Yes

Yes indeed.

Indeed,

Also Jedi, Ill be getting Broadband again soon, after schools over incedently

Just you wait till you go to university. First, you'll start sleeping less. Then, after a while, you'll be happy if your breath doesn't stink. In your second year, well, value village has got some pretty snazzy stuff. It's about this time that your sanity will start to loose grip. You'll also be so pressed for time that you'll have to miss sleeping every third or forth day, but you usually don't end up doing anything anyway. It's the effort that counts. Since you need so much time to relax, you'll start to speak and walk faster. About midway through your second year, you'll notice that you've started to drop the first and last letters from *every* word while talking. Somehow, your friends can understand you. Wearing the same clothes for a week straight isn't really that bad. You know several spots on campus to sleep at night, and you don't live in the residence. You aquire a access to food, 'cause, you know, your hungry. After an adventure, you might need to go to the ER, for, you know, supplies. You can skip a whole 4 hour wait just by showing a little blood. In a pinch, salt in viniger can steralize wounds. 1 point if you don't pass out, and 4 more if you can do it without screaming. Taking notes without being awake becomes not just an ability, but a talent. And finaly, it's fun as hell once you get rid of all those standards society sets up for you, and start to ignore moral prejeduce. As said by Mason, on the cult classic, Dead Like Me, you can find out what a stress relief petty larceny can be.

Being nearly halfway into my second year in university... I recognise these things from my own life.

Yup, it's the truth.

Oh, it's 5 in the morning already?

I've still got to see most of it (started my first year) - but I can agree on the no-time-to-sleep-or-eat part. It's rather scary to think I thought I was dreadfully busy last year. On the other hand, now I could be less busy if I planned my schedule otherwise. So now it's just my own fault if I have no time, and it's definitely not making it any better .

No, seriously. School is good for you. *cough*

I hate school because everything is so dang easy. 9th grade is too easy Why are they wasting my time?!

Ahhh university, it's my first year so I'm still innocent, perhaps I'll be just like that after a few months/years

But yeah, school ain't so bad, university's better tho

I know school isn't so bad, it was before, but not now Maybe school sucks because you dont have so good social skills?

I totaly agree that school sucks. School is like hell to me. But actulay the biggest problem for me is that there are some subjects that do not interest me. And there is also to much homework. If I didn't had so much homework I could spend more time in making D-Mods. Not that anyone cares about this but I just want to say that school is AAAAAARGHHH GRRRR WAAAHRG but it would be no broblem to me if it would be more usefull. But it would be no broblem to me next year because I can choose my subjects then so that there are only interesting subjects left. But for now school is hell and takes too much time.

Here in Romania, all the teachers are protesting and today is a week since we last go to school. It's great people!
Since I live at countryside, I had to wake up every morning at 6:30 a.m. , catch a stupid, old, dusty, dirty bus(most of the time I have to wait for it more than 10 min in the bus station, and the winter is really cold) and travell 8km every day. The school is really boring, 'cause I don't care about a lot of subjects, but we have to do them.
But for the moment, I'm free because the guvernment won't give more cash to the teachers, so they won't return to school soon. Isn't this wonderfull?

8 km by bus is easy, I had to travel 1 hour by bicycle to get there and 1 hour to get back home, but now I have a card so I can use all public transport in the country for free

School sucks for the sole reason I have 5 school projects running at the same time, while I only had one a week ago. Boo. Hiss.

The school friends and extra stuff make things more fun, though.

I was just going to suggest that he do the same thing, as unless he's the last stop on the bus, biking would probably be quicker, like it was for me. Plus, you don't have to deal with idiots.

You need to be of a certian kind of person to really stick with it I've found. I mean, not many people are going to get out in 40 below weather, put a little light oil on the chain, and go for a rip down to the uni.

I had 5 school projects running at the same time multiple times. For now though life's pretty calm since I just started on the second period of school. (Guess I have to start working on that assignment that I had to finish before October 23rd... )

For you (incl. me) celsius people, he is talking about below approx. 5˚C.

I hate busses, I hate them, HATE THEM, HATE THEM. Polluting fellows... Bikes rules

Edit: CURSE THE SWEAR FILTER, translates b.astard into fellow

Yes, the swear filter is awesome like that.

Um... You do know that I meant -40, right?

A nice workaround for that problem: Expand upon your vocabulary

How cool is that, Celsius and Fahrenheit match at exactly -40! Would've never found out if it weren't for the Dink Forums, #1 in science education worldwide..

t(F)=(9/5)*t(C)+32, if I remember correctly.
(9/5)*(-40)+32=-40. Hmmm... nice.

I am attending a junior college at the moment (or whats left of it) but I did recently get a letter from USM wanting to interview me for their polymer sciences department... The recruiter said that after graduation there is a job waiting and a starting 6 figure salary...now all I have to do is get interviewed a couple hundred times and... maybe I will get some free food out of it?...we can only hope for the best

From what I gather, most (military) recruiters will tell you anything you want to hear. I'm not saying that they always lie to you, but don't take what they say at face value.

I'm 12 and about to move to the upper classes. (I don't know if it's the same in America and other countries, but we go to the upper classes when we're about 13.)
I am rather pumped up. A new school, new people in it- some people, though, say "Poor Lauri. He's going to the upper classes where a new school with new people in it awaits". But not the same with me. Leaving "my friends" doesn't matter me, as I'm an autist. Some people just don't seem to get it that you won't die even if you haven't been friends with anybody. The only thing that's worrying me is that I HAVE TO TRAVEL 50 KILOMETERS! That just doesn't make sense to me. 50 km? Boy I'll die. Taking into account that I have to wake up a hour earlier than now. But, on the other hand, I can break "the unofficial rules made by rapmen" quite a bit. My style differs completely from the original people who I call "clones" as they are almost identical. Each one wears clothes the same (they don't share their clothes!). But not me. Ha.

Hey, that was my longest post so far!

Okay, stop it with the necromancy, please?

well now think if there was no school we would all be stupid i doubt we would know proper grammer for that matter. anyway yes school can be harsh or hard but it will pay off soon enough

School can be a pain in the ***, but if it wasn't there we would all be stupid.

We would be much smarter if school worked correctly (I wouldn't make any grammar or spelling mistakes for example) and for me school doesn't works correctly at all. That also has to do with that I'm autistic (Yes Vukodlak same problem here). Because the school doesn't do what it's suposed to do I started to learn about programming. I'm realy interested in it but the school doesn't give that subject in my grade. (but next year they will I hope it works correctly. In my opinion ).

"Yes Vukodlak same problem here"

I don't imagine autism a "problem" anyway... more as a gift to IMPRESS my classmates and teachers. But I just don't know WHERE do I need the knowladge of allatives and partitives and pronomines in mother tongue... they often turn out to be useful only in exams.

WHOOPS!! Perhaps I should know what a word means before I post it! Oh well, the word "amuse" is fixed now to "impress"... phew...

italian schools suck tooooo
