As fall approaches.. many of us seem to be returning to our lives of work once more. I myself will be a freshman in highschool this Monday (28th) and my sister just moved into college today, she is also a freshman! But I'm curious to hear what everyone else will be doing... work? College? School? Jail?

Post! =]

Well, I'm returning to High School as a Junior. I'm planning on taking the ACT alot this year, working in Journalism, Spanish Club, FBLA (ran for president. Have yet to do elections yet though). My boyfriend is an hour away from me in college right now, so I'm going to be spending all my free time over there. I have a busy two years ahead of me from this point.

I'm returning to a pit of work. I need to dig myself out of this two year hole I've made. Still, things are looking up and I feel confident about my future (if not a little wary).

For me it will be summer and I will be leaving not returning. Currently I am at university but after 8th of November I will be on holiday, I applied for a garden centre job today, part time so I will probably be doing that.

I'll be going back to secondary school for 6th year, my final year. At the end lucky me gets to take the most important tests i will ever take, that will basically decide my future. and included in those tests is a total of 5 hours of maths....ugh (2 2.5 hours tests)

jail
Seriously: I wll probably have to enlist to my old 6th [now 7th, actually] Degree School [some sort of of colledge], because educational system is in reorganisation and to obtain a genuine Engineer's [Batchelor's] Diploma I must listen to 1 more semester/ or, to be more precise - give several exams of difference. In the meantime I'll also enroll to a course that is being organised by our national employment agency, to get training as a computer serviceman. So, to say the least, it's going to be busy. And bloody. And I don't believe I'll hang arround so much arround forums, IRC or anything else but my good guess is, all this will pay off with interest in the end.

I'm going back to highschool in September for my second year of grade 12. I decided to go for 5 years instead of 4. So while a lot of people I know will be gone at college/university, there's a few of my friends sticking around for at least a semester, and I'm also going to have to get along with the age group below me, since they'll be taking the same courses I'll be taking. I got to know a few on my trip to France so hopefully that helps.

Top of the foodchain baby!

Well I will returning to my last year of highschool.. senior baby!

Easy first semester will help me incredibly with getting into just about any college I want to get in... I don't have to worry about my crappy math scores till next semester.

So i got..

genetics
eng 12 hn
Comp graphics
Sociology & Phsycology

and no class on fridays!

I've been back at high school for about two weeks now. I'm a junior (11th grade).

I'm also enrolled at the technology center here. I'm working on getting A+ Certification.

Right now, it's a slow process. I'm expecting to be there for 2-3 years.

I'm not returning no where, I'm starting fresh as a freshmen at College. Hell Yeah!

I'm returning to Highschool. Junior! gah... we don't have a rock on smilie... so i'll borrow the one from the official forums.

And I thought I was going to undergo stress, but you all seem to be very hard workers! xD
I'm enjoying my young years... before jobs and cars because all I ever hear about them are complaints. Yes, being lazy is fun.

Oh yea, I still give myself plenty of lazy time. Thing is, I should probably get busier, at least in getting my next level of driver's liscense. But being lazy and mooching off people that can drive is just very easy...

Interestingly, I am returning to God.... or I should say, my religion, this fall. I never left God. But, I have been put in charge of security at one of the (larger) 7th Day Adventist buildings here that facilitates the running of the 4 largest hospitals in this area. Soooo ... I used to go to church on Sabbath from our studios because the church was 1 1/2 blocks away. But since we moved to the condo, we've been observing Sabbath at home on our own (day of rest, no work, eat sandwiches, read the bible) but we have not yet found the Adventist Church in our new area.
But now at work, when I go there - I see the beautiful pictures & posters and I know that soon I probably will be looking for the new Adventist Church around here.

Tell me about it! I have an Honors Chem 1 class, an AP Psychology class, Trig, and AP Language and Composition!

Talk about a look of work and study. On the first day of AP Lang and Comp I was assigned to write an essay!

