1 down, 1 to go ...

[purbeast0]

Well I just took my first final at 8am today in Computer Vision class. I think I did okay on it, definitely passed the course probably with a B. Now I just have 1 more final that is tomorrow at 8am and I AM DONE WITH COLLEGE!!!

however tomorrow I HAVE to do well on the exam in order to graduate. and by well I mean atleast about an 80 or so because I bombed the previous exam bigtime. I am just glad my finals were on the first 2 days of finals starting because I will be done with school tomorrow and alot of people dont even start finals till tomorrow or saturday, and they run until next wednesday.

well wish me luck studyin! i think i'm gonna pull an all nighter cause it's at 8am tomorrow mornin, and i really have problems going to sleep earlier than 2am or 3am, and i have even MORE trouble sleeping if I know I have to get up early.

Why are you so excited? College was the best time I've ever had.

I wish I were back in college. Well, only if I didn't have to live off Ramen again.

My thoughts exactly. You should be really depressed, especially if your planning to sucome to work for Big Corporate America!

No I am VERY VERY happy! I do not like school and I honestly don't know if I would have gone if I wasn't kinda pressured by my parents and family. I just have never liked school. Don't get me wrong, I had great times in college ... but after 5 years I am just sick of it! I live off campus now and I only go to campus to go to classes, and sometimes lift weights. I go to Bally's sometimes instead of campus just because I'm sick the school. The gym on campus is like 100x nicer than bally's also. I hate going to the very dull 'college town' with weak bars and not much else to do.

I will be so relieved when its all over!!! And btw ... I go to UMD, University of Maryland College Park.

There's your problem. You're living off campus.

Indubitably. I wish I lived the college life (without the work) forever.

Living off-campus is like going to high school... work and home... nothing else... you have no "college experience". I recommend everyone dorm at least a year no matter how close you live so long as you can afford it.

I lived on campus for 4 years. After 4 years, you don't get housing guaranteed. Like I said ... I had some great times in college. I am just ready to move on

SO THE TRUTH FINALLY COMES OUT!


Eh, if I could go back to a point in my life, I'd go back to my freshman year in college. It was so much fun and I didnt mind the classes too much. There was this bar that would let you in if you had a college id (closed down for some reason though, i dont remember why), then after the bar, the entire floor would order bagels from an all night bagel delivery place... we had a feud with the second floor blokes (we were first floor). I had a girl that lived on the third floor for a while... played acey deucy in the rooms all hours, held weekly movie nights that ran till 4am...

Oh, I miss the days.

Of course, I'm married now, so there's pluses and minuses!

Did you go to UMD also? Cause there was a place there Terrapin Station, that closed down like 2 years before I went to college for letting in underage people. And i heard that they let anyone in with a college ID.

I don't hvae a job lined up or anything yet, but I currently have a job I have had at a grocery store for 8 years (I have had other jobs simultaneously w/this grocery store job), but I am not exactly sure. My brother's friend knows someone who works at Beth Softworks so that would be a cool place to start . He also has a friend who knows someone at this other game company that is located in D.C., but I have no clue what the company is. I am going to start looking hardcore after I am done w/college. I know I should have already started looking, but school and work kept me busy enough.

btw ... i'm comp sci major. I hope eventually to get into doing something with movies, like special effects or SOMETHING ...

yea freshman year in college was the best. actually the first semester was the best. getting to know/talking/flirting with all those hot chicks was the most fun part! i definately wish i could go back and relive that time for a month or so!!

Naw, I went to Marist starting in 1996... The bar was called Berties. I'm guessing that bars getting shut down for underage drinking is pretty common around Colleges.
