...where life is... well... not necessarily fun, but doesn't make you cry all the time.
...where I can take all the (programming) classes I want to take, and none of the (hardware) classes they make me take because I'm a fucking engineer.
...where history and english are classes you take for fun... not classes you cannot take because they don't apply.
...where if you have too much to do, you just get done what you can, and people appreciate your efforts without bashing you for the things you didn't finish.
...where people don't assume you IQ based on your major and GPA.
...where you can change your major with losing classes or semesters.
...where profs don't penalize you for being sick, and they don't tell you that you're stupid because you fail to grasp a theory.
...where tests never make you cry, or make you stay up all night worrying/studying
...where when you hurt you can go home... not sit through 2 hours of lecture you won't remember anyway.
...where people who hit you with cars stop and ask if you're ok.
...where group members actually get their stuff done on time, without leaving you to fret or write a presentation on the fly.
...where roommates are just that... roommates. Not sisters, or lecturers, or parasites, or a source of tension. Just someone you share a room with.
...where friends and school never conflict... and homework waits for friends who need advice.
...where AIM conveys tones of voice, not just words.
... and where people are happy, and never stressed or pissy.
That would be my perfect world.
