Luigi Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 [quote name='CatherineM' timestamp='1315882078' post='2304050'] I'm loving school. I'm hating the homework though. I'm starting to run out of classes to take, so they may kick me out soon. [/quote] As long as you can pay the tuition..... Maybe they'll invent new classes, just to keep you coming back for more..... You can always hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amppax Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 [quote name='missionseeker' timestamp='1315887708' post='2304092'] Today a friend told me this story from his class: So Dr. Pak walks into class with a bagel and puts on the desk and talks for about 5 minutes on the proper use of the word "qua" (This is a philosophy class) . One of the freshmen puts his hand up and says "Professor, excuse me, but are you going to finish that?" Dr.P: My bagel? FM: yes, are you gonna finish that? Dr.P: Are you asking because you would like it, if I am not going to finish? FrM: Well... yes. Dr.P: Do you realize that that is an inappropriate question to ask me? I can't give you my food. FrM: ... Dr.P Well, we live in a society, and in society certain behaviors are appropriate, while others are not. This one is not. Dr. P turns around and starts talking again. Freshman genius interrupts saying Professor, you realize that I am not asking qua student. I am asking qua hungry person Dr. P retorts: No, you are asking QUA someone who can't control his desires! Silly freshies. [/quote] this story would be better if he responded QUA freshman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrestia Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 [quote name='Deus_te_Amat' timestamp='1315882020' post='2304049'] I love college. It's bittersweet to be a senior. [/quote] Hhhmmmm. I guess my senior year of college was different because I knew that I was going straight to grad school. By the end of grad school I never wanted to see another classroom again. Lo and behold, I am taking a class right now (1st one since finishing grad school). Want to guess what my class is about?

We started school together, suffered together, travelled all over Europe together, and now are supporting each other through senior year. It's going to be hard to say goodbye to these people that have become my best friends. I wish the best for them, but I will always treasure these four years as some of the best and most formative years of my life.

LaPetiteSoeur Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 [quote name='Amppax' timestamp='1315885443' post='2304078'] Unfortunately I'm a sophomore by credit, so where do I fall? [/quote] Me too! But I'm still a freshman, but the university. And I'm not sure when I'll be graduating, because it could be 3 years, 3.5, or 4, depending on what the school and programs decide for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes a little while to get a balance of school work and the spiritual life, but it's definitely possible. I would propose that more things are probably available to you now than you had at your home parish, and you're likely within walking distance, which is amesome! And, it's so much easier to spend time at the church while in college than if you are in the working world. I'm currently straddling both right now (college 2 days a week, 9 hour workdays in a professional environment on Monday, Wednesday, Friday), and I can tell you, there is nothing like a 10-15 minute break between classes that lets you see Jesus!
