Anyone else take Summer off?

Published

I chose not to take classes this Summer because I have exactly 8 classes left to take and I have to have at least 4 at once to be considered a full-time student during the Fall & Spring semesters. I have to be a full-time student in order to remain on my parents' health insurance.

Anyway... my question is, did anyone else take the Summer off? Is anyone else super bored and VERY anxious to get back to school?!?!? I know I am. I can't stand not having school. I only get 1 shift a week at work and in the meantime I've been going crazy! I'm one of those people that can't sit still. I've been reviewing Chem & A&P online a little because I am taking those this Fall, but I don't want to get sick of it before I start the classes lol.

Lately I've been reading lots of novels and doing lots of sewing... anything to pass the time until I get back into the classroom! Am I alone or is anyone else going crazy???:lol2:

Me :) I took the summer off too to spend time with my kids. I go back Aug 20th and they return to school Aug 21st. I'm really excited to get back to school (p/t)... I'm taking Bio w/lab and Eng this fall... I completed Eng 16 years ago... unfortunately the credits won't transfer :( so I have to retake it, bummer...

Enjoy the rest of your summer!! :wink2:

I am taking the summer off. I was going to take the EMT-B class this summer but since I was going to be gone for 10 days it ended up not working out.

I took the summer off too. I am volunteering ~3-4hrs/week. I put in a job app. the beginning of June to work temporarily during the summer, but didn't get a call back until last week. Needless to say I am working for them &only have about 5 days scheduled to work until I start school in a few weeks. In the meantime I am so bored:anpom:&I don't want to sit still &watch TV all day b/c that will just make the time go by slower.

Thanks for the replies everyone! Glad I'm not alone. I kind of feel like my Summer was wasted... but my Fall and Spring schedules are rather intense so everyone has been telling me the break will serve me well, whether I realize it or not! I kind of agree... if I had class all Summer I don't think I would be this geared up for Fall!

I took the summer off too. Not only am I going crazy I am driving everyone else nuts too! I am honest to goodness bored out of my mind and fall term doesn't start for 2 more months.

But, ask me in November how I am doing and I will probably be complaining how busy I am, with no time for anything else but school. Go figure.

I did start studying for A&P though...

Haha oh my goodness! You sound just like me! I already started getting school supplies and stuff! I've also been reviewing A&P and Chem online though... I have A&P I and Chem w/ lab in the Fall. My sister asked what I was doing the other day and I said "School work." like it was normal to do school work when not in school. She flipped out. She was like "School work?!?!? How is it that you're doing school work when you're not in school??? That's crazy. In about a month you're gonna wish you did something fun because you're going to be SWAMPED with school work!"

It's true... it's totally true... but I can't stop! I want to learn lol! I AM going to be swamped, though. Perhaps beyond swamped. A&P I, Chem, Stats, and Sociology all at once??? I'm truly worried. That's why I'm studying up so much now!!!!

I took the summer off because I was getting burn out bad. If you read one of my last topics, you might remember I failed spring semester and went through a divorce.

Anywho, I'm ready for school to start on the 19th. I WILL make straight A's again!

i took the summer off, but not by choice. my job moved farther up north and i can't make it back down south in time for classes, so i had to cancel my summer schedule.

i need to find a new job before the fall semester starts sept. 4th! :banghead:

Specializes in PCA.

I took summer off too. After last year I felt I deserved the break, which I did...but the break was only fun for a week or so and then boredom kicked in...But o well, i doubt there will be too many more years that i can get a nice relaxing summer so Im taking advantage of it! I cant wait till August 25th though(the day i start fall semester)!

I'm waaaaaay too anxious to take summer off! I'm glad I didn't because I'd be counting down the day I go back to school all summer long!! I got finished with Micro, and I will be taking Anatomy, Sociology and Child Development for the Fall and I start applying for nursing school! Even while taking summer school, I'm still really anxious for Fall since it's my last semester before the REAL DEAL!

are you kidding me? how can you be bored? i took chemistry over summer, but that class ended 7/2, so i have time "off" from the beginning of july until august 26 when my micro starts. however, i am working full time. i am enjoying this time off and spending time with my kids. i promised myself that every day when i come off of work, i will be doing something (taking a walk, going to barnes&noble, swimming, shopping, playing with kids, riding my bicycle, seeing a movie etc.). i spent a few days in mexico and las vegas as a part of my vacation. i took 2 weeks off right after chemistry.

i have all my pre-reqs done this past year and will be taking net tomorrow.

wish me luck.
