Nah, s'just that I left all my friends behind and went to a new school. I'm hideously lonely, and my new school is... heaven. you can play EQ on the school computers ("DAMMIT STOP TRAINING ME!" is yelled accross the halls, met only with giggles. Then the trained person stomps into the other guy's room, takes over and kills his character five times ). The work is actually stimulating, not like the crap in normal schools.

I wish i had an opporotunity like that.
I wish my parents had helped me to find opporotunities like that.
But no. I got to go through the OH SO WONDERFUL american public school system, where the intelligent kids are harassed endlessly, have things thrown at them during lunch, get shoved to the ground while teachers turn a head and suspend the kid that defended themself...
I could care less about being able to play games during school hours or what not. What I wish I had a chance at was to be among others who feel like me, not who get mad at you for answering a question in class, or when you get one wrong and the class ends up getting a pop quiz.
Sol, you are extremely lucky. I envy you. [ 08-16-2001: Message edited by: Falaanla Marr ]

So so so so true, It's that way in Iowa Land too... =(
But as to schools, I think I got really lucky with my public school. We had a REALLY sucky football team, so sports really were not the be-all and end-all of student cariculum. However, our marching band, jazz band and drama clubs all took home 1st or 2nd, with a rare 3rd place prize in state competitions. Choir was almost as good, but I think they were more 2nd and 3rd place, without many 1sts.
So although we were still the "geeks" and got picked on by the football team and cheerleaders, we also knew that we had something we could be proud of. And, considering that between band/choir/drama/stage crews, we encompased more than half of the student population.... well, we had a bit of force behind being able to simply ignore or fight back (rarely) against the "popular" crowd.
And we were always the pets of the teachers, so any fights that did occur, were usually not blamed on us.

Not a day goes by I don't think of doing that.
But I suppose this school year is different.
1. I'll have access to Code Red Mt. Dew at all times.
2. I'm taking some lovely electronics classes.
3. No math classes. The sheer overload of homework in those classes drained my will to do any work for any other classes. I figure I'll just teach myself calc since I practicly did that with pre-calc last year.
