Inception ::Try as you may, sometimes you just can't smile, pretend that everything is fine and you're just tired of it.

Yeah, exactly, that's what I'm saying. Smile

Ok, we sometimes pretend that everything is fine, we smiley, but sometimes it isn't just pretending, it's about forgetting those bad things, even if it's just for a moment. Smile



And just because I'm always so cheerful, smiling, happy, doesn't mean that I don't have problems of my own.
I just choose not to show it to others.

mcrule ::...
Well, I guess I want to get in better shape, and get even more stronger.
...

Just a quick note for everyone that is following this tread.
The part in the quotation that is coloured red is grammatically incorrect.

It should say "stronger" (strictly grammatically speaking), although in some cases it is acceptable to use "more strong" (this is also considered incorrect, especially in writing, but can pass in verbal communication)



As for the New Year's Resolution, well I don't have one per se, but I do have goals which are not in a relation to the beginning of a new year Mr. Green Furthermore, I find it unnecessary to have to have a reason (such as the beginning of a year) to set some goal for myself.

Inception ::You use per se a lot. Mr. Green
Well, I find it very useful Mr. Green

ThePhilosopher ::New Year, capitalisation --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Year
Bolded part in the quotation below is an intentional omission.

bluewortex ::As for the New Year's Resolution, well I don't have one per se, but I do have goals which are not in a relation to the beginning of a new year Mr. Green

This, however, was not an intentional omission Mr. Green

Not quite. You could say that I am involved in observation of the degradation of the human race Mr. Green Mr. Green Mr. Green

Anyhow, for those that are not familiar with the term "graveyard shift", that is the work shift during the night. It is also called (in dependence of the work) the night shift, third (3rd) shift, dogwatch, anchor watch.

I told him to give classes to earn some extra money.
I'm pretty sure that some professors would attend these classes Mr. Green

How do you guys feel when a professor/teacher doesn't know how to teach?


I mean, if he can't pass down his knowledge to young minds, if he doesn't know hot to teach, then why the hell did he even become a freaking professor/teacher in the first place?! GUZ - Glavom U Zid


God I hate those people...
I mean, I don't hate anyone literally, but it pisses me off. Mr. Green

And...

... There are those professors/teachers whose classes are sooooooo boring, and then later they wonder why aren't the children learning anything... Bebee Dol
The whole IDEA of this school system is wrong, the whole concept, it's just wrong...


And everyone is blaming the kids, for not paying attention... Telling them they should take a pill like it's their fault.

The teacher's/professor's job is to find a way, get to them, try to reach them, 'make' them focus... pay attention.
But those REAL professors/teachers are soooooo rare... I mean, every school has like maybe 1-2 of them.


I remember I had a teacher like that, and maaaaan, he was great, he CARED, he had his ways...
While other teachers/professors just wanted to get it of their schedule, so that they can go to other classes and then home, this guy... he wasn't rushing things. He didn't care about that schedule, and that he get it in time, he only cared if the kids learned something.
Now that's a definition of a teacher/professor! Not those scumbag teachers that are taking it out on children because they have some kind of problems... private problems or whatever...
Some of them are really mean.

Now, what I would like to know is which experience did you have?
Did you have any good/bad teachers/professors in high school/college?
Describe them.



And what do you think about our school system? out education? Ziveli
