    Thank you, Kasie. I am a geek (actually, I think being a geek is cool, which makes a dork, I guess )

    Good luck with Welsh! You should teach us couple of phrases in Welsh!

    I am glad finally these courses are available, Helga. Have fun!

    All of a sudden, the seriousness of my commitment hit me today: The course I am taking ends in October 2011! And I need to take two more courses like this one.

    My current course ends in the end of October on the same date my next one starts
    I'm going to fail miserably.
    I also think i've lost my senses as i'm doing two courses at once as another one starts in November. *gulp*

    How many credits are these courses? Try not to overload.

    I have decided to tidy up and put my assignments from past two years away today. Looking at the number of pages gathered, I could have written a book (however dull it might have been).

    Hi! Referred to by Scheherazade! Hi guys! First year in college and as a full time student. I'm aiming to get my associates in science, but I don't know if my major is science! All I know is that I want to be a veterinarian. Let the advisors handle the rest! haha. Well, I am in the honors program at my community college, so I have tuition paid for for two years...if I keep my grades up, which I really do mean to do! Let's see. After I get my AS(Associates in Science), I plan to transfer to a university with a 3.75 grade point average and a humanities class taken so that I can get into the honors program there and get two more years of paid tuition! So yeah, four years planned out already!
    Find your dream and stick with it...or your life will have slipped past in a whisper with you still on the bottom.

    Good luck with it all, Beautiful! You are going to have a really busy four years but it is great that you know what you want to do

    What is an associate, by the way? Is it like a diploma as oppose to degree?

    In the UK, you can get certificates (usually one year of study is required for this) or diplomas (2 years) and degrees are usually 3 or 4 years.

    Well, actually, associates is a degree. the process. is, Associates, Bachelors, Masters, then Doctors. Those are the four different degrees you can get. and they are respectively in the order i just listed off.
    I will get my Associates in two years, then move to getting my bachelors after that.

    but I really like learning about different school systems elsewhere. thanks for sharing Sche!

    Good luck, hope you enjoy your studies. And don't panic!

    I'm doing two modules this year; one in English language and the other is literature. I'm looking forward to starting them.

    Thank you! I changed back to a Literature degree as I decided that's what I'm most interested in, so I'm not doing the Latin anymore (at least not for a couple of years).

    I hope you can catch up with your studies. I can sympathise as it's very difficult to keep on track and keep motivated sometimes. I'm sure you'll surprise yourself though, so don't give up heart!

    Don't give up, please, Niamh. Try to spare couple of days and put together as much as you can. Panic always acts as a good stimulant

    I like the short courses but there are none any at MA level.

    I'm about 3/4 of the way through my first year (it's gone very quickly!)

    I'm on holidays for 2 weeks, followed by 4 weeks of classes (then exams )
    Hopefully I can scrape through and get the minimum average I need (already planning my graduate degree )

    So I finish in November, and don't start again until March - plenty of time for my trip to Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia

    Where are all the students??

    My first assignment is due on 23/11. I should take advantage of the half term and start worrying about it but probably that won't happen.

    Of course, it did not and here I am trying to put my assignment together without hyperventilating only three days before the due date... Hearing that some of my classmates have already sent theirs off is not helping either.

    I will be very happy with 70%.
