Vagabond: it's a combination of both. Thing is, If I didn't go that way, I'd go to do a deskjob in the army, which is basically ****ing off all day ( It's VERY overstaffed ). If I'd go to be enlisted in the army, I'd rather be a grunt, but since I am an only child, my parents get to have a say in that. My father told me he wouldn't mind, but then he'd have to divorce mum.   .
Btw, just finished my final in Calc 2. I'll pass, but with no flying colours. But that doesn't matter. Calc 2 is hardly the course to try to raise your average in.
Did I mention that I hate those annoying 14 year old kids that run around the university, taking Calc 2, and stuff like that?

On the agenda: Rebuild/Resurrect
I am an undergrad at the University of Chicago, the same school that GePap, Sagan, Ashcroft, Vonnegut, and the Chicago boys that Pinochet loved.
Or I was, anyway.
From the middle of winter quarter until three weeks before the end of spring quarter, everything that I had built up over the years for my future life collapsed under the ravages of depression; exacerbated by my inability to speak with others about personal matters, it ended as a near total disaster.
Now I have to rebuild. I did manage to obtain semi-favorable terms: spring quarter was removed from the records; the debt that I'd run up (the depression had left me unable to attend work or class, hell, even leave the dorm room) would be covered by mom (I naturally have to pay her back, but there's a lot less interest involved); and therapy.
When I return, I plan on majoring on Linguistics.
I don't know where I'll go after that. Maybe work for the UN or the State Department, see the world; I want to strike off on my own and live for a few years in Seoul, Tokyo, and Berlin, before returning to the States.
I haven't the foggiest idea about a career, though. I don't know why I typed all of this out, either.

I am a Chemistry student in Israel's best technological university, finishing my 1st year.
When I graduate, I'll go straight to Officers' course, and become a 2nd Leutenant. my next 6 years will be in the army, 3 of which I'll spend on a Conscript's paycheck, despite being an officer. This is in return for the Army paying my education fees, but It will be possible to get an M.Sc. in Chemistry.
When I am out of the army, in the tender age of 27  , I'll probably try to get a job in the industry, or even better, in the Academia. I hope that there will be budget cuts in Defence, so they'll let me out earlier.
That's about it.  |
hi ,
the only way to get cuts is when there is going to be peace , ......
and that just aint going to happen in the near future , ...... 
have a nice day

Have just finished the second term in my MSc in Computer Science conversion course at Cambridge's "other" university APU. One more semester to go. With my background (BSc Molecular Biology, 2 yrs of a PhD in Immunology/Virology) and the current thing I can see myself ending up somewhere around here in cambridge doing the whole bioinformatics thing. What can I say I like Cambridge, it is a stimulating city, not too big and got a good river to row on.
Personally, no girlfriend but haven't looked for a serious relationship for months. The occasional girl shows up on the scene, leaves again the week after, the usual uni thing. Somehow, now that I am slightly older (24) these things seem to come an awful lot easier to me now than when I was horny 18 yr old, so I am taking full advantage of all the girls that are now leaving the blokes of their age standing for the guy who is 5 years older then them. Payback...
Rowing a lot, and hopefully, with a lot of work over the summer and the start of next academic year, can get my times to get into consideration for the Dutch national squad. Would just love to row in Athens in 2004, but it is unlikely

My biology teacher was the same. I was going to go into the sciences but then I lost my direction and was aimless again until I met Mr Ford, a science teacher and my biology teacher at A-Level and hence I am in the biological sciences now, and although the field I am in is fascinating, don't have any illusions about research...it ain't glamorous, it ain't well paid and there is a lot of crap you have to contend with. The only way to find out really is to go there...
, write a letter to the MOD , if you have a good new and other cause to spend the money on , ......
