Getting really tired of people who do nothing but complain without contributing. Also, I'm waiting for some information on enrollment in classes.

Loves a good question
My computer has gone from just overheating and shutting down to a constantly noisy, rattling fan plus the overheating and shutting down. I don't know why I even bother to clean it out; it clearly doesn't make a difference.
I call it pop, and have never been further south than any US state bordering Canada.

That's what finally drove me to build myself a new computer.
Of course now my issue is my copy of microsoft office won't work, it says the cd key isn't valid everytime I put it in. I need to do a paper but my other computer just goes through an infinite rebooting cycle, I'm guessing from not using it in a few weeks it's gotten completely covered in dust. God damn I hate Microsoft, if it wasn't for having just building this new computer and wanting games I'd never buy a microsoft product again.
BFvietnam keeps asking me to insert a CD to play multiplayer. Like, hello, I have a CD in right now that's the only way you'll even let me get to this screen, you dumb computer!
Also, BTS won't play anymore after only one week of playing it
so I am probably going to have to return it... sigh

I'm just not happy.
Do you know why?
I simply just did not have the energy to do much today. Just staying awake requires concentration.
And seriously, the Australian (Victorian) school system is highly screwed up. All the materials that should have been covered during the first four years of high school is being crammed in year 11 and year 12. I'm so overwhelmed by all the new stuff I have to take in every subject now that I just give up trying to make sense of them sometimes. And alright I'm not exactly a great student but it doesn't help that teachers are rushing through everything. It's not that there are no good teachers in my school but they're teaching the other classes. And in those subjects where I actually get decent teachers there are real morons in my classes who simply refuses to understand the work we've been doing and hold the whole class back.

Sometimes I wish they had made us work just a little bit harder in Years 7-11.
This. I was a real loner back in those days, and I wouldn't mind more homework. I think about high school students from other parts of Asia and how they learn about the stuff I'm doing now in physics and chemistry back when they were in years 9 - 10 and couldn't help wondering...
Speaking of which, I rant that I got an assessment task today, which involves researching a fair chunk of the next topic, so school doesn't have to teach it to us.

For those of you who don't know I live in Georgia, and Georgia has a nice little program called the HOPE scholarship in which students with 3.0+ grade point averages have the state pay for their tuition and housing, (essentially it's a free ride through college). Of course I got my grades for this semester today and my cumulative GPA had to end up as 2.9. Great. Now only 3 semesters and $12,000 before I get another shot at it.

I didn't do any homework until year 12, by which point it was too late to teach myself decent study habits because I had almost no experience of how to get homework done to draw on.
I'm kind of lucky in that I got some practice in Year 11 (I did a HSC subject a year early), but it still is pretty hard to overcome the sudden hurdle of mountains of work. Some nights (like tonight), I just can't bring myself to do anything, even though I know that I've got to do a fair bit before Friday.
