That and an analogue of supply-demand for knowledge (but most likely, a social deficit).

Ah.

Do you go to a public or a private school?

I use a public school curriculum. It's not as bad as it could be, but there's no variety in subjects.

I know what you mean. My family just does it because it's free. I'll be doing regular home schooling again next year with better curriculum.

My mom actually wanted me to just quit and start using private curriculum now, but I backed out. The sudden change made me feel really weird, and I wouldn't learn anything new anyway unless I wanted to work into the summer.

Ah.

On the bright side, college seems to offer more educational, "space."

Grr. That song is stuck in my head. I'm making it my personal challenge to embarrass myself and sing it to my friendcrush before the end of the school year. :lol:

Yeah. The freedom to more easily choose what you learn sounds nice.

And apparently, the UC system allows free book deliveries between campi within one day, so that is another thing to anticipate.

That sounds awesome. :)

What do you think you'll take? And what schools are you interested in?

Biochemistry!

Stanford and a few other high-ranking private schools seem nice, but I doubt I will be accepted at those schools because of my disinterest in my school. Most likely, it will be one of the U's of C.

Mechanical engineering, aeronautical engineering, and history are what I'm interested in, but things could change. Where i'm going I don't know. Probably Texas A&M or one of it's related schools. I'd like to go to the Naval Academy, but I highly doubt i'd make it.

I want to be a pilot in the Navy, but from what I know so far my ability's as a pilot might not be as good as they should be. So if I don't make the cut there either, I'm also considering going to the Naval War College (after being commissioned, of course) then working as an analyst or adviser of some sort. Gathering information is what I'm really good at, so I might as well put it to use.
