I'm less than 24 hours away from my 3 month summer holiday 
I still have one month to go. By that time I will have used 2 months on exams. 3 written with oral exam, and one written in 24 hours without any oral exam. Tomorrow I will hand in the fourth and last written paper, and then I have to start reading for my first oral exam the 10th of june.
Short version: F*** you

How on earth do you have so long holidays? Here in Norway it doesn't start until a month.
I'm guessing the same (= the long holiday) goes for Norwegian universities

Don't worry, Aqua. In February, I'll be starting on my 1-year internship as a journalist. I'll suffer then |

I won't know that until after the "Store Match Dag" (a day where all the journalist students in Denmark meet up with the media companies) in November. |

I went to DJH. We called it "Panikdag". It was a wonderful sight |

It's still called Panikdag, but since I didn't know that you had attended DJH, I used the official name |

Especially here (I don't know if it's the same in other countries), we get our wage whilst on holiday. August rocks.
And, anyway, when I was a student (when I was between 18 and 22), I had to work during Summer time. And no, it wasn't interesting jobs, it was the most basic ones you could possibly think of.
All in all, it's not so bad nowadays.  |

Didn´t know it had an official name. You seem to learn every day |

That would be:
1) Delivering papers
or
2) Work at a grocery store.

Summer : 2001, worked in a factory that produced gas generators for car air bags. Working in 5x8, which means 3 or 4 days of work in a row, and 2 or days of recovery between, working times were either 5:00-13:00, 13:00-21:00 or 21:00-05:00.
Good thing is that it paid quite a lot, night bonus, week-end bonus, etc. I did that during three weeks. If I remember well, the first day was the days when Armstrong killed Ullrich down L'Alpe d'Huez.
Summer 2002 : La Poste.
Two weeks as a postman. Letters are the cool side. Advertisement papers are the bad one. You've to stop at every single letter box every three day max. What a drag. Then two weeks at the office, sorting letters for the next day, and gathering postal boxes (letters or deliveries from firms who pay an extra for that).
Summer 2003 : delivering newspapers (Ouest France) during two weeks in July. Woke up at 3:00 (barely slept) every day, came back home at 6:00, it was already day time.
Then four weeks of cleaning a beach, between 7:00 and 12:00, six days a week. Not a bad job. Didn't pay much though.
Summer 2004 : I had 4 months off (beat that Crue True ), from late May to late September. Sadly, no contract for a Summer job. So I got temp work missions. Sometimes it lasted one week or two, some times it lasted 3 or 4 hours only. Various jobs I did : cleaning a metal factory (never breathed as much crap and overheated as much as that day), working in a food production factory, packing up cheap toys ( they sacked all three temp workers of us after 4 days, so much for the three weeks mission  ), checking up metal pieces for air bag generators before they'd go to the aforementioned factory, working in a wood accessories factory (they didn't keep me either ), then emptying trucks which contained mirrors or washbowls (you couldn't guess how heavy those are - that was on the Alpe d'Huez ITT afternoon, they phoned me at noon or so), then I worked two weeks as a road traffic sign guy, with a talkie-walkie, they were adding a macadam layer here and there and one of my fellow did the same as me on the other side. We let cars go, or stopped them.
Summer 2005 : busy searching a permanent job. Eventually found out early October, I've always been employed since then, though I changed from one job to another a couple of times.
Globally : Summer jobs, especially factory ones, make you meet and work with a lot of idiotic people. Those of them who managed to become smaller chiefs tend to act like real arseholes who consider you stupid. Sometimes it's not easy to cope, as you're educated, smarter, etc.

I'm just about to get a summer job, might work at a restaurant with a friend. But I'm really trying to save up for a car and NHL tickets.
Also kind of a weird thing but one of my friends works with a crackhead who was a back-up to Marty Turco (the NHL goalie) before the addiction took over. But he's been in rehab for a while.

Only one more day to sneak a Giro Spoiler into an unrelated topic.

I've been collecting my expectations from my posts in topics in a couple different forums over the last few months.
According to those posts I'm expecting a Contador victory, two of Antón/Rujano/Menchov on the podium, Kreuziger to disappoint and Lökfvist to not be anywhere near his top 5 goal.
Basically, what I'm curious about is:
- Who's gonna win red? Cavendish or Petacchi? Or a surprise third?
- Is Rujano coming back like me and ruben have spent the past few years saying he would?
- Is Menchov going to "show up" or do a disappearing act? You never know with him
- How well can Antón do?
On saturday I'll begin to slowly find out
