2,000th post party!

[tessspoon]

never had anyone tell me that before, my self-esteem is now back to where it was before that quiz.

   Mission accomplished!

I was going to be a computer science major but I just can't seem to do good in any classes besides English so I am think I may become an English Major now.

[Haids1987]

Yaaaay, English!  That's what I'm doing too.    I love English so much I have three literature-themed tattoos. 

[tessspoon]

Comp Sci I can do, but I can't interpret books or write worth anything.

[Haids1987]

Haha!  We all have our things.  I think that I could probably do computer science, but I much prefer English.

lol, this is great! I started out as an interior design and architecture major, but realized that I didn't have the aptitude for it. I still like to draw house plans though.

I ended up majoring in speech therapy, and who knew how much science went into it! I barely made it through neuroscience as well as anatomy! Always said I wouldn't go into a science field...

Back on semi-topic...I believe we once had threads for people of different post ranks, where you could only post in that thread, if you were that rank

Never saw those! Cool idea

Sounds like segregation to me...

I'm going into Web Design and Interactive Media next year, and I'm worried about the amount of math I'm going to have to do. But I suppose I'll cross that bridge if/when I come to it... Right now I'm just ready to move out of high school and go right into my intended field of study... I'm only taking Forensic Science to fill my graduation requirements...

In on-topicness: Are those threads still in existence? If not, they should be created once again. They'd be great ways for people to up their post count (and I really need that...)

[koko_99_2001]

Isn't that what these threads are for now?

[dark-daventry]

good point

But the more the better, right?

[Haids1987]

No!  Then I'd have all these topics for TSL Groupies thatI won't be able to participate in.

never had anyone tell me that before, my self-esteem is now back to where it was before that quiz.

I don't care that it's off topic. This conversation thread is fantastic.

For the record, I have the highest respect for math majors (...I happen to be thrilled to be dating someone who will be majoring in math next year). It takes general skill and awesomeness.

I was going to major in CS, but I decided to major in Game Design since that's more applicable to what I want to do, and I can graduate in 4 years instead of 5. (In other words, CS is also a ridiculously awesome major )

[tessspoon]

Where are you going that CS is a 5 year major?

We don't have a Game Design major, sadly. That would be a really cool major . All we have is Computer Science and Computer Information Systems. Although we do have a Game Programming and Computer Graphics class and a AI class. I've never worked as hard and as much as I did for that Game class, but it was also one of the most fun classes I've had. AI... not so much. Though that's probably because that's the one class I still haven't finished making up work for and have been procrastinating on for months.

I wanted to go into games at one point, but now I have no idea where in CS I want to specialize in.

[Rosella]

I'm going to RIT. They have a co-op program where you take 3 quarters (the equivalent of one year) over the course of your college life to work at actual companies. The Game Design major has the co-op too, but apparently they want you to co-op during the summer or something...I'm not really sure, but they say it's a 4 year program.

I'm not sure what the game programming classes are like though. The one you described being in (where you got to get experience and level up) seemed ridiculously fantastic.

And why the change of heart? I mean, anything in particular make the rest of CS seem interesting?

[Haids1987]

I don't care that it's off topic. This conversation thread is fantastic.

I agree with you, Rosella, this is awesome. 

Computer science is something I thought about doing as well, but my heart really is in books and English, so that won over.  I'm going to (eventually) be a librarian, though I'll for sure have to take some computer classes in that field anyway.

[MangoMercury]

No!  Then I'd have all these topics for TSL Groupies thatI won't be able to participate in. 

We could always have Genie raids on the higher up threads?

And I love how off-topic this thread has gotten.  Only in the TSL Off-Topic forum!

[B'rrr]

Was there ever a thread, except for the General chat thread, staying on topic for longer then 2 pages? oO

[koko_99_2001]

I don't think there was But let's celebrate 2,000 posts.

YAY!

*celebrated*
