Ok, so ive been at my school for around 7 or 8 weeks nows(give or take). Im going to centenial college, supposidly the best automotive school in Ontario. For the 6 or 7 weeks ive been at school, ive been bored off my ass. The main reason im there is to learn about paint and get out of there 2 go into the trade as a painter. But heres the kicker, about 3 weeks into the course, my original paint teacher had a heartattack(hez fine thank god), but the guy whos replacing him, is covering the same crap as my old one did and doesnt know a thing about teaching. So im bored as hell, and frankly feel like my money is being wasted. So im kinda at a point now where i gotta figure out what im gonna do. My next semester starts like, next week or so, and it goes untill around x-mas time. So im kinda at a standstill..i kinda wanna just drop out and head right into working. Like finding a job for me shouldnt be to hard, ive done 4 years of highschool shop thats pretty much as indepth as the stuff they do over at centenial college for general mechanical, and ive worked for a year at a tuner shop near by and have spent countless hours working on friends cars. Hell when i was 17 i rebuilt a B18, turboed it and swaped it into an EK civic. I built a 12 second K20A2 powered all motor EG civic drag car. But at the same time im thinking that if things pickup next semester, then ill stick around. But i dunno. What do you guys think??

see, ur like me. Ive been tested my enitre life(i have a writing disability and a few LDs *learning disabilities*) and i didnt know it untill about a month or 2 b4 i started college, but apparently they did an IQ test on me at some time and they told me at the college that im a genius, but because of my LD's i cant get it out. Writing and readin is what holds me back, but when it comes 2 practical work, vocal work, stuff like that, every thing comes easy for me. Yea, i could go into law or w/e, but i dont want to, i dont wanna b in a suit, ever. Im honestly like on the verge of just walking out of class one of these days. Todays class, we were talking about frame design for body over frame cars and unibody cars, we r talking about c-channels on lader frames, one of the guys in the back of the class puts up his hand and asks about what he should do about changin the floor in his buddies 89 honda civic hatch back...we r talkin about unibody design, it took them 40 f*ckin minutes to figure out where the A, B, C, and D, pillar are. I was the one who had 2 dumb it down enough for them 2 under stand, I said A pillar is where u mount ur 5" monster tach you dont need on ur automatic civic hatch, ur B pillar is where ur seat belt is bolted in, and ur C pillar is where ur hatch comes down. They got it right then n there. But i mean, i have to put up with crap like this every day..or worse. I was talking to a few of my friends today and they are even thinking of droping out cuz we cant put up with this crap/lack of teaching. I mean, i went for paint, our paint section of the shop isnt open yet/our paint booth isnt set up yet. The school got $1 million dollars over the summer to do renovations and get new machines, Its now almost end of october, they still arent finished, it was suppost 2 be done august 31st. Like im just gettin sick n tires of learning stuff i already know, puttin up with listenin 2 these kids in my class who dont know their ass from their hand, and not having enough or any equipment for training.
