    Nice. Good luck in college man. Its not all fun. Mostly. But not all.
    Specs on the laptop?

    Edit: One more thing. Sometimes even with these basic classes that seem so 'behind' you sometimes they can teach you one thing that changes everything. Maybe just change the way you see something or give you one skill that you didnt have before and it makes it worth it.

    I took a few classes like that. I never had to study, just read the chapters assigned and got an A+. It was an easy couple of credits and gave me a chance to boost my GPA and catch up on the harder classes.

And then the way it eventually wanted me to go had the bridge closed, so I had to ask an officer for directions. At least I made it back home!
    Since real men never ask directions, should real men admit to using a GPS? (hehe) (JK!)

    Yes Pascal is old. I also took a Pascal class about 15 years ago, and the first thing the instructor said to us was; "Pascal is not used to program anything, it is only used to teach programming languages." I had to disagree with him, since the company I was working for at the time, used Pascal for it's flagship product; On Demand Courier software (all aspects of the business including tracking, payroll, billing, etc). I was hired to maintain a SCO Xenix system used ONLY for compiling Pascal code. I had to bring him proof before he would believe me. It does help if you have never had a programming class. Since you have had some programming, try to get into the C++ class instead (usually takes the instructors approval).

    Alright, so I'm home for the day. I did drop the photography class. But I'm not just going to leave that. I need a 4th class to be a full time student. So instead what I'm going to do is add a physics class. I just realized that I don't have any science class at all. But for what I want to do, I need this. I need like, 2 years of physics to help me get into MIT.
