College

Does anyone else go to or is going to go to Salisbury University?

No sorry where is that?

On a similar note, anyone who is going or currently at George Mason University in Fairfax, VA?

No but I have some friends who are. From what I've heard , they'll work you pretty hard.

I have taken a long break from school but I wonder if I should go back? There were many things that I wanted to do but I could never decide on what I wanted. At first I wanted to be a doctor but I realized that IO didn't have the passion for medicine. I also wanted to be a programmer but I realized that I am not that good at Advanced Math, I also wanted to be an Engineer although I also realized I need to do Advanced math as well. There are lots of things that I wanted to do but I don't know if I should stick to one career. What should I do?

I would suggest getting hold of some sort of advisor, either from the school you used to be in or asking at the college/university you are interested in studying at. Tell him/her about the paths you are interested in, and they should help you figure out what you'd like to focus on.

In other news, B on my Human Rights exam! My average grade is safe!

Got my acceptance letter to grad school in the mail.

EDIT: To be more exact, it's for History.

I am gonna either go into a sport next semester in college, or get into another class related to weight lifting. Fitness really intrigues me.

If I work on this and learning better writing just as well, maybe I could have some interesting prospects once I'm through.

Congrads!

Now to suffer through ideally two years of wondering why the heck you thought grad school was a good idea.

Speaking of grad school, I'm in the process of pushing my thesis proposal through. Along with the usual end of semester work.

Welp... I just found out that I failed. I was home sick for about a month, and during that month was an event-based assignment worth a third of my class grade. So even if I did everything else flawlessly (which I didn't), the highest possible grade I can hope for is 67%.

I'm not in very good shape about it. I was already severely depressed, and, now, well...

I'm all moved out of Residence, packed, cleaned out of my room all that. I managed to lock myself out that morning, now the doors lock automatically if they are closed, and they tend to close quite easily, anyways there was a spider in my laundry basket, this was at about 6:30 in the morning I let the spider out, without putting shoes on (I was still in my pyjamas and barefoot, also hadn't brushed my hair) because I figured it would only be a second and it was, but the door had closed behind me, and the lounge wasn't open yet so I couldn't get at it without a key and figure out the residence adviser on duty, eventually I heard some people and one waved and I told them I was locked out, and they pointed me towards the residence advisers door (though I must have been quite a sight, in my pyjamas, barefoot, hair all messed up, carrying a laundry basket) and I woke him up but got back to my room.

Well it's now semi-official,I'm taking a semester off. (Because that's what happens when you get forced to stay into the Summer, the calendar pushes on the next year too early,and you otherwise live on the opposite side of the country)

Why isn't it official,because apparently Exit Counseling for loans also applies to non permanent leaves as well. I'll have to start that part up when I return for the forced Summer term [because any language that isn't Spanish is threatened to be cut,the sig tells you what language I'm actually taking]

Damn don't I wish this was all out of pocket. (Actually don't I wish I had a time machine or Click remote to skip ahead 5 years,but that's beside the point)

On the bright side, next week is the last day of classes for the semester (I'd say year,but Summer term)

Take home test due tomorrow. And all I want to do is curl into a ball and hide.

I feel like I'm going to going to barely pass this class. Wouldn't be too surprised if I didn't manage that.

...Two more weeks.

So, time for a new course, Legal History. Message from the course leader appeared on the online noticeboard:

"There has been a change in the curriculum. The article "An unexpected journey" has been replaced with "Live and Let Die"."

...I think I'm gonna like this course.

Five pages into a 8-10 page paper that's due tomorrow. I'm probably only going to make 7 pages.

Yay for waiting until the last minute to do crap. In my defense I've had a lot of other stuff to do. This paper wasn't too high on the priority list until this weekend. And I still have to make the powerpoint for the presentation I have to give on the same topic Wednesday.

@Murky Good luck.

Oh my God - the wait for college seems forever! Between dumb teachers, senioritis, and AP tests, I am just counting down the seconds. Not to mention, my mom is being way more clingy and involved involved in my life. I love her and all but I just can't wait to get the hell out of here and experience life on my own. FALL SEMESTER START SOON!

On the home stretch now. Halfway through fifth year.

Please God don't let me fail and have to do this year again.

Who the hell thought Saturday finals were a good idea?

I want to know who thought Saturday classes in general were a good idea. I took one once. It was an evil...snail.

I don't think my college has Saturday classes. The closest they get is some Friday classes go until like 8pm. For which I am thankful.

I should finish up the last few minor assignments I have, but now that I've finished all the big stuff (finals, papers, presentations) I don't want to do anything...

I should have mentioned , salisbury U is in Maryland

I have a final for programming that I've barely started and it's due tomorrow. I may or may not muddle through.

Please allow me to gush over my Legal History professor for a moment. First of all, he's the best lecturer in all of Law, making 2 hours of lectures at 8 AM fly past with a lot of interesting and exciting facts and explanations of legal development in Europe and in Norway. Second, his book is easily one of the easiest to read and yet most educating we've had thus far. Third, when I went up to him after today's lecture to ask about a part that had me confused, he presented me with a collection of Middle Ages court judgements, all on the subject of musicians (because he knows I'm in the student orchestra) compiled just for me! He'd made another collection for another student who's really interested in the subject as well.

I love this subject so much thanks to him. I might abandon my dream of becoming an author just to study legal history more in-depth.
