Back to school, again.

So I'm currently in the U.S. Navy but am back at university (as they say in Europe) working on whether comes after a Masters Degree but it's not a PhD. They won't pay for that and it's not two more years. Anyway. What ever happened to the good old days when the first week was getting books, learning names, finding out where the classes are, and if anyone likes you / who the cute people are. I go for my first class ( it was January) and we get the professors name and expectations (5 min) then have a 10,000 word paper assignment for next week! One of a total of five. Finishing 5th one this weekend. Why isn't this like I was taught? Revenge of the Nerds and Rodney Dangerfeild (Back to School) lied to me? Where are the food fights and beer bong parties?

I don't like how things have changed since the 80s.

Well, off to finish a monster paper on the value and importance of the Endicott era coastal shore batteries and how they shaped the future of both port protection and amphibious invasion.
