Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Well, first semester of the year is over.

How has everybody done?

I am in the Physical Therapist Assistant Program and that shit was ROUGH first semester. I passed though and am ecstatic to have a break.

Oh but guess what? Our teacher assigned us 6 chapters of homework to have completed by the first day of 2nd semester!

What a Christmas present huh?

Call me Barrack "D" Obama. I got elected as my class/Organization President! I know, I know, What the fuck were they thinking right? :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

Almost done for the semester. Only one more to go at the University of Maryland.

Sucks, so ready to be done.

When I was 11 my head teacher told the rest of my class she was sorry I was coming back (from another city), when I was 16 the new head teacher told me I was a despicable person, and that she didn't like me. Then I dropped out of college 3 times.

I think they really don't like their authority being questioned, especially if it's an A-student.

I'm only taking one course per semester since that's all I have time for... there's nothing like that feeling of finishing final exams and heading into a break!  It's even better if you finish strong on finals, I always find it tough to stay focused near the end.

I'm getting A's in all my classes.

i'm trying to write my final work... dissertation or thesis, whatever it will be called. so hard tho. If i were only half as dedicated as i am to other stuff (like reading htgth hehehehe)

Started uni in September. 'Tis alright so far. We don't get exams at the end of this first semester but I do have like 3 essays/reports to do over the Christmas holiday. Woo.

I finally graduated three weeks ago, M.Sc. @ computer science. Still trying to get used to working full time... The student life was way much more fun, even if there was less money around :)

we dont get out till the 19th . its goin decetn though. I fucked up real bad last year by nto goin though so i have 4 grade 10 classes.. music,french,science and social studies..which is basically geography and study of acient people n stuff we dotn do specific shit or get to pick our classes here until gr 11 .

I was in french immersion for 8 years and I have grade 10 core french  :hihi: its ridiculously easy . I never failed gr 10 music,ive never took it before but i had to do one of the gr 10 classes ( music,gym,broad based technology or art .. i had bbt n got switched to music ) I dont have sciense or ss till next term.

my favorite class this term was gr 11 spanish :D . its probably basic to americans but we dont get to learn it here in nb , Canada until gr 11 . definatly going to continue with that after high school. its more fun than french or english .

my classes are

spanish
geometry
gr 10 music
english
gr 10 french

lookin forward to xmas break  :) hope its goin well for everyone else  :beer:

I am definitely going to enjoy a few weeks before getting back to studying and practicing.

I start clinicals in January which will be nerve racking at first. U have to give a speech etc to the people at the hospital *which I should be fine* just gonna be honest and try to throw some humor in.

For the whole semester I will have two classes, one lab and then that clinical. The clinical is from 8:30 to 4:30  so it will be like a long day of work which will be cool cause I will get to actually perform the job.

whats everyone studying to be?

This conversation feels like the typical ice-breaker at a party.  :hihi:

I just finished for the year. I was a year 10 (which is 9th grade), and next year i will have to start major exams. Not looking foward to that  :(

This year was pretty good though, I'm just glad it's over

Nah HAHA I would never bring up something like this at a party.

just interested how everybody else deals with the stress.

Hey D, have you joined the diving team yet?  (for the young'ns out there, that's a Dangerfield reference)
Keep working hard.  Never let your guard down...I'm trying to remember Axl's words of encouragement to the guy who was thinking of pursuing a music career.  Something about never compromising...I fucking love it!
Cheers to Dexter! :beer:

Well, I'm still disputing a class they say I took. I filed an appeal lol, but if my appeal fails I'll pay it and go back next month in January.

3rd Year of my Sports Studies Degree and its a breeze, as far as doing a Degree goes.  Bit of a step down from my failed attempt at Law, but since I'm either in the Gym or at my Martial Arts club its the right ballpark...ish.

just finished my first semester at chalmers university of techology, sweden. studying civil engineering btw 8)

I finished college 3 years ago this week.

Huge waste of time.

Im a sophmore in high school i didnt do so good right now im depresed about a lot of stuff just bout things that have happened in the past 3 years i just dont know what to do

Finished up my college semester at ST. Joes and I did pretty good grade wise. So glad i get about a month and a half off though  : ok:

Studying media and communication in Satakunta University of Applied Sciences.. in Finland. Hope to graduate in 4 years :P

2nd semester has started back.

Clinical orientation is Tuesday. I am nervous as hell but it will be fine once I get over the initial awkwardness of meeting new people and getting into a routine. U are always afraid of making a big goof or looking like a retard. So once I get comfortable It will be cool.

This semester is definitely gonna be rough. We got our Syllabus and our list of assignments and I am gonna be busy as hell studying and doing reports.


Also, as the President, I have to think of Fundraisers and organize various other charitable stuff, so that is also gonna be time consuming.

oh well.... after this semester, the rest will be a lot more easy and a lot less stressful.


how is everyone doing 2nd semester?

It's only a huge waste of time if you study something that gives you no real job skills.  It always makes me laugh when people make weird major choices (not saying you did) and then complain when that degree doesn't help them get a job. 

If you want specific skills, go into accounting or engineering, or do graduate work in Law or Medicine.  Believe me, those fields pay off when you get to the job market.

i got two friends who both have Bachelor's Degrees

one graduated from University of Tennessee the other University of Xavier


the one that graduated UT works for a phone place that anyone with a High school Diploma can

and the other works as a front desk clerk in a Hotel...........


I feel bad for them that they went that long and spent all that money and effort to have jobs a high school graduate does.

Classes for me start up again next monday. All the good ones were taken when it was my turn to pick, so I got stuck with two posc classes and american government among others. That shit doesn't do me any good considering what my major is.

A cookie for you.

Does that make a man less of a man?

Class started 2 weeks ago.  I'm already 2 weeks behind.   :rant:

Thanks.

not at all, but if u are going to go 4 to 5 years of college, drop close to 100k, u should at least be rewarded with a high paying career.

If they were gonna do those jobs, they could've saved a lot of time and money. Just sucks to bust your ass for that many years for nothing.


that is why when i went back, I made sure I got into a medical profession. Once u get a degree in that, u never have to worry about being unemployed and u make back tons on your investment.

There are always sick people in this world....

Fucking sick people.

LOSERS!

yea, damn sick people. why can't they be more like bruce willis. like that movie unbreakable where he never got hurt. :rofl:
