I'm free- free, at last! I've officially jacked in my dreaded-type university course and now I am FREE!!! (Well, for the two days before Addeco get me filing stuff, anyway.)

What shall I do now that I am free? Summer job suggestions? Pet projects (magickal or writey, maybe) that you think I might be able to help with? Anyone?

I really enjoyed working at a hospital - whether is part time pay work or volunteer, Im sure theres facilities that would be eager to have you help out. not only do you get to meet a lot of people there, but if you work with the patients you can do a lot of good

same thing with local shelters. a few years ago I found out there was a family crisis center just a few blocks from me and Id never known it (they deal with women and children in abusive situations, so they are understandably a bit secretive). its very rewarding to help in organizing drives for these places, or even giving some time or your skills - give someone a call, Im sure theyll be more than grateful for any assistance you could provide

Free huh?

Well around here, once somebody leaves school, they usually become an exotic dancer because they realize that their degree is worthless and will never make the money they want.

Pet projects are evil. Especially this one. You need to watch out for people suggesting you take part in their evil little pet projects.

Can you sing? And I mean sing in the loosest sense - can you make loud vocal noises into a microphone?

Trijhaos: I've been following the thread but having read the book, it's not quite where I want to be going at this point in time.

Saveloy: I can and do sing, asthma permitting. What had you in mind?

Not wanting to sidetrack the topic but just wondering where the term 5x5 comes from. I know what it means but why 5x5 and not 6x6???

we now return you to your regularly schedualed topic already in progress...

You've got me there... I mean, I know it's an aviation term and I know it signifies being okay after (or during) a rough patch, but as to the derivation, I'm stumped.

Um...I think it's the clarity and volume of a radio signal, both marked out of 5. So, a clear, loud signal is "five by five". I think it just generally means "good" - it's just that Faith usually used it slightly ironically after she had been beaten senseless.
