New discovery: MIT OpenCourseWare

[sushimustwrite]

So now that I finally have some time to myself, it's time to report on something I discovered while putting off writing for Script Frenzy (14 pages, by the way), and putting off all those entries to write, and all those pictures to upload, and all that work to do.

MIT OpenCourseWareThat's right. Free versions of courses that were actually offered

Ooooooooh man. My little geeky heart is full of JOY just reading the course names. Thanks so much for pointing that site out, I will definitely be bookmarking it for future reference!

Oh, so did mine. I was copypasting links like crazy while going through the courses for reference and thought, "You know, might as well post this."

Also, your icon is three kinds of hot.

You know, you might find the novel "Native Tongue" by Suzette Elgin (I'm pretty sure that's her name) interesting. We studied it in my Science Fiction class in university. Of course, if you hate SF and can't suspend your disbelief for aliens, it might not appeal to you, but the book is all about the acquisition of language and how language shapes us.

I just Googled it, and it sounds really interesting. Thanks for the recommendation. (Also, you took a sci-fi class? Awesome.)

And aliens? Why not believe in aliens? You never know what's out there.

Amazingly, I also kinda like the looks of Ancient Philosophy and Mathematics.

Thanks for the links! ^_^

Free courses definitely mean mini-orgasm time. And you're welcome!
