sorry I'm just excited to finally be leaving Branford. I haven't even graduated yet. ;-;
And actually I'm going to be so anti-social it barely matters where I go. :3
And I'm gonna have 30K in loans to pay back per year. n_u
but whatever be excited for me :3
That's tiny for a college campus. I'm assuming it's a private college though. CONGRATS
good luck getting out of debt though hocuspocus;
You're going to be living in Worcester? That's less than an hour away from me. Maybe you'll be close enough for some of my genius to rub off onto you. Pretty exciting, isn't it?

Hey, Jonesboro was somehow voted "Tree City USA" for this year. I don't fucking know how, though. This place is a shithole. I'll be looking to transfer out after two years.

that's more like it n_u
at wpi instad of having 14-week terms, we have 7-week accelerated terms.
And although the classes are short and there aren't many, supposedly there are two hours of homework for every hour of class.
So it's not quite as glorious as it seems, but still.
Almost everything at WPI is project-based, which I haven't decided if I like or not yet. We'll see how that pans out.
I envy you. >:\

I have a friend who's trying to decide between UCONN and Wisconson right now and I was like "OMG MY FRIEND WAS GOING BETWEEN THE SAME SCHOOLS." so thens he wanted to know who you were but I was just like "uhhhhhhhhhhhh, you wou;dn't know hom. >.>"
she's probably going to uconn anyway because, you know, we live in CT ans state funding and whatnot.

welllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
technically I'm undecided
But the robotic engineering professor was trying desperately to recruit me today as they only have like 9 lids right now and none are girls. So I might consider that.
If I don't decide on anything by the beginning of next year I'll probably just start off as a CS major because it actually requires the least amount of science classes and I hate science. <.<
for the record my classes are 1.5 or 3 hours long twice a week and i'm taking 5. so ha!

I'd definitely look into the robotic engineering. I'd go in demanding to build a Metal Gear. snakedood;
But if you took the CS route, what do you think that you'd wind up using that degree for? Or would that just be a stepping stone to something else?

It's in Worcester, it's a college city. Even if there WAS nothing to do, there are like 10 other colleges and universities closeby. Actually i think there are 9 in the city but whatever.
It's really not that small. There are like 600-700 kids per class. It's plenty for me.

Personally I'm looking into the black union society. :3
Oh, we talked about the penalties for underage drinking, too. There pretty much are none.
and I can go to events like these n_u http://www.socialweb.net/Clients/WPI/index.lasso?id=91952
***and as far as price, wpi is 51 a year, they gave me 33 a year 9 of which is subsudized loans and work study. So they're really only
giving me 24 a year. Meaning I'm going to have to pay almost 30 on my own. Most of which is going to be loans because nobody in my family has money.
