Yeah, so I started school up again... out of the blue. I'm taking English, Math, OLS, and CPT classes right now. I've started on the first three and I'll have my first CPT class on Saturday.

English class seems cool because it's being taught by the same professor that taught my last English class and this time the 'theme' is the Education system with a focus on Research and Arguements. Already it seems very nice.

Math is retardard, but seems right for me. Both times I took the math class that I tested into I didn't do so well because I've been out of it for so long. I haven't finished a math class in like 6 or 7 years and I've dropped out of two (200-level Calc at BSU and the Trig level math at IUPUC). So, now I'm taking Intermediate Algebra so I'm guaranteed a win here and I'll actually stick with the next level instead of dropping. Also, this professor actually collects/grades homework everyday so I'll have a reason to do it. Also he doesn't quiz. 85% of my final grade is made up of tests and the other 15% is homework. Sweet.

OLS is nice. It's an Organizational Behavior class which is just what it sounds like, an Anthropology/Sociology/Political Science class that focuses on the Individual/Groups/Structures of the business world in an attempt to make things more efficient. So, this is stuff that's been shoved down my throat for the longest time and also some stuff that's just 'common sense.'

CPT will probably be nice since it's a computer technology class with a focus on web development. The CPT major (mine) will eventually be spec'd for DBM (if you caught that spec'd reference and know what it's from it's okay to club yourself now... Stove). Since I'm going into Database Management, I'm hoping the web dev class will focus on that, but looking at the required text all I know for now is that it will teach my some DHTML, which would assume HTML learnings, and another one... I think it was XHTML. So if anything that'll be more languages that I'll be familiar with.

Speaking of computer languages, I'm reading a MUD dev book and subsequently a C++ book. The MUD book has already taught me a crapload about networking and different protocols and whatnot and hopefully soon I'll be able to do something with all this reading that'll be going on.

I guess that's it... Now I just have to wait for the ritual month or two period of me not posting before I update again.
