    I just said it was up to you and as I see, you are splitting me up. :)

    Whatever you want out of it, you got it.

    So my goal is to stay single until 2013 and have fun until then.

    Not bad Adam. So far I have only been there for 6 days but we are making advances into the market which is part 'A' of my business plan. Getting to know the market and the players in that market.

    I'll be going again next week on Monday through Wednesday or Thursday.

    Marta understands but is not real happy about my being away. BUT... she is very happy went I get back...

    Hello everyone! :)

    Welcome back Stringer!


    Okay, now I think it's my turn to have some downs... I was actually becoming keen into actuarial sciences and today, I heard that actuarial science is a very tough subject, which is more about economics and accounting than math. I don't know what to do... over the past days, I've been trying to find universities and scholarships and all that and now I have to just leave it?

    Sigh... I don't care whether it's tough or not... it could be difficult, but certainly not impossible. I'm currently looking into the Unit requirements, the things expected to know before each lecture and tutorials and I'd be glad to have access to some of the material which today are helping actuarial students in their courses, but that I know is practically impossible without actually being a student at the concerned university.

    Now, I fear that if I persist in that direction, I'll sooner or later regret it and worse, I'll be losing some years and quite some money for the cost and tuition fees.

    Oh, I looked up the website of MIT and I got confused. So many things, yet none of them contained information about what I was looking for, such as tuition fees (if one is not given any scholarship), List of undergraduate courses (where I'd look for actuarial science and info about it such as modules, facilities like part time study), list of post graduate courses (where I'll ensure I can stay in the same uni and further my degree), cost for accommodation and food, etc gah!

    Anyone here has some experience in Actuarial Science? One thing for sure, it's that there are not many Actuaries around the world.

    Hey Bella, I was just coming back here to carry on a conversation with myself but it looks like there might be some company.

    I wondered about what happened to WT as well. I took a break from this site for a few months and came back and it was gone. Pretty good times there.

    Aww Thanks Stringer. It's funny, cause I am just as proud to post my marks here as I am telling my mom and dad. This site and you, my friends, have inspired me more then you would ever know.

    Yes, we have all still been waiting--and rather patiently-- for those Christmas pic's Stringer babe.

    Once again my words come back to haunt me. OK we share. But its 60/40. Me being 40 since I am older and tire more easily. Oh oh oh does this make me a cougar? I sure can't be a sugar mama.

    Unky I read your post and didn't forget you. Wow, some stresses your under. You hon are the most amazing person for your age. If you were here you would blow these teenagers away with your knowledge and drive. The motivation you have to succeed is more then I see in most adults here. Its tough to decide what you want to do. But remember you are young. If you make the wrong choice you have the rest of your life to change it.

    You should not be offended by this but yes, technically you are a cougar. You should be proud!

    Thanks Sunny. :) Universities in Aussie are hopeless I think... they don't offer any financial aid like loans to international students following the recession, they no more give full scholarships, partial scholarships are given only to the students ranked in the first 32 of the country (I didn't have the chance to get up there... ) and even if I got the scholarships, the cost of food and accommodation would be too costly...

    I went to another educational fare today with some friends organised by the school and asked for some information. Well, for one, I now know that economics and accounts are not really required to do well in actuarial science. So far one has a good math, one would do fine.

    *Still looking for unis offering actuarial sciences courses*

    Hi Unky,

    Study Actuarial Science

    Thanks JLo! After a little talk with mum, I think that I'll not be able to do Actuarial Sciences :(

    Apparently, when a student goes to another country for tertiary studies, (s)he will have to return to their countries once the studies are over. Meaning I'll have to come back to Mauritius. Now, there are only two insurance companies here, and the demand in actuary is probably very low, and the fact that it'll take some time to move to another country, I would be jobless for some time and still need to pay for my past studies.

    Okay, I'm not giving this up yet. I want to try getting contact with people to make sure they need an actuary or not. So much to do, so many uncertainty, so little time >.<

    Well, besides that, I'm falling back on the others, Chiropractic Science and Civil Engineering.

    We got a couple of feet of snow over the last 24 hours, with more to come in the next 24. Wonder how long that will take to get there. :p

    Well, we skipped the 50° and went straight to 70° its hot as hell but beautiful at the same time. Well I guess it is 50° when I wake up in the morning. Then it keeps getting warmer.

    Yeee haaww! I don't think we will make it to 70 I think they are actually calling for snow again in a day or so. But today was great. You all want to come over and eat off my floor? Toilet? I have cleaned repeatedly today. There is nothing left untouched.

    Maybe if something fell on the floor I would eat it still but probably not the toilet. Thanks for the offer though.

    We are calling for 30° weather next week though so it won't last long.

    Have a great weekend Adam. I am off for now also. My son has group pictures tonight in his skating class. They are doing a show and the song is from Grease. He is so thrilled. He loves that movie like no other. He is Danny with all his Pink Ladies. To cute. Funny we had bought him a leather jacket like Danny's over the winter so he is wearing it as part of his costume. Now I have to work on the hair flip before we head out.

    Bye everyone!
