Winter break for universities are to long. That's hard to say as I am college student, but it's true.
There's nothing going on in the poorest county in the state of VA. I can't get any seasonal work because there is no seasonal work. I have enjoyed spending time with my brother/girlfriend/bestfriends but my brother is back in Richmond working, my girlfriend had to start back in her nursing program this week, and one of my best-friends is in New York working with a firm he did an internship with over the summer.
I would be down to cut winter break 10 days short and add it to Summer.
college me would have agreed. I lived in a sorority, which closed during breaks, so I had to go live at home for 3+ weeks. I hated it. and none of my friends from home were ever around so it was boring as all hell.

I can't say this is true for all schools but here it's 4 weeks because that's the shortest time they can squeeze in another session of classes. The University here makes big money on their Winter session classes because they are mostly already created online classes that you can put 200-500 people in and only have one Graduate Assistant who makes sure the class website is setup right and answers questions.
Ours is 5 weeks. I don't believe we do much over winter classes. Two Novembers in a row I checked to see if there were any classes available to help me graduate faster and had no luck. I may have to head back next week for preparation to work under a professor for the spring semester. I've emailed the department I am working in twice this week and nobody has got back to me, and tried calling yesterday and got the voice-mail.

We have very few Winter Session upper division classes. It's mostly Freshmen or Sophomores that need to get their GPA up for scholarships or to get out of academic probation
My winter break project has been watching the Sopranos and I only have a couple episodes left. I was leaning towards it being my favorite TV show ever and the music is a big part of it and then I hit a favorite Lucinda Williams song and a favorite Calexico song in one fucking episode.
Nice! I'm watching it through with my wife, its her first time and we're 4 episodes in to season 6. The last 3-4 episodes of the series are amazing. I'm excited for you to reach the end.

Pretty similar situation for myself. Not involved in greek life, but the friends I hangout with the most has became friends i have made at school. I don't think any are heading back until next weekend. Only one of my good friends from high-school is around right now and we have hung out non-stop for the past few weeks.

Would love to hear your thoughts on the show overall and what scenes/storylines/characters you liked and didn't like when you're finished.
Just keep it spoilered because I plan on watching this one this year. Made it through the first 2.5 seasons twice and never finished it.
Edit: unless it has its own thread, then I just won't go in there lol.

I work at a university, and I love it when all you quackers are gone. the gym is empty. the malls are clear, the coffee shops don't have lines. don't have to fight for parking. i've said it before, college is awesome when there aren't any college kids.
I think I might be in love. There is a steakhouse in my office building that I frequent after work. I tend to be a very good tipper and this has led to me getting a fair amount of free drinks. No big deal, happens to people at bars all across the country. This week has been a whole different ballgame. They will deliver lunch to your office if you call downstairs. The last 3 days my favorite bartender has brought me my salad with shots of whiskey poured in the small dressing containers. Pretty easy way to my heart.

Sopranos is totally 3 acts.
Seasons 1-2 Seasons 3-4 Seasons 5-6
Each season has its own feel but most of the major arcs can be divided this way (with one big exception). Watching them now I'd rank the seasons:
6b (from memory) 3 5 6a 4 2 1
But the reason I love the Sopranos comes as much from the way the story is told as the characters themselves. The show went from 50% drama - 50% comedy to a bleak look at being dissatisfied with life in the modern world. It's so artfully shot and has so many layers of character development, symbolism and commentary that it rewards repeat viewings. I've been following along with the avclub.com reviews of each episode as I go, and there's stuff I still don't pick up and this is either my 3rd or 4th time through.
Also Tony Soprano is the GOAT tv character in my opinion. Not because he's likable. He actually becomes pretty much the worst human being possible. But for the ability of the audience to get inside his head and even understand the terrible decisions he makes, its never been done before. Carmela and Christopher are probably the next two best behind him.
If you had to watch one episode to convince yourself the show was worth watching, I'd go with either Season 3's Pine Barrens or Season 5's Irregular Around the Margins. Love both of these.

I like being where I go to school at in the summer. We are two miles away from access to a river, no traffic, not that crowded at the bars, and there is still people around that I know (usually at least). During winter break where I go to school, it's a ghost town. Found that out two years ago.

That's one of the ones I remember - it's the one with the Eastern European guy chasing them around and then the car dies or they get locked out or something like that? That was a good episode.
Now that I think about it, I might have finished season three. It's been almost a decade or so since I've tried so I'm not quite sure. Good to know that the later seasons keep getting better though.
soooo... both nickelback and pitbull are playing shows coming up at the target center. the biggest venue in minneapolis.
oh how I wish I could still get free tickets to things at the target center. I would get so drunk. I'm dying over the thought of either of these shows. I would just really love to observe the crowd to see what kind of people actually show up for this shit.

Congrats: I never would have thought anyone could say anything to make me want to see Nickleback or Pitbull less - then you pull this 'playing at the Target Center' sh!t. It may be the biggest concert venue in Minneapolis, but it's gotta be the worst in the TCMA.

KDWB and 93X gonna be givin away a buttload of tickets is my guess. (I actually haven't listened to either of those stations for a minute - they still terrible, right?)

you should check out the new 96.3 actually pretty good selection. heard sublime---->arctic monkeys on the way home work work the other day, can't complain

no clue. I don't even listen to the current anymore because half the shit they play either sucks or it's some shit the DJs have a boner over that's not any good. ie some terrible jenny lewis song they were playing at least twice a day a couple months back.
Nice! I'm watching it through with my wife, its her first time and we're 4 episodes in to season 6. The last 3-4 episodes of the series are amazing. I'm excited for you to reach the end.
2015 will be the year I do the Wire.
i've thoroughly enjoyed the wire
for the die hards:
4 3 1 2
YOU STARTED!!!! I just finished s4, I'm 3 or 5 episodes into s5, I forget how many. My ranking is exactly the same. We'll see where 5 fits in.

I saw they (96.3) changed their format...again, this time to rock. But, the commercials get to me too much.
89.3 The Current is it for me - no loud ads for male enhancement or dating sites; hit songs are only played four times a day; great variety in both genres and epochs in music; sponsored events; etc. You can hear RTJ into Spoon into David Bowie into Hank Williams Sr into Arctic Monkeys into Fatboy Slim into Courtney Barnett into Caribou into Mars Volta into Bessie Smith into Prince...
My only complaint is they are biased against most hip hop, jammy, or metal acts. You can still catch them on the programmed shows, but as they are not in the free play hours I am probably missing out on something.

Their morning show is the worst for that. I don't bother with it during those hours.

i'm a 93x'er for morning show, josh/nick are hilarious. but i usually listen for 40 min total, 6:40 sports break, 7:40 sports break with randy shaver
