Title: Going back to school...
Post by: jdjtcagle on August 08, 2004, 11:17:22 am
Tommorrow is the day I go back to school...

I can't believe the summer is over and now that I got my permit (and eventually my liscense) I'll probably be running errands (sp?) for my parents and I'll have to get a job, I'll have very little time or summer ever again.

Bah, I'll still spend whatever time I do have here :D

I am eternally grateful to be out of the education system. Although Dartmoor is going to be a lot like Uni, at least you're learning important things like how to drive warships :D

this is my last full week of work before school starts on the 30th.  i may actually get some stuff done for people in the next week or two.  oddly enough, i may have more time to do FS related stuff while school is in session.

I'm in a similar situation as you, however:

1. Tech starts on Aug. 16 and High School starts on sept. 7
2. I need to get my license this week...which means i'll probably have to start running errands for my parents as well.
3. I'm gonna need to also get a job, which means I won't have as much time as before, and probably no summer either.

bleh... High School starts on the 16th here, but I've already been going to marching band practice for a week. Running around in 100+ degree heat while trying to play music at the same time isn't terribly fun :ick:
and before anyone asks I play the saxophone.

I'm not really sure when I go back to uni.  End of september I think.... and I'm not sure how I matriculate/register this year either - it was just done for you in first year...

I think it involves the post or something....

Hmm, I think the advisor of studies sends the matriculation form to you, which is nice.  I'll ask someone who pays more attention...

Well... when I was at uni *sniff*, we had 2 options.  1 was to pre-register at the end of the year - we'd just get the matric cards and whatnot send in the mail.  I think there was some malarky to do with quickly turning up to supply the fee details, though.  

2 was to receive the forms (i.e. course registration) in the mail and turn up and wait in a big (admittedly fast and efficient) queue to get the form stamped and the new matric card, during the registration week.

(This was Strathclyde, BTW)

Word of advice: If you consider yourself a 'gentleman' or courteous in any way, leave her alone. She most likely has a boyfriend back home or has already been hit on stupid by the ilk at your school. Either way, friendship routes are good ways into that.

If she's really cute though, and you have teh skillz, play on.

Bah! Ignore his drivel. ;)

Be sarcastic, pretend you don't care about her (sexually that is) and she'll fall for you.

It's that whole "ohh he doesn't care about my body, just personality" thing.

I just had my new uni docs in the mail. It sucks to read "11" as the semester number.

Apart from that : I'll have a fine summer, autumn, winter, spring and maybe some part of next summer to prepare for my exams. Great. :doubt:

Firstly: How would you know?

Secondly: If she's like Tiara, I doubt it was your brains that impressed her. I'd check your pockets to see if anything is missing.

Thirdly: "Ich spreche Englisch nicht" does not mean "I'd love to go for a coffee".

Firstly:  I would know because we've practically been really fond of each other and just yesterday we spoke on the phone about the future "us"  :D  
Today was the day we started the new relationship... (I'll admit I can only get with new girls that don't know me that well :nervous: ) :p

Secondly:  :lol:!!! BTW, that's not what I meant.  It's hard to explain and I'm not the one to do it.  :D

Thirdly:  So that's what that meant... :nervous:

No really, she speaks really good English, in-fact she's taking English III and I'm taking English II :p
