Yesterday was the first day of classes here at my college, and hoo-boy am I stoked. I'm seeing everyone from last year, meeting a few new people, and learnig rocks.

How many of us CoNers are back in school? How do ya' like it?

--------------------

Get me off this Disciplinary Committee so I can play any FF except for FF8!!!

I'd probably still be in school right now if I hadn't withdrawn, but good luck and happy semesters to those that are!

Eh, I've started high school. A lot better than middle school, in my opinion. More freedoms. But, hey, good luck with college.

September 1st. i'm a sophomore, and everyone freaks out when they find out how old i am. they're all, "how can you be a sophomore when you're only 14?" it gets annoying after a while.

Well I am back in my final semster in college although I am not taking any classes and never have to go on campus. I am doing my student teaching so I get to spend my days waking up at 5:30 am, driving 45 mins. to the school I teach at, teach from 7:10 am (I got lucky I have a pre-school class to teach ) to 2:30, coach football from 3 to 6, get home around 7, work on lessons and grading papers for 2 hours, have a few beers and bite to eat and go to bed. The best part of it all, I DON'T GET A SINGLE DIME!!! As a matter of fact, I actually have to pay to do all this since it is considered college credit and it part of my tution.

I just went back last Friday and I enjoy school more than I did in the past. Probably because I have a job.

Or maybe my classes are getting cool (Cisco )

I'm going into 10th grade on the 8th, which is a week from now. I'm taking all the regular courses and I have no free periods. It's going to be very hectic this year, and I might not have any free time. In addition, none of my friends are in and of my classes. School is going to suck this year .

I've just started my first semester of my first year at Lyndon State... And so far, I really enjoy it far more than high school, if only my true friends were here than it'd be perfect but you can't have it all. Me and my friend here agree that it's like a vacation with minor work to do. It's great

Next tuesday I will be starting my softmore year in college....I hope it is a good one

But with six courses this semester...who knows

Things have not changed
You have changed

Henery David Thoreau

School is a long-lost memory for me. I used to miss the structure of it.... the exact and eternal, never-changing alarmclock setting..... the rigid, never yielding class schedule.... spending 9 months out of the year with your days broken up into nice little one-hour chunks of time.....

But then I graduated high school, and found a new interest. College. Gone was the rigidness that had defined my life for the last 13 years. Gone were the shackles of rank and file that had been forced upon me as my creed during my formative years.

Then, I graduated college.

Now, I get to enter the workforce. The eternal, never-changing alarmclock setting is back in fine form, though now instead of 7am, it's 6am. The schedule is gone, replaced by deadlines and frantic clients. The teachers are no more, but in their place are a group of HR lackeys and upper-management.... and, ah yes... the cubes of time are replaced with an actual cube. Which I sit in. All day.

Have a nice schoolyear, kids!

Well, classes start tomorrow. I've been here since Monday at UW Whitewater. Definitely a completely different experience. I don't even know what to do with all my time right now. Blah, I'm just kind of lost I guess. At least I already know my roommate. I feel like I should be doing something right now, like school stuff. I don't know. I forgot my alarm clock and crap. At least I'm only about an hour away from home.



--------------------

The clouds ran away, opened up the sky
And one by one I watched every constellation die
And there I was frozen, standing in my backyard
Face to face, eye to eye, staring at the last star
I should've known, walked all the way home
To find that she wasn't here, I'm still all alone

-Atmosphere "Always Coming Back Home to You"

Heh. I never realized how early school starts over here.
I go to the local CC, and have been there a few weeks. I graduated from HS last semester, but I took Dual Enrollment. College is much better than HS and HS+College.
I'm taking Calculus I, Communications I, and Intro to Computers.

I started classes up again on the 25th, but really I'm still in the same school year as before summer vacation.

I feel much more confident in the classroom since returning from vacation, both socially and linguistically, and am planning to take the JLPT this coming December.

It's kinda weird, but for the first time in 18yrs, I'm not going to attend school. I graduated from college last year, but I stayed on to keep my job there.

I found a better paying job, so I left.

How many of us CoNers are back in school?

I think the better question would be "How many of us CoNers are not going to school?"

This is the second year where the beginning of the school year has no effect on my schedule. It is so nice. I prefer working 54 hours a week (well for a little while at least). Bring on the fall! Good luck guys.

Starting my fifth and (hopefully) final year of college at UIC, which is going to be different for two reasons.
1. Second semester I'll be doing my student teaching, a little like BGrugby, except hopefully with 3rd graders, not preschoolers.
2. This is the first time in 8 years I won't have cross-country and track to fill my time. I ran out of eligibility, so now I'm just a regular student. I've been playing a lot of basketball lately (which I love) but I still kind of miss the structure of knowing you had something to do at 3:30 every day.

Dito Eternalsphere. I'm also going into grade 10, and I got exactly NONE of the classes I really wanted. I dunno if it can be worse than last year, with me tranferring schools halfway through september, having none of my friends in any of my classes, nearly failing everything and going through two breakups, but life's never failed to prove me wrong about all my assumptions. So I'm just clinging to my last fragments of summer.
