<p>i just went out with friends and they were all talking about how their college starts mid or even late september...and i was just like...ughhhhh...i would the happiest person in the world if i didnt have to go to school till then</p>
<p>Haha, I'm actually happy we're getting there late august.
Mainly because I'll end work early (it's so hard for me to quit on the boss, he's such a nice, old guy.. so this way I stop working earlier in the summer for good reason)</p>
<p>plus, i'm excited to make new friends!!
and see you all (possibly as "again", if we meet this month)</p>
<p>yeah i made arrangements with all my prom stuff and ill be able to come if its 28th too!</p>
<p>that's so sweet. I think you might've been the only person with a problem with the 28th.</p>
<p>CMU has a week-long orientation while other colleges are for a day or two.</p>
<p>Does CMU end earlier than other schools? Or do we have more/longer breaks? Starting late August is pretty early.</p>
<p>no we finish the same time as other schools and same or even less vacations...we just have more...school</p>
<p>yeah...I'll also point out that we get out only a few days before christmas (finals run till the tuesday before). I remember when my cousin was excited about her WEEKLONG fall break and I wondered why ours was only 1 day (and you could technically still have a final on that day). Sigh...</p>
