It’s late April, high school students should be getting word back about college soon, undergrads should be finding summer jobs and/or grad schools, and grad students might be moving on, too. So, to be able to <small><strike>stalk</strike></small> keep track of what our lovely little community’s up to, what are everyone’s plans for the coming summer and fall?
In mid-August I myself am moving down to Florida for grad school in Classics in Gainesville. I still need a job from late-May to then, and I need to buy a car and secure an apartment to move into. That’s about it. I think my WoW kick is wearing off, so I should be able to finish the end-of-the-semester work I’ve been putting off for a couple months now.
I’ll be staying in Columbus over the summer. Hopefully I’ll get a job to go along with the summer classess I’m taking. Next semster it’s just more school, and hopefully I’ll be able to hold onto the job I got over the summer into the fall. Columbus really doesn’t have any good jobs
I’m going home to Opelika/Auburn. Probably got a job at Electronics Boutique or a Gamestop coming up, they said they were hiring around the time I get to come home. If not, jobbing it at a Dollar Store/Freds. No food places, I can NOT work with food. Tried it, and failed.
Let’s see…I’m working most of the summer, and going to Vermont at the end of July. Other than that, I’m just going to be taking classes all fall, praying to the God of Majors that the stupid school finally gets its act together and stops making me retake classes I got A’s in.
In May and June I’ll be in France, and a few other countries in Europe. The rest of summer I plan on getting a job, lazing around, doing regular stuff. I plan on returning to my Fine Arts program in the fall. I kind of miss school already and I’ve only been off for a week!! hah!! Good thing I get to go there tomorrow.
The day after tomorrow I am going to pay for and get the keys to my new apartment (in the city where Weiila lives) and in the beginning of June, when school’s done, I move in. In between there will be a time of renovations.
The summer will be spent taking a course that sounds very non-serious, just for something to do, and cursing the heat (shut up, 22’C is hot in Sweden =P).
Come autumn, I’ll just keep studying. I’m not even sure what it is I have applied for, but we’ll see. =P
Let’s see… I’m going to have to take PHY 303 for three weeks over the summer(because all non-Bachelors of Science are required an upper level science course which deals mostly in expository writing). “Cultural Diversity in Science: This course outlines the cultural contributions to science of various cultures and civilizations from antiquity to the late medieval period.” That’ll be fun. Having a full three credit course condensed to three weeks every single weekday for two hours and fourty five minutes will be somewhat… grueling. I can handle it.
I’m also going to take another summer course although I’m not sure what quite yet. I’m currently registered for Philosophy of Religion, but I think that I should probably repeat one of the courses that I did not do so well in when I first started college. They like that. Also, Philosophy of Religion is an online course. shudder
My fall courses are all core requirments. I’m taking EWA 307 (Creative Writing: Drama), ENG 204 (Writing About Literature… long overdue, but I couldn’t get into a section until now --), EWA 300 (Living Writers Series), and EWA 306 (Creative Writing: Fiction). I COULD also take Metaphysics and Ancient/Modern History of Philosophy and gain a philosophy minor but I’m not sure if I could handle the workload of five courses at once (let alone five courses with extensive writing). Then during the spring I have to take Literary Criticism (;;), Fiction/Drama Seminar (whichever I choose), and two upper level English Literature classes of my choice. At least I get choice then.
Also, does getting a minor MEAN anything at all? Just curious.
Sorry… what else am I doing this summer? I’m probably going to some car show with my girlfriend. Oh, boy. Cars. Yay. I might go camping in Canada, too.
Oh, yeah. Working my ass off for a company that could care less. That, too.
As, I’ll be graduating with my “Advanced Studies Certificate” (it’s not quite a Masters degree, but it is graduate level work) in Health Informatics, I hope the company I work at now will have a full-time opening when I reach my six month point there in June. I’m hoping to find a job in Medical Records or Medical Billing. I’ll finally apply for a driving program too.
I’m waiting for a word from a zoo/amusement park about whether or not I get to work there as a “park hostess” in the summer. I don’t have too high hopes, but I made it to an interview at least. Either way, I’m staying in my new hometown for the summer either with work or summer courses. Goddamn, I’ve been moved out for three years in sum, and I have yet to spend a summer out of the parents’ house.
And I’m NOT going back to the [baleeted] info booth another year, either way. HOOHA!
In the autumn, I’ll take up literature studies again instead of English. I’m aiming for a master’s degree(?) in literature, which would let me teach it at college.
Once autumn rolls around, I’ll be moving in with three mates at Uni. Ready to start my second year. It should be interesting since they are all computer scientists. So I know where I’m going if my computer breaks.
I dunno about you, but I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing cut off jean shorts and sporting a mullet. Seriously. There’s low class, then there’s the Florida Gators.
I guess for the summer I’m going to keep doing what I’ve been doing for the past 6 months (delivering pizza), then maybe in the fall I’ll be going back to Duquesne to pick up my sophmore year of college.
Try to find a job somewhere around ehre that mainly involves pots of manual labor, then come August, see if I can enroll in some carpentry classes at FLCC.
