May 4, 200917 yr Okay, I'm getting off now, night. :nice: And psssst... Go look at the WoM section. :D
May 6, 200917 yr If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you But make allowance for their doubting too, If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream -- and not make dreams your master, If you can think -- and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breath a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!" If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings -- nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you; If all men count with you, but none too much, If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And -- which is more -- you'll be a Man, my son! (Rudyard Kipling)
May 6, 200917 yr Author I had to MEMORIZE that last year -_- It was SUCH a pain in the ass. It was such a pain in the ass, that... my ass is still sore from memorizing it. Yeah.
May 6, 200917 yr I think it sounds better in Serbian. Somehow it's more awesome. But anyway it's still awesome in English. I wouldn't mind memorizing it.
May 6, 200917 yr Author Serbian is a better language than English ANYWAY because it has those awesome squiggles over the zs and stuff. :P
May 7, 200917 yr Haha... yes, we have: đ ž ć č š But we don't have: q w y x There are a lot of other differences, of course. It annoys me that most of the kids use c instead of č and ć, z instead of ž and s instead of š when they're typing only because they're too lazy to change the language in the Language Bar to Serbian. That's okay only on MSN, even I do it there, because of fast typing etc. Also a whole bunch of kids use q, w, y and x while typing only to look cooler. WHICH IS STUPID.
May 7, 200917 yr Author Huh. I'm sorry that bothers you so much. also I am going to PUBLICALLY ANNOUNCE right now: EIGHTH GRADERS IN SERBIA ARE WAY SMARTER THAN FRESHMAN IN AMERICA, APPARENTLY. EXCEPT PERHAPS AT US HISTORY, AND POSSIBLY ENGLISH, NEITHER OF WHICH ARE REALLY FAIR SUBJECTS TO COMPARE OR ANYTHING. (PARTICULARLY AT THAT MATHY STUFF.)
May 7, 200917 yr :lol::lol::lol: Maybe our school programs are different, so you have a bunch of stupid essays to write and stuff like 15-pages-about-*insert something stupid here*. But we study more and we study harder things. That's what I think.
May 7, 200917 yr Author I agree. We do do a bunch of stupid essays. And we don't really... you know, study study. I mean, we DO stuff, but it isn't like we make REAL notes on a REAL text or do outlines or anything like that. Also, American teachers suck, because they have little incentive to NOT suck. (they have unions and stuff that mean even if you suck, you can basically go on sucking at teaching because... the unions have power like that.) Like, when we take notes in Bio, our teacher just makes us copy stuff she puts on an overhead, then DRAW PICTURES on the SIDE to "help us remember stuff." WTH? That is one of the WORST teaching strategies EVAR. Although NONE of the rest of our teachers suck ANYWHERE near as bad as that. Whatevers.
May 9, 200917 yr Author 90% of the posts I've made in the past few days are completely pointless also :D
