[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

You can't force me to go into that place! AHhhh I'm going to go crazy and hit you with my new bookbag! *WHAPSH*

:scared:

[leftist_rebel1569]

1. It's okay...

now, put the bag down and just...calm down. I remember I was like that yesterday...

Oh hell, who am I kidding? I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK EITHER! SOMEONE SAVE ME! (crying)

Edit: School sucks...

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

2. wahhh

Where'd did my summer gooooo?! ;(

[leftist_rebel1569]

7. I dunno...

I just want it to come back...

:grouphug:

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

16. Fine

[goobergunch]

21. Then I guess I'm the yellow one... (n/t)

[leftist_rebel1569]

23. that'll be fine...

[JohnKleeb]

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

28. We just need somebody to be the pink one!

:)

[Breezy du Nord]

36. Me!

breezy-->:grouphug:

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

43. yeah!

woohoo! :D

[ulysses]

13. look at it this way

When you start working, you get to start counting the days until you retire. Or die, whichever comes first.

:evilgrin:

Enjoy!

[greatauntoftriplets]

17. I was thinking along similar lines, Uly.

And then there is that measly 2 - 3 weeks vacation that our corporate masters bestow on us. And that we are lucky to be able to use.

[ulysses]

26. we have the world's greatest standard of living

so stop saying that!

;-)

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

18. SHAME ON YOU ULY

YOU AREN'T HELPING!!! :D

[ulysses]

25. you can always teach

(but then you get to find a temporary job during the summer...)

:shrug:

[leftist_rebel1569]

24. (sigh)

my faith in a happy, somewhat lazy life diminishes by the minute...

[bicentennial_baby]

3. You sound like me!

Tommorrow, 11 am, the 2nd year of my college career commences...ugh.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

4. at least you are not a junior in HS!

:scared:

This is like, my most jam packed year ever! :(

[bicentennial_baby]

8. Yep

I went to prep school, and junior year was the most hardcore of all. Study!

[Rhiannon12866]

55. I certainly can identify with that

Junior year, CG #315. Watching my roommate string beads. Cheese strata. I was on ``tins'' for dummy. Algebra II. Miss Johnson who still wore stockings with seams down the back. I kid you not. I always wondered where in the world she found them! Math was not my strong suit and, to make matters worse, I had an allergic reaction to the penicillin the incompetent doctor there was giving me for tonsillitis. It was very bad because he first diagnosed it as measles and kept me on the penicillin, against the advice of his nurse. I spent exam week in the Betsy Moody Infirmary, covered with a horrible, itchy rash. Memories...:-)

[Kamika]

5. Just wait till you work

I know you dont believe me.. but youre gonna miss that place

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

6. hehe

:scared:
no I won't, because when I have a job I'm going to make sure i'm doing something I enjoy. Like not doing bogus math that I'll never have to know.

[Kamika]

14. I didnt mean it like that

I work now at 21.. and didnt go to college so i really miss my days at school now. Especially all my friends. And my great class.

Enjoy every second.. Because youll never have them again

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

19. ah

I'm going to college definitely. Everyone in my family has, both sides! :)

[arcane1]

12. yep, no summer breaks when you work!

unless you're a republican president :evilgrin:

[Astarho]

53. Work is like school

with the cliques and politics and complaining and personality conflicts and the authoritarian figures and so on.

Yet at the same time it's much much worse.

[Kamika]

56. I like work more

Even though i have to be here at ungodly hours it still beats school.. no homework, and you get money :D

[Fixated]

9. ....

At least you got a new book bag. I got a haircut and a pencil. Wait...fuck. The pencil's broken.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

10. lol

You're hilarious. Don't let that inflate your ego, though.

