Comments on: Now I know why I didn’t reapply for Marks Hall http://www.intelliot.com/blog/archives/2007/03/25/now-i-know-why-i-didnt-reapply-for-marks-hall/ Thoughts, opinions and fascinating discoveries by Elliot, a student at USC Thu, 20 Nov 2008 10:01:48 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: TJ http://www.intelliot.com/blog/archives/2007/03/25/now-i-know-why-i-didnt-reapply-for-marks-hall/#comment-239874 TJ Mon, 02 Apr 2007 15:52:40 +0000 http://www.intelliot.com/blog/archives/2007/03/25/now-i-know-why-i-didnt-reapply-for-marks-hall/#comment-239874 How much TO have you done? If it's less than, say, half of it, you might want to email Richard Edinger and see about articulating out. If you do end up leaving USC, then I wish you all the best and everything. But I'm getting out of TO (meeting with the TO office today actually) and I think it's gonna make everything feel a lot more practical and less theoretical-bullshity, for lack of a better term. Whatever you do, don't stop fighting on. How much TO have you done? If it’s less than, say, half of it, you might want to email Richard Edinger and see about articulating out.

All I can say is hold in there. You're already half-way done, and you haven't even gotten to the exciting classes yet. Just wait until you get to take CSCI 445 and 402. Oh, and for what it's worth, I've been on the Internet since 1994. :) Elliot,

Hindsight is always 20/20, as they say. You've grown to this point, and nothing has been wasted. Nat wrote this on her blog which I thought articulated your stage of life very well: I am old enough to participate in activities that were once unavailable to me, and I feel mentally and emotionally developed enough to understand many concepts and ideas that previously eluded me. At the same time, I know I am still very young. And for once, that is a strength and not a weakness because it means there are myriad opportunities waiting for me. Thousands of unopened doors. In short, I feel like I am on the cusp of a very pivotal stage of my earthly existence, and it fills me with eager anticipation. I don’t think you’ve a mistake.
