Iｴm starting college the coming week again.(Trade management asia at Rotterdam university) itｴs all about culture and economics. ｴplanｴ is to find I way of life/job/work that Ilove so that I never have to ｴworkｴ a day in my life again.
non-college wise I study everything history related. especially philosophy/ideology wise, I consider myself to be an expert in confucianism eventhough I donｴt have a phd.....still looking for the Kemetian(Egyptian) book of the dead(want to compare it with things written in the tora/tenach/bible and koran,). I have great interest finding the origines of certain things.
funny thing is that I only recently found out that words like Algebra, azuur, magazine, cijfer, tarief,matras, spinage, sofa,arsenal,admiral and many and I really mean many words still used in the ｴwestｴ actually have Arabian origines. rｴ modern day alphabet is extremely influenced by the phoenician (alef=Alpha and I believe belga = beta) and egyptian alphabets.

I study information technology in a university. I still have one year left and then I'm done!
I want to study japanology in in Helsinki or get a place to study in Japan in the near future.
In my spare time I study many language related things, mostly Japanese, and I'm also interested in different ideologies and religions in the world.
History is also fun, although I haven't studied it nearly as much I would have liked!
My studies aren't compulsory. Here nine years of official schooling is oblicatory (this is usually finished by the age 15) but usually people continue to.. high school in English? (In Japanese it's "高校") or to vocational schooling institutions and also later to university.
I'm a student for ever! \o/

I am currently studying real estate and the stock market. It is not compulsory at all. Hopefully it will help me out in the long run, though!

Job requirement .
As a nurse's aid and home care nurse, state law says I must take 12 hours of medical training and tests each year. My company now has a great website where you can choose from about 50 medical topics. You read 5 to 10 pages of medical info and then take a 10 question test on it. If you pass, it prints you off a certificate you use to prove you did your mandatory training. I try to pick subjects that deal with my patient's medical problems so I can help them .
If I had the time and money, I would travel to meet as many of my good friends on JREF ,face to face, up close & personal.

I am majoring in Zoology and minoring in Chemistry. I am pre-med, however I am taking this semester (which starts this coming Monday) off of med and taking random classes. They are: Anthropology, German (language), Computer Graphics and Design using CAD, Math, and Evolution. These are subjects that I find intriguing and may help decide what I want to do.
In my spare time I do a lot of philosophical reading and am very interested in the skeptical movement. I read up on a lot of the pseudoscience and homeopathy bull that are being practiced in our society. I also read scientific research papers -however boring they may be- to keep sharp.
I would also like to travel to all the countries where I have roots. England, France, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Scotland, and Japan. I am actually looking to travel next year. I am not sure where exactly, but it will either be England, Germany, or Sweden. Money is the factor in me going or not going. It's just so expensive!!!
Not to be prude, but is this Serious Discussion worthy?

Well theres still time for me to change my mind, but so far I'm heading for Multimedia Computing, which from its modules looks like I can do very graphical type of computer work (but I'm not fully sure myself) or something like that. Other then that I of course study Japanese, was self-study for a few months but now I'm in a class which I'm rather happy about

I graduated from high school in June 2007. A few months later I started college without having any idea of what to study. I was already interested in studying Japanese, but the distance to universities with Japanese studies was too far in my opinion. So I started studying Journalism, which I quit after 3 months due to lack of motivation, and doubts about Journalism as a study and me being a Journalist later on..
So up to now, I didn't attend any school. I've learned alot of Japanese though because I stayed in Tokyo for 3 months during last spring, and I already had a good basic knowledge of the language. In October I'm going to start taking Japanese lessons in Tokyo for 1 year, and after that maybe I will go for a bachelor degree in Japanese studies after all. I should be able to take a short-cut in my course if I can improve my Japanese to a good level in the next year.
I have no idea what kind of job I want to do later on though. I always think that once I go study a course that is clearly connected with a particular job, I'll be stuck with it for the rest of my life. And one thing I would hate in my life is routine. So from now on I'm only planning to study things that are interesting to me, without worrying about later on. History, geography and languages for example..

I would like to visit Japan and China... Hong-Kong mostly of China, and of course, a visit to Corea would be nice!

I have been studying photography since last year, which I find myself being really passionate about. My new job is occupying about 2/3 of my brain right now, so it feels great to take a break and look through a view finder and the images I capture.
I would also like to learn winter montaineering this year.

I am a Japanese studies graduate and I plan to start my second masters in Japanese-British Comparitive cultural studies with reference to Eduducation and second foreign language learning
Whatever that means
I aim to be a university professor but I want a quiet life sofor my phD I intend to specialise in a subject so boring that no other student will learn it.
A comparitive cultural study of the History of Accounting in both Britain and Japan through the ages
Or, maybe, a comparison of atitdudes towards Earthworms
The masters I just finished is 'What can be deduced about the history of Budhism in Kyoto from the temple structures that remain today'
I am trying to get in published but it might just possibly be more boring than my intended accountancy studies

Currently, I am learning graphic design. I don't know how to rank it to my interesting or obliged. Actually, I am a full time Jr. IT Consultant. But it's releated with my part time job, I hope to shift my primary job to graphic or 3D designer. However, i don't know it's right decision or not. There are lots of things you have to do, It's no choice.
I hope to get a chance to visit Japanese Akiba. I am a crazy anime fan ^ ^

Officially I am still studying Communication and Multimedia design, but since I got hired after my internship I haven't had the time to finish my study. Not sure what I will do with it too be honest.
There are still lots of things that I would like to study though, but where to find the time and energy is the question at the moment. Anyway, the things that I would like to study are:
* Korean
* Photography
* Business management
* Neuroscience
I'm still young so I'm sure I will have more time in the future.
