Hello all, my name is Michael, and I doubt that most of you have even the faintest idea who I am, but there are a couple that might be able to dig into their memories to recall me. I joined back in 2004 but I could not remember my login information, or it just got lost in purges that have occurred during my absence, as it has been several years since I even contemplated getting back in touch with this forum. Anyway, my username was Stryyp.

I remember when I joined Codex I was either 13 or just turned 14, and stayed pretty active for a couple few years, I think, then life decided to go throw some curveballs and all that jazz =P Shit happens, ya' deal with it. It is kind of funny being back here, considering this is where I was when I was just starting high school, and now I'm back again while I'm over halfway through my bachelors degree. It makes me feel old =P

There's not really alot left to say about myself, but if anyone remembers me, by all means, ask any questions you want, I've got years of material to talk about =P

Business administration =D Right now I'm in all sorts of fun stuff like Human Resources Management and Marketing. /sarcasm

I went by the robotics lab yesterday and they were building an autonomous submarine and a rover of sorts... I was like "Dayum, all I'm learning is how to market Mountain Dew".

ewww business, good money but super boring. If I had to do something in business I'd choose actuarial science. But you know if you can see your self doing that in the future then go for it =]

Yeah, it's some pretty dry stuff =P I'm hoping to kind of specialize in international business or something along those lines... pretty much anything that'll let me travel =P Maybe investments or something. I may change to a finance major or something. I could not afford to be picky this semester, though, because I applied for admission to the school on Monday, and classes started on Wednesday. I smoothtalked all the office people into speeding my application process along and I managed to get registered Wednesday night, missing the first day of classes. If I'm not in school I get dropped from my health insurance, so this semester was more about just being IN school than necessarily being there for academic progress or enrichment =P

Wow, what a dead line =P a job that lets you travel would be really cool, I'd like that a lot but it doesn't look like that'll happen unless I do something like Civil engineering. Missing first day isn't a big deal, or even the first week. I'm kinda pissed at myself because I missed the deadline for the first online math assignment but wvr, it's only like 0.01%. Anyways, what's your work load like?

Yeah, I had thought "I'm done with my associates degree and I'm leaving the country in the summer, so I'm gonna take a semester off!", and then on Sunday I found out the health insurance dilemma. I went from not even having applied to a university and being in classes pretty much over the span of two days... That's me, I get shit done, apparently =P

At this point I'm not sure what I want to do, just that I want to be able to see the world. What kind of field of study are you in, and what do 'choo wanna do when you "get older"? (I feel stupid using that expression =P) And you're right, this is drop/add week, so most professors do not even get into the real meat of any material until the second week at earliest. Don't ya' hate it when you miss the first thing? >_< I know what you mean, to me it kind of makes me feel like I am giving a bad impression to the teacher, but I don't think they actually cared =P

I was only able to make it to one day of classes this week (There have been two) so I've only gone to two of my classes. I've got human resources management, fundamentals of marketing, managerial accounting and writing for business. As far as any work load is concerned, there are no current assignments that I know of, but I've heard my accounting teacher is a beast =P I know in marketing we only have a take-home midterm and a take-home final, with open notes and open book, and most of human resources is just groupwork... in that class we make group contracts and fire anyone from our group if they don't hold up their end of the bargain =P

lol HRM and marketing is pretty interesting but sucks to find really good jobs in a hugely saturated market.
I'm .5 yrs from graduating from international business and marketing management.
Should've graduated already but on exchange :devil:

Nice! That's really cool =D That sounds like precisely the kind of program I want to get into. I just picked this because I was not really in a position to be too picky or choosy =P I don't think this university really offers a specialization of international business, it is partially integrated with the B.S.B.A. for general business, I think. Luckily I am only gonna be here for one semester, then I'm gonna move onto a school which better suits my needs.

Where are you from and where did you go on exchange?

I'm gonna major in electronics engineering. My work load just got really big, I have 6 courses this semester. Last semester I had 4 but it really just felt like 1 because I did calc in highschool, I'm already a proficient programmer(cmpt), and engineering sciences was easy cause I'm pretty good at writing. The course I had to put effort into was physics because it was an honors class.

Now I have to do 4 written assignments per week.

Dayum, you are taking six classes at once? I guess it kind of helps that you are already familiar with alot of your subjects, but still... =P And how big are the written assignments? =/ When I did college classes over the summer the workloads were like that, we were having quizzes and exams every flippin' week :p

Honestly I don't know what the assignments are like because I haven't done one yet :p but they'll probably take a good 2 hours each...
