Do overs

Back home after the last class and the final exam. I surprised the instructor with autographed copies of my books, and let him know how much I enjoyed the class. When last seen, he was reading DEVLIN'S LUCK while the rest of the students finished up their exams.

In the past few days I've been thinking about what other courses I'd like to take. My degrees are in Computer Science and Management of Information Technology. But given sufficient time and money, if I were to go back to school now, I'd study something completely different.

As a second career I'd probably go for a degree in Library Sciences, specializing in computer-based research. For pure fun, I'd study forensic science, or perhaps languages or history.

What about you? If you could study anything you wanted, what classes would you take?

Once wishweaver finishes her Masters in Computer Security, I'm going to go back and pursue my Masters in English. I'd like to do some adjunct teaching at the local community college and I need my Masters to do that.

However, if I thought my math was stronger, I'd love to continue with Astronomy. I really, REALLY, enjoyed the Introduction to Astronomy class I had to take to get my Associates this past spring.

Astronomy would be very cool and shiny. But I imagine once you get past the intro level there's a lot of math and physics.

Math and physics! Yummy!

It might be more Yummy if I'd had a math class since 1977.

I dare say, I've forgotten most of my "upper level" math skills.

I'd have to start again from the basics too. Or hire jpsorrow a a tutor... I hear he works for chocolate.

Well, if we weren't in the middle of remodeling our house, my "big" Christmas present was supposed to be a 10" Newtonian telescope. Maybe next year.
