There is actually a reason the school is doing that... Well, possibly... I know that over in the U.S., schools with higher GPAs and individual grades get more federal funding, assuming they're public schools. Anything the school can do to raise those GPAs will reward it with more federal funding, meaning the school can do much more, and possibly that the teachers will get a pay raise. That may very well be what your school is going for here. Trying to literally force everyone to have good grades in everything. Just a possible guess. |

If that was the case it would be a lot more harsher and have more of a consequence if you didn't come in the first place. With how it is now people don't even go to tutorials. If it was for GPA or something to that degree it would probably result in a suspension instead.
Pretty much I find it odd that teachers are about to give out tutorials for second languages. Nothing more. |

Because some people actually want to learn the language/pass the class, and tutorials are a nice thing to have for when/if they start struggling. |

The people who do want to learn the languages end up doing well over here. While there's a bunch of people who fail due to carelessness. |

That Dude, You Know, THAT Dude.

You know, I really need to stop reading game reviews from Metacritic. So many people on that damn site don't know how to structure a proper format. For instance, people writing negative reviews, I don't have a problem with that, it's just fine if you want to dislike something. You lose all credibility and respect from me though, the second you do things like this: -*I* think, in *my* personal opinion; No, this is a review, not a third grade essay. Didn't your English teacher ever tell you not to use, "I" or, "my" in persuasive writing? People don't care about what you think, they want to know about the game. - "....Lets be honest this game is mediocre. An up to date, well polished mediocre game. Oh and on the Xbox version at least it's bugged on a side quest, mother's instinct. It's not allowing the quest to be completed during the final dialogue phase. Enough said, sorry for rambling. BTW I wrote this on my Ipad, not intended to be a boast. I love it but want to say to Apple - I'm not buying a stupidly expensive additional keyboard to edit what I write just because you won't put some extra and obviously missing keys on the screen keypad. So sorry all for the mistakes! Enjoy." What? Do you think Apple is going to like, somehow reply to you on this site or something? This is not a review, it's a snippet if a giant rant. C'mon people a review is not a rant, quit acting like they're the same damn thing. My second complaint is that this guy gets off topic! We don't care about your iPad, nor do we care about your pet peeves or random issues with the game. On a site like Metacritic you shouldn't make giant single paragraph reviews either. Short and sweet is better than the intimidating wall of text you make. Text walls kill small children. Edited by KrazynessNetwork, Nov 23 2012, 03:12 PM.

They pulled all three Donkey Kong Country games from the Wii virtual console.... why the fuck. I already spent money with the intent to buy them as well.... grrr. Side note, if I was in Europe I'd be in luck. They don't get removed there till tomorrow. Edited by Silverpraetor, Nov 24 2012, 02:22 PM.

My guess would be that they're trying to get people to buy the Wii U by removing games from the Virtual Console. |

Fear my dinosaurness and my glasses-wearingness!!!

I'm just going to keep this vague for various embarrassing reasons. -inhales- THOSE STUPID LIARS! I hate them! The NEED to die, NOW!!! Treating me like poo behind my back and fooling me into thinking I was going to get killed! Idiots, idiots, IDIOTS! I should just take up hacking and show those so called "friends" how it feels to go through something traumatizing like that! It cost me my REPUTATION ON VE for crying out loud! Even now I'm still paranoid and i even know now that it was a prank that they'll probably even attempt to continue the next time I visit them (which I shall NEVER go back there for as long as I live!), the idiots, idiots, idiots! -exhales- 'Bout time I got that off my chest. |

On the S.S. Cool Dude

God dammit self, quit watching scary videos before you go to sleep. You know you're gonna get this badly freaked out, why do you do it? At this rate, I'm just gonna be up all night :/ I should say now have a major fear of getting nightmares even though I rarely ever get them, even when I'm more scared than this. This is a major reason why I'm terrified of sleeping, even though it barely happens, the thought of it happening is just enough to throw me off the edge. I'm also scared of not getting enough sleep, i.e. once I could barely sleep for 3 days for no reason (I had about 6 hours that whole time) and by the 3rd day I was having major panic attacks due to lack of sleep and eventually forced myself to sleep. I can handle 1 day of no sleep, although I am panicky and start timing how long I've been up and when I need to force myself sleep, in fact that's actually what I'm doing now. Overall: note to myself, just go to sleep the next time you find something creepy, even if it sounds cool and not scary at all. PLEASE. |
