Title: First day of college, done!
Post by: Flipperk on August 25, 2009, 07:17:23 AM: Well guys its tuesday and I was going to post this last night, but I was too tired when I got home last night to do so. I just got hired at the IBC Bank (International Bank of Commerce) about a month ago I have been in training since then, which requires me to drive to downtown Houston Mon-Fri 9-5. So I had no choice but to take evening classes this semester. BUT COLLEGE IS AWESOME!! Yes its school, but I feel like im actually there for a REAL purpose, I also feel like my professors give their students alot more respect for their opinions than my HS teachers, which is great, ecspecially in my Government class :P

Sorry for a short post, just woke up and I need to get ready to head back to downtown to finish up my training, have two more weeks then back to my home branch.

But yeah, a Old chapter closed, and a new chapter has began.

For those who live in the major cities and towns in Texas and Oklahoma you probably heard of IBC.

Doesn't really sound like he's getting too much of a free ride if he's working a 40 and doing night class.
Congrats on the job and good luck on the studies :aok

Also, I don't buy that "best time of life blah blah" cliched mess. Am I the only one in their mid 20's who enjoys life just as much outside of school as they did in, albeit in different ways? Maybe I just didn't have as much fun as everyone else in college... I was under the impression I was there to learn something. :rolleyes:

ok, ok, I guess I can only speak for myself, I loved it, and I wish/hope for others to enjoy it too.

Mid thirties now, but definately agree. My mid twenties rocked. Its like college except with more money and less stress. Thirties are going not too bad too although work has a bad habit of getting in the way of having fun these days and the recovery times from big nights out are measured in weeks. :confused:
