I do Tafe in Australia. I don't know what that the equivalent of that is in American. I'm going to guess college. And to people greifing college you might want to look into changing courses. Generally if your not enjoying what your doing, your doing the wrong thing. I cant remember where I heard it but someone once said "If you do what you love you will never be working a day in your life"
Yeah the most different thing is its entirely driven by you. You can bugger off in the middle of a lesson and not come back until the next day. They don't care, you're the one paying out the arse for the course. Also you can swear and talk to your hearts content, as long as you arnt distracting other people who are paying attention.slowpoke999 said:
First year of college. Loving it loads, studying Games Development and design...
Funny, hated school because of bullying but if i could turn back time and remove the bullies, i wouldn't mind re-doing it again, as long as i still get where i am right now (in other words, yes improve my grades but don't bother doing anything until 2009 whereby sign up to Newcastle college for the course im doing now, meet my boyfriend and end up right where im lying now which is on my bed doing assignments).

I'm in my second year of college, but I spent seven years in the Army right after high-school. I think education is a good thing so long as you keep everything in perspective. You don't have to be obsessed with school and eschew a social life, but on the other hand: don't get caught up in the partying. Maintain respectable grades and make a social network with the teachers that have degrees in the field you want to go in. It'll make internships a lot easier to find and you'll likely have a job waiting for you when you graduate. Partying is great, but graduating early and making a lot of money just seems better to me. Besides, once you've got that high-paying job you can take vacation time and go do whatever the hell you want because you'll have the fiscal means to support your impulses.
On that note, I was recently corrected by an instructor here in the US. I was told that "College" generally refers to a 2-year community school, technical school, or a specialized school. "University" is reserved for a 4-year or greater school. I was totally ignorant on the subject and reffered to our University as "college" in my teacher's presence, he was moderately miffed. It might also have to do with the fact that I always forget to call him "Dr."Trilby said:
High School. I think I liked middle school better. At least the bathrooms didn't smell like cigarette smoke in middle school.

I assume he is employed in the printing industry.
OT: School's gotten better, a lot better. Hell, I didn't realise how awful it was until it got better.
College soon too, that'll be a pain. Seeing as I'll have to socialise and sound more intelligent than a 12 year old schoolboy.
