I left UT without my degree missing only the Freshman History and Government requirements on my course catalog. So when I signed up for Hornfans I figured I was a Texas Ex minus 6 hours. The career I had didn’t really require a degree so I just didn’t bother. I did end up finishing and graduating 17 years later after I had my first kid. Just to set a good example. So I’m class of 2010 but entered college in 1988. Reading textbooks and writing essays when you’re about to turn 40 sucks.

My favorite story about UT having big classes: I took Government as a freshman ('74-75), like you're supposed to, with about 250-350 other undergrads in Burdine Auditorium. That was long enough ago that the Prof (not a TA) did a lecture on each US President. Jefferson & Lincoln were inspiring. He did FDR from a wheelchair. I told my friend about this guy and told him you have to come hear his last lecture on Nixon. I wasn't the only one. The 500+ seat auditorium was packed, standing room only. "Nixon was the most corrupt ... The end." got the Prof a standing ovation. In a freshman Government class. It would have been criminal and a huge waste of resources to have him speaking to a group of 20-25 students. His lecture inspired me to go see all of Nixon's cronies that went on the speakers tour at LBJ Library. The last one being Senator "Sam" Ervin, Dem. NC, (chair, Senate Select Committee to Investigate Campaign Practices, also known as the Senate Watergate Committee). That was also a packed house so I knew to get there early. That's my bookends on taking Government at The University of Texas v. ACC or High School credit. What I heard cemented my beliefs on HS recruiting, and my disdain for all things OU, A&M & from what I knew, Alabama. Little known fact. Burdine Hall resembles a ForTran computer punch card. My scholarship paid for the Freshman Orientation week; yes, I slept in Kinsolving for a week. Hasn't everyone? UT did a multi-media slide/video show at Burdine Auditorium to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, a cloud of sweet smoke waifing though the air, and afterward we went to Nothing Strikes Back for ice cream in their Black Light/day glow dark room ("When the munchies strike... Nothing Strike Back"). Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day You fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town Waiting for someone or something to show you the way Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain And you are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today And then one day you find ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun Every time I hear Pink Floyd takes me back to 1974. Good Times & fond memories. Edited May 25May 25 by PTINS typo. text.

I just flailed around for the first couple years and went on SchoPro twice. I was just happy to still be in school and not getting beaten with wooden cooking spoons for failing out. I lived in Jester my first year, and had 808A Calculus at 8 am, from the Professor who wrote the book. I don't think I was looking for that arrangement, but that's was what I ended up with. Bad news. The kids for Dallas & Houston (Frats?) sat in the back doing crossword puzzles. I made in A in 808A, the second time I took it. I remember my Engineering advisor saying Calculus 808A and Physics 403 K were to separate the wheat from the chaff. 808B & 403L were for the science majors. Do you curve the grades? No, go to the business school. Do we get a walk the Friday before OU? No, go to the business school. In hindsight, it was the best thing that could have happened. I realized if I didn't focus on school, I was going to end up working in some kind of physical labor capacity. I never thought about changing my major, but the sum total of career guidance I had was 0.0. I did graduate as an engineer, migrated to the business/commercial side after ~ 8 years, and am comfortably retired. My uncle told me later, after I graduated, that if you're successful in business and life, you're going to need a banker, a lawyer, and a doctor. Cut to the chase and become one of the 3. I wish I knew that as a HS senior. I got offers from Engineering Schools, so i became an engineer. F*CK!!! I did graduate as an engineer, migrated to the business/commercial side, and am comfortably retired (see avatar). Yes! I'm also on a first name basis with my cardiologist, and am late in getting back to my finance and legal advisors. Double F*CK!!!