[goobergunch]

20. Is it a Sierra Club bookbag like mine?

:evilgrin:

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

22. No!

But it is a Jansport! So there. :D

[soleft]

29. Did any of you guys go to a tanning salon or get a bikini wax to go back

Did you read that article in the NY Times today that was posted in GD. I'm so glad my kid is a guy, all he needs is a pair of jeans, a tee shirt, hooded sweat shirt and he's good to go.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

30. I don't need to go to a tanning salon

I'm Italian... as for a wax- YEOOOWCH. :scared:

[LuLu550]

46. hey, I'm Italian, too

but I burn and never tan. :cry:

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

47. aw

:( I tan w/o trying. Although right now I have a shinguard tan from soccer, haha. It's just my knees and part of my thigh and shin! :)

[TSIAS]

31. I'm back at college

So glad to be out of high school. It's nice only having to be in class less than 12 hours a week.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

32. Hey

Just so you know I was the random person viewing your IM info. I have like three screen names so the ones you didn't know are probably mine. :)

[TSIAS]

33. I figured that GeorgeHarrison04 was you

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

34. yeah

Well I didn't have your sn before but I got it through Zack's profile.. it's kinda creepy how everyone knows who goes to which profiles. :crazy:

[TSIAS]

35. Yep

I can't resist clicking on profile views.

I love the Profile feature. I didn't know about it for a long time, so I kept trying to keep my profile under 1200 characters. I finally got around to updating mine. Trying to get where I fill up all the slots with quality material.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

39. I like yours

Especially the favorite DUers list! :)

[Syn_Dem]

37. psssh, quit complaining

I started August 26th

[TSIAS]

38. School starts very early in South Florida

Classes started at the local high schools on August 14. I remember when school used to start near the end of August. They keep on moving it forward every year.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

40. When did you end?

Probably earlier, see, it all evens out :)

[TSIAS]

41. Early June.

School lets out the first week of June here. I think it was June 2 last year.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

45. See it's all the same because...

the latest we're in until is June 21st.

[HEyHEY]

42. As I told leftrist rebel

Tomorrow at school find a good solid source of pot...lsd if you have geometry this semester.

Just joking don't do the drugs

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

44. LOL

I had geometry last year. This year it's called "Advanced Algebra/ Trigonometry" which is long for "Math I'm never ever going to use anyway in hell ever again".

[TSIAS]

48. LOL!

Most Math I never plan to use again. The SAT pretty much tests algebra, geometry, and very basic trig. I took Calculus my Senior year. What a monumental waste of time.

I've gotten by with very minimal math in college. I took the CLEP and got out of College Algebra. Last semester I took Math for Liberal Arts, which is basically Math without a lot of numbers. An emphasis is put more on mathematical theories.

I was always better than most at Math, but still hated it. I'm more of an English person.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

49. Me too...

English/History/Arts kind of person here. :)

I'm not bad at math (I got a 94 on my math A regents, which is the algebra and geometry state test required for graduation) but it takes me a lot more to do well in the class than English or any other class.

[JohnKleeb]

52. lol I'll be sure to be find LSD

;) kiddin

[Coffee Coyote]

50. go back where???

To the store??? :D

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

51. You got a new book bag?

Does it have Dusty Springfield's pic on it? :evilgrin:

[last_texas_dem]

54. Don't feel bad

I'm in college and was feeling the same way whenever I had to start back a week ago. I don't think most people ever feel like going back, but I guess we should smile 'cause these are supposed to be the best years of our lives, right? :-) I dunno...

BTW, I love the lyrics in your sig line! I once, just 'cause I'm a nerd, broke down and analyzed the lyrics to the song- "Flat Top" and determined that it was a protest song about the Republican takeover of Congress in '95! Actually, I was probably totally off, but I did know that John Rzeznik was a Democrat and felt like making the Goo Goo Dolls be political! haha

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

57. Haha you analyzed my signature song

That is so cool :hi: You may be right, actually. I don't know that Rzeznik has actually ever disclosed what specifically the song is about. :)

[GOPisEvil]

58. GET OVER IT!

When you get out of school, you get NO SUMMER OFF!!!! YOU WILL WORK ALL THE DAMNED TIME!!!! VACATION???? HA!!!!!!

Just get your ass to school and stop whining! :P

</Skittles>
