News about everyone's favorite VizionEcker!
Okay maybe not. But still news about a VizionEcker.
In the fall of 2014, I was set to start at a 4 year University. But due to cost I started at a community college instead. No regrets.
I started with a CS major. And pretty early on, my advisor told me that I was going to fulfill my classes pretty quickly. Due to AP credit, I was basically going into college with all my math courses complete. So he suggested taking math as an elective. 2 years later, I graduated with an associate's in both Math and Computer Science. During my last semester I took a physics course for the first time in a couple years and thought about making a change when I started University for my bachelor's.
I wanted to take more physics courses but I already had a full plate. I still had a few extra gen eds beyond the associates. And I was set on doing two majors. After some scheduling, I found that I could take all the classes I wanted and actually get a third major if I were to take another year. A terrible idea money and time wise, but I was in it to learn.
Unfortunately things didn't go as smoothly as I hoped. Some classes took place at the same time, so I bargained with several teachers to allow me to learn the material and take the tests outside of class.
And worse yet, I didn't have anyone to supervise my final CS project, so it ended up getting delayed about a year.
So finally, this next week, 4 years after starting at the University I will be graduating with a Math, Computer Science, Physics Bachelor's degree
. A year later than planned.
In retrospect, there were a bunch of things that I would have changed. If I were to start over today, I probably would have skipped a few math and physics classes and taken more Japanese courses.
Alas.
