Starting college on Thursday. I have to seriously catch up with Math. I am lucky I still know how to add and subtract. So I am far, far behind in Math. I am expecting either retards or older guys like me in the classes.
I got Ancient History of Western Civilizations, Alegbra 2, College English and Orientation to Engineering class. Yes I am going to attempt at Engineering. The History class is an elective that was literally a coin toss between that and Medeval Europe.
This is being paid by the GI Bill. Free room & board, books and tuitition. I am looking at this as a job that instead of turning a wrench for ten hours a day, I am learning for 2 hours in class and whatever I can squeeze between the beer drinking.
Anyone would like to tell me what to expect? Recommendations? Tips?
