College life!

[iJin]

Well, have one more week until summer classes start for college, then on August 18th I immediately start regular classes. I seriously am all too excited.

For the past three years I have been wondering what the hell I really want to do with my life. At first I thought being a psychologist would be great. Then I remembered they don't make all too good money. So I thought, hm perhaps a crime scene investigator. I took some basic CSI classes and yeah everything is pretty nifty and fun. Hell, I learned how to lift up fingerprints from objects and place them somewhere else. CSI will always be a choice for me. Then some nurses came to my old high school and tried recruiting people to go into the medical field. $35 bucks an hour to start is highly convincing, but then there are all those science classes you have to take and I'm not too sure if I'm too set up for that. I mean sure I can do it but do I really want to?

For my whole life I have always wanted to be a singer. As some of you may know I have been singing for quite a long while. I was the president of choir club at San G (My Home Highschool), lead of both choirs there. I have sang background vocals for some local bands and even produced some of my own music. This year I performed alot for just school functions. It was fun. Most people were all like, "Hey! That voice is coming out of her?". I don't really know if that is an insult or not. But I enjoyed it. There is nothing more I love doing than being on stage and just singing.

I have been told time and time again, you have to choose a career path you wont be dreading to get out of bed in the morning to do. Singing/performing is something I know I wouldn't dread. Yeah, I know I'll have to work my ass off to land gigs and stuff. Make demos and whatnot. Thankfully I'm going to transfer to the best music college in Los Angeles. Musicians Institute. Which is located in the heart of Hollywood. So I'll have fun with those trannies. I have a plan, and I know what I got to do. Which is good enough for me. Thankfully I have great friends, family to support me. So I'm all out for this.

So yes, after this next week, I probably won't be around all too much anymore. I'll miss all you friends of mine.

Wish me luck!

[Tisket]

You know, I thought about taking the much travelled path of mocking you and your dreams of fame but I don't feel like being an ass tonight. I hope you are successful. I really do.

[Tisket]

My head is about to explode...I need to find someone to mock ASAP.

[iJin]

Meh, it's not wanting the fame.

It's about taking a chance at something I love doing. For all I know I may be a music teacher or professor. Which would be something I'd enjoy as well.



Edit: Tisket, pls breath and drink some dp.

Where's Back or Miss I when you need them?

And good luck Zuie. Stop by and let us know how it goes. :)

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

I also wish you luck. It sounds like you're doing it for stand up reasons and you're going about it a good way. I sincerely hope no matter what you end up with a career you love.

[Sweets]

The best of luck Zuie. Lots of updates on how you are doing!

[Sean of the Thread]

Just remember to get knocked up around 60 credit hours and ruin your life.


Worked for me! I need to make an infomercial.

[Stanley Burrell]

Don't do acid, because it is what guys wish you were on so that they can take advantage of you.

Unless that's your thing, but still. Drugs are bad m'kay. Remember to go to class, and if anyone takes attendance, make up a story. Or befriend someone who can do a reliable signature/First initial of first + last name. Don't use a funky pen.

Have preemptive death certificates and Dr.'s notices ready. Always.

[Sean of the Thread]

Acid will fuck you up period.

Better advice is always have condoms and don't take drinks from people unless it's the bartender.

[Stanley Burrell]

And if you're a bio major, I can email you basic format for journal citations + bibliography spiffiness the AMS uses in order to pimp out your papers.

We gotta be men though. She needs to be responsible for birth control.

[Tisket]

don't take drinks from people unless it's the bartender.

Best advice so far.

Anyone who leaves their drink unattended or accepts a drink from anyone but the waitress/bartender should be smacked. Hard.

[iJin]

I don't drink anyways! So I'm set.

[The Ponzzz]

Are you going to sound like Lacuna Coil?!

[sst]

Well, unless you decide to grow up and change the way you dress (read into having your wrists pierced) your only option is going to be music industry or you could be the clerk at a porn book store. So good luck with that.

Hm.

Yes, cause piercings is the only reason why I can't get a job any place else right? Hah, you don't even know how I dress and none of my piercings are visible unless I want them to be. There is something called a "long sleeve shirt".

