Oddly connective

There are a few things I've noticed more than anything else since I've started going back to school. The main one being that the worse a persons mark is in a course the more they try to justify it by saying it's not important for what they want to do. I have news for all of you, if you fail a class, it drags down your oh-so-lovely average which in turn makes people (namely bursary and scholarship people) think that you're stupid. What does that mean? Less money for your slacker ass. Post secondary is a lot different from high school too people, you can't just go in with the mentality that you can get by with the same amount of work that you did back then. High school was a joke, I did nothing and still got the marks I needed to do what I wanted to do. Now I work pretty hard to get the marks I'm getting now, but I still maintain that it's because I dished out the money for this course thus it's my damned investment that I don't want to screw up. And then you get John Doe who never shows up and puts microscopic amounts of effort in and he can't understand why he failed the midterms. Yes there's a certain event that I'm pissed about right now, no it's not about you. Chances are that if you can read this site that I won't have anything in here that will be about you, so please stop asking.

Can you spare two minutes?

Alright so I know this is pretty much a yearly thing for me but in all honesty it's something I view as very important. It's again coming to that time of year, Remembrance Day. Now I know most of you may have long since stopped caring about it, thinking "it happened such a long time ago, why should I care?" Well you should care because no matter who you are or where you're from, the great war touched your family in some way. Which in turn would have trickled down and affected you as well. My family was in Ukraine at the time and a large amount of them (especially the men) were killed. If Things had been different back then my great grandmother may not have been able to flee, which would mean I wouldn't be here right now either. So people I ask you to show some respect for those who fought and died for their homeland Also, check out this site, it's a pretty decent movie that I've already sent out to some.
