU looked incredibly hardcore to me. five year program, insane course load, etc. I hardly got to hang out with that roommate... he was on campus 12 hours/day any time we were in session.

I'm starting to think I want to go the tax accountant route, but then I think of people like SA who is going to law school for that shit and is undoubtadly going to be better prepared than I am and then I start freaking out and thinking maybe I should go to law school, but I don't want to do that. So, I'm just going to go live in a van down by the river.

From what I understand, based on multiple friends who have gone through medical school and a few in dental school, dental is definitely harder during the classroom years, but then the med students have to deal with internship/residency. Dental and vet schools are tougher in terms of classwork (2-3 years), but the addition of having 3-4 years of 90 hour weeks of being someone's bitch makes medical school the most difficult in the end, as it should be. Some vet students do internships and residencies if they want to specialize, as do some dental students, but at least it's not a requirment.

Yeah, even undergrad architecture is pretty intense.

We're often told that we'll graduate knowing a lot, the most important of which is where to look up the correct answer...which is harder than it sounds.

In my not-so-vast experience, people who go to law school just because it's something to do to make money don't end up even doing all that well. You have to give a shit in order to do well enough to get jobs with firms that will bring you that kind of money.Edit: Whew. That post took me 20 minutes after a few bourbons.

[BillyPilgrim 1]

do not go to law school. i repeat do not go to law school. it is a waste of time and money.

[Napa_Don 688]

Oh, theres like 5% chance I'll actually go to law school. I'm just saying that I feel like I'm already behind the eight ball in my new career and I haven't even started it yet. I'm not very happy right now. Which, I know is probably insensitive to strat's situation, but there it is.
