	If only! Learning to control the physical properties of the universe could only lead to extreme wealth. Well, or the destruction of all I hold dear through the accidental creation of a life sucking black hole. Or something. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Which campus? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Probably UTS, they seem to offer night time classes. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	I need night-time physics learnin'. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	We could be physics study buddies!!!! And eventually combine our powers and take over the world, until the 3rd trade paperback where one of us turns evil and needs to be beaten almost to death before repenting and saving the world (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	I can do evil! I can also do physics. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Time to email the physics department and see what one would need to do to convince them to take on a mature age human :-) (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Tell me what you find out! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	UTS is pretty good about mature aged humans. Hey, I've just looked at the science degrees subject lists and they're all 6 credit points! Slackers! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	UTS: the ugliest uni in Sydney :) (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	red_kat 2008-09-17 07:31 am UTC (link)
	At least I wouldn't be distracted from my learning by looking at pretty architecture :-D (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I think physics would be more fun but engineering will be more applicable to gaining a job. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	red_kat 2008-09-17 07:29 am UTC (link)
	Job-schmob! I care not for gainful employment, more fun is a good arguement :-D (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	red_kat 2008-09-17 07:30 am UTC (link)
	or perhaps I should do a degree in spelling, cause I seem to need one! (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	random_llama 2008-09-17 07:31 am UTC (link)
	spelling-schmelling I almost have a degree in reading through typos. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	red_kat 2008-09-17 07:33 am UTC (link)
	laughs causing whole office to look at me like I am crazy (Reply to this) (Parent)

	random_llama 2008-09-17 07:33 am UTC (link)
	it also depends on what kind of engineering you were talking about. Aeronautical engineering sounds kind of awesome, as does robotics. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	red_kat 2008-09-17 07:34 am UTC (link)
	that is true... mechatronic engineering was one of the options, but it doesn't say much about what it actually involves. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	random_llama 2008-09-17 07:44 am UTC (link)
	time to email some academics then! Also it would so rock if you went to UTS, you could totally visit my office and store stuff here. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	red_kat 2008-09-18 02:15 am UTC (link)
	Which would be totally rad! And could even involve coffee :-D (Reply to this) (Parent)

	sebthecat 2008-09-17 07:57 am UTC (link)
	As far as I understand it, mechatronics is pretty much a collision between electrical/electronic, software and mechanical engineering, with a heavy emphasis on control systems. Sounds like a blast to me - all I need is the time and the money. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	red_kat 2008-09-18 02:16 am UTC (link)
	That does sound neat.. argh! Decision! I wonder if they will let me do a couple of engineering subjects in a physics degree? (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	sebthecat 2008-09-18 02:36 am UTC (link)
	It's worth trying - do let me know how you get on :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Fo-rizzle doggy fizzle. Fuck engineering, it is full of sexist assholes who only know how to drink beer and and steal street signs. Do physics ftw, you will love the maths and research. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	red_kat 2008-09-18 02:17 am UTC (link)
	That is true. Sold! Now all I have to do is convince them to accept me without any experience (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	vena_trix 2008-09-18 07:51 am UTC (link)
	you dont need experience, you has a science! (Reply to this) (Parent)
