Good thing that you made a change before it was too late! :yes:

I always thought it would be (too) hard to leave school, get a job and then have to go back to school afterwards :huh: ... but I just recently found out that I have to do it in a couple of years if I want a certain masters! :shrug:

And I really, really want that! :reject:

it wasn't easy making a decision to go back to a full-time education as a mature student (lol, 'mature', aye 'right, whatever!). Especially uprooting myself and moving 200 miles away to the city. Once I was there though, I settled into it and it was great. i had been nervous that the people i'd be at Uni with would be all fresh out of high school and worse...real computer nerds. I had huge nerves that I'd made a terrible decission - wasn't nervous about the actual course, I was nervous that I wouldn't fit in socially. It was great though, half the class were actually my age (some were older, a lot older).

It would be nice to go back and do a Masters but I can't see that happening. It would be for the wrong reasons - simply for the sake of doing it and being a student again as, unlike yourself, I don't have a course that I have my heart set on.
 
*walks in covered in rain and shakes off in the doorway*

Poor dorthe :hug: I cant imagine that happening to me....but in order for that to happen both mine and Tim's iPods, plus the laptop and the computer would all have to crash so I dont see it happening.

:sigh:
Im bored and have no motivation to get up and do anything interesting.
I just went grocery shopping for burrito ingredients and put air in the car tires :wink:
Maybe I should just go to sleep :shrug:
 
*walks in, slowly*

This is my first time in the bar...how is everyone? I hope I don't seem out of the ordinary... ;)

*Sits down on a bar stool, sipping a bottle of Zima while wearing a bright pink "Bud Bowl '98" cap and a white cape.*

Tim gets to come home to a 19 year old college student wife. Isnt that a fantasy for some guys? :scratch:

:combust: This is better than any fantasy I ever had! :yes:

I told you that you're everything I've ever wanted and a whole bunch of things I forgot to ask for :sexywink:

** Notices the new dude on the barstool wearing a cape **

Welcome! :wave:

** Pours another Zima for the new customer **

Mind if I ask why you're wearing pink and a cape? Did you watch the Incredibles recently?

*drags out the cardboard cutout*

Thanks for the :hug:s girls! :hug:

... but somehow it fixed itself - it ran out of power and now it's working again (it's in the dock)! :confused: Technics!!! :rolleyes:

No new iPod for me, but I don't care - I'm very satisfied with the (old-school) one I've got! :D When it's working, that is! :wink:

I'm actually looking at two different degrees right now :reject:, that I think sounds extremely interesting, and I could see myself doing both - but I think it's more likely that I'm only doing one and not the other... or...I dunno! :huh:

But I'm having the opposite "problem" of you - I'm seen as very young in educational terms in this country (Denmark)... and my age could be against me, if I apply for a job right after finishing Uni next summer.
So I'd like to study some more - get some more expert knowledge... and get a little wiser! :wink:

We'll see what happens! :D

:reject: I just served him one. I just figured with the cape and the pink hat, he might just be a little *whispers* ARTY :shrug:

You could say that...you could also say that the Zima's have been getting to me! :D Bud Bowl 98 was a classic, too. *Has the entire history of Bud Bowl memorized.*

Thanks for the beverages, though, folks!

*Drinks his second Zima and the Rum and Coke at the same time*

Yummy! Thanks, guys! :wave:

If I meet Bono this summer I'm going to say to him: "You say 'Live Aid' ruined your life - Well, you ruined mine! :wink:"

I was going to lead a nice, quiet life. Have a good job in a pharmaceutical company, do a little research... and the HE startes with his "continent on fire", "standing around with watering cans" :blahblah:

:rolleyes: :lol:

Hell if I get that PA job I'll throw a PLEBA party in my office or whatever I get..bono's dressing room :whistle: :wink:
My dad is threatening to try and get a job working the Edun line. He's in fashion so it would be an easy transition :laugh:

I'd bet your dad looks really :cool:!!! What more could you ask for on your wedding day, than your dad in Bono shades? :giggle:

Well, a certain someone as wedding singer, of course, but... :wink:
