Did a part time semester at Red Deer College way back in the fall of '99. Also challenged an electrical ticket there. (3rd year apprentice in 90 minutes)
Took a high school math course at Grande Prairie Regional College in the winter '01.
Took a CPR course and a H2S course at NAIT this spring.
Been at the University of Alberta since fall '02. General Science part time, for a year, while working full time, till spring 03. First year of Engineering, Fall 03- spring 04, but I didn't make the GPA cut to gain admittance into a specialized program. Spent fall '04 enrolled in the faculy of science, taking engineering courses. Accepted "under outstanding circumstances" (4.0 GPA, emails to the chairs, the dean, and an interview) into the Chemical Engineering program Jan '05. Transfered into the Civil program, which I offcially began at the start of September. I'm somewhere between my 2nd and 3rd year, with a fair bit of credit for my final year. In all, it will have taken me 11 or 12 semesters to get a degree that should have taken 8.
