In only a matter of weeks, schools will let out for winter break. That's right people, winter break is almost here... we just need to survive finals and final projects for school first.
But once school gets out and you don't have to worry about homework or tests, what will you all be doing? Or at least, what do you WANT to do?

CoaP meeting and MEWcon!!!!!

I'll need to catch up on math too.

mangakaluna · « **Reply #2 on:** November 18, 2008, 10:53:29 pm »

Ahhh I will be visiting home, my family, and my friends.
As well as trying to get some artwork done so I can get a booth at K-con and sell something.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR BREEEEAAAAAK <3

Teasel · « **Reply #3 on:** November 18, 2008, 10:58:23 pm »

I hope to have made a few friends before winter break, so I'd like to hang out with new friends. Other than that, I'd like to grab a mug of hot cocoa, sit down on my bed, and play Kingdom Hearts 2.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #4 on:** November 18, 2008, 10:58:40 pm »

Trying to get a job in a down market sucks. But I did get a call for an interview in Friday I hope It goes well.

My winter break for homeschooling starts the first of dec. =]
And I just quit my job at starbucks.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #9 on:** November 19, 2008, 08:14:27 am »

work on a cosplay and hopefully go to Mew con....oh yeah and work, I need money. XD

Teasel · « **Reply #10 on:** November 19, 2008, 09:25:28 am »

I think it's safe to say that ALL of us need money. I know most people here need money for their cosplays, myself included. I know need to start saving up money so I have some spending money for Kumoricon. Hell, last year I spent $160 in just two days (I think we all know how easy that can be). And I know I need a $!#+ load of money to get an electric guitar, and then a few years to practice before I can do my ultimate cosplay.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #11 on:** November 19, 2008, 11:38:40 am »

you need an electric guitar >_>

I just so happen to have one that isn't being used

nikkiolie · « **Reply #13 on:** November 19, 2008, 04:48:57 pm »

I would be willing to sell it I don't have a set price yet but I can figure one out

Toxikon · « **Reply #14 on:** November 19, 2008, 11:03:09 pm »

I'm looking for a job, but there have been a lot of layoffs in my hometown recently, so I'll be lucky if I get one.

I'm also going to work on my and my brother's semi-secret cosplays. :3 YAY!

DancingTofu · « **Reply #15 on:** November 19, 2008, 11:43:33 pm »

I get a full 31 days of break. December 5th to January 5th. Right after a 4-day weekend!

makichan · « **Reply #16 on:** November 19, 2008, 11:55:05 pm »

What am I going to do?
Catch up on my 123484987+ hours that I should have been sleeping.
Afterward, I want to spend the money that I have been saving for Christmas gifts, then chill with friends, eat delicious food, and celebrate my 20th birthday by finally getting my tattoo.
I'm crossing my fingers for mewcon at this point. >,<

melchizedek · « **Reply #17 on:** November 20, 2008, 06:32:25 am »

I don't really have plans, I'll likely work holidays for extra monies. Usually don't join in gift giving. People expect gifts at christmas, it is more meaningful to give gifts randomly when not expected.

MiriaRose · « **Reply #18 on:** November 20, 2008, 07:27:48 am »

I'll be in California, playing .hack and cheering for high-speed internet.

I'll also hang out with my friends there and on Christmas eat a 12-course meal. Then we'll open presents and I will hopefully have a good night that night.

Otherwise, it really won't be fun.

MiriaRose · « **Reply #20 on:** November 20, 2008, 07:39:48 am »

Aaah, sorry, I worded that badly.

I meant that if Christmas dinner didn't go as planned, it probably would turn out high-drama.

I only get two weeks of vacation which really sucks. not much time to do anything. :/

nikkiolie · « **Reply #26 on:** November 20, 2008, 04:47:27 pm »

Most high schools only get two weeks. I normally get a month but we started a week late so they took it out of out winter break =/

If the Holiday Season was an Olympic sport, I would win the gold medal.

