Getting a second undergrad degree in a mostly unrelated subject
I think I may end up doing this 2-4 years from now, and I just wonder how common it is.

Also, a potentially stupid related question - how possible is it to get into a grad school in a subject you did not study in undergrad? Can you just take courses a la carte to meet the pre-reqs and/or beg them to let you give it a shot? All my research on grad school doesn't turn up much on what kind of students are accepted into the programs.

However the TAs, at some non-defined interval, may come in and comment or answer questions about the Study Group game.

phil_a_s, if you were in the study group last time due to a full class you should sign up as a student this time. Preference will go to people which were candidates who didn't get a go last time.

Good day.

I would be honored to be a student in this game if that is an option. I feel that I have a good record for staying in games that I start. I thoroughly enjoy this game. I have played more than twenty games, but I feel that there is a great deal of experience and knowledge that I could gain from such an experience. I would love to be a student/pupil if that is an option.
jengamaster (2132 D)
18 Feb 15 UTC
However I am going on a trip for a week in august (out of the country and with unknown internet access) and would need, assuming the game was still going on and I was still in it, a pause in action at that time. I feel it is important to convey that I would have that commitment.

I was in the Study Group because bo said it would be dumb for me to be in the class. I did rather well if I say so myself, so I don't think it would be quite appropriate for me to be a student this time around.

I'll throw my hat into the ring as well. Student obviously. Preference would be a country I haven't played yet like Germany, England, or Austria. Really my only preference is to NOT be Turkey as I've played 4/7 classic games on here as Turkey. Would really like to learn the intricacies of press, since I've mostly been playing low stakes public games which typically means I get very little press from most players.

@Death seeing as you took over a CD, that was also in a terrible position, last SOW, I don't have a problem with you being a student again to get a full/real experience per se, although I rather you be a 7th if we can't get enough naturally. And if not, let's have you spear-head making a Study Group game.

Will the SoW teach me how not to be open and honest with my feelings in press? (i.e. apparently I shouldn't call you a dumb-ass in press....) And all these years the good libtards have been telling me to share my feelings...and they only get me in trouble. sigh...

I need help!!! :)
