Welcome to Gaia! ::

FIFTY?? LUCKYYYY!! D:

HAHAHA! Haaa, that was hilarious. It was a very interesting story you told us.

Hrm. A D for us is between a sixty and seventy.

Man, you guys are so lucky. I'd give anything to pass with a fifty. Isn't it so much better? It must be so awesome.

I've never failed anything so it never mattered much to me. My average mark was above 80 most of the time. I kicked myself if it was less than that.


Deimos, what was it you wanted me to tell Isaac from you? That he is a 'dirty liberal b*****d'?
I'll write it on his door. He won't know what the hell's going on, which'll make it all that much more hilarious.

Dispose of it properly when the time comes. Personally though, I like the idea of that setup. One of the labs I learn in has a 19"CRT (17" viewable) and a 17"LCD per computer. :] Very nice indizzle.

I prefer to use the gizmotron 4500 mk.12, complete with the acceleronamizer deluxe turbo drive and plutonium power-pack energizerator 4th edition. cool

Mindless ranting time!

Last Friday afternoon, after a particularly frustrating cooking class, I found myself talking to myself on the walk home. Normally, I would do this in a low whisper, but I was actually talking aloud, complaining about the last two hours of school. I have never indulged in self-monolouge such as that in my life, and the experience was somewhat unpleasent. After analyizing what I had said, I came to the cause.

Almost everyone in my cooking class is an apathetic b*****d. Or retarted. Possibly both.

Let's get up to speed: this is the 3rd time in a row I have had this class. I would be in Culinary Arts, if it hadn't been cancelled due to lack of qualified people. So, I (and anyone else who signed up for it) got stuck on the bottom again. Last year, I didn't mind, because I had people with experience in cooking. People who wanted a career, as I do, in the culinary field and actually came to learn. The people in my class now are only there because of the easy marks. They have little experience and don't seem to care about getting any.

It's not the inexperience that got to me, but the over all apathy. These people just don't care. For example, Friday we made Chicken Fajiatas. The one other people in my group who DID cook (the other two just sat there, claiming they couldn't help) didn't even read the recipe. He just went his own way. If I wasn't in that group, then they wouldn't have even gotten to eat the food, let alone get out of the class on time. Today, we made pizza pretzels. Everytime I asked someone to do something they either got pissed off or did a half-assed job (more often than not it was both).

I know I shouldn't be frustrated, because I was once an inexperienced noob myself. But if these people showed even a little desire to learn, then maybe we would be getting somewhere.

And BAM.

I put my own neck on the line all the time for my friends, when it's for schoolwork. I have this one friend that I'm really close to, and I've devoted entire nights to helping her finish projects when I knew I had to do my own for the next day. Helping her to study for stuff, too. Of course, then I fall behind. Further and further behind. Until it's been weeks. A month, three times.

And I often end up being the one doing all the work in group projects, too. You're not alone, Shaz.

More than half, that's a little scary.
