Falcon2001 Posted November 13, 2003 Report Posted November 13, 2003 I got my acceptance letter on monday from DeVry University informing me that I had been accepted. I'm so freaking happy. So I was wondering what other people are doing/planning on doing. I'm getting my Bachelors in the NSA program (Network System Administrator) What's everyone else doing or going to do?
Salinye Posted November 13, 2003 Report Posted November 13, 2003 I'm raising four children and running a side business from my home!!! :0) CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU!!! *smiles pleased*
Ayshela Posted November 13, 2003 Report Posted November 13, 2003 (edited) *laughs* raising three teenagers of my own and being designated mom for half a dozen others, as well as chauffer, schedule manager, and personal assistant/caregiver as needed for Paul's mom. Though before life hit its own patches of hell i WAS planning a teaching degree, double majored in math and english, which alone was enough to drive both departments into shiddering fits. *giggles madly* Congratulations! That's wonderful news!! *hugs* Edited November 13, 2003 by Ayshela
Gyrfalcon Posted November 13, 2003 Report Posted November 13, 2003 Technical Support and Network Support, then transfer to a four-year school and get a Bachelors in one of the computer-related fields.
Peredhil Posted November 13, 2003 Report Posted November 13, 2003 raising three sons, completing my "four year degree" (only six credits to go, 25 years in the making. Transferring is painful - I have around 190 credits total over somewhere around seven universities), retiring from the Army (19 years down), trying to be a friend and make a positive difference in people's lives.
lumpenproletariat Posted November 14, 2003 Report Posted November 14, 2003 in 11 days, I'm going to be sitting on my ass for 3 solid months well, maybe a bit of work here and there
Ayshela Posted November 14, 2003 Report Posted November 14, 2003 ponders sitting for three solid months... James, what the heck will you be doing? and i hope they've wired your latrine appropriately, since gods know you'll need to be sitting THERE if you're gonna be anywhere that long...
Zariah Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 (edited) I am currently finishing my first semester at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. Then I am headed toward a second semester that I will actually take seriously. Because of my difficulty with adjustments to change, I am sure that only 6 of my 13 credits will actually pass for accumulated credits toward my degree. So I have 15 next semester to actually earn. I also spend weekends at home with my biological family and visits to my second family (mostly to see my boyfriend) and the occasional relaxation of a good nights sleep. Upcoming: Thanksgiving at my Bayside beach house in the Countryside in Northumberland, Va; Christmas at home in pain from the removal of 4 Wisdom teeth; New Semester filled with extensive studying and on campus job! So that's me: Also reading the "His Dark Materials" (Philip Pullman) Series because I can't find the other books I need to finish the Dragonriders of Pern series. That's me! :woot: Edited November 18, 2003 by Zariah
The Big Pointy One Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 Well, I'm *still* undecided, and it's been 2 years since I started University (I dropped out after the first semester...) I think I'm going to take some more... practical courses this January though. Perhaps a bartending course, some cooking classes (I'd have to go over to the next 'big' town to do that... bleh. :\ ) or maybe some sort of business deal. I don't know. All I know is that I like to cook, but I don't want to make a living off of it. I want to write professionally, but that'll only happen in time, as I improve my skills as a writer. I personally believe there isn't a class out there that can save me there. I would like to own/start up some sort of public business for my city, but it'd take more money than I'll normally achieve in these next few years. Of course, there are ways around that, but I don't think I can do those, yet. Still, the day may come when my ultra-entertainment complex (of doom) will be like some sort of... good thing. Anyways, if I were to go back to University, I'd for sure take Japanese again, not to mention the other classes I failed -.-; As for University offering *ME* classes that will be truly beneficial (read: make me money while I do something I enjoy) to me, I'm not so sure. Regardless of what I do, I know this: I currently work in an offsale, where I get paid to play gameboy most of the time (not as far as the owners of the company know, though) and make decent tips, and I'll continue writing here, well, pretty much as long as there is a here to write. Especially if I ever get published. Woo! That'd be cool. In the end, I don't care what I'm doing, really. I could go from crap job to crap job, for all I cared, so long as I had a little more than enough to get by, and somewhere to write. Video games don't hurt either. :tree:
Lady Celes Crusader Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 Congrats Falcon As for me, yes I've return in a technical school for the next two years in hope to find a good job.
Degenero Angelus Posted November 19, 2003 Report Posted November 19, 2003 Yay for college! I'm getting a nice fat degree in Psychology, with a littler, less fat, degree in Theology. Yay for *useless* minors, eh?
