You might have seen my number topics here several days before. Thank you for your comments and sorry for not replying to them. I wanted to create some kind of intrigue and hype in such way :) Some of you guessed that it was a countdown. SO WE WILL ALL DIE NOW, MUAHAHAHAHA! No. We won't. At least most of us won't die in the nearest future.

The countdown was dedicated to my graduation.
3 days ago I had a defence of my thesis.
2 days ago I was closing different formalities.
1 day ago I was on the ceremony and received my master diploma! And level 2 coincidentally ^_^

So now I'm no more a student :( (luckily it doesn't make me to change my nick like in case with Student123 :D). It's a sad and happy event at the same time. On the other hand I'm planning to go for PhD, so soon I will be a student again! But of course it won't be the same.

It was a long and very diverse experience. 6 years. Can you remember yourself 6 years ago? That's a huge amount of time. About 6 years ago was released the first version of Android. Also when I only started my education I didn't even have the laptop (hello, 2009). Things were much different in many many ways.

These years were probably the best in my life. But there were surely the worst among them too.

So I created a small train [ended] to celebrate this. Feel free to take your sits :)

Maximum level requirement: Level 1
End time: Saturday, 20 June 2015, 20:00:00 (GMT+3)


There is something special for my whitelist. It will run for about two weeks in order for everyone to see it.


Also I created the puzzle. It's a rather hard one, but I believe that you can solve it! Everyone who solves it will get whitelisted :) I recommend you to use http://wikimapia.org/ while solving it. By clicking on the interested object you'll see the coordinates of it under the description. I have taken the coordinates of objects from there.
Because it looks really hard for me at the moment, I'll add some hints later if there are no winners. Actually there are some hints already :P

Do not ask others for hints. It's against rules. You should solve it individually.

Applied physics and mathematics. Something in physics. Superconductivity for the current place, but may be I'll change it a bit later.

I think it's a bit sad though there are some well known examples of great people with similar stories :) Do you plan to finish it some day?

I love the idea of going back to college, but it took me years to pay off the debts I incurred from those three years. I'm not eager to rack up a bunch of debt again. A pile of debt can weigh like an anchor and not only limit your options in life, but actively prevent you from doing much to correct it. I ended up getting rid of internet and biking to work for 4 years to get everything cleared up and have enough cash saved up for a car.

I think if I absolutely knew what I wanted a degree in, and had a hard plan on how much and how long it would take me, its something I would seriously consider (or if cost simply wasn't part of the equation). I love learning and I've always enjoyed school, but while I find a lot of topics fascinating, I can't imagine them being my career.

Oh, paying for education completely changes the situation. I don't have the cost as part of the equation luckily. And I can't even imagine it being a big part for myself. I don't know exactly how big is it in USA (and to be honest I know the USA educational system very bad) but in post-soviet countries the quota for free places isn't that small. So I was payed for my higher education, not the opposite.

The educational system in the US isn't very bad; its just kind of a mess these days. Far too much money is spent on administration at every level, rather than on the things that actually impact the students.

The cost to attend university can vary wildly, depending on what scholarships you are eligible for/have the right connections for, public vs. private, in-state cost vs. out-of-state, and even the courses you take. They nickel & dime you every step of the way, and it really adds up over the years.

If I could go to school for free, I'd sign up tomorrow.

Sorry, by saying very bad I've meant that I do not know much about it :) It's late here zZ

As for schools/colleges. There are different ones here too. But there are enough of not expensive/free. I see college as something between school and university, am I right? If it is so I didn't attend it and know practically nothing about how it works.

In the US, the terms university and college are interchangeable. Either way, its the optional schooling that takes place after the mandatory 12 years of school (secondary/high school).

There are also smaller, cheaper, localized schools that offer post-secondary classes (community colleges). Typically, people go to these for some skills training, for fun, or to fulfill some prerequisites before attending university.
