I'd like to know the name of these colleges that are like that...to narrow my search a bit.. Anyway, there really shouldn't be a reason to go to college...People should just be allowed to get a job at what they are good at, and just leave it at that...in this country it is almost a requirement to go to college pretty much. I am going to miss being a kid...

ALL colleges are liike that. And they always clean things out, so you dont have to worry about unusual surprises...

Um, ew.

Well, this summer looks like mostly work for me. My siblings are going to be home, and my mom's taking extra hours at work, so it's just basically more of the same old stuff. Halfway through the summer I will be laid-off, the place I work does it every year to the part timers. They did it back when I worked 2000/2001 there, they'll do it again this year. Hopefully.

By then, I'll have enough saved to slide through the rest of the summer and register for fall classes (seriously, I'm actually gonna do it this time.)

Did you know that in the Hulk movie, the one that originally played TIH is going to make a cameo appearance?
Huh, I did not know that. Thanks for the info. Stan Lee will likley make a cameo appearance as well. He's in just about every other recent Marvel comics movie.

College was great for me. I really enjoyed what I was studying. I did not want to pass up my college career. It is suppose to be the best 4 years of your life.

I'm gonna be working for college money. news flash for people here that haven't started looking... ITS EXPENSIVE! .

I also have to take summer school to tie up some loose credits from this school year so I can get my diploma.

Then i have GenCon in July, which i still haven't saved for ( ^_^*)...

Not to mention the weekly tournaments at the card store i have to run.

But it should be fun. my first job, being done (for a while) with school, lots of card games and videogames to play...

I voted the first option, but more for the reason that I need to get my car insured...

Plus I'm wanting the build my new computer (which, if things go right, the parts in total might not total more than 500 bucks )

If you don't go to college, you better work damn hard to pay for insurance and bills. That crap drains you're pockets.

*lol* My feelings EXACTLY!

Of course, I'm prolly the only one here who works full time and goes to college part time, at the same time. Thus, summer and winter break only means "Yay! I can finally work on art stuffs and fanfiction that I WANT to do!" It does get depressing just how much freetime my night classes take up.

I soo much miss the free time. Or even the years when I used to be a kid, or when I was back in college even! Fortuantely, I was in the dorms for two years (then rented out an aprtment the last two years). I guess I SHOULD be blessed I hadn't experinced the utter horror of sloppy ass dorm rooms. Wee... *lol*

I think I will take the stinkin-est horse stalls with sawdust that have turned into a pungent wet slop after a long holiday weekend of no-one cleaning them out, than deal with a thrashed "human stall".

Yeah, my college was one that specialized in equine and pre-vet majors. So when we left on the long weekends, with not many around to clean all the stalls, they just let them go until we got back. They would just dump extra sawdust in there to make it last too. But that was pretty much how I spent my summers in away from college.

I worked at a camp counselor at a horse back riding camp. Those were defiantley a few of the best years, spending the whole time out in the woods, cooking by the fire, putting up with whiney girls freaking over spiders, and riding horses. *sai*

Oh.. but I also love my job now. Xerox awarded me an all expenses paid vacation for hubby and I to South Beach, FL. That's where I'll be next weekend... ahhhh...

Heh... Summer used to be fun. Then things like taxes, work, and school became important issues. I'll be working this summer, so I'll have some money when I move into an apartment next school year.

Ahh.. good, the chance to up our post counts while Machias is gone! *ducks bap*

Aww... you still don't have the means to be online at home again? Man, I guess that means we'll be missing out on your Splinter mush fests each week after each new episode.
