Ugh yeah, Monday's really going to suck. I think that's when most people in the U.S. are going back.

Yup, Monday is my first day of college winter quarter. I remember in high school where we would have to go back to school on the second.

 

[Tsutarja]

Ugh, I hated my junior year in high school. That year, we had to go back on January 2nd, and it pissed me off mainly because my parents were off that day (since New Year's Day in 2012 was on a Sunday). At least the next year though they pushed winter break back another week, and we didn't go back until January 7th, but that also meant a later start to the break as well.

In Australia, Christmas break is 6 weeks and lasts through to the end of January. Weep, suckers :P

I love how we get holidays that long, it's all to make the most of summer where most Australians like to go for a dip in the water, whether it'd be at the beach or a local swimming pool. And of course Australia celebrates its national day near the end of said holidays.

How beautiful.

 

[Tsutarja]

Do you guys have a large break though in June in Australia? Here in the USA when it's summertime, most places have a 12-week break from school :P

I hope you get bitten by one of your many venomous creatures and become incapacitated until the very day you go back, when you are suddenly and miraculously healed. </3

I started work again on boxing day.

 

[Gabri]

I am free of classes through the whole January too.
Instead, I have exams.

Exams that I don't know how the hell will I pass them.

 

[Seki]

I haven't had class since November, and it will continue all the way till February or April. Anyway, wish me luck for my O levels (that national exam) results that I will be collecting in 2 weeks time.

 

[mikey]

I'm off until January 27. I'm enjoying my break now, but eventually I will get bored and actually want to go back to school.

 

[mishy.]

Only off until the weekend is over then it's back to school In which this semester is, quite literally, sink or swim with me since I am the worst student ugh. But I want to do this and I'm very willing to try my best. My classes aren't too bad either; mostly creative which is more up my alley.

 

[Tsutarja]

I start school again on Wednesday, and I can say that I am looking forward to being in school again xD

 

[Legendary Silke]

I'm already two days into my first quarter of the new year...

I like the new lecturer, especially when she starts to wax poetic about C#. (We're still in C++ land, though, and she really doesn't like C++, to say the least.)

C# is basically perfection to her. I hope I get to start working on C# assignments soon.

I start classes on Monday. I hate that my college starts so soon because I've only had a 3 week break. Plus I found out one of my classes got cancelled and I literally don't have the room in my schedule to replace it, but I need the credits.

Lucky, I've only had 2! xp

I'm still in high school though. The colleges around here get 3 weeks off as well.

And with me starting school comes job search. *sigh* I'm responding to a job posting just as I'm typing this up and what to say on my cover letter is surely making my brain explode.

 

[Aeroblast]

My "real" semester begins in 27th and winter session starts in 6th.

What's winter session? Not like winter break is it? :o

In the process of doing the same thing. I absolutely hate cover letters. So annoying.

Never had to do a cover letter. Applid at McDonalds and got called the next day. Though they'll literally let anyone work there...

Best of luck to you guys. Hope you guys get the job! :)

 

[Alexander Nicholi]

What's a cover letter, guys?
