international studies and sociology and a double minor in nonprofit administration and African studies. She ... took challenging courses,

Bull. Not in those fields.

Challenging=calculus. I'm bettin' that wasn't anywhere to be found on her transcript.

[hinckley buzzard]

Just so. Illustrates the emerging awareness that anything ending in "studies" is worthless. And she has two of them.

Not all Intl studies are that easy. I took one as a second major. Four classes in economics and three years of a foreign language.

I took sociology. That was a frikking joke, but at the time, I remember being completely enamored of it. Some years later, I realized that it was collectivist BS.

Hard? Physical Chemistry nearly gave me a nervous breakdown, it was so close to the edge of what I was able to comprehend.

Sociology was a joke. African Studies? Yeah, that will get you a job in the government somewhere.

And, of course, these morons in power think a degree in “non-profit administration” is the end-all and be-all of anything to aspire to.

calculus

Has a lot in common with a emasculatome, both are ba** busters. I remember my first big test, I made 35, about the top of the normal bell cure for the class, some Japanese kid made 95. I dropped the class the next day.

Calculus is one thing. In depth study of Middle Eastern history is another. Having taken both at the same time I'd say Calculus is a pud course ~ 10 minutes of study a day MAX! ME History required refurbishing reading knowledge of Spanish and French, and studying the geography of the entire Moslem World ~ and that was just to keep up with the guy teaching the course ~ the world's foremost expert concerning the Kurds.

It was a bear and a half, and all the people in the course worked for Air Force intelligence ~ except me!

calculus..pshaw! Try Organic Chem, second semester. Hardest course in college. Don’t bother working that semester if you want “A” performance.
