The University of Wisconsin: Eau Claire

You can go to college for two reasons: to get a degree that will place you in a career, or to pursue universal knowledge. I would have rather pursued universal knowledge at Thomas Aquinas, but the way things worked out, I've been relegated to the sort of college where you go and get a degree: the University of Wisconsin: Eau Claire. Maria's Music will have something to say about universal knowledge one of these days. At any rate, I am signed up as an actuarial science major. Actuaries do lots of math, like figuring out your insurance rates. Depending on how many credits I can get out of the way in the summers, and how many credits I get as a result of AP Tests next week I may double major in English Literature Education also.

I'm still waiting for some paperwork to get through, but hopefully I will be taking Microeconomics, Macroeconomics and Introduction to World Religions online this summer. 9 credits (including a rather palpable way to swallow my diversity credit) for $90. Not bad.
