I dropped out of Calc 3 @ UNCA when I was 15; it was interfering with me getting my dick sucked. 16 years later, guess what?, they won't accept my UNCA math credits so I have to take 'tard math. Electronics department head waived the math pre-req for me to take DC/AC circuit analysis after a ten minute conversation, but said he had no pull over the math classes and I had to get those credits for the degree. The adjunct who taught Algebra/Trig told his department head I was going to take Calc next semester, anything else was a waste of my time.

Truthfully, I could have placed into Calc if I had wanted to sit for 3-4 hours in the counselling office and then undergo an hour's worth of sub-SAT level standardized placement tests and a 15+ minute session with a failled Engrish teacher taking a ------- personality checklist and asking me all sorts of questions I either don't care or know to answer. I don't care for the bug under glass treatment I get when dealing with people and situations where I am expected to demonstrate tact, polite interest (a form of LIE), two dimensional aka linear thinking, empathy, etc., and I had a car to tune that afternoon. That was a no brainer. :P
