Yay! Someone else who gets out in June like me. Where do you go to school?

Are you two in quarter rather than semester systems? From what I've seen, most schools that use the former start and let out later, while the latter start and let out earlier.

As for my university, classes end next week, with finals the week after. However, being a graduate student, my soul belongs to the department just as much during the summer as it does during the regular school year.

Yea I'm on the quarter system at UCSD.

May 9th, last day of finals.
Then I get to waste 1500 goddamn dollars on a damn Jazz History class that will blow away 3 weeks of my life that I'll never get back. It satisfies a General Arts requirement and a US Cultures requirement at the same time, so it's kind of a good deal.
I really wish they could leave the fluff out of the degree, and let me get into that junk when I actually have a job that pays well. (I'm in college primarily for job training. If I was here for an "education," I'd probably study philosophy and theoretical physics. Not many jobs will pay you to just think about random things though, and I don't know what the pay of a theoretical physicist might be.)
I also took a Theater class to satisfy more GA requirements (6 credits needed). THAT was also a damn waste of time and money. It started to make me feel a little physically ill thinking about how much money each of those classes was costing me. It still does every time I think of how much college is costing.

What are you majoring in and what career do you look forward to?

Mechanical Engineering Technology. Career: Something that'll pay off my student loans and is at least marginally less brain-dead than a retail job. Thus far, engineering is proving to be just that - "marginally" less. It's a whole different kind of boring. At least it pays better.
