Grocery bill is now on Arkansas… and he won’t be home for Thanksgiving for the next 4 yrs
significantly better. Yoga works
If he has trouble adding the 30 pounds fast, feel free to let him reach out to me. I have found the secret to it with very little effort involved, though it might not show up where he wants it 😂
Right there with you
I feel for you @texdawg My son was a National Merit Scholar and went to UNC to double major in Business and Economics. He was exempt from so many courses that he had to do these type courses (drama, music, art etc) for the first 2 years as you had to be enrolled in UNC for 2 years before being allowed into the business school. Ultimately this hurt his overall GPA (still good but...) which seems ridiculous!
Congratulations.
Fayetteville is a nice town. Arkansas should be a good place to study and play football. Being in a position to redshirt at any SEC school is a very big deal. I'm sure you know all that.
Thanks for catching us up on his adventure and progress.
Go, Dawgs!
Thanks for sharing this info. Congratulations to you and your son on this next milestone!
The summer classes remind me of a UGA friend who told his dad he needed to take summer courses in Athens to get his GPA up. He really just wanted to party and have fun, so all he signed up for was Tennis 🎾 !
All was going fine until his dad got the report card mailed to his parents house in Atlanta and saw this one class listed, which being a PE course was only pass/fail and had no effect on his GPA!! As we used to say back in the day, “Busted!”
This is slightly off topic, but can anyone share the “Easy A” courses they recall from UGA days? There was one called “Insects and Man” in the entomology department that we jokingly called “Bugs for Thugs.”
My roommate took “Advanced First Aid” and wrote “easy A” on the index card as his reason for taking the course.
I took “Contemporary Georgia” to fulfill my Georgia history requirement, but I got a new teacher and it turned out to be a pain with much more work than expected.
Remember basketball 101 with the coach's son as teacher?
Walking
I remember that class. It was a walk in the park, actually.
Those French have a different word for everything!
I don't remember any "Easy A" courses at WAZZU, but back in the day I believe you just paid a flat fee as a full time student and you could take as many electives as you wanted. Some of my favorite electives that I took were Racquetball, Weightlifting, Self Defense, Advanced Soccer, Boxing 1 and Boxing 2, and First Aid. Those classes certainly boosted my GPA!
parlez vous francais?
I'm surprised that Arky doesn't have them starting with some core classes like English 101 or a Math. He will have to take those eventually, might as well knock those out over the summer when you are only taking one class at a time. I loved summer classes. Smaller classes, easy parking on campus, profs were generally pretty chill...
It's like those French have a different word for everything - YouTube
Un peu
The worst part of french was remembering which words were masculine or feminine.
The best part of English was making all words neuter. Chairs and tables don’t have genders
I didn’t know the French had masculine words
Hah!!! 🤣😎
