Semester Quotations

I started out in pre-law. I was going to go to law school. And I saw a production of 'Tally's Folly' that spring term. I took a theater class that term and auditioned for 'Harvey' at the end of the summer, and I was in a play every semester after that.

I spent one semester in Air Force ROTC, as I wanted to be a pilot.

I would love for a regular student to have a student-athlete's schedule during the season for just one quarter or one semester and show me how you balance that. Show me how you would schedule your classes when you can't schedule classes from 2-to-6 o'clock on any given day.

The first time I set out to find George F. Kennan, in 1982, I had just turned 21, begun my final semester at Princeton University and noticed with astonishment that the senior thesis deadline had crept to within four months.

When my first semester grades came out, my mom and dad told me I wouldn't be playing football.

When I was a senior in high school, I went to Ireland to study Irish Gaelic. And after one semester at Trinity College, I went way out to the west coast of Ireland and rented a little house by myself.

My son was born during my last semester in college. His due date was Thanksgiving, but he didn't show up until finals week. I brought my books to the hospital and didn't think anything of it. That is what a father is supposed to do.

I was at the University of Miami, and I still had, like, a semester or so left. And through the film school, I found out that Al Gore was launching a new TV network; they were looking for passionate young storytellers to transform television, which was, like, ambiguous but magnificent-sounding.

I was taking a whole bunch of statistics and accounting courses, and I just hated it. I just wanted to figure out how I could do something within my major the next semester that I actually liked.

Let's assume you've taken 27 semester credit hours in the Fall and the spring - you need three hours to get to 30. If you get 3 hours during the Summer we'll rebate you $50 a semester credit hour so that we offset some of the cost you had to pay in the Fall and the Spring.

Last years number of international students was higher than the typical historical number. We were expecting five more international students last semester, but due to problems with their Visa they had to come one semester late.

She really needs the rest. We told her not to do anything for a month. Her body has just taken a kicking. I think she's in the best shape I've seen her in in the four years she's been here. She's really focused on her nutrition and her workout regiment. She has all that stuff in place, but yet you can't keep going at that level. It's really tough on her. So she's taking a rest so she can come back. We're thinking she should take most of the second semester off, but she said she's playing.

She went to Australia first semester (to study) and didn't come back with enough hours to be eligible.

We met two times each week last semester and once a week this semester, but each meeting lasts two to two-and-a-half hours.

From now to the first semester of 2006, our economy is still bumpy, thus the monetary sector would still be tight. After the first semester of 2006, the economy will start moving. We will see whether or not the tight monetary policy needs to be relaxed.

If anything, I think my grades will improve this semester. The classes I have here this semester are much easier than what I was taking at Xavier.

Basically, we have been practicing this whole semester for nothing. One incident has caused us to have to rework everything. We are going back to middle school stuff.

We told the kids we want to go from the outhouse to the penthouse. It's like a bad GPA. When you have a bad GPA, every semester you could knock the socks off and you're just going see it move a little bit.

We're on a re-route right now, but last we were informed, it's not an all semester deal, it's only temporary.

He did not past his test so he is not going to be with us right now. If he passes it, he is welcome to come on our program for a semester as a walk-on and we can put him on scholarship next year.

The people of Texas A&M and the community have accepted us with open arms, and when I say that, I'm not just talking about our team, but everyone in the Tulane family. We have all of our student-athletes here and enrolled and we are thankful to be here and begin the semester on the Texas A&M campus. Our thoughts and prayers, however, are with the city of New Orleans and our campus.

Look at Kyle missing the first semester and coming back and being able to play because of his basketball IQ. Shane has not been on campus the whole first semester, and has been able to come in and pick things up rather quickly.

Reasonable' probably doesn't mean if you were out a whole semester you make up a whole semester.

Last semester we had a full roster with 15 full-time, active members. This semester, I plan on being just as busy. We're hoping to do a 'support the troops' day. We've done it on other college campuses with great success.

Jen had a 4.0 for the past semester and that's just the latest example of what she's contributed to our program from a standpoint of the type of academic success we enjoyed as a team.

