@rmd1023 @0xabad1dea Oh, one more thing! Admit it when the math is over your fucking head... and choose a major with helpful profs!

(that's how I went from electrical engineering, with Difficult Equations, to computer science, which is all ones and zeroes. (Well, and a little bit of probability and statistics - which we called Probably Sadistic, but it really wasn't actually that bad...) But yeah. EE and 17 hours had me at 2.0. CS and 12 hours had me a social life, a girlfriend, and a 3.4. DON'T BURN YOURSELF OUT.)

(OH, YEAH. Do NOT try to work full time, or even part-time, on a Seriously Full Load. If you need to work during class terms, limit yourself to minimum courseload. Ideally, get a job that helps your coursework. Or do the thing where you alternate quarters, one working full time for as big a bucks as you can get, one JUST doing school. That both will get you done AND look good on your CV. (That's "resume" in American.) )

I'm open to questions on these subjects, because I did not forget what it's like to be a Damn Poor Rat and not know what the fuck you're doing... and I will pay my hard-earned wisdom forward if I can. F this hazing of frosh, I want to HELP.
