By the time I graduated, four years later, I'd managed to pull my GPA up to a 1.78, and that was pretty good. Final year I also got to take one section of machine shop, and loved it, but was still not exactly what you could call smart...

I am about to graduate from my 2nd class in machine shop. I have to make some ACME threaded internal and external parts, and I'm about done. I hate people who were smarter than I am way younger! Now I have to go watch the rest of the video, and drool over your shop. Did I mention that I hated you? I had to go buy (and in many cases, fix) my own machines. My grandpa didn't own a machine shop. So you picked a better family, too! ARGH!!!

Ok, I feel better. Lemme watch that video!
