Graduating!!!

[Marcena]

I am finally, after thirteen years of school (yes, I am counting kindergarden) I am out for good until the 10 years I intend on spending in college, but that's beside the point So anyway...I was wondering if I could get a "w00t w00t" from you guys that would be awesome plus anyone else who happens to be graduating this year give a shout out!

Lucky... *envious muttering* I'm stuck in the angsty fish-shooting barrel for another two years. (nice signature, btw)

 

[Ren Suzume]

Seriously, congratulations. What do you plan on studying in college for 10 years?

 

[Marcena]

I am going to be a clinical psychiatrist. I hope one day to end up in a mental institution....but NOT as a patient!

Don't worry, the angsty, fish barrel years fly by....Aw who am I kiddin'! They took FOREVER!! But don't worry, Amelia, they end!

WoOt WoOt!!!!

Good for you!!!

To bad for me though cause I'm stuck in the hell known as high school for 3 more years :?

 

[Marcena]

Wait until the adults find this thread and start prattling on about how easy we kids have it followed by a string of "back in my day" adages. Wait for it....wait for it....

What?! Could it be I'm not the youngest here anymore?

 

[Marcena]

I don't know...he's sixteen too. I know I'm at least older than the two of you...him by nearly a year.

 

[Neshir]

Yeha I'm 16 as of March 2nd.

 

[Marcena]

That's right....So by more than a year, actually!

 

[Neshir]

Oh shut up =P

 

[Marcena]

Is that something you really want, kiddo?

 

[Ren Suzume]

Then indeed I am not the youngest! I'm older than you, Neshir, by eight days.

 

[Marcena]

w00t! You're going to be a senior next year then, right?

 

[Ren Suzume]

Alas, I am to be but a Junior. Winter birthday.

 

[Marcena]

Ahhh Junior year. *reminisent sigh*

Do you have college picked out yet?

 

[Ren Suzume]

No, mostly due to the fact that all the guidance counselors burst out laughing when I tell them I want to go to school for
a) a BFA in theatre or
b) a phD in philosophy.
I thought about psychology for a long time, because I love figuring out how people think. But the problem is: I don't like dealing with people themselves. (no offense, all you people)

 

[Marcena]

That's fine. They all work on the premise that the "philosophy store isn't hiring". I have some friends that were laughed out of the guidance councilor's office for similar reasons.

 

[Neshir]

Thats messed up =/ Their there to guide. Not to laugh at you about your dreams. What assholes.

 

[Marcena]

I agree. A friend of mine is the best techie I've ever met. She wants to be a professional prop manager. She was basically told to go to tech school and learn a real trade.

Practical, but mean.
