Kev, I ran into a guy once back in uni who was working full time and taking 18 hours in senior level computer science, yet still doing well in both. He obviously didn't have a life, not that I asked, but it can be done... somehow.

I know another guy who's a CIO and usually sleeps no more than 5 hours a day. The two probably run similar schedules? I've heard of some higher-ups that only run 3 hours.

(Just a random side-note guess, but they're either single or at high risk of divorce. ;) )

That's ridiculous! I'm in my junior year and I'm barely getting by taking 16 hours at Rice, doing research for my prof logging about 12 hours a week, and tutoring for some extra cash.

There's a difference between 16 hours at Rice and 18 hours at UHCL. Lets leave it at that.

btw, I'm not slamming UHCL. I transferred there from Baylor, in search of a better football team.




Found it.

Not UHCL, the main campus. But even then, yes there probably is. That was also why I mentioned the "senior level" part, though. I think KevC is a sophomore or maybe junior and UH's main campus has some reasonably tricky professors to navigate through 4th year CS classes with.

Junior. It's getting pretty rough. I'm an electrical engineer.

I am doing too 16 hours at Utah Valley University, and doing 40 hours a week... But I must say I said no to social life for this semesters. I took volume of classes because all of them are pretty easy. I am 2 weeks ahead on math homework already.

That's some tough **** 16hrs + 40hrs of work, I'm taking 16 hrs of mainly science related courses, and I thought I was doing something hard.

i always prefer young female for massage (i love China :P )
feminine looking guy? hell no


So some lady approached me somewhere, I forget what I was at, and told me that most of the young looking girls at massage parlors around houston are actually bought/sold sex slaves. They had a lot of pamphlets and everything.

I said :o and went on with whatever it was we were doing.

There is lots of documentaries of the unfortunate reputation that Houston has of being household of human trafficking. It is very unfortunate, and I don't like bringing it up, because it is very dark, but it is a serious problem. Honestly, it opens a view of how modern bordels run.

Becareful with those people if you ever try going there. They are dangerous.
