End of the semester blues

*Kameko* · 12-05-2002, 02:38 PM

Anyone else ready to quit school or change majors?

Deepflame · 12-05-2002, 02:49 PM

I don't mind going to school. The only things I dont like about it 'tis my french teacher and the so called "food"

*Kameko* · 12-05-2002, 03:01 PM

Finals are EVIL..... and so are programming courses.

Deepflame · 12-05-2002, 03:02 PM

Wha...?

*Kameko* · 12-05-2002, 03:07 PM

I have a programming course that I just failed. I was a straight-a student, once upon a time. I guess I got lazy.

*kyabetsu* · 12-05-2002, 03:11 PM

lol

college?
i've tried two of 'em... LIFE got in the way.

i went back recently to try to finish but YES, i've changed majors, Schools, and life plans so many times my head spins.

three years of Environmental Engineering then <<WHUMP>>
one year Biology ....
with an eye to head to Veterinary school .... i hope...

eternally befuddled.

i feel your pain.

Deepflame · 12-05-2002, 03:13 PM

I'd say something...

*Kameko* · 12-05-2002, 03:24 PM

I just hope Mom doesn't totally flip out about it. I plan to re-take the class with the woman who sits next to me (who also failed, and she TRIED) and make at least a B. Apparently, when you re-take a flunked course, the passing grade replaces the flunk. Gotta remember to tell mom that.

FreshRazz · 12-05-2002, 09:12 PM

Skool doesn't bother me, allthough the teachers their think i'm some sorta 'rebel' all i did was to tell every teacher in the office to **** off i mean come on they acused me of some wak **** i never commited, oh yeah and that time i threw a chair at a teacher. he pissed me off, some teachers on the other hand look up to me and have huge respect for me but on the otha hand some (only few) don't seem to like me...

FreshRazz · 12-05-2002, 09:17 PM

Maybe just maybe Iam a bit of a rebel but... I dunno I don't think I'm as crazy as some of them other kids...

**Kali** · 12-05-2002, 10:30 PM

My main problem with school is that I always got so damn BORED! I'd always finish my work early and then be left with nothing. I tried doing the advanced classes thing, but that didn't quite work either. But, that was high school.

Hopefully college will be a bit more interesting and challenging.

*Skeletoncrew* · 12-06-2002, 12:41 AM

I'd like to go back to school. Yeah, college isn't easy, but its a lot more interesting than high school was. I miss it. Of course, I could never make up my mind on what I wanted to do with my education.

**Machias Banshee** · 12-06-2002, 08:30 AM

I shouldnt start posting tis, cuz i know if i do, its gonna turn into like, ten pages...

heh, well, second year of College has been quite vacuumous...It started off with getting a surprise manic-depressed on the verge of institutionalization crack/potwhore of a roommate. Dont even go there....

Well, she eventually moved out. I guess she didnt want a roomie who didnt drink and do pot....

So, she moved in with another cheerleader, and i got my lovely single, which i am STILL trying to reorganize.

Classes....ugh...Chemistry, Intro to Marine Biology....not good at all....I cant seem to stay awake in them...I've drunk as much coffee and soda as i can, But caffeine dont work for me no more!!!!

Its gotten AWful...cant keep my head up for a friggin hour, and i'm crashing miserably...

Then the psycho obsessed freshman suddenly appears. Constantly talking to me for hours on end about the SAME THREE THINGS...sex (cuz he's a virgin

, his academic career (scedule, past, present and future plans) and his hopes of transferring to a school back in NY. He's come into my room and talked for over & hours straight at ONE sitting!

THEN I find out that he's been talking to MY ACADEMIC ADVISOR about MY ACEDEMIC ISSUES! Do you know how offending that is?! HE had said that he'd only mentioned me once in passing, but then my advisor tells me (who's also my Mar. Bio teacher), that he's been talking about me A LOT...a REAL LOT....and says that he's concerned about me....REALLLY Concerned...! I've been taliing to my friends and family, and all agree with me that i officially was being stalked.

"Go tell the oficials!" You say....well--I couldnt...you see, despite my 'personality' on here or in the RPGs, I'm so incredibly shy about stuff like that...I'm too nice, as Many people have told me...I just didnt have the heart to tell him to leave me the hell alone.

SO, my friends helped me out with that. heh, pretty much what happened was, One friend took me to his room, while the other two cornered him in MY room, and bitched him out for half an hour straight...

I was SCARED to go back. I didnt know what was going to be said...well, he apologized, and now he doesnt really stop by here as much as he did, much to my relief...now he goes and bugs other people...

Okay, here's my last bit....Changing Majors...As many people here and elsewhere have said, I am not suited for science. My friends, my Advisor, everyone...thing was, My parents were against me going for the 'starving artist' majors....Fine arts, acting all that smut.

Well, my writing teacher has absolutely adored me since i had first come to his composition class first semester first year...ive had him for all my writing classes, and he's constantly hinting at what my major is and if i've ever considered trying a hand at writing.
Heh, my art from here has certainly blown some people away. I never thought i was any super good...who knows. Unfortunately, my parents only react as "Groan/sigh/moan, more Ninja turtle stuff...."

Well, you gotta start somewhere, right? I thought so...

So, i've officially decided that i"m going to change majors. Heh, problem is, i'm very indecisive about where to go. I've got my choices, for majors, minors, whatever....: Biology (which i dont think I'll be doing), Fine Arts, English, Writing, and Elementary Education. Heh, so, if anyone here happens to be any of those, Please can we talk? *gets on her knees and begs* I'd really appreciate it....

*looks at what she's typed* Holy toledo...yeah, I knew that would happen. Well, now you know my issues, not to mention the fact that i've got so much friggin work to do i'm ready to tear all my hair out....

*sigh* I feel a lil better now....

*Mike comes up from behind, and gives her a hug*

Ahhh.....

**HorseTechie** · 12-06-2002, 08:44 AM

Hah.. it must not bother me now, cause I'm crazy enough to get a Masters in New Media, all the while working full time.

My undergrad experience was okay... especially since I picked a ratehr unusal major in equine scinece and management. (aka everything you wanted to know about horses, because your parents never gave you one of your own)

Jr High and Highschool... bleh! So glad that stretch of misery was over!

**azure turtle** · 12-09-2002, 12:06 AM

Heh... I'm not giving up school, but I'm definitely switching majors. Gonna go to Biology with a minor in English.
