Likely a community college in San Diego. Will be in person as long as I can take the schedule.
Congratulations, Craven.
A sterling year at a community college and your unconventional-but-impressive resume should give you the best of both worlds.
Still, you have two years of ambitions to squeeze into 54 weeks. Your life should be a fascinating spectator sport.
Great to hear, CdK ... I wish you all the best. Just remember - don't let the curriculum interfere with your education - college learnin' is about a whole bunch more'n books - there's all sortsa stuff that don't get taught in the classroms and lecture halls. Well, some of it gets practiced in classrooms and lecture halls, but ya gotta be discrete
I'm impressed at how you are trying to prioritize. I remember doing that ...and then...I just stopped.
Bem, aparentemente você tem tudo planejado e mapeado perfeitamente. Isso já é um excelente começo. Aparentemente você tem também os meios, a vontade e disposição, faltando somente a perseverança e disciplina. Confesso, que pessoalmente, este último muitas vezes é o meu ponto fraco. Você por algum acaso sabe onde posso encontrá-los por encomenda?
Quanto à praticar seu português, eu posso ser de ajuda e até me candidato. Eu morei nos Estados Unidos por muitos anos e também perdi um pouco do conhecimento das regras gerais de gramática, escrita e composição e sempre tenho achado alguns erros de ortografia e pontuação aqui e aculá.. Também, por português ser minha língua nativa, eu estou sujeita aos sotaque da região que morei com predominância, Fortaleza (nasci no Paraná). Você sabe como os cearenses são, não sabe? Cearense é um povinho muito arretado, vice meu anjo? <risos...>
E por falar em Fortaleza... Muito legal saber que você já morou aqui 3 vezes. Eu estou passando uma temporada por aqui, mas já estou indo embora. Eu simplesmente amo as praias e as festas desse lugar e estou aproveitando muito pois nesse tempo todo que estive nos EUA eu sentia muita saudade de tudo. Mas é sempre muito diferente retornar-se ao lugar de origem (no meu caso, que considero "home").
Música... O que você acha da Cassia Eller? Já notei que você gosta muito do Legião Urbana, imaginei que talvez goste da Cassia Eller. O álbum Acústico MTV dela é excelente.
PS: Cara, não acredito que você trabalha 90 horas por dia! Como você consegue, criatura?
2 birds w/ 1 stone! :wink:
oh i totally got you superjuly... wonderfully put as well might i add
Ok - how does a "community college" differ from "college"?
community college usually offers basic classes and a 2 year associates degree. Regular college is usually 4 years and offers bachelors degrees with more specialized classes and majors.
Generally a "Community College" is a 2-year institution, typically offering perfectly acceptable Associates Degrees, technical certifications, and "edutainment" courses as opposed to the Batchelor's and higher Degrees and professional certifications offered by traditional 4-year and graduate schools. The financial aspects of community colleges, and their less-demanding course scheduling practices are of benefit to folks who might have neither the time nor money for full-time college, as well. They useta be called "Junior Colleges". They are a common stepping-stone to more ambitiously oriented institutions. They're a great place to find dates, too.
So - what value is an associates degree???? or is it just a way to university for folk without the traditional paperwork?
Ah - what I thought - thanks Timber.
Do American universities offer adult entry for folk without the traditional paperwork - looking at self-education, work experience, and also doing a thing called a STAT test?????
Community colleges are a good way to get started at school for adults without the traditional paperwork. Almost anybody can attend community colleges and, as Timber mentioned, the schedule is very flexible. Once you get an associated degree you can transfer those credits over to a 4 year university. You save money getting standard classes done at a community college as well as putting credientials on your application for a 4 year school.
though if you plan on transfering to a 4 year school make sure that said school will acept those credits that you are trying to transfer or you will be up said creek without said paddle!

It is good for some... I tried it for a semester here and there and couldn't really get into it... I referred to it as High School with ashtrays.
Not that its particularly germane, but my post-secondary education was all university-level, at pretty substantial institutions. That afforded a benefit I found conveniently twistable to suit my own laziness: whenever possible, I'd take a course conducted by the author of the central text or texts used. Egos bein' what they are, readin' the prof's book was all that was required for me to to "challenge" the course, takin' and passin' the required exams and completin' any essay or research requirements in just a few sittin's, leavin' free that particular timeslot for the rest of the semester. Thats not a ploy afforded much opportunity at smaller schools.
Nor at any university that I know of here!!!!!
That is truly shocking!
Though I once was forced by laziness to answer a question based on War and Peace - which I had not read since I was thirteen.
Course Challengin' is pretty widespread, dlowan - likely even in Oz. The challeger need merely demonstrate the course requirements have been met ... includin, if any, such required outside reading as may apply. In my experience, if a course's core text or texts happened to have been authored by the course's lecturer, a thorough grasp of what they were about and how they got themselves there was enough to pass the exams and to structure any required essay or research work in such fashion as would be sure to meet the prof's approval, while, as I'm a pretty good speed-reader, outside readin', if absolutely necessary, was just as easilly knocked off in relatively expeditious manner.