Hah. Got my damn 'basic course' papers >< the exam was "make a Folder in here, make 2 subfolders, Open MS Paint, draw something-something, Save it into your 1st Subfolder, rename it, open MS Word & write something, save it into 2nd Subfolder...". Man.
And I had to pay ~35 EUROS for that ! Only so I could get a damn piece of paper... with which I'll be able to go into some serious tech training... yep, life is fun.

And I get my training for free. Kekekekekeke!

Milanius and Zarr, you are pursuing a good course of study ... Cain has A+ hardware and the pay is really good when he's working. Computer repair will always be needed from this time on, I think....

Push the knife deeper, why don't you.

Yep, I sure do know the benefits of A+ Certification. With it, I can gets jobs that pay 16+ dollars an hour if I'm lucky.

That's my job.

Try $20.00+ per hour inshop & $35.00 on site .... half of what the shop is getting in labor. Course I don't know your area but the shop he worked at was in a rather exclusive part of Orlando. It probably vairies regionally, I'd guess.

Not returning to anything just yet. But soon, I should be returning to my old normal life.

I am returning to middle school for the 2nd time this year (gr.8) in 8 days, ergh....it is going to be tough getting used to waking up at 7:30 every morning for the next 9 months

Buddy, I have to wake up at 5:30 so I can catch my bus, which comes at 6:50.

Awww lucky, you get to wake up at 7:30! I have to be up at 6:40 and leave at 7:35 to get to school on time. It's like a 40 minute walk

Maybe I'll get lucky have have a first period lunch so I can sleep in a little bit.

On mondays I have to wake up at 11:30am, and on fridays I don't have to wake up at all. I have it tough

That sounds soooo rough man!

I know at least that I get about 2 and a half hours of break time since I'm taking only 3 classes per semester instead of the usual 2. I had that last year, and I couldn't believe I survived taking 4 classes a day, 3 is just so much better. Especially when both are the last two periods of the day so you can leave school at 12:15 and go have a nap. Good times... hopefully I get something like that again.

I wish I could wake up at 7:30 as well. I have to wake up at 5:45 to get ready to drive to school (which is 20 miles away).

Yeah, well i have to get up at 8:00 in order to shower and eat breakfast and whatnot so i can laeve for school at 8:45 for the 5-10 minute cycle! that's how rough i have it

A 40-minute walk? TMM, dude you must have some of the nicest legs around.

I also have it rough now ... I've got to be at work at 6:30 to 7:30pm instead of around sunset with my previous buildings. Not too much of a difference now though since the sun is setting earlier at end of August. So, I've got to get up by at least 4pm in the afternoon to have dinner, dress and get there.

But lately, instead of staying up until dawn at our computers when we get me home from work, we've been going to bed around 2am - to I can wake up around 10 or 11am and actually have some morining time. I like morning. If I wake up too early like today, I can nap in the afternoon before work in the evening.

I guess you can say that the amount of walking I do (not to mention a teenager metabolism) keeps me from packing a gut. I'm pretty sure I'm considered skinny, but I would have to say most of my weight is on the lower half of my body. Considering I won't have as much time playing hockey this year, the walks are really helpful. I also walk to work nearly everyday as well, so I do quite a bit of walking.

Wow, this time next week, school basically starts. I say basically because for some weird reason, students in grades 11 and 12 don't have to be at the school until 12pm and then we leave by 1:45pm. I guess it's an orientation day. This is the first time they've done this, and I've been at this highschool for four years.

Well, try to stay thin ... that is the healthy way to be. Way too many Americans are too fat these days = I could lose a few pounds myself. About 15 less would make me exstatic about my figure! Especially with all the swimming I've been doing ... it's happening but awfully slowly it seems like.

You know what I hate? When I return to Walmart for grocery shopping and see so many chunky, fat children whose parents have normal builds ... what's that all about? Love thy child to death? (early heart attack due to overweight later in life?) Doesn't seem right. Those kids need more exercise!

Awww I hope you do! I´d just hate not to see you around, it would make me really sad!

Oh well I´ve returned to work.....just like that. Rise at 5am....catch the bus at 6.30, work all day get home at about 5.30 pm...THEN the really hard work begins.....at home! sheeesh....

But I´m planning my trip to US now..and that´s something to look forward to!

