Thanks. I've only got two classes so its not so bad. It helps to be interested in the subject matter and not take any of the other stuff. I couldn't do it if I had to take endless semesters of stupid shit just to make me "better rounded" aka line their pockets more than they already do. Shits expensive FTL.

Maybe that was what killed it for me - I had to take Algebra II so I could do more graphic arts related shite. Whatever I suck @ math. So I ended up just leaving that in the dust...

Agreed! I've been wanting to go back myself but the mind numbing bs classes throw a wrench in it like you' re stating.

Yeah math blows nuts. I had to take that last semester and barely passed it. No more for me though.

I don't want to go back I just never got along with school - I can't read something & learn it that way - you gotta show me & then let me do it repeatedly - a manual does nothing for me.

When it got to me asking why & the answer I got was "because the value of x = y to the power of 9 less the gravitational pull of pluto + your Dad's earnings before taxes " - I was like "ok"

I honestly can only write a paper if it's subject matter I'm highly interested in OR anything if it's a technical paper/document. I don't posses the ability to write "fluff". It sucks really, I have a best friend who can skim through a book about something he's never even messed with or sometimes even heard of before and write a paper about it that night. Bah! I'd have a master's if I had that gift
