    lol I'm like that too. I worked for a couple of years after high school, and now when I see kids who DON'T do their homework I just don't get it. I think the reason is that they're fresh out of highschool and still in that frame of mind where your parents are there to make sure you do everything. I'm pretty sure you won't be the oldest one there either, I was looking at my school statistics last month and the average age for students is 27, with 9% of students over the age of 40. We had three students who were older than 80.

    Also, could someone explain to me what's so awesome about buying school supplies? My irl friends like it too, and they aren't even interested in school. I HATE that part. Stupid excess cardboard, and the scissors are IMPOSSIBLE to open (ironically, if I only had some scissors...), and all of the pencils are dull and you have to sharpen them, and all of the people at the store that you have to deal with... ugh, no thank you. Shopping for anything sucks.

    Semester finally done, I just took my project exam, the group project had been awarded a C, but in my defence today I managed to talk it to an A. And now... Summer vacation!

    Way to go, Chava!

    I am trying to complete yet another assignment; it is optional for a course I attended couple of weeks ago. Unless you complete the assignment, they do not give you a certificate so thought why not? But, as always, I'm wondering why I do such things...

    And next week I will be attending another course with similar framework. :-/

    I'm a few weeks into my summer class. So far it's not as difficult as I thought it would be, but the prof is a bit...sketchy. He doesn't always seem to know what he's talking about and twice he's unexpectedly canceled class. Actually the second time he didn't really cancel...he just didn't show up.

    Congratulations, Nightshade - I think quite a bit of dancing and singing would be well in order! And a little something bubbly to go with it!

    No summer classes for me thank goodness. This quarter was rather enjoyable but it just about killed me! I had been threatened to be kicked out because I was placed on academic probation (personal home life issues blah)...let's just say that gave me motivation enough.

    Final Score:

    Andean Archaeology: A
    Caribbean Culture and Society: A
    Islam and Iranian History: C

    Cannot tell you how proud I am of that stupid C! I'm bragging I know...but the professor completely gave me a hard time personally in that class. She told me I would have to do an amazing job on my term paper to pass her class. I must have done an amazing job. That woman had fun attacking me. Guess she doesn't like anthro majors.

    One more quarter left...one class left...and I'll have my BA!!!!! Wooot!!

    Sorry...I'm soo satisfied with my grades...you have no idea what a quarter it's been!

    You know, I don't like buying school supplies, but I look forward to purchasing the textbooks with an unhealthy excitement lol!

    It's a public speaking class, I'm not to crazy about it but it should be useful.

    I start back in three weeks and I don't want to wait that long!! I'm taking Agricultural Animal Physiology, Fundamentals of Nutrition, Genetics, Biophysics, and Calculus.
    I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
    Waiting for a winter to be done.
    Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
    In all that I could never overcome?
