We know things...

So, instead of losing everyone in threads about GH, I thought a thread in Gen. Chat would be good to compare sizes... of brains. Or something... I guess post your major/degrees/what you want to learn here. And random fun bits of what you know (JHetfield, JCirri, I'm looking at you).

I'm majoring in meteorology, which is what I've wanted to do pretty much all my life, although not really TV meteorology. And I also like math and physics, and so I'm picking up minors in those, which is good cause they're the bases of meteorology

JHetfield, Diff. Eq. was my favorite math course thus far (although Linear Alg. is a close second)

I'm double majoring in Film Studies and French at Ohio State, so maybe I'll get a job one day. I doubt it, though. I also like Philosophy and will probably get a minor in it since I've almost taken enough classes for one. I hope to get a doctorate in film and become a professor.

I like films of the 70s and 90s, as well as cheesy action movies from any time period (Bloodsport, Escape From New York, etc.). My favorite movie is The Big Lebowski and one day I would like to teach a class on its symbolism / Coen Brothers' symbolism flair.

By the way, trofl, I've always thought meteorology seemed really interesting. That's cool that you're majoring in it.

Differential equations was my favorite math course too!

Especially solving non-homogenous systems and finding the general solutions to them!

Well, anyway...my majors were geosciences and atmospheric science, and I finished my undergraduate work this year. My minor was in Japanese language. I got accepted into the Atmospheric Sciences graduate program at University of California at Davis, and am really interested in modelling thermohaline circulation and forcings on it using atmospheric-oceanic coupled models. I've done an independent research project on that already, so I'm hoping to build from there. But I'm going to work in Japan for at least a year first, so I deferred my acceptance.

Hey trofl, by the way, what's been your favorite meteorology course so far, and what aspect of it interests you most? Modelling definitely counts too! Mr. Green

I'm self-educated (read: highschool drop-out -- easily one of the best decisions I ever made, but I don't recommend it for everyone), and I've been employed for the last 20-some-odd years in the computing industry in one fashion or another: hardware tech, Unix systems administration and C programming trainer, C/C++/perl programmer, SQL database designer and admin, network designer and operations manager for a medium sized ISP (~500 dail-up ports, back in the old days of dial-up), systems admin, etc.

Oh, and way back in my youth, I baked bagels. :P

I'm a typical metaller. I know sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll!

I got my BS in electrical engineering in 2005.

Some people would probably consider me a know-it-all. I played quiz bowl in college on the A team for the University of Michigan, which is one of the best teams in the country.
