Hey snax, I took the general courses already a few years ago.... except math and science....... I don't know how algebra, am I screwed?


You did, actually, you did... I remember this now. Dar. Speak the name of the Beastmaster. :facepalm: I remember we even talked about it. :lol:

Re: algebra, no, but they'll make you take a not-for-credit course, like M100 or someshit, before you can take any of the real maths. So you're screwed, but only in the time/money sense.

Science, there's probably a Survey Of Science or equivalent and some stuff you don't need math skills for. I took an Environmental Science course myself, that was taught by this awesome old Bulgarian d00d who was a physicist from the Soviet Bloc and ranted about the government a lot. :lol: I wrote a bunch of papers and did not have to math once throughout. :tu:


oye.. i already took the basic non-credit math class and was like fuck this shit.










btw guys.. look at me! i took the meyer briggs personality test

My greatest strength is having a real view on myself. I'm stupid, I'm in this mess because I put myself here. I like chaos maybe.. I had a really good life! I was concrete, but it was boring. So I rustled things up.. and look where I am now!...... It's a good thing I'm beautiful :o


If your "real" view of your self shows you as stupid, then your view needs rejiggering. You respond very quickly and creatively to stimuli and challenges. You are perceptive and intelligent.

I would suggest that perhaps, at least for a while, you might switch from booze to coffee. I don't think you are likely to be able to party your way back to stability.

I could be wrong though.

In truth, not partying in and of itself hasn't provided me with stability just yet.

But no, i am probably right.


You may be right, but.. I party it up to get my mind off of things, I am way too emotional of a person,.. while maybe not the wisest in my life decisions I am incredibly street smart. I wonder where I'll be in a year from now.. I think I asked myself this question a year ago.. I think I'm in the same place I was a year ago.

here's a problem. You are smart. There's usually a problem with the smart artsy types, especially those who are good looking. You know how to get by, as many of us here. We seem to flock together don't we. Excuse me if I have it wrong but from our limited conversation on maps v1 I know you are talented and smart. I think the issue with college is unless you have a definite plan of what the fuck you want to do, college will be a time killer only. I went to college, and most of my friends did too, but realistically only about 10% are doing what they went to college for. If you just need something to get grounded, then ok, go for it, or if you really know what the hell you want to do besides music, then it's a good idea. Other wise you may just be spending money into a system that won't give you what you put into it.

In some ways at least, you're not far off the mark there, as far as my knowledge of your current situation goes. :( :?

Last year I said, "I wonder where I'll be in a year from now, life can't get worse!..It can only get better!" I didn't take into account that.. it could also stay the same.

I did a lot of moving around this past year, holy shit.. did I do a lot of moving around. I was back in Italy for a while, I was in New York, I was all over the east coast, I traveled way too much.. but exactly a year ago.. I was where I am now. Just.. with a more concrete HOME to live in. Just kinda.. making music in hopes of getting famous, living day to day, drinking every day, cigarette ashes all over and around my bed.. that was on the floor without a frame.. just a mattress on the floor. A few candles surrounding me, my computer, my midi keyboard a few amps. I'm minus a lot of my life right now.. but it's still the same.

You probably would have seen that. :lol: But the "I" part probably would surprise other people, I think.
