free school. woot.
Did someone say free school in my bedroom? Yesss. I’ve been in school pretty much since I was 5 until age 25. This is the first time in my life I’m not taking some sort of class and I’m basically going crazy. As soon as I get a stable job, I’m signing up for a bunch of classes, but until then, I have to keep myself ultra-occupied. That’s why I’m doing things like cooking all the time and reading tons and teaching myself Japanese. And now I just found the best thing in the world. MIT offers 1,800 free courses online. Um yes, have I ever been this excited? Nope. Sad, but true. I’m planning on learning everything. Legit. But I’m starting with the Japanese courses, thinking they’ll be a great supplement to my learning. Psyched. The site is basically class notes from each course and some have quizzes, audio, video, and project examples. Obviously this isn’t like taking a real class but it’s still a good basis for learning. And it makes me excited. And OK, my life is kind of lame. But I really don’t care. Because soon I’m going to know everything an MIT student who majored in everything knows. Ha.
