I like math, it's okay, as long as.. I don't know how to define it, or any specific area, but some of it just plain sucks because it's very unnecessary looking and too long and out-of-the-way to solve something that's only an abstract concept anyway..

If you are seriously going to go to school for an engineering degree, Louisiana Tech is one of the best engineering schools in the south.

Eh, I really really don't want to go to Tech, mostly because of the Student Life.. or lack thereof. Also, I've heard LSU BR is as good, if not, better than Tech for engineering in certain fields, though I still haven't picked a specific branch.

I already have scholarships to get full admission for both, Tech is cheaper, of course, but being in BR: very close to NO, party school, and far far away from home.

away and away and party party party


oh and, I also plan on possibly double majoring in a liberal arts field, and minors in others, so that's why I also want to go.

What type of liberal arts field? AND party, party, party.

At some point in my life, I hope to get at least one PhD. I would really like to study and get a degree in Philosophy, maybe Psychology/Sociology, Literature, and possibly French, if I move to Quebec, Canada. I'll either be moving to Quebec, Montreal, or Switzerland, I'll decide when the time comes and whichever is more appropriate.
