I took five years as did the wife, but that was because I did two degrees, partied too much, and refused to study for the most part and the wife took five years because she did three degrees plus her extracurricular stuff.

As for the wait listing and less classes stuff, I went to a smaller school (SMU) so I guess I'm just use to the fact that upper classmen get first pick and if you don't register the first day you can, you aren't going to get the classes you want.

Oh. And for what it's worth I actually took 5 years.

I spent the first couple years not knowing what the fuck i wanted to do so i took even more varied classes. A number of history classes, history of the American musical, African American Literature, Creative Writing, Statistics, Historical Geology, Genetic Biology... a number of sociology classes.

Even after settling with Psychology I went with a double in sociology until that stopped being about learning about sociology and instead blaming people for stuff... which that one actually was the fault of a few bad teachers.

Then i took some marketing classes to see if i could bang out a minor in marketing. Really I took 5 years, and i'm about 1 more year away from getting a second major and a couple minors if i ever wanted to go back to the bachelors level instead of the graduate level.

You should do, It would be cool to have another Aston Villa fan around here.

I like the idea. If one country (Country Y) does it, then you pay tax on 100% of your profits in insert-tax-haven-here and tax on say 20% of your profits in Country Y. Total: 120%. The company would soon move to a country with this policy, so they only get charged on 100% of their profits rather than 120% or whatever.

It's self-reinforcing until every country adopts it.

You're right actually. It would certainly work well in that respect. I take back what I said, it would be a good idea because it is self-reinforcing.

major gasp o.o  my friend in california (not you :P) goes to a jr college right now and even those are having problems. The basic english class was wait listed at over 50 people, so they ended up bussing in a teacher to help with the over load.

My film school sold off its entire studio and shoved us in a crappy ill-equipped air-conditioned noisy room.

Bloody waste of time now. At least I'm only 7 weeks away from finishing.

I"m going to finish in 4.5 years. Would've been under four if I didn't have to take all this random shit entirely unrelated to my major. I'm in music. Why the fuck do I need to have 9 hours of foreign language?
