Early this morning when I woke up at the crack of dawn to feed my starving kittehs, Starbuck decided to award me by tripping me. I put my hand out to stop my fall, and I ended up stabbing it on a light switch on the wall. If you've ever wanted to know what getting stabbed by a light switch feels like... it hurts. Bad. >O
First time in a long time I have been so furious I felt like crying. My Patent professor was a complete idiot tonight and completely missed the point of a case we discussed - complete with messing up the relevant dates of the patents at issue - and then followed up his idiocy by calling on me and staring blankly at me after I gave him the answer.
This man keeps asking the same question even after you've given him the answer, and maybe by the third time you say it he blinks and tells you you are correct. In my case I actually had to say "Am I WRONG about it being a laserdisk? Because I'm pretty sure it's a laserdisk." It was, indeed, a laserdisk. I am starting to wonder if he suffers from chronic mini strokes or something.
The worst part is having to sit there in silence as he goes off in the wrong direction and not being able to correct him. With any other professor I would, but in this case I am confident that HE WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND THE WORDS COMING OUT OF MY MOUTH. ARGH!!!
The only saving grace of this class is that the book is so well-written it is sufficient to teach the material. Unfortunately I still have to show up in class and suffer through Mr. Fails at Communication.
I spent the night counting my flatmate's breaths to make sure she was above eight per minute, making sure she was lying on her side, and just generally checking on her while she slept to ensure I didn't need to call an ambulance for alcohol poisoning.

There there Nuri, Once in a while everyone gets the bad one. Just remember that the semester is nearly half way over.
Computer science doesn't seem to be my thing since I don't seem to get Java and I know it only gets harder from here. I really don't know what to go into now. I know you guys said IT is for people who couldn't do CS but I've tried IT and hated it. Urg.
Holding a seminar with other BA students discussing our future Masters projects. One girl said that she wanted to write it on Feminism in the Roman Republic. Words fail me. To compound this matter I had a real dude-bro say that he wanted to look at "Those dudes in ships with beards". When I asked him if he meant the Vikings he seemed very lost. I would have thought that I would not be dealing with these problems at this stage.

I suppose it would depend on what era they studied. Im Medieval and Ancient so I end up drinking weird wines and meads. I would imagine if you studied a more political aspect of modern history, and masqueraded as a historian, then you would properly get high a lot.

Go into product support. Or perhaps accounting.
What do you mean by IT?
IT as far as a real BS degree is concerned covers ALL of the following:
1. Scripting/coding 2. Web design 3. Database administration/design 4. System administration 5. Network administration/design 6. Hardware troubleshooting 7. Needs assessment 8. Support (generalized) 9. Theory (on hardware, software, networking, etc...)
What part of it aren't you enjoying? IT covers almost every aspect of computing.

Rym's right. In all seriousness, IT is incredibly broad and covers just about everything to do with computers. What makes you think you don't enjoy IT in its entirety? Maybe you just haven't found the thing you really enjoy.
Also, I added QA since it's what I do. And when you're not doing super tedious testing it becomes pretty interesting.

Fun times.
Hope it gets better.
