Here's my schedule for next semester if it's any help to you:

ME 2124 - Intro to Thermal Fluid Sciences
ECE 3054 - Electrical Theory
ENGE 2314 - Engineering Problem Solving with C++
ESM 2204 - Mechanics of Deformable Bodies
ESM 2304 - Dynamics
MATH 2214 - Differential Equations
CS 2204 - UNIX

You would probably enjoy a class on *nix operating systems, actually

I don't know how you handle that much work. I only take three classes per semester and the workload usually fucks me over towards the end (case in point: I should be working on my asm project or my db nonsense right now rather than reading this post).

Some schools have information-wise smaller classes that go less in-depth per class or have less work. My school used to have 5 three-credit classes as the standard schedule, but now it's 4 four-credit classes, but some engineering curricula still hold over to 3-by-5. If you go one class over, to 5 four-credit classes, then that's about equivalent to 7 three-credit classes. Supposedly.

Sleep goes inversely with workload.

Classes/units/workload vary widely by institution. The only way you can really compare one schedule to another is by looking at bags under the eyes.

If it's any help, here's my schedule this term, as a mechanical engineer:

And next term:

Also, what's up with MGB forums being filled with college guys?

Because most of us started playing Subspace back in high school days or earlier. Guess what, people get older.

In a few days, it will be our (Shanky and I) tenth anniversary of the day we first downloaded Subspace and entered a zone. That is a lot of time to stay around one game...

I'm going to be in college soon too! These classes you guys are pointing out seem very interesting. I looked some of them up. You guys must like college!

I think I've already passed that anniversary. Got the Internet for xmas 95 and discovered ss sometime in 96.

College is awesome. Not sure whether I like it more for the relaxed environment, endless opportunities to meet people and have fun, or getting to learn things about the topics you choose.

In fact, I hope to make a career out of it and become a prof someday...

(PS As an added bonus most colleges have a pretty cool Girl-Guy ratio)

Quan Chi2 · Posted: Sat Dec 02, 2006 6:10 pm *Post maybe stupid* Post subject:

A professor as in a college professor teaching classes? Don't they read all of the time?

Anyway, school for me now is shit, and I can not wait to get out of it. I want to be able to learn what I want to learn rather than take bullshit subjects like US History and Spanish 3.

Spanish and US History were actually my best and favorite classes. I scored a 98 on both the NYS Regents exams of those subjects.

Also, Quan, I'm curious as to what college or university you're planning to apply to.

BTW, GG in Turkey Bowl! We wooped your asses for the 26th year in a row!

Where did you say you were enrolled, Blocks? Looks like we're doing mostly the same things.

DATABASE SYSTEMS
COGNITIVE MODELING
PHILOSOPHY OF COMPUTER SCIENCE

Although I might end up dropping one and get research credit.

I don't know how much I'd enjoy a Unix class... but I'd take it in a heartbeat, I really need to learn it.

Honestly, if I had the drive, I'd bet I could learn more on my own. College seems like a waste sometimes. It would be great if I only had to take the classes I wanted, and even though I do understand why you should take things you don't want to, I still don't like it. I probably would've been better off going to a tech school, especially since I'd probably still like to be an electrician.

On a side note, I got fabric softener(the liquid kind) on my nose. Now every once in a while I smell it and think it's something on me, and it takes a while before I realize its just my nose. >_> It's kind of weird, because I'll think it's my armpit, so I'll sniff it, then I feel really dumb because I've got my fabric softener covered nose stuck in my armpit.

-.-

Oh, I've got my own computer here that I use for Linux, I've already gone through Fedora Core 5 and Debian. I love GUI though, and it kinda seems to me that the only differences between distros is the GUI, and the package manager... the rest is just differences in where they put stuff.

Brain's tried to convince me multiple times to do an LFS distro( http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ ), but I've never figured out how to partition my Linux hard drive, so I never really got around to it. I'm about to reformat my Debian install and try out Gentoo, though. My biggest problem with Debian and Fedora Core was the lack of documentation(or maybe I just didn't know where to look), and I've heard Gentoo has lots of good documentation.

Not even the GUI is different. It's either GNOME or KDE, and any differences in "themes" can easily be recreated.

You know, I used the same GUI in both Debian and Fedora(I think Gnome), but Fedora's looked way better. Even after looking through several themes, all of Debian's looked more like Windows 3.1 stuff, while Fedora's looked like XP. You guys probably hate me for those analogies, but whatever. Should I try KDE next time, when I install Gentoo? Or maybe some other kind... I've heard of others but I've forgotten their names.

Speaking of which, for Gentoo, I suppose I should download the LiveDVD? Or is it better to do the minimal install CD and add what I need with the package manager?

Eh. I don't know how to leave a partition empty.

I was going to re-partition Fedora once, to open up a new one, but apparently it's much harder to do it afterwards than it is beforehand.

Looks like I'm not doing LiveCD. It fails to start X Server.
