AIJ - many people don't ever get to travel overseas in their life, let alone when they are still in school. I never went on the overseas trips that my school offered, and it didn't change much in the long run. Whilst it mught suck right now, in a month/year it wont seem like nearly as big deal

I also question how it is $7000... our school trips were much cheaper and one was for 4 or 5 weeks! You'll be able to travel much cheaper than that after school when you can plan thigns yourself

I suppose so...oh well. I will still try for this one. See how it goes.

Europe, one day you'll be mine...

[MTS]

6 a.m. flight, and the fact I have to get up for it in...4 hours and 27 minutes.

WHY AM I STILL AWAKE

[Tattersail_]

cause when you close your eyes, freddies goin to get ya!

[frookenhauer]

waiting...sucks

[Macros]

My work and flatmates.
The level of ignorance they display boggles the mind.

Afew facts today gained fromth em attmepting to slag me off for being a sally rod. Now bear in mind, when we start for as bit of craic i'll hit them with something remotely based on fact, knowing that I'm blowing it way out of proportion or twisting it to wind them up. Their rebutals they actually think are accurate.

I over bent a bit of pipe and said "fuck, made a mistake"
que idiot 1 - "Aha, you made the biggest mistake being a prod!"
"why?"
"followin a religion started by a pervert who kills his wives"
"what?"
"Henry whatever, started the prodestants cause he wanted a divorce, then chopped her head of"
~Falmpalm~ "You do realise that I'm a Presbyterian, which is loosely Calvinist, and has nothing to do with the church of England, and that protestantism did in fact start somewhere in what is now Germany?"
"No it didn't, how did it, Germans aren't prods."


There was another issue with Centurion, which led to them cursing the romans as invading bastards, which I countered with (obviously) if it wasn't for the romans, they wouldn't have heard about jesus.
HOW?
uh, StPatrick, you know the guy you're all told brought Catholicism to Ireland
what the fuck is catholicism?
oh god, I had to just walk away at that point

[frookenhauer]

took me a while to figure it out...I read it backward in the end and it made sense. Surrounded by cretins?

[Adjutant Stormy~]

People are fucking stupid.

[Tsundoku]

Maybe they're just better at winding you up than you realise

[Macros]

No, they just did not soak any knowledge in history at school at all. Their wind ups are a bit less subtle.
'well you should be kicked off your land, its stolen'
'your point being?'
'uh, fuckin prod, black bastard'
'go and pay your taxes to hrmc or we'll set the bailif on you'
-splutter- mumble- 'whatever'

[Adjutant Stormy~]

If you murdered them all, you'd be doing a favor to the rest of us.

[Gothos]

I had a nightmare where I posted on the main forums with my MAFIA alt and Path-Shaper modkilled me. Over and over again. Argh.

[Tattersail_]

i had a nightmare that a HIPPO was chasing me through the jungle and no matter how fast I ran, how great I swam or how amazing I hid the hippo would find me and I would have to try and get away again!

[Ember]

I know I should go to bed but I DON'T WANNA.

My sleep pattern is fuckulated.

[Tiste Simeon]

Well... I have a lot of stuff to do because I'm away for the weekend but I'm sat here dossing around... I know I'm going to regret this when I should be going to bed and I'm still sorting everything out!

But so many of my friends have already travelled around the world, and I haven't set one foot off this continent. We are a big family so it's not that easy, but I'm getting so frustrated. I plan to travel when school is done, whether I go this time or not.

Given the enormous amount of interesting things to do and places to go in Australia, I would think that spending a decade exploring Australia would be viable. Explore your own country. See the penguins on the southern beaches, snorkel the Great Barrier Reef, learn how to surf, chase a few wallabies, look out at the desert from Ayers Rock, learn how to handle yourself alone in cities that aren't super far from family and friends.

Relax. Don't see it as "They get to do this and I don't." You can and probably will get more experience exploring Australia by yourself or with a long leash than they will, shuffling along the predetermined tour route. And it won't cost fuckin' $7000. Or maybe it will, but spread out over way more activities and time.

I've been all over the world and it honestly didn't get all that great until I was old enough and smart enough to kick out on my own for long periods of time. And being of age to drink and have some romantic fun help the experiences get way more awesome.

[Adjutant Stormy~]

I have to go take a midterm for my quantum computing class, a class that is so far out there, that we've made almost no progress whatsoever so far.

Everyone in the class is always so confused that the professor covers an amount of material in an hour and a half lecture that I could explain in 5 minutes. So I have no idea what the midterm could possibly be covering...

[Corporal Nobbs]

Someone neg repped me!
I feel dirty and ashamed.

[HoosierDaddy]

Countered.

Yeah...I suppose one reason Oz seems so boring is because I'm always hampered by my family, who never want to do anything new. Thanks for the advice phib.

[Mentalist]

I went out on Thiursday night, and drank fairly much. I have class tomorrow morning, that I will probably be slightly hung over for. then I also have to fly home.

I had my reasons for going tonight, and it's like the goals were partially achieved.

but i'm not sure about the whole situation.

Confusion is a novel feeling. and it's mightily irritating.
