It's getting to be that time of year, so who around here is about to graduate? are you finishing High School? University? getting a higher degree? are you excited or terrified or both?

i'm about to finish college, and head off into the not-so-real world (graduate school). huzzah for graduation parties, the fun is already starting to kick off around my school!

Nope. I'll be going into Yr. 13. Last year of school.

Not me. Good luck.

Two more years. Then I'm free to.....well get a proper job, family, grow old, die.

That's quite morbid! :?

hey, just do what i do: keep finding more degrees to get, thus putting off the real world indefinitely. i've been in school for 16 years now, and i have no intention of stopping any time soon.

Graduating High School!

Dear God............. I'm that much closer to the real world

The horror........ the HORROR

Well, its my time of the year (Easter and my birthday always do this to me, just think, come November I'll be half way to 40)

That was my plan. But now education is more expensive (thank to the TB virus), and I think I won't last indefinatley.

yeah, that is tough. i was lucky enough to get a lot of financial aid for undergrad, and now i landed a fellowship so i won't have to pay tuition or rent for grad school...if it wasn't for that stuff i would be on the streets come June.

im about 2 take my GCSE's in a months time about. its pretty scary. and then college and uni. so plenty of education ahead :D

My son is graduating high school, and going on to UCLA.

Are you going to a graduate program in the same university where you are now, or will you be moving?

Moving is both exciting and traumatic, methinks.

I know what you mean, i'm just about to finish my masters, am almost completely broke and have no job lined up yet. Looks like it's sponging off the taxpayer for a while longer for me...

Two more years. THen off to college for me!

Graduating. May.
Looking forward to it, but the ceremony's supposed to be f :shock: king BORING.

When I entered, I didn't know what to expect.
Now that it's over, it seems less than it should have been.
Just like school was.

Don't get me wrong. I had some good times (oh MY yes!).
But when I was a kid, I kept expecting "whoah - university study...that seems like it'll be hard" or something.
But that's bollocks. The university's a degree mill.
Pay the money, do the time, you'll get a sheet of paper afterwards, saying you have a degree in something.
And yeah, san haiti, I know what it is to be flat broke.
Not yet a masters, but still enough in debt to know what being broke's all about.

i'll be moving, though not as far as i did when i left for college. when i first went away to school it was a 2000 mile trip, but this time it's only about 700 miles. i like to travel, and i love new cities to play in, but it will take some getting used to. i also will be living alone for the first time (no roomies lined up, or anything), and that seems lonely and a little scary.

Next year, thank Cronos. Need a lot more time to decide whether I want to go after that MPhil or not.

Two more years for me also. Then off to college for four ( maybe more :( ) years

Living alone rocks. You totatlly know who drank all the orange juice.

I'm graduating this June with a degree in film production. Go ahead, ask how much that degree matters. Ask.

Yeah, not much.

I was going to do grad work (in playwrighting) but I didn't get in. Saddened. I'll apply for the MFA next time 'round. In the interim year I think I'll weep in a corner gently...

For the summer I'm doing an internship as a dramaturg for a Shakespeare festival. After that it's all downhill. I have to move from paradise to the land just north of paradise that's still cool, just not as cool as where I'm at. I'm really trying to avoid moving to LA if I can. So Cal is the shallow end of the pool...

I'm loosing that battle, hopefully I can work with some activist media artists in SF. It's little or no money, but it is experience and more satisfying then going back to selling CDs to ingrates.

Or stop incubating my plays and actually let the theaters that are asking for them have them. What an ass....
