What is your current status?

I have no idea. My Chem final brutally murdered me. I got two As and a B this quarter but Chem is not looking good right now.

At this point, we're all looking at other options just in case. And waiting on a curve.

Ahhhhh, riding the curve. A lot like surfing those big waves. Sometimes it crashes on top of you and some times it a long film-worthy ride.

Good luck. As long as you feel like most of the other you know are struggling too, I'd predict you'll get out from under Chem.

Too bad. Chem 101 for me was the easiest A I ever got. Multiple choice mid term and final and the professor made the mistake of not changing the questions. LOL ....................... BAMMMM!!!! 100

What was Physics and Calculus like?

Well keep in mind for Physics there are two levels. Used to be one level didn't use Calculus but the engineering focussed Physics did. At GMI obviously it was the latter.

Calc isn't too bad. Calc II I took when I was at CMU before I transferred to GMI. We started with 35 students, ended up with 12 by the final and the highest grade was for some kid from Mt. Pleasant High School who was taking some college classes. I had a solid C, my lowest grade ever..............until I went to visit the professor and had a very nice talk with him. I told him I hadn't worked harder in any other class so far and it would sure be a shame to get a C for that much work. Report cards came and he had given me a B-. And still I can't recall working harder for a grade.

But to your question, Physics and Calculus depend on you. If you think logically and linearly, you should be ok. But if you don't it would be like me taking a class in art and poetry........................wait I did that too.....OUCH!

My suggestion is to decide what you want to do or be and pursue that regardless of the effort it takes to get there. If you really have a passion for engineering, than you should pursue that.

If you want to talk about engineering, call me and I'll help if I can.

Jeeze was that a long answer to a short question, eh?

Problem is that I have a crapload of experience in vet med but I don't have any in engineering, but both subjects interest me.

We shall see how things turn out...

Only a mile? I was going to say all the way from Washington.

How are things, Shno? What is the car situation?

Things are going good! Im leaving in less than a month so I just got a long term rental. No sense in making a car payment while Im away! When we go out again in early summer I wont be back until the spring of 2011.... So maybe there will be some more info about the Z28 Granted that will only make my decision harder

Now I remember you saying that you would rent a car.

Not back til Sping 2011? Holy crap, are you on a submarine? I guess I didn't realize the ships were out that long without coming home.
