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.

Hi gang, I'm back from my trip.
He Stringer!
How was it?
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.
So how is everyone?
Sunny, my sweets, do I have to remind you?
Lol. You said it, you put the idea out there... Don't worry I'll make sure he... wait, better not go there, where the heck is WT these days?Quote:
Bella I might consider sharing adam, if he doesn't complain about that.
[QUOTE=Stringer;2711544]Hi gang, I'm back from my trip.[/QUOTE
Hey stringer, how was the trip? OK I read it, sounds amazing lol.I envy you. Some day I hope to be able to travel when it pleases me. That's the plan with me back in school and all anyway :D Still waiting for the pics from the previous trip.
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.
There were some pretty good times there :0 I miss it.
So I got a 100% on my bio test!
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.
Well, looks like I missed all the action for the day, I guess I will catch you tomorrow hopefully. I hope all of you havea good evening, I am having my family over for some pizza and euchre.
Lol. We'll be waiting.
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.
I am proud. Very proud. I didn't even need schooling for it. Won't get me far in life but it sure will be fun.
Yea, fun enough to torture the younger guys.
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*
You all need to come talk today. We will make a day out of it.
Hi Unky,
This site lists schools at the bottom of the page:
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.
Sunny this is for you... smile... :)

Thank you Stringer.
I have to tell you and Adam to keep talking about your weather. Every time you both mention of it your way I get the same thing here within a couple days. Today its breezy and over 50. Beautiful out. I thought I saw Adam saying it was like that his way not long ago.
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.
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.
50 o and very sunny, not a cloud in the sky... Monday... snow again.
See Stringer, same thing here. Strange I tell you.
Well everybody,
I hope you have a good evening and good weekend. I am out of here for the day and will be back Monday!
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!
