Well done. Do you mean school or sixth form/college?

Secondary school ya... Finally! :-D

Good for you. I finished about a year ago (counting study leave). Knowing that you cannot be forced to go to school any more is quite an exciting feeling. It takes something like 6th form to dampen that

Any subject that has the word "science" in its name is not a science.

They will probably start with boring subjects. (Java programming for noobs for example, they'd take an hour to explain if even though it does exactly what it looks like it should do) And I hope you already have a lot of programming experience, the people who don't all fail, usually during the first year.

Cool. What you need to remember now is, academia and the real world are not always related. You should do what they ask you in school, but also keep a finger on the pulse of the real world, and learn the stuff that actually pays, while you're at school. Do that, and you can't go wrong.

Ya I do have a good bit but not in java, mostly c++ and c#. I sorta got interested in assembly(I have a chance to do some more research on it now that the exams are over :) ) when I read this[^] article recently so ya I hope I don't fail :)

This is totally great advice. Enjoy uni, it's a brilliant opportunity, but always remember that the academic world is a million miles from the real world with totally different goals and different ways of working. Keep up to date with the latest in real programming, it'll keep you one step ahead of all the other graduates when you leave.

Actually, you don't :) Just skip class if it's boring, right? It's the results that count..

Good, already 1 step ahead of the rest of the students ;)

If you stay with computing you NEVER leave school. 13 years since uni and I SILL have to sit exams

Perhaps you jumped the gun on forever?

Perhaps not. In the UK (and I presume Ireland too) "school" ends at the end of high school (usually somewhere between age 16 to 18). Any further or higher education after that is conducted at a college or university, not a school. Therefore the statement that "I just finished school today... forever!" is accurate given the cultural context of the writer.