Secondly, it is far more apparent that I'm more mature than you'll ever be by swinging sad excuses for insults.

You just make me laugh. Although, I will be more successful than you'll ever dream to be.

Good day!

[TheEschaton]

BUT DAVE R ARMY! DAVE R MATURE!!!!!111

Dave is the son of the garbage king of Chicago so his success may end up being second to only Abe Frohman's.

[Skeeter]

The sausage king?

[Xaerve]

Big Sausage pizza?

Rofl... at least they fixed his tooth for free.

Edited: Meant to quote this post -

I actually know the son of an owner of one of Chicago's waste management companies... He's loaded, took a bunch of us on a ski trip in his private jet over Christmas. It was pretty fun.

On a side note, good luck zuie! If you need help with anything business related, let me know.

Oh, and be careful with your grades, as soon as your GPA starts to slip, it can be tough to recover

She may not get into music grad school then.

[Sean of the Thread]

Well the first 2 years or 60 credit hours watever comes first is a complete joke anyways. Anyone can fumble thru that shit they just want your money.

Unless you go to a school that has a top 10 program in your field....

At my business school, the first 2 years are BY FAR the most difficult. They want to weed out anyone that obviously wouldn't be able to cut the workload or doesn't have a quick enough mind.

Well that's a good point. But generally my statement is correct. Even state schools bust your balls in the first two if you're planning on trying to get into their say nursing or education program.

But mainly the first 60 credits is bullshit. However it's wise to take as many that line up with your next 60 as possible.

*Like I took a shit load of extra humanities and history courses that were not required because once upon a time before life sucked I had dreams of being an anthropologist or something along those lines.

Yeah, definitely try to take some courses that line up...

If you see a good adviser, you can get a lot of courses that double up to knock out multiple prerequisites.

I <3 that movie. I think I may watch it tonight, now.

[ElanthianSiren]

That's a nice school, if it's the one I'm thinking of. Just be careful, right up the street by the freeway is pretty ghetto, but the rest of it is all fenced in and has the 'exclusive' look.

As far as the first two years of education being BS, I'd disagree with regard to applied science degrees.

[wood1559]

break a leg, zuie.

[iJin]

Well, classes start tomorrow.


And my nervousness and anxiousness is totally taking over.

[Nieninque]

Nervousness and anxiousness. That's pretty worrying.

[Sthrockmorton]

Well, classes start tomorrow.

Syllabus week!

[Numbers]

Everybody else that's starting is just as nervous and anxious as you, if not more so.

[Bobmuhthol]

Except me. I own college.

[iJin]

Hahah.


Bob you're so queer.

[diethx]

Yeah, the first class will just be your professor going over the syllabus, rules, etc. And if it's a small class, they'll probably make everyone go around and say something about themselves.

[Stanley Burrell]

Don't get addicted to caffeine, it is the Devil. Stay true to your peppery Dr. beverage. Red Bull is everywhere, because we need an amino acid involved in emulsifying bile salts with 70mg of caffeine per beverage.

Don't become one of those entire fridge filled with diet coke chicks. Don't drink those retarded ass vitamin waters.

[Stanley Burrell]

Oh, right: Only drink booze.

And, since I still view you as too young, I refrain from other comments.

[Sean of the Thread]

Just gonna say it again... condoms.

[iJin]

Well, first day was surprisingly smooth. Seriously.

CHC 100 was pretty fun. Whoever said syllabus week, is so wrong. More like day. I already have one project and 3 papers to write. But meh, pretty easy stuff. I also took a peak at the theater and my god it is so gorgeous. ENG 914 is super easy, yet boring. I had to go out to break and splash water on my face cause I was falling asleep and it was 108 degrees out. Also, I loved the way the teachers pronounced my name. It is, jean-neh-fur.

Anywho, I have to go read english literature and do a project.

[Bobmuhthol]

When the hell did colleges start using 900 level classes to indicate first year?!

[iJin]

Don't be jealous, I still love you.

[Bobmuhthol]

This calls for retaliation.

[iJin]

!!

Man, I was gonna take you out to dinner too. :(

[Skeeter]

why did you decide to start in the summer?

