It is like you wish you were a mod, but you aren't. I suggest you stop trying and you know, let the mods handle things if they find them to be an issue.

I agree.

And I really wish that students would learn to flush the toilet after they evacuate their bowels, it's not a nice smell which they leave behind, nor is it a nice sight. In the past week I've seen 6 people who left their turds in there, 1 who almost blocked it with bloodied tissues (didn't flush it so not to block it), and 1 who just blocked it for a joke... And I've also seen energy drink cans in there. :rolleyes: Stupid students.

I can count the number of times I've went to the bathroom at school since 1st grade with one hand. I went in there once, was greeted with a sticky, slippery, stinky mess, and I knew to never go in there again. Tried it again in Middle School to no avail, and now I know better not to dare venture into the bathrooms this year. :dunce:

No, it really isn't a flexible rule. A person isn't an object. It's a who. I'm not talking about the beginning of sentences, it's any time. I guess I'm just one of those strict people.

Strictly following rules simple forces a style that my not always be appropriate. My writing has always been praised by professors, and I passed my 400 level classes with little issue regarding the topic. Generally, there are no absolute rules in anything, provided you still make sense and it flows reasonably.

I use my foot to push up the seat, and the end of my jersey to touch the door and flush button. Followed by immense hand washing, I mean I'm not a hygiene nut but the school's toilets always end up looking gross in the first hour of the school day.

I'm trying to figure out whether I should go back to school next year. I could get a job and get income if I don't, but deep down I just really want to go back to do music and try to get more qualifications. My parents don't like the idea of going back but I think it's a good idea. I have a lot to learn and I can learn it in that one school year.

What does everyone else learn in history? Some of the stuff I learned about was the French Revolution, the assassination of JFK, WWI, the rise to power of Hitler; it was all the real juicy stuff :D

For us the JFK assassination has only been barely, if at all, covered. ;)

It's been about Europe near exclusively.
 
Small history test went fine even without revision, seems I'd absorbed all the information in past lessons anyway... however I was never told of the Spanish test :grumpy:
Also turns out now I've moved down in maths it actually means 10 minutes of work then wait the rest of the lesson for everyone else to finish it while writing song lyrics on my hand :lol:
 
I went to an art gallery today in Liverpool with school. I'm astounded as to how some of the work there is classed as 'art'.

It can't be worse than this 'statue' by where I work. It's horrendously ugly and now whenever I go to work, I have to see this stupid thing. It's like a giant piece of metal with rocks around it and like an anchor in front of it.

But anyways, I wanted to just bash my face onto my desk I geometry. It blows my mind how stupid people there are. Hardly anybody could figure out 90-77. Let's hear it for public education!

Oh god not abstract art! I could make that using a bucket of Dulux and a wall :lol:

Some of these modern 'artists' don't know the difference between abstract and the contents of a recycling bin.

One of the 'artworks' in the gallery was a few overalls on coathangers. That was all. How the hell has that been sold to a gallery? Maybe I should go take my clothes down to the local gallery and see how much they buy them for if I tell them they're 'modern' and 'abstract'.
 
Do we remember that massive hollow metal cube that was in an art exhibition, I heard about it on Russell Howard's Good News.

But you see, you have to have a ton of symbolism as well.
You can't just have a coat hanger. The coat hanger must represent your teenage fury, and the clothes must represent a trusted friend who wronged you, you see what I mean? I'm gonna scribble on a piece of paper and sell it as teenage angst. :dopey:
 
Apparently in order to be graded on having YOUR OWN ****ING FLASHCARD FOR YOUR ****ING USE they better not be cut into 4, 3rd's is the maximum for 1 word and a 3 word definition on the back.

Or it could be a representation of the increasing tendency for blue collar workers losing their jobs to increasingly efficient automation?

I have friends that do abstract art and considerably more thought goes into it than most people realize. Problem, I find, is people generally want the subject to be clear cut and straight forward, rather than think about what the artist may have been trying to express or even their own feelings seeing the piece.
 
I've got a chemistry test today, though its just a reminder test from lots of stuff we covered last year, so I haven't bothered revising. A few people have done it, and it sounds pretty easy, so I'm confident about my chances.

I remember seeing an artwork (not made by any of the staff or students) in an art room once and it was just a canvas painted orange :confused: The only distinct feature you could see were the brushstrokes.
 
Got 12% in a Irish test today.. You can see I really studied, but since only 2 people passed I'm not too disappointed :dopey:
 
Day was going great until lunch. A couple of my friends decided to hide our other friends stuff and I'm the one that took the IPod. Forgot I still had the IPod in my pocket so now I have a white girly IPod in my schoolbag. Going to give it back on Monday (different lunch time tomorrow). Hopefully all goes well. I only got 1 question wrong on my English test :)
 
Apparently, two students got into a fight. Something happened to one of their eyes, but they seemed ok. Then, later during that class, the injured student passed out and they had to call an ambulance. This is what I heard at least.
 
The kids around my school are not very good drivers. Either that, or they have a little too much faith in their abilities.
Today, it was the annoyed Xterra full of guys who hastily overtook us in a school zone. Last week, it was the annoyed Accord full of guys who hastily overtook us (and glared) in the same spot. Though, I'm giving the Accord the benefit of the doubt; I think his buddies had something to do with it, as I saw the kid driving alone and he seemed to be much calmer. Before that, there was the Yukon XL, and you bet, full of guys, that decided it was a Mini and braked late into a corner and leaned heavily into it. Earlier that week, it was the douchebag in the Hummer H3 that overtook an Avalon so hastily, that you could see it getting skittish over the bumps in the road. It's not just the way they drive, either. There's also those annoying idiots who like to rattle everyone else's fillings loose with their bass. Yesterday, it was a bunch of idiots standing around a Titan, just enjoying the Earth-shattering capabilities of their stereo. At least once a week, a dumbass in a baby blue Scion likes to test his bass out in the line of cars in front of the school.
I don't think a lot of these people should have cars. :yuck:

Yay for the first time it's not the Asians that are the bad drivers!
 
:( Was the thing any good? Did you stay for the speech?

In our school both people involved get escorted out by security.
 
Someone in my grade that went to my school died last night. I heard it may have been a suicide but I have no confirmation. I didn't know her but it's very sad, and if it was a suicide, that makes it worse because someone always misses you.