Out of 63 kids who had a fourth degree felony, three were thrown out of school, so the percentages were all in his favor. And he was thrown out for a semester for basketball. With that said, I didn't think he had a good game. I do think that things bother him.

Our second semester transfer signings went well - we offered five and got the five we wanted. They are a good fit for us, they are workers - we also needed the maturity that these veterans bring to the program. Our freshman class is rounding out to be a very versatile group. We have a good combination of athletic kids who move well and skill kids who will bring athleticism and speed to the program.

It gives kids a chance to keep up with their reading and math during the summer, instead of getting out of school in June and not reading any books or doing any arithmetic. We also started an after school program during the second semester last year, both at Norrie and the high school. Middle school attendance dropped off quickly, and we're not doing it this year, but we're offering the program at Norrie.

Most of the films I'm showing this semester are new releases on DVD, ... But I try to give a range of the current styles of independent filmmaking and international cinema.

Most of the films I'm showing this semester are new releases on DVD. But I try to give a range of the current styles of independent filmmaking and international cinema.

We've been guaranteed by the program that we will receive the credits we've expected by the end of the semester. But at this point, it seems like the semester is a lost cause.

We have to strive for the completion of legal and institutional facilities this year. I hope it can be completed in the first semester or the third quarter of 2006 at the latest.

We had high hopes for this semester with the core nine guys that we had. But based on the academic situation, it forces me to create a whole new offensive and defensive team.

We have 10 of these classrooms complete as of now, and we plan on having 10 more finished before the fall semester begins. These rooms will be able to record the audio of the lectures as well as the writings professors may make on the tablet computer so that they could be distributed to the students.

We're always doing something. We publicize every semester and every year. The representatives for center are sometimes advocating on the Set.

We agreed that we'll charge for space rent and they'll charge us for students in concurrent enrollment and at the end of the semester we'll balance the books, ... I'm sure we'll be within a few hundred dollars of one another. It's important to get back on an even keel and back where we should be for the benefit of our kids and their kids.

We send them all off with a workout plan. We hope they get out there and stay working out so that they are ready once the fall semester begins.

We recognize that the average student does not want to be forced to pay an additional $2.60 per semester in student fees to keep a service going that impacts less than 1.7 percent of the student body, or roughly 300 students. However, SGA also recognizes that however small this 1.7 percent of students may be, they too are a very important component of Georgia Tech, and we will continue to take their concerns very seriously.

We played a great first half. We have struggled in the second semester with our scoring and defense has been our whole focus. We came out and played great defense and our scoring was there.

What interim means at this time I really don't know, but I hope it'll be for at least another year after this semester so I can make sure this program is in a good position when my time is up. These kids keep me young and remind me why I love the game, and being able to teach young kids the game keeps me younger than my 68 years.

I'm fine I said for the 2,467th time this semester. (I know. I was keeping count)

We're going to enjoy a good semester or two of adequate parking at that time. We have ambitious plans to grow the university. So for the next five years or so, we're going to experience growth pains,

Until our administration puts more money into the (basketball) program, we are always going to have trouble with teams like Bakersfield. They have kids who come to school for one semester to play basketball, and that's not how we do it.

Each class represents a different challenge. For instance, this semester I have public speaking first block, an honors English class second block. and a standard English class during the fourth block, so I have students from all ability levels. Usually my kids are motivated, but if not, I do my best to.

At this point in the semester our students would have already been suspended outside of school 700 days.

Every semester my wife and I get together and develop a plan for the semester. We try our best to stick to that plan. If something unexpected comes up, we leave each other notes so we can know what each other is doing.

At the beginning of the semester I told the players that at mid-semester if the grades weren't good then there were going to be punishments. There's no reason for this to happen. We have study hall twice a week and a free tutoring service. I think a lot of the guys took it lightly and they got surprised.

I started toying with the concept of a northeast festival in November of 2004. I didn't talk seriously to anyone about it until January of 2005 I convened the first meeting of the festival team on the first reading day of last spring semester We actually met twice, summit-style, on each of the reading days. Our production team consists primarily of students, and we've been around the block with programming, both on- and off-campus, and we decided we could pull something together that was fantastic and do it right here in our backyard.

