I'll be starting my fourth and final year of my undergrad in September. :) The notion of being so close to the end terrifies me. I hope the next eight months drag.

After, I'll be pursuing my MA or MFA. Egads.

Third and final year of my BA. My dissertation scares me. 20 minute recital that sums up three years work. Aaaah!!

Also considering the MA option... Or if all else fails, PGCE.

Third and final year of a combined honours Classical Civilisations / Creative Writing BA.

I'm slightly dreading my 2 dissertations. Classics wants an 8,000 word essay off of me and Creative Writing want the opening 3 chapters of a novel (at an average of 5,000 words a chapter) and a detailed scene-by-scene synopsis of the remainder of the book. On top of this, I also need to adequately pass Ancient Greek Religion and Writing Song Lyrics. September 27th = the end of the my life.

I'm done with all that shit. That's why I work for minimum wage.

...Or I would, if anyone would hire me.

Livin' the dream. :cool2:

I am a Sophomore in High School, as well. I have to march Tenor Sax for band, and play Guitar for Jazz Band. They would not let me drop either, so I can't take Web Design I and Creative Writing like I was planning to DX

Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior are just fancy names for 'First Year' 'Second Year' and so on.

I'm going to Ylivieskan Kansalaisopisto. It's a voluntary school for every age. I used to teach Japanese there, but this time I'm just a student.

Finished Community College. Waiting for the Diploma I stupidly forgot to get approved. Know that I'm not college material after my time there. Just trying to find a job now. Stupid current economy...

It's nearly been two years since I graduated from my three year Uni course. Christ, I sound old when I say it like that. Fortunately, I'll soon be rich and famous, making age inconsequential.

Going into what's supposed to be my last year of college, but I'm a little short on credits so it may not actually be.

I'm actually kind of happy about that...

Started my third year of uni last week (two down, three to go) on a Music Ed degree.

Deadwood, trust me, it's worth it. Web design will change in five to ten years, so that class will be worthless; any English class worth taking has a writing portion to it. Music's the way to go.

The English I have is all about public speaking, and hates writing(which is ironic, dontcha think?). All the English courses at the High School involve book reports, and Shakespeare- but don't get me wrong, I love Shakespeare, but I want to learn how to improve on expressing myself literaturely.

Got my last year of high school, now I have to apply for college. Oh, and I play french horn in the band, happily, I don't march so I have extra time. Say yay for a class on Lord of the Rings

Take a fucking basic grammar course instead.

We don't have any. Ima trying to do the best we can, but I live in Nevada(which is poor enough in education to begin with), in one of the poorer counties too. Funding is very poor here. The band had to pay for our own uniforms out-of-pocket and through fundraising since we have no money from the state. One day Ima get out of this shithole...

Don't go back to ma school until the 13th. Crap, that's less then two weeks away! Where did the time go? I've been on holiday since June 17th.

I'll be starting my first of two years at Sixth-Form, which is like college, except not.

I have a very messed up schedule this semester, I hate having certain days off 'cause then I'm compelled to stay up late and when I go to class the next day, I feel crappy.

IE: M W F or T R classes with nothing in between

1st September 2010, 11:54 AM
I love random days off! My schedule is pretty bitchin', I gotta say. Twelve hours of class a week, Fridays off, one hour of class on Thursdays, only one night class... my Mondays start at 10:30, my Tuesdays at 2:30, Wednesdays at 11:30 and Thursdays at 2:30...

And, y'know, I'm still gonna whine about not having enough time to do things. ;)

Although, I will have my thesis work to do on top everything, not to mention my work study... balls. D:

HOLY SHIZ NIZZ! I MADE THE PAPER FOR BEING IN THE BAND!

No, seriously. The picture for our high school band is of me and my friend, playing our Tenors. Which is weird, now that I think of it, since we play Guitar/Bass together in Jazz Band, and used to jam back when our group was together too lol
