Started my college for electronics and communication engineering.
Though my first year, we'll be learning general engineering subjects, covering all the branches, the different branches ,mechanical, aero, E.C.E etc will specialize after that.

That's what I'm waiting for. No more chemistry for me. Let the chemical engineering guys take that.

We don't have AS and A2 exams, so the terminology is different. In America you tend to have either a final exam or, at higher levels, mid-term and final exams (or projects/research papers, depending on the subject). We don't have exams that tell you what to study in college or university or anything that bars you aside from the standardized tests meant to sort of "add" to your academic record by quizzing you on pointless things; some examples are the SATs for university level and the GREs (Graduate Record Exam) for graduate level. We also have state-wide standardized testing at certain grade levels, but come high school you focus on your class exams and then the SAT.

Thank you for the reply, Avron :)

Both. It's a small school, and it's very focused on academics, but also arts and tech, hence the name CAT, or City Arts and Tech.

And also the girls, some of them were stunning, and like the rest of the city, very diverse, not just racially.

My first day, walking home, I just narrowly avoided being egged. (Which is lucky for them, because they would have received a smashed windshield for their trouble)

Hard to believe that's like 4 years ago, now.

I begin student teaching next week. I am attending orientation tomorrow. Always good to have something to fall back on, and that's teaching for me. Should have my certificate by the Spring :D

Can't relate frosty, since high school is nothing like that here, but good luck to the future all the same.

School...

I'm considering going back to Uni, and either furthering my Media Degree (either with more Radio, or some TV) or studying Sport & Biology, which would basically mean I could be a physiotherapist, or a physiotherapist.

More than likely IF I go back to study, it will be Media Studies. I'd rather further the qualifications I already have, than take off on a completely different tangent.

In just over a week, I start back at college....again. I'm honestly fairly tired of school, but the end goal is what keeps me going at this point.
