Holiday Withdrawl

Much like Con Withdrawl. A feeling of emptiness following any major holiday, mainly Halloween, Christmas, and in some cases Birthdays.

It's the second week of November but I'm still going through Holiday Withdrawl from Halloween. I know Xmas is coming up but that'll only end in holiday withdrawl as well.

withdrawn course

College term for a class that gets cancelled for a semester due to insufficient enrollment by the semester's start date.

This does not mean the college has removed the class altogether. They still plan to offer it in the future starting the next semester (assuming they meet the minimum required enrollment by the specified date).

Greg: So how's music theory going?

Tom: It became a withdrawn course after only five students signed up for it. I'll just try again next semester.

Youtube

The video sharing site that allows you to "broadcast yourself". Launched in 2005 and purchased by Google in 2006, the site was good until around late 2008/early 2009 when Youtube started acting more like a dictatorship, enforcing stupid copyright rules, forcing users to adapt to new designs and formats they don't want, eliminating user groups, and requiring users to sit through ads before letting them watch their video. If you are thinking of starting an account I urge you to reconsider. If you currently have an account, I would consider deleting it and not returning until Youtube agrees to return to the way things worked from around 2005-mid 2008.

Youtube has gone to hell since Google took over. They want to kick the everyday you and me users off the site and only allow popular people like Fred and Rebecca Black to post videos. To the YT heads, if you don't pay money, you aren't worth their time.
