It's my only fear.
Have you ever thought: "wow, college is as boring as high school, just on a larger scale"? Because I sure think so. |

Okay, this year I'll be enrolling in my sophomore year in a community college and have a guaranteed admission contract with UCSD come next fall, more or less. However, I frankly don't like UCSD and it's not for reasons related to prestige. They follow a rather dull, super-applied curriculum that I can't really face with much eagerness--incidentally, I'm trying to major in economics-mathematics, although I'd be just as happy doing something like public policy or the like. Any suggestions?

Originally posted by Elara Well, I'm really not interested in much in econometrics as much as economic theory and pure mathematics--although they diverge, frankly. Frankly, I'd agree with you about the econ-math thing being dull, the typical econometrics seems dull to me too. I thought math would be pure at the college level, but it's just as bad as high school. If I might provide an analog, pure math would be to baking a cake as the usual math course is to warming up a frozen, preprocessed one. And as everyone knows, "it's a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake." |

That's the thing, I'm not interested in engineering. I definitely don't think math is an intermediary, it's the end and means and everything in between. | |||

I like crows. They're smart fellows, and not assholes like those seagulls. | |||

Lawyers have a good vocabulary, so they're not going to have a problem. "Rape" is a very strong word, and I think a cogent statement is far more compelling than an emotional one. | |||

Sorry, no camera, so I'll just link someone else's picture of it:
It's a Rotring Core, and it only cost me ten dollars! I'm using ruby ink, and it looks awesome. |

Well, first of all, thanks for all the support. Some colleges I was interested in right now are:
St. Johns, which has a very down-to-earth, classical approach and grants a general Bachlor's Degree (They go through Newton's Principia and Euclid's Elements). It has a pretty nice application too, a 5~10 page essay on three topics, and no SAT/ACT required, and although mine is more than decent, I like that they're not so obsessed with College board and all that nonsense. It happens to reside in both Santa Fe, NM as well as Annapolis, MA. One of the caveats is that they don't allow transfer credit, and I'd have to go the full four years there. Just a note. I'm also interested in University of Chicago, which has a very engaging curriculum as well as a interesting essay in their application. However, the competition is to say the least, cut-throat, especially in economics. Specifically, they have a very theoretical approach to economics and mathematics, and uses a lot of books and papers that are assuredly top notch. They also happen to offer a combined math-econ major as well as a combined BA/MA program. Nifty. |

For most courses with an A or B that don't have a placement test, then you can earn credit through satisfactory results through them. This is okay, since I only have As and Bs in college. | |||

Originally posted by Elara None really, and it comes with a converter. Although I'd say the holes are for balance, not an ink viewer. Ink is pretty cheap though, so I recoup losses pretty fast. I'm old fashioned and still write notes in pen, so I'd go through disposable pens rather quick. Another thing is that while fountain pens might seem more expensive, the ones people use for day-to-day writing are usually in a very affordable range () and nibs are really cheap and work better over time, and while those thin line pens (<0.5mm) always cost a lot, a fine or extra fine nib does the job nicely. And fountain pens need a lot less force to apply ink to paper, although this one works for legal papers even. It has really nice balance though, and it's lighter than it looks. I miss my old one though, it was a black Sheaffer, although it took a while to get used to and was a bit heavier. Also, I like using the Pentel sharp for pencil-work, and you've probably seen one of these: |

Guess what guys, essay questions are up for UoC. Now maybe you'll see why I like their prompts. :O

It feels so awful, the thought, but I agree. All I want to say is don't act rashly. Just try not to kill your neighbor.
It hurts so much to see something so full of life slip out of your grip, it's like seeing a piece of fruit ripe and ready for savoring being squashed upon, a delecable shelf of hot rolls uncerimoniously tossed in the trash and into the dumpster in front of a starving homeless person. |
