Tweak says, "Don't make me use my numchucks"

Man, I never get tired of this icon. Eventually I'm going to make the slowed down, slightly less spastic version.

Anyway! As with what seems to be half the community at this point, it's end of semester time for me, too, and as usual that means pure chaos. I'll try to keep up, but if you notice me slacking off or only sporadically appearing on AIM and/or tagging, it's just because suddenly I'm having to pay attention to stuff I've neglected all semester. Whoops. All my papers are due the first week of May, so after, say the 7th or so I should be back to normal. Just wanted to give a heads up. :)

	Thanks for letting us know, good luck with your school stuff! <3 I can totally relate, I have serious senioritis and slacked off all semester and now I'm like SHIT ALL MY PAPERS ARE DUE NEXT WEEK lol. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yes. Sounds like my life story right now (hence 4:00am). (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lots of luck! To everyone XD I'm fourthing the sentiment. I've got a good 50 pages worth of essay/stories left to do (but thesis is done yeah!). But yeah. End of the semester is going to see half (maybe 3/4?) the site scrambling. Unless they're terrible students like me and keep slacking. THAT ICON. I CAN'T STOP STARING.

	My turn to spread around happy thoughts and lots of luck! And to say I know the feeling- I should write my senior thesis (1 page out of 7, yay!) since it's due tomorrow. And finish- er, start- my powerpoint presentation for my 7:25 a.m. class. >.> Then, save for a drafting project and exam, I'm done. Though that icon is freaking distracting, just saying.

	Seriously. I miss being around adults all the time. (When you spend all day every day with a one year old... yeah. You miss talking to people who talk back.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I have no idea. XDDD (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I will second this. :/ IT IS SO WEIRD to miss school, but I really really do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm thinking about going back. Maybe in the fall. Community college, just a couple of classes. Creative Writing, Photography, something to keep myself from going batshit, you know? Since I'm bigtimeMom all the time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh, you should! I love that sort of class, where you're challenged and it's interesting but there isn't all that PRESSURE to be perfect and academic all the time. <3

I've been contemplating going to night school to get that teaching license, so by next fall I'll probably be complaining about schoolwork with everybody else, ha. BUT I still miss it, right at this moment.

I got my 30 day Subbing permit, I was doing that before I was pregnant... then I was in my 1st trimester and kept catching head colds from all the snotty buggers (only taught high school, but they're still germ mills) and it was really not worth feeling so shitty. I stopped working in what... November or December 08. o_o Hard to believe it's been that long since I've worked.

THIS IS WHY I'M ONLINE ALL THE TIME. TRYING TO TALK TO PEOPLE WHO SPEAK ENGLISH.

	I laugh every time I see that icon. I'm not sure I'd like a less spastic version of it more than I like this one XD Totally understand about the schoolwork. I think a lot of us are in the same boat right now. I'm pretty sure the biggest cause of death for English majors are somehow paper-related (massive papercut? Crushed to death by theses?)

	LOL, motto. They should put a HAZARD sign on the English department door, seriously. Or an ABANDON HOPE, ALL YE WHO ENTER HERE. ;P (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I SUPPORT THIS. That second one especially. We could paint a Jolly Roger on the door, with crossed pens instead of crossed bones. That would make us infinitely cooler than we already are. (...in my mind, anyway.) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I know exactly what you mean. It's like TWO WEEKS?! That's it?! THESIS REVISIONS AHOY! And then I don't sleep. Good luck to you! (Reply to this)