I've been trying since last semester to find a colleague to drive down with,

We've been playing pretty good defense lately. We seemed to have lost our defense after coming off the (holiday) break, but we have regained our confidence that we had before the semester ended. Now we just need to maintain it.

The suggestions provide framework of how to change our culture. We are going through semester plans and are trying to figure out how to use the suggestions.

The surgery he had last year was the second one he's had and it is just a problem. He is no longer playing. He's in school and he'll finish the semester but he just doesn't feel comfortable with the shoulder.

The semester break is a convenient time for families to move.

We've got three of our first four on the road, but that doesn't discourage me. I like getting the road games out prior to the semester starting. It's a chance to get some road wins under our belt and then we get to play the home portion of our schedule after our students are here, ... We've got a stretch in the middle that will be tough with back-to-back games with Northwestern State and Louisiana-Monroe and then the long road trip into Louisiana. That could be a really challenging time frame for us.

I've worked with students before who went off island for college and only were able to take it for a semester or so because they were in a culture shock. Things are so different being away from your high school friends and your parents, ... The shock is so great ... they come back home.

We had a good time last semester and are planning even more for the fall.

I wanted to do pre-med. The first semester it really didn't matter because you took a lot of general education requirements. But right after the first semester I kind of knew I wasn't cut out for that. I had very good grades but I somehow wasn't satisfied. Just having good grades and having it all go to medical school didn't make me happy.

With our semester break, we were off a little too long. But we had beaten Xavier. It was a good win to go into the break with. We didn't have a bad taste in our mouth. They were excited to come back, and I think it's given us some momentum.

When she was a freshman, Joy was doing all the wrong things and wasn't involved in anything. She was headed down the wrong path. I grabbed her in the middle of her freshman year and told her she needed to play basketball. Since then, it's been a complete turnaround. She didn't start playing basketball until the second semester of her sophomore year, but she's been doing all the right things since then.

During my senior year, I was supposed to spend a semester student teaching, but decided I couldn't be a teacher. My aunt Beth's friend was Jackie Gleason's daughter, Linda Miller. She encouraged me to talk to her. After doing that, she recommended Catholic University's M.F.A. acting program. So that's what I did.

Ali has been so consistent all season long. She has put together some really good scores this semester and to see her come back today and move up in this tournament was really exciting.

Sometimes it might be just as valuable to stay an extra semester to take some of those skill-based courses or take advantage of that really great internship - experiences that they'll need in the job market.

First semester there were some difficulties, of course, but all transfer students have that adjustment period. But after that period, everything went a lot more smoothly. Doing well in class and such. And my age was never an issue.

The PPL program has missed Professor Arthur's guidance. Many students over the course of this semester have approached us to express their wishes for his recovery. Students have also expressed their hope to take a course from him next year. The strong and supportive student response is a testament to Professor Arthur's dedication and work as a teacher and advisor to so many students.

This semester has been worse than other semesters. I am a senior taking three 400 level math classes, so I cannot predict when I will be in.

I usually have rough time in the fall and swim a lot better second semester and I've been gradually dropping times to where I want them.

This is absolutely inexcusable and totally incomprehensible. College management announced their Semester Completion Strategies 12 days ago. It certainly calls into question their competence if, after 12 days of planning, they can't have the colleges up and running on Monday.

This is the first semester for Wellness Wednesdays. They will run every other Wednesday.

This is the first time in 28 years as a head coach I've lost a player halfway through the season. It's something that I personally take responsibility for. I feel bad about it. My job now is to make sure that Chris does a good job in school this semester and is successful with whatever he wants to do after school is out.

I've had teachers come up to me and keep track on a semester basis making sure that I want to stick with the major.

I'll ask buddies that had the class before if you don't really use the book, how the professor is. Sometimes Ill wait until I have to buy the book later in the semester or if I don't have to. But you have to buy it if you have to have it.

I'm actually figuring I'll be a semester ahead. The education program at Eastern is five years and I'll be done in four and a half.

I knew last semester that I was going to be on the committee this fall, so I came up with an idea over the summer.

