I go back to school on the 5th of September.

Calculus, Physics, Programming Theory, and Introduction to Modern Africa.
The last one is a "Global Diversity Gen-Ed".

I get to buy $600 worth of books next week... yay...

My cupboards are stocked with pasta, rice, and other staples while I dish out tuition every month... no more steak or scallops... back to poverty until late Spring!

 

[buckytom]

j/k nick. i'm very crispy today.

programing theory as in computer programing. if so thats cool. i start my network and computer engineering classes. i really need to take a math and chemistry class.

 

[Nicholas Mosher]

Yeah, it's a class that focuses on modeling real world situations into code - how to do it efficiently and effectively. We're using object-orientated programming - VB.

It's my second year back in school. Out of high school I did a year of the Engineering program at UMass. Last year I went back and did a year in the Business curriculum, but this year I'm back in Engineering (aiming for Electrical).

I`m looking forwards to september enrolement week also, there`s specific areas of Chemistry I want to brush up on, as I`m a little Rusty in some areas of Organics.

yes, Education is a Very Exciting thing I agree

 

[LT72884]

ahh, an EE huh. thats cool. i have a friend who is an EE and he designs wireless devices for linksys and other companies. he deals with networking and home automation

 

[LT72884]

yes school is awesome and exciting.

I like long walks on the beach, but if that's you on the right, you're too young for me. j/k Welcome to DC.

 

[LT72884]

EDIT

Wow, programming theory. When I was in college a prof came in on the first day of class and told us some of the assignments would require us writing programs in Fortran (yes it was a few years ago).

It was not a computer course, it was just the assignments could only be completed on the computer.

And the first assignment would be due in less than a week. No one was going to explain how to write code to us, we were just responsible for doing it. A whole lot of us bought a book on Fortran, learned how to use punch cards, and taught ourselves to write programs in a hurry. (Punch cards actually were a luxury, I learned a few years later. Had no choice but to use paper tape. There is nothing more frustrating at 3 AM than watching your paper tape come out of the reader like confetti.)

Anyway we students worked out butts off trying to learn Fortran.

I guess in those days the theory of programming was to tell the students they would learn Fortran or fail.

We learned a lot in a hurry though.

Am just glad I don't have to go back to the classroom again.

Good luck.

My son doesn't go back until tomorrow. My nieces started last Thursday.

 

[LT72884]

Dang he is lucky. I do love school though. So are they in elementary or middle school or high school.

Well, I don't go to school, but I'm excited about my teens starting tomorrow. My 3 year old has preschool orientation tomorrow too, he starts his first year of preschool next week. Only two short mornings a week, though.

 

[LT72884]
