what are you studying...?

[punkforlife]

for anyone at uni/college, what are you studying and where?

[cristal]

nursing at st.anthony's school of nursing in rockford, il
just a small private college
and yourself?

[punkforlife]

philosophy and politics at york (england)

[hXc_pwnage]

philosophy and politics at york (england)
That's what I want to study...what are you planning on doing when you get out?

[punkforlife]

cry because the stupid philosophy has convinced me that nothing really exists and the politics has proved to me that even if it does, some politician will only come along and fuck it up anyways!
seriously, i think i'm going to join the royal marines but i gotta get a whole bunch fitter.

[hXc_pwnage]

Hahahahahahaha. That made me laugh. I guess I'll have to go through that, too. Wish me luck. >.<

[cristal]

philosophy is really intense
i don't bother with politics because no matter what something is always fucked up and i don't see it changing anytime soon

i hope you feel better

[punkforlife]

i was actually doing fine with the philosophy until we started doing ethics this term - it is such a sack of shit!to the guy who wants to study philosophy, if it is at all possible avoid ethics like the fucking plague, it is shit!

[punkforlife]

plus good luck with being a nurse. you people are great. i wish my degree was actually useful to myself or mankind... (say in bart's teachers voice) "hah philosophy useful, not a chance"...

[cristal]

thanks...
ethics is a bastard, that's for sure. i remember taking that class. intro. to logic sucked too.
you can use your degree to teach

[hXc_pwnage]

True...I have learned to love docotors and nurses...especially the good looking ones. :grin:

[cristal]

haha
my friends are always saying HEEEEELLLLLLOOOO Nurse just like in animaniacs. cracks me up

[hXc_pwnage]

Animaniacs<33333.

You want to move to GA and be my nurse? :grin:

[punkforlife]

thanks...

ha no fucking way am i going to be a teacher. never in a million years. i have no patience.

[cristal]

GA, that's a long fucking way away from IL.
i'm too lazy, sorry...

[hXc_pwnage]

Plane..der.

[cristal]

if you taught for college kids, it wouldn't be that bad

[cristal]

Plane..der.

yes dear
i think we're jackin' this thread

[hXc_pwnage]

Who cares...when you create a thread you show know that sooner or later...it WILL be jacked. Buahahah! :grin:

[cristal]

i know, i love it

[hXc_pwnage]

The greatest is when you help to jack your own thread...I've done that a couple times. :)

[Sway]

Ethics was a crazy class. I've never been more fundamentally confused in my whole life. lol. It was great.

I'm studying english and journalism. It's definitely a party. :)

[cristal]

i've never created a thread
i'm a thread-creating virgin

[hXc_pwnage]

Well...let tonight be your first. I can help...I'll teach you everything I know.

I tried to make it sound as sexual as possible..but it doesn't really work in this situation...haha.

[Sway]

How's it feel? Powerful? lol.

journalism is awesome. good luck

[Sway]

journalism is awesome. good luck
Thanks, I'm excited about it. I was originally in business but then switched because this is something I ENJOY. I just hope that I'm able to make a good living off it eventually. I do ya know...intend to have a family and such...

[cristal]

How's it feel? Powerful? lol.

i'm eager but not sure if i'm ready just yet

[Sway]

Do you eventually switch over to a bigger medical school, or can you finish your whole nursing program at the private college?

[hXc_pwnage]

You've been ready for a long time...you can do it. Just go easy...and if someone just takes over...just let it happen.

[cristal]

journalism is my plan b if nursing doesn't work out
i love it!

[punkforlife]

if you taught for college kids, it wouldn't be that bad
from what i've seen it'd be worse. you get less money and in regular school the kids might back-chat and give you a little shit but at uni the students are always pissed. it would just feel some much more pointless, lecturing drunk. you're going to have to suggest another job cause the royal marines are still winning at the now.

[Sway]

journalism is my plan b if nursing doesn't work out

I think for a lot of "us" (I assume most of us here have a few things in common) we all have journalism as our plan b as the thing we LIKE to do, and then start off with something that we sort of like but assume we'll be able to have better success with. lol.

Is that kind of how it is for you too?

[cristal]

Do you eventually switch over to a bigger medical school, or can you finish your whole nursing program at the private college?

i'm finishing my bachelor's at the smaller college then hopefully transferring to a larger college to finish my master's because i want to specialize in obstretics

[Sway]

What about High School? Sure you dont' get to cover really complex stuff that YOU find interesting, but atleast it's sort of a steady job where you develop into the system and make long time friends and stuff.

prob. then that's your best choice. not too much to do with a philosophy degree. sorry :(

in high school, i ran the paper, did the yearbook, slide show, etc. i always loved it and i can do it easily. but i've always felt like nursing would suit me better...kinda like my way to help make a difference in the world (sorry if that sounds lame)

no no, that doesn't sound lame at all. That's a huge part of why I got out of business. I want to do something to help other people besides myself. I really respect that. That's cool.

