Ahh its that time of the year again. I hadn't taken classes in 4 years and felt the need to go back. I love online classes but they are a bit stressful as there seems to be more "busy" and written work since there is no actual class time involved.

 

We have another xmas party to go to this weekend (this one is in NYC) and my one teacher posts the final today, due by Monday night. Its 7 essay questions. I know doesnt seem like much, but I need to finish xmas shopping, go to this party saturday night into sunday and finish 2 other finals for other classes. Just doesnt seem like enough time. If I didnt have a job I guess this wouldnt be a problem tho...It is what it is I guess..

 

Anyone else taking classes this semester??

dont post on the forums, leave the parties early, and do it? LOL

 

geez.. i feel so old saying that

well im at work now, cant do hw here..

 

staying the night in the city cant really leave early.

 

That leaves football sunday for homework YAY!

Ill def get errr done, was just wondering if anyone else was in the same boat.

 

I also feel old, when i go on campus i feel like im babysitting...

Hate to sound like a jerk, but sounds like you need to set your priorities. Complaining about doing hw on "football Sunday" isn't going to get much sympathy. 7 essay questions can be a lot, I don't envy the choices you have to make, but congrtatulations for chosing to further your education!

Oh it will get done, football or no football. I just wish the professor gave a little more advance notice of at least when it would be due. Not really complaining, like i said i was just wondering if anyone else was in last minute end of semester scramble mode....

I live in last minute mode. All semester long all the essays I had to write I started at around midnight the night before they were due. Strangely my next and last class is Friday and I can pretty much relax. No writings due Friday. Instead I have to do the writing in class Friday just gotta read the material before then.

That sucks. I myself never wait until last minute to start. Thats kind of why im worried here. I am usually one of the 1st people to submit stuff online, but in this situation we have less than a week to complete the final so i dont think i have a choice here...

You can go on gun forums at work but not online class?

 

I don't know what I would have done without my midnight shift at the steel mill.. "sit here until something happens" --- PERRRFECT for a college kid with 3 jobs and 21 credits :-D

 

I wrote soooo much stuff for college.. and also killed lots of hookers in Grand Theft auto..

 

I even got me a future wife there...

 

Why'd I ever quit that job?

lol nice. sounds like you should have stayed....

 

yeah i can surf the forums sometimes, but i wouldnt want to have a bunch of school books open while at work. I sell insurance and at times im on hold with an underwriter or something like that and i can surf the net while im doing that stuff. I really cant be doing a bunch of school work at the office...

ahh.. got ya..

 

i grew up and got a "real job" ... lolz

Good luck, glad I dropped out of college years ago to pursue a career in aviation.

 

 

A buddy posted that on FB the other day, brought back memories.

Just finished my degrees today, damn it feels good. I had to write a 30pg paper to pass my seminar class.

Handed in my last final paper today. Winter break until MLK Day in January. It feels real good. The bright side to a take-home written final is that you don't have to stress over studying. All the answers are there for you, you just have to find them and write about them.

Had one today, three left. One last semester and I get my degree...and buy myself a 1911

Have two 30+ pg papers due, one today, one a week from now. Three exams, 2 next Monday, 1 next Tuesday. Knocked out the papers two weekends ago, and already systematically broke down my studying time for the upcoming exams. My only concern is getting through the holidays to Jan so I can get to my winterland escape in CO!

Ahh an escape, I could use a vacation, havent been on one since last Aug (2010)....

already have a VT trip planned mid january!! oh i cant wait, spending a week up there.

I'm going to Chicago and St. Louis January 6th-9th for hockey, steak, and ribs. Just booked everything today. Can't wait to get away for a few days.

i would like to go to CA or HI, never been to either place....

Never been to Hawaii, but I hear it's overrated. California is gorgeous. All parts of it. The weather in San Diego is unreal, the coastal towns like Santa Barbara and Monterey are phenomenal, San Francisco is my second favorite city behind Chicago, and up north, near Napa Valley, you have picture perfect weather and scenery. The whole state is a win, as far as vacation is concerned.

 

Not to mention, everyone there is so much nicer and more laid back than they are here. I actually like that about NJ, but it's nice to escape it once in a while.

Ive got 3 more finals and I'm done for good. I thought I was one of only a few on the forum still in college. Anyone else from rutgers newark besides me?

I'm actually right across the street at NJIT.

 

2 more exams.

Hawaii is great and I would say it's not really over rated, but limited. Plenty of things to do, lot of fun to be had, but if I lived there I would probably be done with the novelty of the place in 6 months to a year, plus they don't like the 2A.

 

Now I highlighted the best part of what you said about Kali, great place, lots of fun, lived there, but I agree, better to visit and leave than stay, especially if your not originally from there.

Rutgers New Brunswick. Senior year. Good to see other people as young as me on here. I thought I might have been all alone.

Yea I'm done this semester 1 week to go. Seems like at rutgers newark everyone its anti gun. Only met 2 fellow gun owners since I've been there.

Had a Fluid Mechanics final yesterday, got done around 2. Headed home picked up my M&P and went to RTSP with a friend. Great way to finish up finals week. One more on Tuesday then this semester is done.
