Well i gather that by now most of us are back at work, school college or whatever after the christmas holidays. My first day back at work was today. Up at 6am to get the bus, then another bus, and finally into work.
I pretty much did nothing the whole day which usually means its gonna drag, but it actually went by pretty fast. Cant say im glad to be back, a few more days lying in bed til midday would be good but at least i can do some overtime and get some extra cash.
So what like was it for you people?:)

Oh yeah and all u people who had to work through xmas and new year ;o:tongue1:
 
Well, I'm a little afraid because as soon as January reaches its end the February exams will start. I've only done an exam once and I think they're really hard. I guess I just have to practice the subjects I'm not particularly good at and revise the ones I'm great at. I don't know how to do this but I musn't panic. I'll try my best and think of something. Maybe I'll study with my friends or something.
 
I was one of the unfortunate ones that worked the entire festive period. As it happens, i spent it all in the Irish Sea going between Liverpool and Islay, i don't think i have to tell you cold it was. Also, i'm still working. But in on week i'm on leave for a month, so HA!
 
Was stuck at work during everyone's festivities but was off of school which was great go back tomorrow *cry* guess my teachers enjoyed enough time without me arguing and questioning them all class so I guess now it's back to my second job of bugging all my professors.
 
I'm not due back at Uni until...beginning of Febuary. Got an exam on the 28th, but apart from that, nothing until Febuary. Then it's all gonna hit me. Pah, roll on end of May when I graduate..
 
It's fun being back, I'm finished with Keyskills ICT so that's opened up an empty slot on my timetable ^^

Although, I have an English Language exam on Friday, and a Law exam on Monday morning. So...Eeep. I'll be glad when they're over with though, as then everything will slow down a bit ^^ it's a little hectic and panicky at the moment.
 
Gah, back at college yesterday, didn't go in today though because I feel awful. More likely than not I'll be kicked back there tomorrow by parents-__-
 
I'm still currently out of job since I just moved back to California a few weeks ago, and I'm trying to settle ourselves here. Job hunting will have to wait until next week so I can see what my husband's school schedule is and work around that. I haven't started driving but will be getting my license soon, probably within the next month.

I'm also kinda late with registration for this semester, so I don't think I'll be going to school this sem like I had planned. I'm not sure if I'm relieved or disappointed or what, but maybe a little bit of both. It's been really tough and hectic last month and I'm sure this month will be no different.
 
Well, today was my first day back, and it didn't go to great. My English teacher has already assigned us a research paper, and my Chemistry teacher has about 5 tests already planned for next week D= On the bright side of things, I enjoyed seeing my friends again. I hadn't seen most of them since before the break.

Still, I feel really stressed and it's only been a day -__- I'm just going to just try and tough it out until Spring Break when things will finally start to slow down again.
 
To be back? I never left. =0

Holiday? What holiday? When most places shut down and send you home for the holidays, retail decides that's when you can't be away from work. It's such an annoying industry. Retail is the most feral job one can have in my opinion.

Disgusting customers who think they're top shit because 'the customer is always right' rule.

I myself never follow that rule if I'm being disrespected, which I found happened alot over Christmas. Too many miserable bogans deciding to take their anger out on us because they can't figure out how to make their lives any better and afford the presents they desire.

Hint: Stop spending your money on smokes, drugs and alcohol and start spending it on shoes.

But yeah that's how my 'holidays' went. Gotta love it. =P
 
As far as school not too thrilled too many assignments to make up for the 2 free weeks. Happy to have got one last game on the grid iron last nite before the season was up. So now just waiting til August for the 09 season baby!!!!
 
I actually dont like christmas since i dont even have family only the ones I see everyday so I might as well stay working jaja. The only part of christmas i like is staying home with my wife and girls and seeing them open up their presents.
 
Two days before I get back at my school,I get depressed and cannot sleep during those two nights.First day at school sucked because I lacked sleep and I was in my own world,didn't know what was happening around.Next day was the same until the weekend...
 
I've got another week before going back to uni, but over Christmas I worked a lot more than normal.
I'm quite looking forward to going back though, because I can't wait to get started on my next assignment and to carry on properly with another. I'll also give me something to do through the week instead of sitting around at home.
 
School ended for me awhile back.

But for when I do go back, imma little scared, because I have a feeling something bad is going to happen. D=
Things such as, I'll have bad teachers (aka mean teachers) I'll be in a class I hate with none of my friends. >_<
Because last year wasn't perfect but it was good enough for me.
So I guess I'll just wait and see what happens. D=
 
Friggin' hell, I've played FFVII too much; I saw the title of this thread and the first thing that came to mind was what Sephiroth said to Cloud in the Nibelhiem flashback :oy:

Anyways, I'm kind of peeved with how my semester is going to be. Instead of graduating with most, I'll end up having to do another semester, so there's more money gone. But what really pisses me off is that this whole semester I have only one single class every week, that's it -__-

Obviously, I'm gonna work more to pay for next semester, but that's what I got going for me now *sighs*
 
Well, looks like I made it on time for registration afterall! I went back to school today with my husband after almost 4 years of hiatus break. I'm just getting my general education out of the way for now and take some nonsense classes just to meet the gen ed requirements. I'm currently taking Fundamentals of Art and Beginner's Piano, which I wouldn't really say are "nonsense classes" since I genuinely would love to learn more about the subjects. =] Now I gotta buy a new keyboard (upright if possible) to do my practices daily.

The art class deals more with writing, researching, and recognizing slides, materials, history, artists, visiting museums, etc. which I was hoping would be more of a hands-on kind of thing, but that's okay. I wouldn't mind studying about the general background of art.

It feels rather weird to be back in school, but I'm loving it so far. xD It's Mondays and Wednesdays and only takes about 4 hours of my time, so I'm cool with that. I was originally going to find a full-time job, but now I'm going to have to resort to part-time. I wasn't really expecting to be back in school this soon.
 
I...have mixed feelings about being back. I don't want to be putting in the effort to work and get my grades, I don't want to be in an environment where I'm so stressed as a result of 1) so much incomplete work and 2) the pressures of 'looking ahead' to University, and I feel as though I'm just wasting my time. Being back also reminds me that I still have no idea if I even want to go to University, nevermind if I want to accept the offers I may or may not receive.

It's difficult not being able to imagine your future past the next 5 months. <_<
 
Don't go back till the end of Feb WOOT when the new Uni semester starts for us. Kind of enthusiastic to go back because it's my last year before I graduate from Uni, but at the same time not looking forward to all the assignments and exams >_____<
 
It feels shit, we've been back for two weeks and I'm already being bombarded with homework...I always find myself looking at when the next halfterm/end of term is the day we go back. I like college in the way that's a great way to socialize but the work...meh, I could live without. :wacky:
