I like Spanish so I’m okay with not having Latin. And Spanish is useful, especially here in Southern California
If all goes well, I’ll get my license on June 17. I’m an okay driver. Haven’t ran anybody over (yet).
I’m really looking forward to it. Because I live in a rural area, being able to drive is basically a ticket to freedom. Plus I can get a job.
The school that I went to (before I transferred) didn’t offer Latin, but they offered Greek (which I took as an extra elective). I loved it!
I wish my school offered German or Japanese…or both! But since it doesn’t, I take Spanish. I like the language, but I’d rather take the aforementioned ones.
My school has Spanish, Latin, and French. I take French but I kinda wish I would’ve chosen Spanish since it’s way more useful
My school offers Spanish, French, German, and Latin. I’m taking Spanish and it’s very easy except I kinda wish I took French since my family is from there.
My school only offers two languages, Spanish and Latin. There is a teacher who speaks fluent Italian and another who speaks fluent Portuguese and they’re both pushing hard for those classes.
My school only offers Spanish and Japanese I & II. We got rid of French not too long ago because “Spanish is more useful in 21st century” or some crap like that, and got the Japanese classes like 3 years after.
My school has Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, and French, but pretty much only native speakers take Chinese and there’s one Japanese class per level.
On another note: I just discovered Stanford’s Symbolic Systems major, which is basically a major in artificial intelligence and human-computer interactions…
@topaz1116 the symbolic systems major is the coolest thing! My dad showed it to me years ago becasue he thought it overlapped a lot of my interests after hearing about it on NPR-- Marissa Mayer was an SS major (!)
I wish other schools that I’m more likely to get into offered Symbolic Systems as a major… I’d probably major in that, minor in physics, and be happy.
“I’d probably major in that, minor in physics, and be happy.” truer words were never spoken. Well said, @topaz1116.
I have no idea what I’d want to major in because I’m a little interested in everything. The only thing I’d never major in would be chemistry or the fine arts because chemistry is boring and I’m not good at art (though I wish I was and I do appreciate art). And probably not Mechanical or Civil engineering (also boring). I’ll probably major in a science, though. I want to work for a company where I’ll get something really cool for working there, like if I were to work for Carnival Cruises I’d get 2 free cruises a year. But if I wanted to work for them I’d also have to live in Florida…
Symbolic systems (or CS w/ focus on AI at any other school) would allow me to work at Google (where I want to work).
Actually, I want to work at NASA (physics) but the whole process (physics undergrad, getting a PhD, applying for a job) is going to be extremely lengthy and I don’t think it would be feasible; my parents, too, would rather I work in computer science. So I’m just going to go with that–it’s pretty interesting. Symbolic systems, specifically, also puts influence on philosophy/linguistics/neuroscience, all of which I find very interesting.
Note that I will probably change my choice of major soon.
At times I have thought I’d major in International Relations, Political Science, Environmental Science, Physics, Astrophysics, English, Creative Writing, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and a gazillion other things…
You guys have such cool plans for the future…mine is to probably major in psychology or neuroscience and go onto med school and become a doctor…work at a hospital or open a practice… my mom wants me to do CS because she works in the CS industry with a business focus and wants me to work for Google (funny) and get an MBA but that is definitely the opposite of what my plans are.
My parents think I should become a doctor… I don’t like bio though.
Guess who sprained her ankle today? I’d have the rest of school off, but we have a lab in chem and I like my group (I have to redo the lab with random people if I don’t come, which is not good since we’re doing titrations).
Not sure what titrations are, but good luck and I hope your ankle feels better!
We have a lab in chemistry tomorrow and I’m writing my prelab right now but none of this is making sense. The lab sheet says that the procedue is, and I quote, “It is important to trap 10.0 mL of air in the syringe and keep it trapped throughout the data collection. Once you have collected the data, you will try to find the mathematical relationship that best fits the data.” This doesn’t help at all.
When someone emailed my teacher, she said this: “You will trap 10 mL of air in a syringe, connect that syringe to a pressure sensor, and then measure the pressure of the trapped air at various volumes.” THIS DOESN’T HELP! The lab is supposed to have pictures but the pictures don’t show up and I have no clue how to draw the procedure and ugh. Ranting isn’t making me feel any better. ~X(
@topaz1116 Oh, titrations. They take so long to do. Anyway, I hope your ankle feels better soon!
@Faultystart whats the lab called? it sounds EXACTLY like the one I did last week! If it is, the procedure sounds confusing but once you actually start doing it its so simple