I'm 19 now, and I go to The New School in New York, where I study Criminal Psychology. My first week of second semester was during Fashion Week when my first editorials in 'CR Fashion Book' and 'Sports Illustrated' came out. It was crazy!

If you don't sign those guys on signing day and another team does, they will have a much better chance of having them in one semester from now. It's not a binding situation. It's a relationship thing.

I've improved my golf over the past year and a half. Every semester it has gotten better. It's a shame I have to leave on May 28.

I'm not going to return to UND for my last semester because of this.

I want to see how they do first semester of their senior year. That is huge. We've had guys we really liked, but then we find out mid-semester there's no way they're going to (qualify).

It's our anticipation that we will be at 11.7 or below when next spring semester starts.

It's been pretty easy adjusting to the college life. I went to school for the first semester in Pennsylvania so I got real used to the academic perspective of it and it took me no time to get used to living up here. There are a lot of good people so it's been an awesome transition.

That's concerning to me. We held out a couple of scholarships and we're going to wait until the end of the next semester to see what happens. You know, when these kids go through the spring, some of them don't like their situations and some of them won't make it because of grades. Hopefully, we can pick up one or two guys that way. We sure need to.

The fall semester is still a long way off though, so Professor Arthur will not be fully deciding about his return until the summer. However, he is enthusiastic and hopeful.

It's been very overwhelming, yet nice to know that other researchers here at ISU are willing to work with me on a multitude of projects. This semester I am hoping to get more extension and research focus, in addition to the teaching I did first semester.

It takes a lot of groundwork that may have been laid last semester and hopefully we'll see progress on things this semester.

They are like brothers. They have been forever. I don't know that you would ever find them apart for long enough to get a college semester in.

If you're taking fewer semester credit hours than would allow you to graduate on time, in other words if you're taking 12, 13 or 14 hours there's going to be a penalty, you're going to have to pay more.

I just finished a course in Patient Counseling last semester and it prepared me very well for this competition. The faculty and staff here are top-notch. My goal was to relax, enjoy the experience, and learn something from the competition so that I might be able to better compete in following years.

In the past five years the class has been full practically every semester, ... I think there was only one semester when we didn't have enough students.

He's shown in a lot of areas how he's matured. You see him in the halls, you watch his focus in the classroom. He's coming off his best semester ever academically. He gets it now. It's one of those intangible rewards you get as a teacher or coach when you see a young man and the light bulb turns on.

I played the guitar in ninth grade. My sister's friend went on a semester abroad, and she left the guitar at our house for nine months.

He's one of those kids that (shoots) it from odd spots, but (it goes) crossbar and in. He's a goal scorer. He's capable of scoring goals in bunches. For the majority of this second semester what I've seen from Andy Cote is I've seen him every day with a smile on his face, moving his feet, and he wants to be on the ice. He wants to get double shifted; that looks like a (player) to me that's hungry.

I didn't think we played very physical on our front line. At Baytown Lee we really were physical. Hopefully, we can get some guys in - some walk-ons starting the second semester - so we can have a full practice.

The business is doing really well. Each semester my customer base almost doubles.

The great thing about the fall semester coming up is that we are going to award a minimum of 100 new scholarships to students." ()

You know, once you are done with college, you don't have a free week every semester to just go out and help people. Doing this now is a great opportunity.

It started out as a group of about seven of us. This semester I think we're up to about 30. For me, it's a chance to fellowship with my friends since it's something we've all got in common. It's also fun because it doesn't really matter how many times you win or lose, there's always something fun going on during the game.

A student would take a semester off to work for an engineer and gain an understanding of particular companies.

This past year in the fall semester I hit the schools hard to force the students to apply.

We spent all spring without Andrea Rice and Noelle Tyre because they spent the semester studying abroad, so their personalities and talent back in the lineup will help a lot. We are looking for Sarah Stock to have a big year she scored some very important goals last season.

It was the most crazy semester I've ever had. I did learn a lot about time management and work ethic, though. I took classes in the morning, at night and online. It was entertaining, I'm sure, to watch me juggle everything like a circus monkey.
