Uni

oh my goodness you guys!
I've discovered the most amazing thing ever (well at least it is to me)...

My major in college has been on the intensive side. My curriculum was pretty much decided from my very first quarter. Out of my 18 required general ed classes, I got to choose 6 of them (3 philosophy, UK film studies, creative writing, and history of jazz music). That's only 24 units of free choice out of the roughly 220 units I will have completed when I graduate in June.

Don't get me wrong, I haven't hated all my classes (...maybe a few...). I wouldn't be spending the time to pursue engineering if it didn't fascinate and challenge me. Though one of my required classes that I took winter of my junior year (environmental policy) inspired me to no end. If I had discovered it earlier, I honestly may have changed my whole major. It was also too late to start a minor, so I had to find ways to learn on my own. I'm currently taking a sustainability class for my own satisfaction and will take the 2nd part next quarter. I've been seeking out university extension/online programs for a certificate.

Okay sorry for the long intro, here's the point. I remembered hearing about "iTunesU". Where some universities upload lectures onto iTunes for students to access free. It would be a great way to learn more on my own right? And then...then I realized that Cambridge University uses it. Oh happy day! They have VIDEO! and british lecturers. I immediately began downloading as many as I could. Even their Admissions video for prospective students. Anything to immerse myself in Cambridge and pretend I'm there. So glorious. So since my bank account remains a sad state of affairs, I can download iTunesU lectures and whisk myself away to foreign locales.
