I really hope my girlfriend can go to U of I. I'm in the middle of a Skype conversation but she is being lectured by her mom right now. Her mom and dad were just arguing about her decision on picking U of I...and now her mom is talking to her about something...probably to persuade her not to go here...even though they told her initially she can go wherever she wants... and now that she decided on U of I...they are like shit....they really don't like me...I hope it doesn't cost her attending here though...some parents man...

Found out what they said....told her not to do engineering at U of I (one of the top engineering schools in the NATION!) because engineers are in high demand. She probably won't get a job. And they don't get paid well (her PARENTS! are engineers!) and that civil engineering is a bad option, they told her America is pretty much developed, no need for new buildings. -__- And the worse thing is she said "eh, it's kind of true." Now I didn't refute anything her parents told her because if I did she would get all quiet and moody and then angry on me so I just chose to keep my feelings of "YOUR PARENTS ARE RIDICULOUS AND FULL OF BULLSHIT TO THE BRIM". But seriously. Everything they told her is complete bullshit, and it's all cause of me...

I've brought our kids to the enginreeng/agriculture open house for the last two years. Both of my sisters kids are in engineering at the U of I., and yes there are jobs waiting for them. I highly recommend the open house, lots of cool stuff geared towards our kids ages 9, 11, and 13. They are really excited about school, and some day going to college, because of our visits. Given your girlfriend's parents mental capacity, perhaps you should invite them.

I'm going into civil engineering at also one of top engineering schools in the NATION. All I can say is what the fuck?
