Rox!

I found out last night that I got an A in my Probability class, which is quite surprising as I couldn’t even finish our take home final.

That test was one of the tougher ones in my scholastic career, and I was sure that I totally bombed it. I guess everyone else did just as poorly as I did :).

Of course, thanks to UT’s lackluster after-hours program, I can’t take another class until next semester (if I’m lucky), which means that I should finish up my degree sometime around (back of the envelope calculations…) 2017. Yikes.

I’ve got to do something about that.

My schooling continues to move at a snail’s pace. I’m currently enrolled in a Probability class through U.T.’s University Extension program, but it’s slow going. And with a cursory glance at next semester’s offerings, it seems like there will be, again, only one class that applies to a Computer Science degree. And it’s another math class.

I found out last week that St. Edward’s University offers a full-time after hours Computer Science degree through their New College.

Pros:

  • Get a degree in a reasonable amount of time with minimal sacrifice.
  • Great Biblical studies dept., which keeps certain doors open for the future.

Cons:

  • Not UT, so it’s hard to say which classes will transfer. Any that don’t are a loss.
  • Not as good of a Comp. Sci. dept.

Decisions, decisions.
