    I just received some good news.
    I got accepted to study for a bachlor degree in "Games and multi-media programming" So I'm moving in two-three weeks, to the other side of the country. The only downside is, during the first semester I'll be using Java, and the rest, C++. So that means much less Delphi.. I'm so exited I can hardly wait

    Congrats!
    You know - "the other side of country" sounds a little different if you live not in Norway, but like me in Russia :lol:

    Studying what you're interested in might turn out not as great as you think, in my last semester I had computer graphics, at first it was funny but soon turned to scary, imagine a professor saying stuff, while maintaining a serious face, like: a monitor consists of: a CPU, framebuffer etc. If I had no knowledge of computers I could have learnt such things, but forcing to memorize what you know is nonsense is impossible. But maybe it's better in Norway.

    Thanks everyone

    @Paulius: Yeah, I know what you mean.. last year, I studied electronics, and I had 5 hours of computer science a week as part of the course. It was really awfull, since it was basically just like you described. Questions such as "descibe the details of the internal RAM bus" where quite common. In addition, we where using VB, which isn't exactly my idea of fun, at least not when you're used to Delphi, or when the techer has no idea what he's talking about... But it was fun afterall, 'cause I ended up in a class of really cool people, and after a while, I could basically do whatever I wanted in computer science after doing a Pacman clone in VB the first week which seemed to impress the teacher considering the only thing we were going to learn all year was to init variables and very very basic stuff like that..

    Congrats and goodluck! I wish they had a course like that here in the Netherlands!

    @Paulius: I know exactly what you mean, I studied Technical Informatics and I had teachers explaining stuff to me that was totally wrong or so badly outdated that there was nothing interesting about it anymore... Really sad cause the course could have been so interesting!
    Do it by the book, but be the author!

    Yeah, you can run into weird teachers in Norway.. heheh, I ran into a Pascal teacher who knew less about it than me, and that was worrying for a private school where you'll have to pay alot of money.

    What school have that course Mrwb?

    Congrats and good luck
