I was once the only person sitting in a physics lecture, but hey the lecturer invited me for lunch at a nearby restaurant to talk over the topic  8) It turned out that that crappy looking restaurant offered great food for cheap and actually looked nice from the inside.
Glad you had a good time, I was once the only person having a (personally horrible) subject for two weeks in high school :(

We had to choose between art, music and drama. I was the only person who chose the last one (bad buchno!), which put me alone with a whole other class, and they decided to go on a trip for half a month in the middle of the term.

I wasn't even allowed to go home during that time (else I'd get marked as a truant), the teacher and I were to sit and discuss drama stuff all alone every lesson...

I mean if you go to a university with like 100+ people in the class it's impossible. About the only thing they can do is just give quizzes so the people that showed up get rewarded while the ones that skipped are kinda fucked. That's a good reason though to do as above mentioned.

I don't get it. People pay good money in America for universities and yet they can't get a better ratio of students per teacher?

In other news I met my old teacher in the evening classes I am taking. Told him my story and how I want to re-educate myself from the electronics field before it becomes completely dead in my country. He on other hand being my former (analogue) electronics teacher told me how he had to re-educate himself for another subject because there was no point teaching electronics any more.

Ah... it's good to know I am not the only one.
For one thing, Tiff is not on any level what I would call a typical American.  She's not what I would consider a typical person.  I don't know any other genius geneticist anime-fan martial artist marksman model-level beauties, do you?

Thanks for the input guys. My school doesn't take attendance, but I think I'll go to the majority of my lectures from now on. You guys made some good points and it's probably better for me in the long run anyway. I appreciate it. :>

Honestly, attend on a course by course basis. If it's not worth your time, don't go, or don't go and do other work in the class if you feel obliged to attend.
I tend to have this obligation, as I see how much school is costing me and cry. I feel like I should try and get everything out of it that I can.

Exhibit A: My Money and Banking prof cannot speak English to save her life, and she's also a PHD candidate, thus has next to zero experience teaching. It is one of the most painful experiences. I know she's trying, but holy hell is she failing at it so far.

I'm gunna leave you anyway.

First time using dark soy sauce. Ingredients will be steamed cut potatoes (unpeeled), fresh cut onions, fresh cut bella mushrooms, crap meat. Don't think I have anything else to add, probably light pepper for seasoning. It will accumulate to about 4-6 servings. I'm thinking two tea-spoons of dark soy sauce? How strong is the taste? How thick is it? I know I only put like no more than two tea-spoons of soy sauce and a max of three in large servings.

Well people, give me your knowledge.

Just add ingredients at your leisure, and I suggest putting the chicken in a plastic baggie rather than doing it by hand since it's way less messy. I do more sauce and add stuff like broccoli, baby corn, water chestnuts, button mushrooms, carrots, and so on.

It makes a lot too, so if you wanted to you could store the prepared components separately and then throw them all together to fix them like your own pre-made stir-fry chinese dinners like you could get from stores that essentially follow the same principle. Just keep the chicken/sauce/veggies separate. Then you just re-heat the chicken in a wok with a bit of oil for like 3 mins, take it out, then toss in the sauce and veggies and let that all get defrosted and such for about 3 mins, then put the chicken back in and just incorporate everything. Pretty easy stuff!

Oh and the chicken is a lot easier and less wasteful of oil if you do it in a deep fat fryer, just add them individually with tongs.

And most of the veggies you can just boil for like 5-10 mins so those are super easy.

Comedy, twists, awesomeness. Before you get to the half of the season, I suggest to make lots of time to watch it in full go because it will get crazy fucking good and very twisted.

Okay, first episode done... is it alright to be utterly confused by Steins;Gate? There is zero context to this show already.

It's not a sequel, they both just have the same setting.

Plus a lot of people, myself included, felt that Chaos;Head's VN adaptation was ten times better than the anime. So if you want to get the content, I highly recommend the VN.

If you had one parent from Sweden and another from the US and were born in Canada would you have a triple citizenship to each of the 3 countries? o_O

I think your parents can get you dual citizen ship between the US and Sweden as long as your under 18, if your over 18 I think you have to apply yourself.  As for Canada you'd just have to apply unless you were born and continued to live there after birth then it might be given.

In all a lot of paperwork. I think.....
