I really, really, REALLY don't want to go back to school tomorrow! Come on! Summer just started! And the kicker is, I'm going to be a Senior! Now, I have to catch a bad case of "Senior-itis"! Also, I'm going to have to ride the bus again! Well, so long reference books, hello textbooks! Soon, I'll be back in the daily humdrum of school life....Ah, well, such is life! Thanks for your time.

I dont go back till the 30th of the month. I feel lucky now. I still dont get why some places go back so early. Kinda ruins the point of summer vacation huh?.
Just out of curiousity, when did(do) you guys get out for summer vaca.

Bus what this bus stuff..... when I was your age, we either walked or rode the family mule......
5 miles up hill-- both ways!!!! , barefooted, rain, hale, sleet, snow..... Galoshes and rubber raincoats were invented for US!!!
Lunch was in a left over brown paper sack...... and lunch was usually left over from the night before...... !!!!

Have fun being a senior ---- AARP and the discount comes sooner than you think....... :-) :-)

We get out around the beginning of June, late May. The worst part, the State Fair is still going on, so I don't get to enjoy the last parts! Oh, well, I've had a great summer, it was just fast! I had a great vacation driving out to San Diego, which was AWESOME! We also hit the right time, as it was Las Vegas's 100th Anniversary, Disneyland's 50th Anniversary, and also, at the San Diego Aerospace Museum had a model show in one of its hangers, and then, they interviewed WWII Russian Women Aviators (The "Night Witches"). In fact, I had a book about the Soviet Air Force, which they signed! It was awesome! Thanks for your time.

MEBM (and others) I feel for you!
But hey: look on the bright side (as Monti Pyton would say): you'll see friends again and not to mention the one thing all can remember from their senior years as long as they live... the girls.

Now kick yourself in the @** and go to school. You'll need it to become a Navy subdriver!

Well being a recent 2005 grad, I can tell you how much I feel bad for you. But I can also tell you that I sat back my entire last year and did nothing and still passed with As and Bs.

Good luck though!

I left in 2004.

Don’t worry your senior year will go pretty fast.
And just think this will be your last fairs day back.

Here a little idea of intrest for our students:

A high grad will made $200.000 more than someone who got tired of school

A 2 year college grad will made $600.000 more then the same person.

A 4 year college grad will made $1,000.000.00 more then the same person.

Sorry i deal with the unemployment/employment side of the world everyday.

Funny, I too used to whine about the start of school. Now I whine about the fact that I don't have to go to school! I applied to the Helsinki university, but didn't make it. I guess I have to get a job or something.
Maybe that's also a good thing, I have to go to the army next January, and my studies would interrupt unpleasantly.

Btw, I have no intentions of staying there very long. I'll just what I'm told to, nothing more. Maybe they then let me go after six months. (the minimum service time, some people serve 12 months or even more). So, next year I won't be building much, but I'll still try to post here whenever I get online.
