Well, at least I have always been the left side of the comic.

Only some seniors get to experiance senior laziness. Eg: My friend who is taking two art classes, two study halls, and a gym class. He only has two actual classes (Bio Minnesota and Psychology).
 
We have one who has over 100 unexcused absences for the year. If you have 3 in any class you fail for the semester.
 
That is harsh. Here, if you have more then ten in a class you fail the class (can be reduced to pass/no credit if there are mitigating circumstances).
 
It's super easy to get them excused. Only unexcused ones count towards one. What is stupid is that 3 tardies count as an unexcused absence, that cannot be excused.
 
Im a freshman in high school and usually I leave for school with 9-5 minuted left to get there unpack, and get to class. Im usually on time too :lol:. Most of the time is spent sprinting from my home to my locker. The thing that pisses me off though is that my study hall teacher would be more likely to give me a detention for being late that my gym or biology teacher. I mean its a study hall , why can I not be 30 seconds late?!?
 
Don't go to the detention. Tell the teacher to [blank] off!
 
I can attest (unfortunately, only with hearsay) that that is a Very Bad Idea (TM).
 
Hopefully people recognized that as sarcasm.
 
My first uni assessment is confusing me. I have no idea where to start. The subject is hard, and the assessment is vague. It's not worth anything (but compulsory), and I would probably care about it less if I understood it. We have to write a 'critical review' on an article (we get to choose from a selection, but it'd take half a day to read them all, so it's more a matter of picking the one with the interesting title). The article is about stuff that I don't understand, and that we haven't even come close to covering in class. I think I basically have to critique an assessment of Schumpeter, Machiavelli and Kant and their views on liberalism and global politics, without actually knowing who those people are or what they say other than from what the article that I am critiquing has told me. I'm pretty sure they don't expect us to actually investigate the works of those three guys, because that would be absurd for an introductory assessment. But I'm confused as to what exactly I am meant to do. And how I'm meant to do it. I could bullcrap my way through reasonably well (drawing on what we have actually learned, and using textbooks as references), but I think other references are expected. But I have no idea what, or where to start.

It's too far to the bottom of the pool.
 
don't worry, people will like you more eventually. it all takes time for them to smarten up, or for you to confront them.
 
you realize, criticizing me will not make me learn? it will just make me more evil, out of spite.
