Walsingham Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Krookie, if you are considering Electronics Engineering you might want to reconsider.

theslug Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Today I start a new work out routine. I'm going to really try and get crazy woodsman ripped for summer. I've been watching quite a bit of tv lately. I'm on the last episode of this really awesome show called Misfits. It's English so maybe you've heard of it Wals? You should give it a try, very funny stuff. Other than that, nothing to report about girl. Haven't seen her in a number of days because she's been really sick. There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) I probably could have pulled out some scholarships for some Division 3 schools. At first, when I was applying, college hockey was a must have..But realistically I wasn't going anywhere with the sport past college so I'd rather go to a school that's gonna get me somewhere in life even if that means giving the sport up. The problem with college hockey is the division 1 levels are dominated by people who come from outside the US. Canada and Russian kids come here to play and get an education from a school like Notre Dame or BC. Well, hockey is one of the few sports that has a ton of amateur adult leagues to play in. When you start missing the sport, I hope you'll look into joining a beer league. There are also a lot of tourneys out there for amateurs. You can basically play hockey up until the day you die, if you want to, and that is one of the reasons I love it. I actually look forward to joining the over-35 league in a few years, and we even have an active over-50 league at our rink. So I get not wanting to have it take over your life in college, but I hope you haven't lost all your passion for it. I took a few breaks from hockey when I was in college myself, it's an expensive hobby. Usually I'd get about 6 months in and then I'd be dying to get back on the ice. edit: Today I was grading card game projects for my students, and while they played the game, I looked up the websites they created for the games on my Droid phone. That way I was able to grade both the physical game and the web pages at the same time without lugging my laptop around. It was awesome.

Trenitay Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I played nine holes of golf today. The miserable weather coupled with a score that would have been bad had there been twice as many holes, made for a not-so-great experience. Hey now, my mother is huge and don't you forget it. The drunk can't even get off the couch to make herself a vodka drenched sandwich. Octopus suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm far from done with hockey, it's just gonna be nice to have a break from it. I've played for 10 years - straight. My body hasn't really ever known a "rest and recover" stage because I've always been playing. I'm still addicted to the NHL and I'm sure I'll get back on the ice from time to time while I'm in college. It was to big a part of my life to give up completely.

I want teh kotor 3 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 So double major if you can't decide.

Krookie Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I don't care about the money so much as about getting the best education possible. The difference between the level of education at, for example, Princeton and a smaller school like Rowan isn't much. The education is what you make of it, if you put in the effort to excel in your field, then you will. Plenty of graduates from community colleges are making more than the Big Name School graduate. But if paying 200k for 4 years for the name of a school is up your alley, I'd say go for it. But at least do yourself a favor and pick a nicer school than Princeton. Great education or not, you won't be having much fun there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great education or not, you won't be having much fun there. While the level of education is obviously related to what you put in, a great university helps too. Besides, a diploma that says "Princeton" opens doors... And I think I'll have plenty of fun at Princeton, seeing as though it has one of the best physics programs in the country, and a pretty damn good mathletics team.
