Senior year! Senior year!
At the end of a break, I always look forward to going back to school. I like school, for the most part. When people have asked me if I'm excited to graduate this spring, I say kind of, but I really wouldn't mind if my undergraduate degree were a 6 year program rather than 5. Things are going well for me here. Life is pretty darn okay, you know?
I expected that sentiment to carry over in my last-time moments. Like, "aww, this is my last back to school season" and "aww, this is the last work report I'll ever do." YEAH, NOT SO MUCH. I'm only a week into this term, and I'm ready to strangle all textbooks. I've had an eye twitch since last week. I am ultra stressed out already, and I would like to graduate tomorrow, please.
That said, fourth year has brought some pretty sweet perks. For example, in engineering we have study rooms for each program. The mechanical study room is up several flights of very narrow stairs where you think you can't possibly be headed to anything but a murder room, and then there is a door with a lock. You have to know the passcode to enter. IT'S PRETTY MUCH THE GRYFFINDOR COMMON ROOM. I'm considering putting a picture of the Fat Lady on the door.

LFar - I *know* how you feel. I feel like I am in my 100th year of school - and it seems like the end is NOT in sight. Congrats on making it to your senior year! What's up next for you? :) -Syd
Definitely put up that picture! That would be sweet!
PS Can you send me the codes, I didn't get a chance to write them down in class before he told us they weren't on the slides he posted.
We had a dentistry/dental hygiene study room too. They called it the pulp chamber because we're into dental humour like that. :) Happy last year!
Yeah, I'm graduating in May too and I'm kind of bummed... I like school. I know I'm good at school - what if I fail at the real world?! But the other part of me is all "Get me out of here the freshmen are so young!"
Senior year was ridiculously busy for me too, and we didn't even have a cool Harry Potteresque common room to console us! This year, my 19th year of education, I'm finally not feeling the love of school so much. Good thing I only have two more classes after this semester.

You're my hero.
That is all.
do it!
and i was just thinking on the way home from work how much i miss being in school...
I've only been out of school for a few months and I miss it terribly. I fell in love with my campus.
I would like nothing better than to sit in the English department building all day long and talk about books with people who "get" it again.
Sigh.
