Yeah, CC. What ya got? My youngest son is the artist in our family. He's 7 and can draw and paint like you would never believe. I should scan some of his stuff once the home computer is up and running and post them.
 
When ive taken a photo of it I will...

I love doing art, im not amazing at it, but if im doing the right picture I can occasionally curn out some half decent work. Id like to have done art at A-Level, but id have to do what i was told to do. (They just did a unit on fantasy art, not the kind of thing id enjoy). I took photography instead hoping it would be a bit more of a free reign but it isnt, bit annoying really.
 
our system's different over here, we study in a college for two years to get A levels before going on to university, at university over here you generally get a degree in only one subject, but there are over 50,000 to choose from! there are no majors and minors but you can take a course that's split into two topics of study, and we don't have to "declare" what you want to do pretty much until a few months before you go.........
 
Ah. Sounds like Junior College or Community College over here. You don't have to declare your major until your last two years of your 4 year degree for a Baccalaureate. However, sometimes declaring it up front can help get you into the program, since slots can be limited. I'm sure that university here in the states probably offer "50,000" different degrees too. However, only about 20 are worth their salt with industry.
 
over here college is very different to university, the two are not related, the A levels you get at college get you into a university course, which are typically 3 to 4 years study, with a massive discertation in the 3rd year, towards a Degree, so you can for example say you have a Degree in Engineering, normally followed by the university from which you got it, and after Uni there's not much more education you can do and you go into the big wide world of work.............
 
Sounds similar really.

First 2 years - Mostly general classes with focus upon basics of your planned major (like for science degrees Physics, Chemistry, Maths, English Lit and other electives).

3rd and 4th years - Baccalaureate degree specific classes (different each major like engineering, business, english, etc)

5th and 6th years - Specific classes towards a Masters degree

7th and 8th years - Toward a Doctorate.
 
Well heres the painting...first time with watercolours im quite pleased. It doesnt look so patchy and odd in real life - blame the high definition on the camera for that.

Starting flights in the C-12B this past weekend - damn she's a porker compared to the T-34C i'm used to! Talk about some mushy controls! Fun though!
 
You are better than me I never could get it right to do that. Great one CC.

It was my second last day at work and it was a bit long but I feel better because tommorow (wendsday) will be my last day at hell.
 
well this actually happened last night but it's such great news- at the speaking competition for which i was our team's main speaker we did fantastically well, i spoke a little too quickly due to nerves but no one picked up on that, i was told i was a natural speaker who gave an excellent performance and should do well at the next stage of the contest next thursday, i even got my own round of applause
