I dunno why but I am having the hardest of times trying to concentrate right now in school. I dunno if it's just that I got myself into more that I thought for classes or what. I found out Friday after talking with my fluids instructor that I seemed to have gotten myself into a bit more than I thought when I signed up for that class. When I looked at the class description the only prequsites were of physics and math 112(trig). I have those two classes but when i talked with my instructor and since it's a junior level class, I should have already taken Statics and Calculus 2. Well, since I'm only taking calculus 1 right now, I'm kinda in over my head. So I've got to work REALLY hard in order to finish that class.
I am dropping my solid modeling course and sooooooooooo happy that I am. I freaking hate my instructor. Thursday she told me that I need to drop all my thinking of a machinst and start thinking like an engineer. So, I shouldn't think how the part is going to be but only be concered with how to draw a part. Yet from all my outside resources at companies that I talked to, they all say that the best engineer is one who knows how the part can be made. To think, this instructor was just telling me that I shouldn't be concerned with how a part is to be made. The funny part on thursday was that I totally confused her when I was explaining about how I got a dimension on a print. It's like she couldn't read the print. When i went on my whole venting session after being in digust of what I was told I called me dad and explain to him about it. He couldn't believe it and thought she was dumb, also kind of wondered what a teacher she was. blaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
