I might... but I need to illegally get that far into the teacher's room again, and that seems unlikely. It expresses the "love" part of my love-hate relationship with words really well though. Or I might investigate what the name is, at some later point... when I'm not supposed to be doing a powerpoint thingie for class, for example, would be a good time. What is O-week?

O-week = Orientation week. Pretty much "come to the uni now and see how much stuff you can do". So lots of stuff like club days, markets....
SO what is your love-hate relationship with words?

I love words but I also hate them. I hate them because I often have trouble expressing myself... and I love them because they can be so beautiful. They can express so many things... I'm having trouble saying exactly what I mean . I wanna go to Uni...

I think I just have a general dislike of words - number are far more precise
You can come to uni with me - Computer Science 103, 12.30 next monday

Yes, numbers are great. I have often said I'd much rather use those to communicate... especially after misunderstandings or frustrations with words. But I still like words... they just have something that numbers don't. But numbers and maths language in general are beautiful and precise and awesome.
no no... too soon.. I should probably graduate first, no?

it might be an idea to graduate first - but hey who cares?
It is excellent when you finish school - go around laughing at people in school uniform, remembering "I use to have to do that" - and now they do mahahahahhaha. I'm guessing youare at school - not at a in bewteen school and uni place?

I'm at school... but I haven't worn a uniform in 3 years. The school that I go to (every school of the level, almost) is sponsored by a university. I actually take some clases with the people in uni and all. I have teachers who also give classes down there ('cause our high school campus is on a hill above the uni one) and I have access to the gym, library, and well... If I pass an examination, I can go into the school, no problem. But I'll prolly change unis anyway. crazyness.

Haven't worn uniform for 3 years? I just got out of wearing it for 13. blah At my old school the new maths co-ordinator is giving uni lectures, but there is no proper connection between the school and the uni
Anyways - had first day of uni yesterday, made me realise that I nearly have forgotten all my log laws and reminded me that inequalities with absolute values are evil.

Inequalities with absolute values are evil? Bleh... if you say so. I wore it for... 13 years too, yeah, cause preschoolers wear it, and i had 4 years of that, then 6 of primary school and then another 3 of secondary school... so as of the end of May, I will have been going to school for SIXTEEN years. Oh God. I'm only 18. This is depressing. I've hardly ever been school-free.

Your preschool had a uniform? My preschool had a shirt that was optional - it had a clown on it. Generally people wore whatever they wanted.
Methinks you do too much school - I've done 15 (including 2 years preschool, but that was mainly running around doing art), and I'm on a age of 17, so working out the percentage, 88.2% of my life has been at school. For you 88 8/9 % of your time has been at school. That .6 repeater makes the world of diference

At 17/18 I'd hardly ever been school free either.
Now I haven't been in school for a few years I really miss it. School was so much easier and more fun than work is. Work sucks.

Work does suck - but then so does school. Uni is fun (at the moment). I started at 3.30pm, meant to finish at 7.30pm but the lecturer decided that two hours was too long for us to listen to her and we will all fall asleep and then started to tell us how she fall asleep during horror movies. She also told us a story, about a guy who fell asleep in a computer science lecture (so mainly guys). The lecturer let him sleep and told the next class to be quite so he could continue sleeping. As it turned out the next class was a dance class (with lots of girls), so he had an interesting experience when he woke up. So much more interesting then procedural programming theory

I'm about to graduate and I can't stand it! I keep thinking that most of my friends I'll never go to school woth again, and we'll never work together, and we might move away, and I'll never see them again! Ok, that's a very dramatic thing to be thinking, but we're all being dramatic. We're taking exams in less than a month. I unfortunately lost my exam calendar though, so I cannot check out my exact exam dates... I will actually revise for exams, which is quite unusual in me. But major exams do that to you.
And though I don't want to graduate I also can't wait until I go to uni... it all sounds so interesting and whatnot. Besides, uni is big, so if next semester I feel like hiding out, it will be easy, and if I feel like meeting tons of people, which isn't likely, it would also be easy. Plus there's a great soccer team and a great baseball team. So I can't wait.
I don't know how to program.
Heh, and how is uni now Pyro? After like a month and a half or something?

Uni is still good - got my mid term break now so even better I never had your dilema - I only had 3 close friends at school and I've kept in contact with them. The rest I don't care about - and quite a few I'm very happy that I don't need to talk to them again. I attemped to revise for english and religion - did about a day worth for english - final mark 72/100, about 20 minutes for religion (i was planning a mornings worth, but i got bored and did maths) - final mark 41/50. Maybe I shouldn't have bothered. How big are your exams - my finals were worth 50% of my mark, and about 60 000 people did them (well did the first part of the english exam anyway) mmm ramblings

It was like that at my old school but it's not like that now... But there's people in my grade in general that I am glad I'll never have to see again, but there's 600 people in my grade or 700 or something... there's this girl who's always following me everywhere and says I'm her best friend but I can't stand her most of the time and she makes me feel bad... yeah, I'm glad I'll never have to see HER again...
My IB exams, in some subjects, are worth as much as 80% of my final mark... But I think that's just maths... and, oh, history.... And then in lit they are only 50%, but in most subjects they're around 70%, so yeah... but bleh, still no revision. Only 40 people are doing them in my school, and like... 250 in the whole city, so yeah. Back to school in 2 days. Yuck.