I will be spending mine making a GLORIOUS load of delicious goodies and working ONLY ONE JOB for 40 hours a week rather than working 3 jobs for 40 hours a week (or I'll be working 2 jobs for 52 hours a week, haha. I'm a workaholic)! I'M SO EXCITED!

Also, I want to hang out with folks~

I WISH I was a workaholic, I'd be able to do so much better in school. Unfortunalty, I'm a procrastinator instead. But that's cool you'll only have to work ONE job.

Eh, being a workaholic is good in theory but not so much in practice. I'm going 5am-1am most days of continuous gym/work/school/work/study/gym/housework and it all kinds of sucks!

I'm soooo looking forward to the holidays! Quitting my third job~!!

Oh, well, um... I wish I was more motivated (seeing how being a workaholic isn't quite as good as it sounds...).

Well I am going to be working a lot during Thanksgiving weekend. Seeing how I'll only be able to work three, maybe four days. But I really need the money

Teasel · « **Reply #34 on:** November 21, 2008, 03:08:52 pm »

During thanksgiving weekend, the only thing I'll be doing will be working on homework and stuying.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #35 on:** November 21, 2008, 03:09:43 pm »

I'll finally be done with midterms and only have one homework assignment left so I wont have to worry about too much other than work, sleep and food XD

Makichan, we ALL feel that way. Nothing would make me happier than to finally have a break from all of my college work.

I've had a bad migraine for the past few days... and I never usually have headaches.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #40 on:** November 21, 2008, 04:23:47 pm »

I don't want it to be here yet. then that means I'll have to work on a bunch of other things and then exams and finals will be here. noooooooooo*grabs at hair*

makichan · « **Reply #41 on:** November 21, 2008, 04:31:25 pm »

I'm more or less looking forward to the actual BREAK part lol
not so much the finals...
I have one that's worth 50% of my grade >,<
and to top it off, I'm not that great on the subject.
I found out that I passed my last test that I took yesterday though ^^
Barely, but still... MIRACLE!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #42 on:** November 21, 2008, 04:44:43 pm »

Yeah once the break is here that means I'll be done with finals

I only have three but ......well......they should be too hard

Teasel · « **Reply #43 on:** November 21, 2008, 06:23:36 pm »

Yeah... finals, not fun. Not looking forward to either of my finals. REALLY not looking forward to having to make a website for Frinq.

oslapedo · « **Reply #44 on:** November 21, 2008, 06:27:12 pm »

My finals are after winter break which scares me because I'll forget everything I'm supposed to remember ;_;

melchizedek · « **Reply #45 on:** November 21, 2008, 06:31:38 pm »

Yeah, I'm ready for to be done with drama in my group for class project. Will still be working though so it's not a proper break.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #46 on:** November 21, 2008, 10:44:29 pm »

yeah mine are also after break. and just the fact that I only have 2 weeks of free time(which is completely free) and then BAM tests. >_< which means I'll ALSO forget everything I learned...unless it's an easy class like art. XD

nikkiolie · « **Reply #47 on:** November 22, 2008, 02:59:08 pm »

ok well I got my Thanksgiving weekend work schedule and all I have to say is x.x

So far I work Wednesday, Thursday (Of Thanksgiving), Friday and Saturday. About 7 hours each day. Which is great because I really really need the money....but man I get no break x.x

Toxikon · « **Reply #48 on:** November 22, 2008, 03:03:35 pm »

Geez, I feel sorry for you guys who have tests after the break.

The only final I'm really worried about is math. Bleh, I hate that class. But according to the formula the professor gave us, if I keep doing as well as I have been, I'll get a B or a C... Not great, but passing. I'd absolutely HATE to have to re-take this class.

GRAH. My professors in my first two classes next Wednesday canceled class, but then my other two profs didn't. One even assigned a midterm! Grr.

But good news, I have an interview with UPS on Friday.

If all goes well, I might be a driver's helper over Winter Break, which would be AWESOME. My friend has done it for the past two/three years, and he says it's a lot of fun.

That's how I feel with Bio. I'll stop at NOTHING to pass, just so I won't have to put myself through the same torture a second time.
