I start my freshman year at De Anza College Monday. Studying Computer Science with a Game Design attachment (according to advising, I'd be qualified for both video game designing and general computer science). I'm doing three years here, then hopefully another two at University of California Santa Cruz. Class starts early in the morning with PE, then German language (my minor). After that a really long break, before English/Writing and Elementary Algebra (yea, I was an idiot in High School). All in all I'm pretty excited about it.
I is.
Showed up for my first class, PE, and what we think is the room (it isn't obvious) is locked. Me and the other two who showed up look around for another door, with no luck. No idea what is up. Maybe it got cancelled?
I is.
Where? What for?
I am attending Sullivan College of Technology in Louisville, KY for Computer Network Security and Forensics. In my 3rd year.
I is.Where? What for?
UW Madison. Economics. Right now I have Intro East Asian Civilization, First Semester Japanese and Intermediate Microeconomics. The Econ 301 is a b$%!@. Like, the prereq is Calc 1 (Math 211 or 221, I took 221) and we start right off with problem sets requiring Calc 2 (multivariate functions et al). So I'm basically treading water and am crossing my fingers that I can pass with a C.
I'm back at the local community college, started back last semester, going to try to keep it going until I get paper this time. :)
Leaning towards social work right now.
I am, as well.
I'm attending something called a higher school. It is not college per se but after I finish it I will be an engineer (programming and game design).
Might that be what we call "Hochschule" in German? If so, it's basically an university.

Well, in serbia you have the University which is the highest form of education and lasts fro four years, and then right below is the higher shcool which lasts 3 years. It's not considered academic studies but let's say expert studies. It tried academics with chemistry and after mulling about for five years i quit and signed up for this. Best decision i ever made.

So it probably is the equivalent of the "Fachhochschule" (or "university of applied sciences" in English).
The education there has a more hands-on approach, I take it?
I'm attending Arizona State University in my first semester as a transfer student, studying for a B.S. in Applied Computer Science.
I almost wish I was going there.
Just so I'd know there was someone else older than me.
I'm working on MFAs in Poetry and Translation.
Obvious movie line reference of "Your mom goes to college".

I'm not worried about someone being older than me, I'm more bothered by so many of them being younger. :P

Go with Religious Science (or however Religionsvetenskap is translated into Academia English) at Lund's University. I think a good third of the year I was in were women in the upper middle age who had to take the courses as a basis before going on with the more christianity-specific studies needed to become a priest in the Church of Sweden.
Which, considering the other two thirds were made up of fairly science-minded atheists and agnostics made for an interesting mix.

That was my point. I'm 32 and surrounded by teenagers. If TOZ were here with me I wouldn't be the only old guy.

That is pretty much how I felt. I finished my doctorate at 33.
At least that's your doctorate, this is just an undergraduate degree.

I'll be 34 in less than a month. I know what you meant.
I meant that if I meet someone I enjoy spending time with, chances are they're to young to date. :P
There's no such thing as "too young to date", unless you're talking age of consent.
There's no such thing as "too young to date", unless you're talking age of consent.
I mean too young to relate to easily. Too young to have shared in the times and experiences that have shaped my life. Too young to be as likely to have much in common. Too young to get references or jokes.
I will say though, the younger folks are usually alot more accepting of differences, so maybe age gaps shouldn't be too big of a deal.
