This is going to be a very frustrating first few years of college.

Story. Of. My. Life. Hopefully you'll be onto some more challenging classes soon. It sucks to be in classes you know you shouldn't have to take. I tested out of a class before and then, after a transfer, had the new school tell me that even though the class would transfer, the "testing out" part would have to be done again. What kind of sense does that make? Ugh. tongue

Hopefully I'll be able to skip a few of those kinds of classes when I get to college.

What are you thinking of studying once you get to college, Gunny? I've skipped around a bit in that department, too. tongue

I'm not sure. Still have a year to go until I have to make a decision.

When I was a junior in high school, I thought for sure I wanted to be a mathematician or a chemist. By my senior year, I was about to hurt myself doing pretty intensive calculus and physics, and I thought I might want to move forward with something like journalism. Things definitely can switch over a year! laugh

And now I'm a computer scientist. Closer to math than I probably would have thought... I somehow survived all those classes after all! tongue

Math just isn't my calling card, and I doubt that it ever will be.

You like sciences or humanities more, Gunny? Sciences will likely get you deeper into math than you'll like. tongue

Not science, that's for sure.

I thought journalism might be my cup of tea a few years ago. I decided I didn't want to write about what other people wanted me to write about, though. tongue

I do have a couple of friends, one of whom majored in English and is now a teacher, and another who was a psychology major and now works in a fish market. Choose your humanities carefully. tongue

Hey, hey everyone!! peace I figured I'd come back for a while. This forum is easy to keep up with since not many people post. tongue

College talk going on in here? Trika, you seem to have been in the same boat I was/am in. I initially came in thinking about being a Math teacher. Then, I took Calculus 2 and 3 and decided that it was not for me (waaaay too hard tongue ). Then I was thinking about journalism. Looked into that, decided not to. Now, I am officially in Computer Science! grin

Whoa! nemisis! Where the heck have you been, man?! How 'bouts ya figure you come back for a long while, eh? tongue

Wanting to be a math teacher? Ugh. Sounds painful. I took math until my eyeballs hurt for computer science, but at least I decided against being a pure mathematician. tongue

I would like to! I am going to try! wink

And, I decided not to be a math teacher, rather a computer science major! grin I am thinking about going into Law Enforcement and using the CS major in that field.

Computer science is such a good field. Very diverse in regards to different paths to take. Are you thinking about doing something similar to cyber crime analysis or protection? That would be nifty! happy

Yeah, I think that would be awesome. Ideally, I want to end up with the FBI. We'll see how that goes. tongue