[punkforlife]

its my own fault. should have paid more attention to my application. to be fair, i did get the two most sensible girls in my year to fill it out for me so really its their fault!
in reality though, i'm not smart enough to do science or maths, not practical enough to do engineering and just not indiana jones enough to do archaeology (sp?)...

damn straight, its all about social conscience. go be a nurse and make people better and/or help them as best you can. if i had the brains i'd be a doctor in a fucking heartbeat. i guess i'd like to be a fireman maybe?

try taking some other classes of a wide variety to try to find out another interest

[punkforlife]

its cause its 9:25am here and i spent all night 7pm-2am drinking vodka and playing cards and now i have to get ready for a philosophy seminar about an essay i haven't yet finished.

[Sway]

I have a buddy who just became a fireman and he LOVES it. You know what you should do? I assume you just work during the summers? You should do some volunteer firemaning work over the summer. He did that just to test it out and made some good buddies in the department and it really helped him decide to get into it.

As for social conscience, I'm hoping that I'm able to effect some type of help or create awareness with journalism. What I'd REALLY like to do is get overseas to smaller countries and reveal stuff going on. That'd be really rewarding I feel. Just leaving the damn states in general honestly.

[cristal]

thanks to both of you for the support...much appreciated

Sway...what exactly do you want to do in journalism??

[punkforlife]

try taking some other classes of a wide variety to try to find out another interest

we don't have that option in good old blighty. you can change course but its a world of arse ache and expense. plus i have spent £500 on books so far and i'm fucked if i'm not gonna get my money's worth out of them!

[Sway]

its cause its 9:25am here and i spent all night 7pm-2am drinking vodka and playing cards and now i have to get ready for a philosophy seminar about an essay i haven't yet finished.
hot damn....it's 1:30 am here, hadn't considered the whole over the ocean thing. LOL. Maybe you should get off the damn computer, stop foolin about and write that essay! haha.

how strange, you want to leave the states and i want to be there. i'll swap you my british (soon to be the 51st state anyways) passport for your yank one?

[punkforlife]

your right but as with so much in my life what i SHOULD do and what i'm GOING to do are completely different things. its a tragedy but i get by.

[Sway]

how strange, you want to leave the states and i want to be there. i'll swap you my british (soon to be the 51st state anyways) passport for your yank one?

HAHA I don't want to leave FOREVER, I just want to get out and see a little bit of the rest of the world. I'd love to just spend like a year over in Britain. I've always really been interested in that area of the world for some reason. lol. Maybe it's cuz I love the lostprophets? hahaha.

Nah...just living in the states is like a little bubble. It's so easy to totally forget that the rest of the world is out there.

[Sway]

It's weird how we're all interested in where we aren't huh?

I just want an accent. That'd be tight. And y'all have really cool slang terms over there too. I just want to go and get all that.

We are just boring. lol.

[punkforlife]

I get that a lot from people from Britian. I think it's because people actually KNOW about them there. And I know Kerrang gives them lots of shit too...they're considered like ...boy band rock type thing huh? like...linkin park is here.

Over here...NO ONE knew who they were the past like...4 or 5 years I've been into them. Only the past few weeks has anyone ever heard of them really.

the accent is great i guess and we do swear better than any other country on earth ("bugger", "bollocks" and "arse" being strictyl british i think). i just want to make it clear though that country to popular cinematic belief there are more than 3 types of person/accent in britain. we're not all cockney boot shines (dick van dyke - marry poppins), east london gangsters (lock, stock...) or landed aristocrats (soemthing else).

i met ian at a punk rock festival in london and he was being a real jerk to all the kids (not me) that wanted to speak to him and whatever. just really arrogant for a man that dresses like beckham but lacks the talent

[Sway]

which is sad really...because Jason Statham is just ridiculously cool. And yeah I LOVE your swearing. Bollocks and bugger are so awesome. I love bugger.

Bugger off will you? Man...tremendous.

However, I assume that if I came and lived there for a while I'd still always be considered a "yank" and wouldn't really develop the accent and be able to use those words would I?

[Sway]

just really arrogant for a man that dresses like beckham but lacks the talent

Really? Wow don't too much enjoy hearing that. I've met him twice and he was really receptive both times, maybe there was just bad blood in him at that event? Who knows though..he does dress pretty cocky.

Now Beckham...he's that soccer guy right?

[punkforlife]

football geezer, it's called football. and yeah thats what beckham does. apparently the lostprophets want to get big in america, and thus are nice when they're there, so they can leave and avoid the shit they get in britain.

[Sway]

Ah. I suppose that makes sense. LOL.

Football....see can't call it football because we have...different...football? And it's sort of a big deal here. Which is funny because soccer..(futbol) or what have you....is next to nothing here. HAHA.
