Hey y\'all, just thought I\'d give you an update as to my life (because I know you\'re all sssooo interested...c\'mon, at least humor me a little...) Anyways, school started last week, so on top of my 40+ hours of work, comes 12+ hours a week of school...fun...

So anyways, I haven\'t turned on my 360 very much at all. Actually, the only thing I\'ve really done with it for the past two weeks is download Undertow; gotta get my compensation! I\'ve found myself resorting to the PSP for the very reason that it is portable and perfect to play in between classes. Where\'s the 360 Portable Microsoft, WHERE?!

Before I get off track, I\'ve tried to make it to the site at least once a day, I didn\'t want anyone to think I was shirking my duties and got too good for the board now that I\'m staff :D I check on news whenever I can (not too much stuff in the month of January) and post interesting feedback whenever appropriate (and smart ass comments whenever they\'re not...).

So, to all my college-going folk out there, what are you taking up/when do you expect to graduate? And, so no one feels left out, to all the grade-schoolers, what are you thinking of taking up in college?

I\'m studying Computer Networking, and should receive my Associate\'s Degree at the end of the semester. However, I\'ve taken a new course this semester that was never offered before: Computer Forensics. It\'s basically explains the legalities behind computer crime, how to perform an examination on a suspect computer, that sort of stuff. Really cool. Apparently it\'s part of a new program offered; half computers, half criminal justice.

Anyways, after I receive my Networking degree, I plan to transfer to a four-year college and go for my Bachelor\'s. However not too many schools in the area offer a four year degree in networking, so I\'m going to be paying for it....big time...

The one time in your life you finally want to go to school, and they charge you out the @$$ for it! Oh well, whatcha gonna do?

i'm on a computer info. technology program, blah .. so much work .. i was enrolled into 18 hours but then I'm taking this one class that's so much work so I had to drop a class so now I'm down to 15 hours which is still pretty hectic. I haven't been around on here either for awhile due to school, only I don't work 40 hours a week like you do, that must really suck

Lol, it sucks, but sometimes I find time at work to do homework. I guess I'm lucky in that I found a full time job in my field before even finishing college, but it does make finishing college a bit difficult. One reason why I've been there so long is that it's hard to find courses that meet my schedule requirements. Hey, they say it pays off in the end, right? My job automatically gives me a raise when I receive my degree :D I guess you gotta spend money to make money.

My major is accounting right now and I should graduate in the spring of 2010. From there I am going to try to go to law school (tax attorney/international law) and be a big jerk for the rest of my life (I just want the money). If that doesn't work out I've wanted to be a special or secret agent for the government since I was a younger.

The computer forensics you speak of sounds cool. An area of accounting that interested me was forensic accounting haha. Basically you just use software to find errors or crime and stop ENRON from happening.

I'm a senior at Missouri State University majoring in Psychology and minoring in General Business. I'm taking 16 hours this semester, working part-time (15-20 hours a week), and I own a tri-plex near campus that I live in, manage, and rent out the other 2 apartments. I graduate in August and if all goes as planned I will start on my Masters degree in September!!!! It would seem like I'm pretty busy but its so early in the semester that I havent had much homework....YET!! I'm sure when April roll's around I'll be busy as hell. Until then I will be gaming it up everynight playing COD4 YEYAH!!!!!