[iJin]

Cause I wanted to get 7 easy units, plus priority registration, plus I now get my first 70 units all paid for including books.

Plus! I hate being home.

[diethx]

Who the fuck doesn't know how to pronounce Jennifer?

[iJin]

It isn't Jennifer!

It is Jeaniffer.

[Skeeter]

Were your parents high when they named you or just bad spellers?

[iJin]

I don't see anything wrong with my name.


I like it.

[Skeeter]

okayy

[diethx]

At least it's not Apple, Scout, or Audioscience.

[Skeeter]

I met the wife at Max & Erma's today for lunch and our waitress' name was Coran. She pronounced it just like Koran. We discussed whether her parents were too stupid to spell Koran, or too stupid to understand what it means.

I felt like asking her if she had sisters named Bible and Tanakh.

[diethx]

What's a Tanakh?

[Snapp]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanakh
The bible used in Judaism evidentily. I didn't know either. :shrug:

I thought that was a Torah?

[Tisket]

Yeah, it's not like she warned us or anything, like RIGHT IN THE TITLE that this thread would be about her and her college so we could choose whether we wanted to open that thread...

[Paradii]

When I think of college life, i sure don't remember talking about a book report.

[Skeeter]

I thought that was a Torah?

I'll defer to actual jews on this one, but I believe the Torah is a book of prayers.

[Some Rogue]

Not Jewish, but the Torah(the 5 books of Moses) are part of the Tanakh.

rofl right on target.

[Latrinsorm]

I'll defer to actual jews on this one, but I believe the Torah is a book of prayers.Tanakh is TNK; T for Torah, K for Ketuvim, and N for uhhh something else. Torah is the first five books.

[Snapp]

From the link that I posted like 10 posts ago..

The Tanakh (Hebrew: תנ״ך‎) (also Tanach, IPA: [taˈnax] or [təˈnax], Tenakh or Tenak) is the Bible used in Judaism. The name "Tanakh" is a Hebrew notariqon or acronym formed from the initial Hebrew letters of the Tanakh's three traditional subdivisions: The Torah ("Teaching," also known as the Five Books of Moses), Nevi'im ("Prophets") and Ketuvim ("Writings") - hence TaNaKh. The elements of the Tanakh are incorporated in various forms in Christian Bibles, where, with some variations, it is called the "Old Testament."

I hear something in the distance...

Oh! It's the sound of dreams being crushed.

[Nieninque]

It's your life Zuie. Spend it doing things you enjoy.

[TheEschaton]

So, 2nd day of classes - pregnant and drunk/high yet?

[sst]

Okay so have you gone to a party, thrown one in your dorm? passed out naked and drunk yet? i mean anything exciting?

[sst]

So, 2nd day of classes - pregnant and drunk/high yet?

exactly

[sst]

I hear something in the distance...

Oh! It's the sound of dreams being crushed.

Its really her only option with her major... What famous musicians (read that as Rich ones) does anyone know that have a BA in music?

[iJin]

sst, please get off my nuts for the love of god.

[Sean of the Thread]

Zuie not that you're the sharpest tool in the shed but dave/sst is not far behind you. I wouldn't take much of what he has to say to heart if I were you.

[iJin]

I don't take anything to heart here. That would require me actually caring what half of you people say, which is more than I don't have.


Heh.

[Sean of the Thread]

Well that's your decision but keep in mind that many of us here have much more wisdom and experience to share. Don't be ashamed or shy to take hold of what some of us have to say. It's really not to hard to figure out who knows wtf is up.

SST/DAVE is not one one of those unless I R ARMY U DON'T KNOWS SHIT.

[DCSL]

Well that's your decision but keep in mind that many of us here have much more wisdom and experience to share. Don't be ashamed or shy to take hold of what some of us have to say.

It's totally true that there're ways in which people on the PC can help one another and I respect Sean2 all the more for pointing it out but it still made me laugh.

[Sean of the Thread]

An online forum community is really hard to describe on many levels. If anyone knows of any papers or such written upon said subject I'd be interested in reading. I'm too lazy atm to really do any searching.
