Back to School!

[Mehen]

Well it is back to school for me tomorrow! Expect to see less and less of me, except around exam time when I don't feel like studying - my post count tends to skyrocket...

U of Manitoba, 3rd year, mostly second year courses though, I spread my first year out over 2. After this year I will decide if I just want to finish off quickly - one year after this and finish off a general science degree, or two more years and do BioChem. Also going for minors in English and Psych, but it may end up as only psych - either way half done both of those already.

Tuition is cheap as h3ll here so its no biggy to experiment!

I did 4 yrs in 3, so it is possible to crack the whip if you tone down the partying to 5 nights a week

Wife (teacher) and Erik (3rd grader) started back Tuesday, so I'm a solo act again during the day. More time to edit, read etc. for a while....

Good luck to all.

I started on June 1st and already getting close to final exam time...damn Senior Project this semester

I've been back to school for half a semester now, not sure why the school times are out of sync pretty much everywhere in the world *scratches head*

It's primarily because we are in the Southern Hemisphere and our Seasons, Daylight periods etc are mixed up compared to the Northern Hemisphere.

Is there a difference between Electric Engineering and Electrical Engineering?

I don't know, I just "translated" Elektrotechnik off the top of my head.