Hye Minque girl, was just thinking about you and wondering how your new job has been going. I see you start off really early like some other people here do. Yes, I know what you mean about having work waiting at home, but our little condo is so comfy and petite that it only takes me less than an hour to clean the whole entire place, top to bottom ... so that is good.

You are coming to the U.S. ?? Very cool. If I remember correctly your daughter is somewhere around Michigan, is that right? Guess you are heading up that way. Coming anywhere near Orlando, Florida? If so, I'd love to meet you! Wouldn't that be cool. I belonged to a website once who had a little reunion in Orlando ... but they were all Americans who came.

So how is the new job? I figure there must be an increased level of responsibility because you haven't been around as much as you used to be. But so glad you are still here ...

Ah Ibis..lucky you! My house is about 196 square meters.....now that is a lot! And I don´t have a chance to keep it as tidy as I want to, but nevermind it´s more fun sitting here talking to you!

Yup my girlie is in Ann Arbor.....first we´re going on a shopping-spree in NYC! (Ouch, my poor credit-card!) Then I´m gonna visit her host family....a couple of days...a week maybe, thaen I really don´t know, I´m thinking of staying another week and then go somewhere so I´m open for any suggestions! Maybe I could find my way to Orlando!

We are so international here in Orlando due to the attractions and the Space Shuttle industry ... even more so than NYC. People usually do spend alot of money visiting here because the Attractions bug bites them and once they see Disney then they want to see Sea World, Universal Studios, etc. My sisters don't do all that when they come though ... they just visit us although they ususally do plan a nice drive on the way home like through St. Augustine, North Carolina Smokey Mountains (those are the Smokies, right?), etc.

We certainly would roll out the red carpet for you at Casselberry by the Lake!

Rainer is returning to high school (which he is writing this from )

Not sure what the name is for 11th Grade...

In Canadian highschool we just have juniors and seniors. Juniors are grades 9 and 10, seniors, grades 11 and 12. It's the easiest way to doing things since out auditorium is too small to fit the whole school, so the juniors have their assembly first, then the seniors have their assembly next.

When I was in hs - it was = 9th grade was freshmean, 10th grade was sophomore, 11th grade was Junior and 12th grade was Senior. May have changed by now ...

Odd...

In Rainer's school 10+would be considered Senior in that regard...

Well my school is considered large for my city (around 1700). Your school might be smaller than that, so they do it a little different. I know this year, there's going to be less students since other schools are offering subjects that we only supplied. We have this program for students bound to go straight to the workplace, so the school went over a huge (and expensive) renovation. All of them are finally done this year.

So have they changed the order of the grades in college too now? It's not freshman, sophomore, junior and senior anymore? Weird.

No, it's just that Rainer lives in Canada XD.

Ohhh, Canada XD ... that explains it. Do you also run Windows-XD on your computers up there? Play console games on XDBox-360's?? tee hee (I know how silly I am!)

Silly Ibis

Hey, Ibis, read Live And Let Die? Because you remind me of Tee Hee, with his fake laugh.

Are you implying that I should read it twice, Abu? lolol

My funniest time was when I used a nick CedarLilly back at morrowindfiles.com and some guy came online after I laughed like that and said "Hey get a grip man. Don't giggle. You sound like a girl!" And I replied "I AM a girl! You thought I was a male with the name CedarLilly??" So strange. tehehe

I can understand that reading the "Cedar" part of that name can be mistaken for a male nickname. Like trees are big, and strong. But the "Lilly" part totally gives it away. I guess some people need to think a little bit more before they speak.

I should heed my own advice as well, you can't imagine what some of the really stupid things I've said before. Most of the time, it just leads to me inadvertantly making fun of myself or opening myself up for a "burn" by someone else. Ohwell, I take it all in good humour most of the time.

No, I'm implying that you sound like Tee Hee in Live And Let Die! Or, wait... do you mean that you think that I'm implying that you should read Live And Let Die over again? Did you read it?

Hopefull I'll be returning to my writing. I've been neglecting it ever since I finally got high speed internet. I've been on a gaming marathon and it doesn't help that I just bought Call of Duty...
