It's recently come to me that I'll never be afforded the opportunity to go to college if I ever am returned home. I never had the time to really think what that means, but it doesn't sit well with me. So here's a list of things I'd like to learn. If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it.

Any sort of physics.
Mechanical Engineering.
Any Engineering, though Mechanical seems to be where I thrive.
History - any, particularly Earth, but I'd like to learn about any culture.
Science. I decided to broaden from just physics - especially if there's chemical engineering. I've dabbled with bio-chemistry here as well, building medical equipment.
-Genetics would be interesting.
Combat skills, particularly hand to hand. Not that this is something collegiate, but it would be helpful.

I think that's it, but if there's anything along these lines that could help, I'd be interested.

[Dr. Temperance Brennan]

I'm done. Finally finished. Both pieces are usable now.

Oh, I am. But one of my companions took to calling me Professor, instead. That was Ace. Lovely girl, had quite the knack for things that went [He makes explodey noises]

[signedlefthanded]

[She laughs.] I've rigged things to explode -- more as an escape route though.

[hulloeverything]

That's usually when I use it... though I admit that's not always the case. I should see if I've still got any of her Nitro-9 somewhere. It did come in handy more often than I ever admitted.

[signedlefthanded]

Are you trying to get me to blow something up?

[hulloeverything]

[He laughs] Not unless you'd like to.

[signedlefthanded]

When would I not like to?

[hulloeverything]

[That just makes him laugh harder]

Well then, would you like to come by? I can show you that Nitro-9.

[signedlefthanded]

Anytime! [So excited.]

[hulloeverything]

Well, my dear, my door is always open.

[signedlefthanded]

I'll have to stop by then.

[hulloeverything]

Brilliant. Now, then, how have you been doing, my dear?

[signedlefthanded]

I'm alright. Busy, but doing okay.

[hulloeverything]

Busy is good, though. I'd rather be busy than have nothing to do.

[signedlefthanded]

Me, too. I finished working on some medical equipment for Dr. Brennan. Now I'm working on some other things, and I'm learning some self defense.

[hulloeverything]

Self defense, hmm? What kind?

[signedlefthanded]

Nothing in particular. Just learning.

[hulloeverything]

Which is the more important part. What it is doesn't matter as much as the desire to continue learning something new and trying new things.

[signedlefthanded]

I don't think I'll ever want to stop learning.

[hulloeverything]

Which is as it should be. Look at me! I'm eleven hundred and seven and I've never stopped!

[signedlefthanded]

[She can't help but laugh.]

That's good to know.

[hulloeverything]

It's especially useful around this place. Even without the library, just talking to everyone about their respective planets and universes has been incredibly educational.

[signedlefthanded]

I've gotten that as well. Just listening to people is a wealth of knowledge.

[hulloeverything]

Oh it absolutely is. Hearing things from those who have lived it is far more accurate than reading it in a book.

[signedlefthanded]

I don't mind reading, but I've always been more proactive than that. My brother was the one who always had his nose in a book.

[hulloeverything]

Both have their merits, to be sure. [he thinks] You know. I think you might be interested in going through my store rooms one of these days. I have loads of things I've picked up from my travels in there!
