Hey I am going to college this year to.

My classes:

Intro to Electrical Engineering
Working full time

This is going to be a long degree  :P

Marksmanship sounds like a fun Physical Education elective to me.

I start today at Illinois. My classes are:discrete structures, computer architecture, linear algebra, and geography of international conflicts(the last of my gen eds). Sounds like it should be a fun semester.

Valmy, how intro is the class? Basic V = I*R stuff or more advanced?

I think it will be both V = I*R stuff and more advanced stuff.  I expect it to move pretty quickly.

Oh God, no.
Fanbois are the worst...

Even worse than apathy?

I'd assume so, because he'd have to read their 5,000 words of ranting why Abraham Lincoln was a tyrant.

Oh god, worse than apathy.

Apathy means crappy essays, never showing up...fanbois mean arguments in class about 300, hand raised every other sentence, inane statements, papers written on VELLUM (hand calligraphied), getting asked to be an SCA observer, conspiracy theories, wrong history, and stupid, stupid, stupid people.

...did I mention today is the 1st day of classes?
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

We start on Wednesday.  I need to go buy my gold embossed textbooks, written with ink made from the blood of medieval saints.  Because only that would explain why they are so expensive.

 I am more fervent than the others, its true, but the general opinion of the populace and professors alike at martin is pro-confederate.

I checked with my professor beforehand :)

Great anti-American traitors being fed inflamatory propaganda.

Sounds like a University alright.
