Geoffrey Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 This is pretty random, but I just felt like announcing I just moved into my dorm at NC State today!. You may now continue your regularly scheduled program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allie+Tess&Kipp Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Congrats! I always loved the first week in a new place... Meeting all the neighbors, trying to find out what the decent food was, etc. I had CRAZY nutty engineers for neighbors in my dorm my last year of college. Well, I guess they thought I was really weird--the only history major they knew. Allie + Tess & Kipp http://weebordercollie.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Posted August 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 My roomate is an engineering major (he hasn't moved in). I'm a bio major, although you never know when I might change my mind, hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pipedream Farm Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Man, I can hardly remember college. But I know Bio was not my major, or even my minor. Enjoy college life. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodenlion Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 I was a premed and ended up with a dual degree in communication and now work for a construction company. Go figure. Enjoy the experience. Toni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Toni, I hear ya! I have degrees in chemistry and biology and have worked as a writer for 20 years.... Geoffrey, My nephew is a senior at NC State this year. He plans to go to med school and get a PhD in biochemistry (?) or something like that. Nothing like a little ambition, huh? Enjoy your time--college years are some of the best. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stafford Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 I was a music major for a year, then got a B.A. in Russian Language. Now I'm a network engineer. Logical progression there, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan's Mom Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Good luck. My boss' son is starting at NC State this year. I am an ECU grad myself...I think I am one of the few that went in with a major (accounting) in mind and graduated within that major in 5 years with a bachelors and a masters. However, it not what I thought I wanted to do at the time but I really like it now!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logical progression there, for sure. Not that my husband took any Russian Language classes; however, he does especially enjoy Russian history and has taken a few classes for is history content background. It always impresses me someone who takes up with another language!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Posted August 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Hijaking my own thread....JulieP, what do you do as a writer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack & Co. Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Go Wolfpack! I graduated from State in Zoology and Poultry Science back in the '80s and I'm now a full-time mom. My husband graduated from State in Economics and Business Management, got his MBA at Campbell, then went back to State when our boys were small and got a degree in Mechanical Engineering. It's a great school! Study hard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancy Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 No NO NO! Don't you dare even consider writing unless you get your degree in English. And not at State where the last I heard the choices were in "reading", "writing", or "editing". come on! Could I have gone into math and had a choice of adding, subtracting, or multiflying!?! Tech writing is the only way English majors stand a chance of eating! Well, one daughter is verifying assessments, the othe is teaching 4s & 5s at day care. Our son, who can read Anglo-Saxon (never mind Old English), and write alliterative verse is something with the words system, senior, analyst, and programmer last I remember. But that was because he answered the right question while wearing steel-toed shoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Rayburn Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Congrats! I have a Bachelor's in English, actually, and work at Wendy's. I'm looking into going back for a Master's in English (technical writing, probably). Technical, or maybe even editing, I've heard there are chances in. With some or most other writing areas--you better have a job to get food on the table and do the writing in your spare time, until that writing becomes self-supporting. Good luck. And hey, my minor will be Bio! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
