   fitzy5 replied to fitzy5's topic in General Students

   That's EXACTLY how our program works...I am sooo not approaching anyone. Then I go from being the student to the trouble maker with a big fat target on me. I just feel sooo stuck. And I really don't think I've learned very much. SIGH.

    fitzy5 posted a topic in General Students

    Help, I have two profs in this particular class/lecture. Good and Bad. At the beginning of the semester both wrote me up because I "didn't care about skills lab, and was unorganized". Bad went on to point out I needed to "put a cap on my personality"...
