My advice would be to check out of state tuition rates. May be much cheaper to go out of state than in state.

Schools here have deals with each other. Some schools will be up to 50% off the already lower Mass resident tuition when I transfer, from what I understand. Besides, maybe I can end up at MIT for grad school. :lol: I can dream, right?

Well I got my grades finally. I got a 3.82 this semester so I had a drop. 3 "A's" and one "B." I am a bit disappointed in myself. I got the B in my Green Technology course and I know that I half assed it since it was just an elective. I guess I got what I deserved. My overall GPA is now 3.87.

And I know that no one gives a shit about this thread but I think it will be cool to look at after I get my degree. :D

Summer semester done and I got my GPA back up to a 3.9. Actually it ended like two weeks ago. I got an offer from my school to be a paid tutor for Computer Science this coming semester. Apparently I was recommended by one of my teachers. It is only 3 to 6 hours a week I guess and it pays $10 an hour. Might as well do it I guess. I bet it will look good on my transcript. I am also taking the Honors Colloquium course this fall. :brag: Actually last semester it was on Imagination and Creativity but it changes from semester to semester and I am hoping it is not the same. :lol:

Also taking some networking and computer science classes this fall.

So school is going well for anyone interested. :D

I'm concerned this will cut in to your ability to attack ships while on fire.

Ahh school about to start, how fun...Four days a week. This will drastically cut back on my game playing time and my ability to stay up ridiculously late.... :roll:

ANYWAY! Sounds like you kicked ass and took names at school for the summer semester, good jorb. 8)

I should graduate/transfer after the fall. :D

Still working as a Computer Science peer tutor.

I'll probably go to North Eastern if I can work out some scholarships or something.

I am going to apply to MIT just to see what happens. :D
