<div class="IPBDescription">ugh.. I hate classes :X</div>:/ It was a nice winter break. The roomate was gone, it was nice and quiet around here.... No classes, no homework, no projects, just go to work from 8-5 then relax for the rest of the evening...

But nooo... Can't have the nice life like that. Semester is starting again...

I gotta wade my way through waist-deep rivers of **** in a neverending farse of hypocrisy to get nothing more than a paper certificate...

    I can't wait to start classes again. I was tired of them too, but after a couple months of no classes and still being unemployed, I'm ready to head back to school for more punishment. I'm working on registering for next fall at Digipen to see if I can go there, since I'm already bored of non-acedemic life.

    Room-mates. I've never understood that. You just get some random guy shacked up in your room? That sucks.

    Sure the rooms at the colleges here are like glorified broom-closets, but at least we have privacy.

    you can choose a roommate or get a random roommate or you can choose a single room. Or you can become an RC or RA and get a double room to yourself.

    It can't be nearly as boring as High School is though, so you're better off than most of us.

    Yeah, while College still sucks big time its definately leaps and bounds better than High School.

    But on the other hand, you high school nubs can't go griping more than us because we paid our dues already. :P

    Not to mention that you PAY to go to college. Its not free. And no one is forcing you to go to college except THE HOPES AND DREAMS OF YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY BECAUSE YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE TO MAKE IT THIS FAR AND YOU HAVE TO BE THE ONE TO SUCCEED. GAH...

    *sigh* I'm still in elementry school (Grade 8) where overpaid teachers take your opinions and shove them up your ****. I am the OLNY PERSON in my school who understands technology, and was subsequently blamed for the SoBig email worm by my principal. I hate elementry school.

    Have I heard that one before? Oh yeah...

    My college won't start for a long time, first I have undergraduate tests: math, science, germany(oh god, why did I ever pick this one <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->), english, finnish etc. Then, after all the hellish reading for months, I'm being greeted with...another reading spree for entrance exams to get in to uni. Then, finally, summerholiday and I can relax for a WHOLE f**king MONTH(yay for me) after I join in serving my country in the army greens. Running around obstacle courses and forests for a year, GG. Then, I might actually start the joyfull college life(if I get in, that is). Which is probably going to suck even more than upper secondary school/sixth form.

    Classes started for me last monday...I had such a good winter break too...Skiing, drinking, doncing..working..

    Now I have a 10pg paper due friday, a Spanish exam next monday...sigh....


    Yeah DOOM, I feel ya. This is my 4th year of a five year program. Im going through the "Im so tired of tests and homework and classes that I want to get out of here so badly I have even contemplated dropping out just so I can make money" blues...but Ive gotten this far, so dropping out would be muy stupido.

    On a lighter note, I just reformated my computer because of a virus, I just lost 4 years of unimportant data so now my computer is back to being mid-level system of 2000......sigh

    What do you think I've been trying to do for the last few months? Right now my choices are:
    1: Keep looking for a job actually in my career field and run out of money.
    2: Take a crappy minimum wage job and wait keep looking for a job in my spare time.
    or 3: Go back to school, get a degree companies I want to work for actually respect, and get a good job, with a little debt involved.

    I kinda like school anyway if I have good classes to take that are actually interesting, so I'm trying for the 3rd option. Oh, and when I say back to school, I'm talking about another college degree, since I just finished my first. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> I have to agree with you that high school is an unbelievebly sad joke in most places.

    Since when does anybody still bother taking notes in college? Unless you're trying for a super elite school, I wouldn't worry too much. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
    (I could collect all my notes from my last 4 years of college onto about 6 pages maybe. I graduated with honors. No one I knew took notes either.)

    Doom,
    I would do anything to get back into College.
    I went to college right after my exams in OAC (grade 13) than started at Seneca College the same week. After a Year and a half I dropped out of my 3 year program. Now its IMPOSSIBLE to get back in, i'm stuck on a waiting list and I HATE it!
    But I have connections and hopefully I will be in this week!

    I would do anything to go back to school and get out of this F-ING Job!
