Well, school/college will start on Monday, Aug. 24th for me, and I’m not really too excited about going. I got my books today, and frankly I’m terrified of accounting now because I hate anything regarding math. I haven’t had anything regarding math for 2 whole years. I didn’t take calculus in my senior year of high school, and in my first year of college I didn’t do anything in math because I was catching up in English and learning business concepts. All my other subjects should be fine and doable, but accounting is intimidating at this point. Anyways, here is a picture of my books so you all can see them. I’m taking 12 credits this semester = 4 classes, and the semester will end Dec. 11th.

College Books for this semester.
College Books for this semester.

The two books on the bottom are both the dreaded accounting books that I’ll be learning from. One is a text book, and one is a work book for accounting. I’ll be taking business law this semester, and the book for it is above the two accounting books. Looking out/looking in is an oral communications book, and it’ll help me a little with speaking in front of people and more. The very top book is the human recourses book, and I’m quite excited to get into it because I think that it might be fun.

I’m looking forward to see some familiar faces again. I already know two of my instructors because I had them before for something else, and I like them. I’m hoping that I’ll see some friends again, because every semester the classes change, and you never know who you will see.
 
As far as gaming goes, I've been going casual. I've been enjoying Wii Sports Resort and Bust-A-Move Plus! I don't want to get into anything hardcore because I'll want to finish the game. Cough -- Majora's Mask, Secret of Mana, Pikmin -- Cough. Also, I'll probably get The Sims 3, the game I've been pining over, around Christmas time.

Well, thanks for reading my boring blog about me going back to college. As time as winding up for me to go to college, I won't be on Giantbomb as much as I want to, but such as life. College does have to come first and before anything else. If you all got anything to say, add or ask, I’m  around. See you all later, and until next time my fellow Giantbombers!

High school is hard too. You can't say it isn't. If it isn't the homework that bugs you, there is always something else that gets in the way. : - P

I start college September 9th, I'm kinda of excited yet freaked out at the same time.
 
I took an accounting class last year in high school and I learned some good things that can be applied outside of working as an accountant, but I absolutely hate math so I am taking as little math in college as I can
 
Good luck!

Good luck! It's easy to fall in and out of practice with math. You'll catch up. Don't let the books scare you. You're bigger than them :P

I am glad that I left math behind last year. I'm going into senior year of HS and I'll never have to take the subject again. Everyone groans about how they hate math, but goddamn, I really hated that subject. I would try to grasp all the formulas and understand where to put the numbers but I just couldn't get it.
 
But good luck to you. Accounting is a good field if you ever decide to go into it. I have a few friends who are looking to go that route.

 I'm trying to have that idea of easy adding and subtracting stuff, but the size of the book overruled. : - P

That's pretty late to start college, well for me anyways. Any school I've been too started in August. Thanks. :)

True that I might be bigger than the books, but they are certainly wider than I am!

I don't like math either, and I hate to say that everyone does need math. : - / I'm not really sure what I want to do yet. Not sure about being an accountant either really.

Well, I've gotten all my compulsory math credits and I'm familiar with the basics... so beyond that, unless I decide to go into a career which requires knowledge of high-level  math (which I'm quite certain I'm not), I don't think I need it.

I understand that. Supposedly business management requires only accounting math. No calculus needed. :P
