Well, just took my last final for the semester. Freedom, horrible freedom *looks around* I'm scared. I am taking summer classes, but regardless, it feels nice

I remember those summer sessions oh too well. What a whirlwind of work!! No time to "ease" into the semester. Tests and papers due within the first week.

Kinda miss it....

Crap! I missed the whole scene. Wish I could do it(my youth) over and go to college. I'd LIKE to have to worry about finals. No, really!
Maybe someday.(sigh)

I love spring and summer sessions. Campus is quiet, and studying outside is terrific. In undergrad I took as many courses as I could in those times.

Of course, it means bigger student loans as summer pay is forgone.

I got my MBA in the traditional manner (no internet classes, no accelerated programs, etc.). I wanted to complete my studies early, so I loaded up with classes during the summer as well.

I too, liked the laid-back feeling, quiet campus, etc.

Wasn't doing much else with my time anyway, no girlfriend, living at home, so completing my education was a sensible way to fill up that unused time.

Funny how when you do complete college, that you can't seem to find that extra time in the evenings anymore?

I agree. I'm taking summer courses. However I'm taking a break from the Engineering/Math/Science scene. I'm just gonna take some liberal art classes to fulfill those extra requirements...

Yes I love the quiet campus. Especially going to BU (if you've been here you know what I mean), a quiet campus is weird

I remember after taking classes all summer, coming back felt weird.. there were people all over the place :p

I'll cut ya a deal. Next time my finals roll around, I'll be more than happy to let you take them. An examply of my final schedule. Last friday: Conflict Areas, followed by International Finance, followed by Globalization and the Environment. Yes, all three in a row, 2 hours each. Monday, 15 page single spaced paper due on The impact on an international scale of loss of biodiversity, loss of fisheries, POPs, desertification, and a slew of other environmental problems. Tues, one test in Empirical Political Research Methods. Wed, a 10 page single spaced study on how globalization can be linked to conflict. All fun and games. It's hellish, but I agree, something people should go through. It is deifnately a learning experience.

LOL
Yah, I'll trade ya for this POS project I've been working on for 5 months now, and still can't get the results we need. The boss dreamed this nightmare up, now I've gotta make it work He had this pipe dream it would all come together in a couple weeks. HA!
But it's all in the perspective. I'm sure going what you guys are dealing with is no cake walk. But hopefully the pay-off will be worth it for you. I'm just feeling sorry for myself that I didn't go to college so I could be the engineer designing these things, instead of the sap trying to make them. And I'd be making somewhere around twice what I'm making now.
Yah Eric, I do want to go, if I can ever figure out a way to still keep a roof over my head at the same time.

Summer is for classes you hate. I'd take 6 weeks of biochem over 16 anyday. Campus parking is always easier in the summer.
