What do you study? Where? What level? What's next?

What? Biology, chemistry, maths, further maths

Where? Sixth-form college in Cambridge

What level? I'm a second year A level student (equivalent to last year of American high school cross freshman year in an American university).

What's next? I'm considering teaching myself some extra maths modules over the next year to get an A level in extended maths. After that, I'm hoping to go to Trinity College in at Cambridge University to study maths.

Your turn...

What? I will study electrical engineering and take a required musical understanding class in the fall. Right now, I am reading up on some economics.

Where? I will study in the fall at the University of Oklahoma. My readings of course are self-sponsored and occur at home.

What level? I am starting out as a sophomore in the college of engineering after taking so many AP classes. In economics I am starting out close to the bottom as I have little formal exposure to economic ideas.

What's next? I will continue to study engineering until I get my bachelors degree and because of the duration of my scholarship I am considering getting a masters degree in an unknown subject as I want to get the most with the time and ability I have.

I was assuming we could talk about studies we have taken upon ourselves.

I have:


Associates degree in Information Technology
Bachelors degree with a double major in Math and Computer Science

I am currently in a master's program in Computer Science.


Over the summer, I'm taking classes relivant to my new research goal: learning how to communicate better with people.
The summer semester is broken up into two segments. In the first, I took a Storytelling drama class, along with a counseling class. In the second (which begins today), I'll be taking a public speaking class and probably one other which I haven't decided on yet.

Well, a degree in that should pay off and if you have a love of numbers all the better.

Next schoolyear I will study history. But I'm not quite sure if it's suitabele enough. Thanks to Asperger Syndrome, my analysing en logical skills are good. With history you may discover some underlying patrons. But maybe it's logical to choose a more logical study, such as economics or geography or even a language.

Hmmm...
Last semester I was studying Calculus, Latin, Earth Science and Chemistry :? Two subjects of which I hate! But somewhat thankfully I'm dropping the maths (after failing the unit due to lack of motivation) and am taking Chemistry (providing I pass a supplementary exam), Biology, Latin and Geology. :) At first year university level... exciting. Absolutely no idea what I want to end up with at the end of it, other then be offered honours in Latin most definately and a science subject as well.. Might look at getting into Paleantology. I still have at least 4 years to decide before my degree will be complete. Ah, if I decide to continue doing the Science/Arts combined course I'm doing right now, that is. 8O

Did you hear the latest news about Australian Paleantologists? They discovered kangaroos in the past were real predators.

"You could have been looking for Skippy but you would not have seen Skippy, you might have found his ancestor, who ended up eating you while you looked for the normal kangaroo." :lol:

I have to remark on how excellent your grammar is compared to the average sixth grader, I was writing in a slew of acronyms when I was in sixth grade. :lol:

I'm in ninth grade, and I study a lot of Science by myself. I've recently been teaching myself some Algebra out of an old, dusty college textbook I found. I'm not that far, though.

Wow.

I guess I'm an abnormal aspie. Math and Science are terrible for me.

I study film/animation direction as well as other arts as they relate to those jobs.

I study Biology and Chemistry. I focus on the cellular/molecular side of biology and chemistry as it applies to the life sciences. I am in my third year of university. After I earn my bachelor's degree, I hope to attend graduate school.
