Physics 580 30th Percentile. Ohhh you know your jealous that or I am an idiot. I think its a bit of both. Sad part is I just won the award for the being the best senior physics major. Its just hard to have time to study when you go to school and work a full time job. Well itll get me in where I want to go.

where's your school?
I just asked for a transfer to engineering school from physics.. I just scared if I can't get at least second upper in my school it would be doom and gloom because I think it's going to be hard to find job if I don't go to grad. school. Now my prof. wants to talk to me about that. I just feel so old for physics, I am almost 28 btw this year and I am still freshman.
