AW: Not to brag or anything (well yes to brag!)

I doubt anyone remembers me mentioning this, but last fall I applied to go to a local university to get my bachelors. I've been on pins and needles for months waiting to find out if I got accepted and not sleeping really well because of it!

Then my anxiety got worse because I found out that the major I applied to only accepts about 5 transfer students a year!

Happy to say that I will sleep better now! I just found out that I was accepted. After my flipping out and jumping around, I sent a picture of me wearing a shirt from the school to H.

I'll probably be one of the older students there, but oh well! I'm university bound!!!

    I'm majoring in Informatics which is a pretty new branch of computer science. It focuses on real-world settings and the design of information systems.

    I could totally nerd out, but I really want to focus on human and computer interaction.

    Thanks!

    congrats






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

    Congrats! & dont worry about being the oldest person. Its awesome that you are working towards your goal of getting a bachelors degree. TBH, I kinda wish I wouldve waited a few years prior to starting college. I feel like I wouldve been more focused.

    Thanks everyone! I'm super excited!

    And Angel - you totally should do it! Not many places have Informatics majors. This is the only school around me that has it. So I would jump at the PhD chance!

    Its such a new field that they're still in the development process for the program. Its taking them longer to get approved, since none of the definitions and expectations for the field are in place. So the professors are writing everything from scratch. Its pretty exciting!
