I am currently entering my second year, and hope to be accepted into the Biotechnology Program - if not I will still take the necessary courses and then try and get accepted again next year.
So I guess I will just say Biotechnology :).

And I'll be the third. I have a BS in physics. Also I'm a couple classes short of a chemistry degree, and a few meters short of the runway.

General Education (on summer break).
Most currently, the hole in my sock.

Mostly I study cooking. And game strategies. I like languages as well, mostly machine ones because they tend to obey better than humans... well most of the time. Isn't studying what we all spend our entire life on anyway ? Well, you see, physics geeks are normal people after all

I am in my last year of engineering science, which means I study physics, chemistry, math, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering.
Though for grad school I am undecided between chemical, mechanical, biomedical, and electrical engineering, materials science, physics, and med school.
So I get around

The nice thing is that even after your formal studies are finished you never stop learning.Without the constaints of a syllabus to follow you can concentrate on just the things that interest you.

You forgot about the constraint of a job, and you know... life. For most people, a steady can lead to good things. But if you're all over the place, good luck studying.
I'm in graduate school for mathematics (number theory).

True JasonRox but many people find that they have more leisure time after formal studies are finished.

Second year Electrical Engineering Student - although I've split up the four-year curriculum into five so I can take extra courses. I intend to get my masters in Environmental Engineering with a focus in water/wastewater systems.
This semester I'm taking:
Differential Equations
Thermodynamics
Java Programming
3D Animation w/C4D

I am pitiful compared to you guys.
My major is Physical Education. I am going to double major in History to get a better chance of getting a teaching job.
However, I have big interests in Physics and especially Philosophy. Been reading about Nietzsche, Russell, Sartre, Hume, and many others for years now.
At the moment, I am reading Origins by Neil Tyson and Donald Goldsmith.
How lame is my major?

I study experimental high energy astrophysics. Until I come up with a thesis topic, that's about as specific as I can get.
