I think I might quit my job.

I'm pretty frustrated with my grades. I'm honestly blindsided by them, so I'm emailing the professors to find out wtf happened in the last week, hoping they made a mistake, after which I will probably chew them out...throw out something like "make a mistake on your tax returns and see what happens." I just dont get it, I've worked harder this semester than any of my other ones and my grades are substantially lower, **** near a full letter grade difference...a difference I can't let pass if I stand any chance of being an accountant.

I guess I'm just frustrated with the whole system, I'm one of the top students in my class, yet I can't even get half my tuition paid for. To compensate for that, I'm working, which is apparently lowering my GPA, which lessens my chances of getting any scholarships even more. A class with only three tests that make up your grade is rediculous, as are professors that dont pay attention, have stupid grading polices, and waste my time lecturing about common sense stuff that isnt on an exam. They ask us to do evaluations at the end of the semester, and I gave out the 2 worst ones I've ever given out (and mine are always good). Suppose it works out those were two of the dissapointing grades.

/rant and thinking "wtf" over and over again

I have my meteorology midterm tomorrow at 10:30 and I haven't even studied yet. I'm too busy writing my paper for my journalism class. I don't even want to know how I do on my geography final.

Edson, give me a quick review of basic meteorology stuff!

make that two of us frustrated with the damned system. this last week has been frustrating as hell on my end too. i had finally finished my model, primered, it was wetsanded to 1500 grit. i had reserved the paint booth today and less than 10 feet away, i was walking in, made room for someone to get by, and my model falls off its stand and the tip of it is shattered. had to remake the **** thing with bondo so much for good karma there right?

and ive already failed one of my classes this semester, taking two of the most labor intensive classes you can take at once proved to be major suckage. this week has prettty much killed me.

i really hope all your grades BS is just an error man

Morning MCTC crew.

My buddy figured out a better sealer for aftermarket head/tail lights, clear epoxy. He doesn't recommend silicone, because over the years it will build up fungus, due to the fact that silicone absorbs humidity, at least I've seen it happen with clear silicone. I used black one to seal my fog lights last year. I'll keep watch for any fungus development and tell you guys if any appears.

And for you guys that are still studying,
Don't give up!!

hmm, I hadnt thought about that! epoxy huh?

forgive me for being stupid, but what part of the headlight exactly is it that you have to seal up

as far as bulbs, I'm probably just going to put the dual beam HID kit that I saw on AM in there
