University Screwed up... REAL bad.

So this year is promising to be an interesting one. Because for one, it has raped my schedule and life for the next 2 months.

Lets begin from the beginning.

I walked into this semester with a rather strange schedule, the classes I had picked and the classes I wanted, simply did not show up, and in their stead somewhat random classes. For example, I had Discrete Math 2 in the second semester, yet I did not have Discrete Math 1, I had said I wanted both throughout the year, yet they gave me 2 without giving me 1... should have right there and then figured something was messed. I had figured, maybe I was supposed to do these classes over what I picked *i'm in Computer Science Major*, and so didn't make a sound.

It came to my attention these classes did not seem to make any sense to me, and the level of difficulty was quite... high.

I made an appointment with the admission office to talk to them about these courses.

The hardest course I was taking, was hard, because the class needed 2 pre-requisate classes. Both of which I did not have...

"Okay, so what the hell happened here?!" was my first question, because truthfully, why would the system give me this class?

They didn't know, and so instead they had to reshuffle my classes 3 weeks into the semester.

For those who don't know, in most University Majors you have 3 tests, each test is worth 20-35% of your final grade. And the final can be 30-50%. I have been given Physics and Linear Algebra as new courses, 3 weeks late, and the first midterms are in 2 weeks.

So now i've got 2 courses to catch up on, AND already 2 courses to maintain, 3 of which are math, and 1 of which is rather simple, no problem.

In short my dear Newgrounders.

I. am. BONED

As of such, I will be shutting down all fronts of Newgrounds. For the next 2 months, I shall cease to exist. For those who care, i'm sorry, for those who don't, don't let the same thing happen to you.

Don't worry, when it's all over you can go back to doing nothing all day.

Hopefully you got all your classes sorted out

Waaaaahahaaaaah *sobz sobz* :'( how am I gonna exist without new MaestroRage songs?? For 2 MONTHS?? Aaaaaaaargh!! *runs around panicking* I need my scheduled doses of classical! Anyway, I know school can really get in the way of composing, or playing, or anything. And I'm only in secondary school! I'm scared of the university now O_O' But, I understand it's more important. So good luck for scraping yourself up, and PLEEEAZE don't forget to come back after that!! Ng needs you!

How'd that happen? o_O All I can really say is "ouch..." Which is, of course, an understatement, from the looks of things... XD

Definitely some tough luck... :\ I'll be looking forward to two months from now, then. :( Hope it works out.

OUCH! Man, I knew University was bad, but not this bad! I certainly hope you make it through this gauntlet Maestro. I'll keep you in my prayers my friend. May God be with you.

Wow, if you can pull out alright with two new classes three weeks in, I'd be impressed.

That really sucks, those guys fucked up bad.

Sucks on the University situation, try to enjoy the people side and if it means an extra semester, the rest of life can seem to wait.

Plus your mixes are incredible. I have searched for a composer to the music of Shadow of the Colossus (Kow Otani) and have been dyting to hear that type of music. Your's comes close. Great job.

Damn the university, damn it :(

Son of a...

At any rate sorry to hear it..I would be HIGHLY upset with the university aswell..actually I AM upset with it, because now we all miss out on your music for 2 months D:

I don't think you have the ability in you to completely stop making any music though ; ).

On a different note..I shall egarly (butchered that word) await your return!

Oh noes buddy. I'm sorry to hear all this. I shall be missing you terribly in this time. I'm just starting my new stuff. And guess what... I've FINALLY moved onto VST's. That's right. I spent over $1000 on a new microphone set-up (Hella sweet) and it came with Cubase. I've learned the ins and out... now all I need is VST's.

IT's time I sent you those DVD's. I need your address mate.

I'm sorry I can't send you good marks :( and happy endings :).

I want to be back in full with you again mate. And making true collaborations.

Lets make this happen. And good luck my dear friend.

Fuck the bastards, Maestroman. Fuck 'em hard. Oh yeah. Just like that.

...hey. Don't watch me while I'm doing that. It's private.
