My curiosity is going to kill me one of these days. Meow.

University student in my last year. Computer Aided Design, to be specific. Horribly boring, I'm afraid.

Why? What do you learn/do in that field?

Not all of us are in college. I'm only in Grade 11. My current semester consists of Math, Chemistry, Travel, and Computer Engineering.
I should have taken Ancient History, but no... when I had a course conflict I picked 'Geography', not knowing it stood for 'Regional Geography' or 'Travel and Tourism'... The class consists of many boring assignments such as looking for trips I can never afford to go on via the Internet and explaining why we want to go on them.
I also must note I hate Computer Engineering, course conflicts forced me to take it instead of Computer Science, so I have to take the two remaining Computer Sciences next year. I'd probably like it, if I didn't have to use the crappy programming environment of 'Turing' again... That, and we had a substitute for 8 weeks who knew nothing about circuits and walked away when people asked for help. Yeah, fun stuff.

That's good to know. Although I'm graduating from high school in a mere 2 weeks, it's still nice to know that there are less-ancient people around too. :)
Tourism? *points finger and laughs* Jk, just messing with ya. Seriously, I feel ya man.
Computer Engineering... *shudder*.
So, overkill, do you know where you're going to Major in college yet? I'm starting my ComSci degree in 3 months.

A teach showed it to me. It really helps for those who are lost and solidify the goals for one who already have them in mind. ^_^'

I so stunk at that thing. I couldn't think of the two most important people. Well, after thought immediately came Dad and best friend, but, whoops! Too late. And identifying mission statements? I got one or two...nothing I didn't already know...I guess I'm not good at that kind of quiz.
Then again after my initial failure I decided not to complete it all the way through. Anyway...

I'm a graduate student in Computer Science. Finished my Bachelor's over a year ago, and figured I'd take it to the next level.

My course is horribly boring because they're not teaching a great deal of what I'm here to learn. There is not enough computer in my aided design. Also, what I DO learn that's relevant is taught in the most stale unexciting way that I'm surprised I haven't gone to sleep in a lecture yet. Sigh..

I may as well post: I'm an undergrad Computer Science major. I have less than a year's worth of credits left to get before I graduate. This summer I'm taking an introductory Latin course and a course on the history of, and techniques for playing, guitars, to use up the last of my free electives. I'm currently attempting to arrange a job to start after my summer classes and then carry on while I finish my last few courses and afterwards. I plan to get out of school when I'm done because any further education would be fairly unfeasible due to grade-, finance-, and sanity-related reasons. At least for now.
That said, I've been programming since I was twelvish, and I really don't think school has done a whole lot for me as a programmer other than given me an undodgable reason to practice. My writing and art 'abilities' are all completely self-cultivated (aside direction from friends and family and a couple of English classes at the high school level).
Yay for self-directed learning!
P.S. I am feeling rambley and tired. Please don't extapolate any larger opinions about me from this particular post.

I've been making games since I was seven. ^^' I guess it's a lifelong passion and a childhood dream.

Not a college student. I was one about 5 years ago. I may go back some day, but right now I have too many bills to pay (which means I have to work, which means I have less time for Verge).
