Gee, what a coincidence, Walt. Not that it'll make you feel any happier, but I, too, spent some time at Tech on Academic Probation. I finally did graduate -- and then was greeted by the folks in the placement office -- the ones that help find jobs (not that you'll have trouble, what with being in ROTC) -- who told me - "Jon, with your degree in Libefral Arts -- well, son, we've got about 700 firms coming here to interview graduates for jobs this year -- and not one of them will be interested in hiring you!" Gee, thanks, fellas. So what'd I do? I got busy with the university radio station, which was just then growing from ten watts to 100,000, and was appointed to a full-time staff position at WGGL-FM.
Persevere, Walt, and don't give up a little fun. Winter Carnival is coming in a few more weeks, and you really should take a few minutes out of the study room to enjoy the spectacle. Have fun, study hard, get good grades -- and you'll win in the long run.
