SR VIII: Vander Got Run Over By A Reindeer!

I go to an all boys catholic school... 'nuff said :( HOLY CRAP, you're Catholic!? HIGH FIVE, BITCH! Papist bros for life!   I used to be in favor of gender segregated schools, but looking back on my life, I'm not convinced they're a net positive. I know kids are always sociopaths, but it seems like when everybody is the same gender it gets more vicious because there aren't the opinions of the girls/boys softening your behavior. And I am really glad I switched to coed high school halfway through, because I would have been the creepiest motherf**ker in college if I hadn't.

Everyone at my school are pricks except for 9% of them who are either future pedofiles or special ed kids. Then the other 1% are decent people.

I hardly know any girls because I go to an all boys school which sucks, although the nearby public school is nice to head over to every now and then. I would go to a co-ed school for year 11 and 12 if my parents would let me, but pretty much all of the coed schools in my state are government funded and in Australia every government school is absolute sh*t. At least from an educational perspective.

Yeah, I'm starting to think private schools being soooo much better is overrated too, at least in the US. If you care you can get AP stuff, which is challenging for anybody. It would suck to have five hours of homework, but maybe if I had to actually do work in high school I wouldn't be a f**king failure right now.

I was listening to Incubus a few days back and was getting pretty nostalgic for middle school. I was at least in a band and was a bit popular, in a tangential way. I would do over high school so much, if I could.

I would too. I agree to a previous statement of yours, Henry. If I could go back in time I would beat myself senseless.

Also, Henry's next post will be his 5000th.

I was posting here when I was 16. 



...Sometimes have mixed feelings bout that.

If the site's still around 25 years from now...I'll probably still be an active member, unless something causes me to leave.

It would be awesome, you could chronicle your life by your posts, which would be fun. I wonder when I will become an inactive member of PA.

And WTF, my parents just offered to get me a $250,000 dollar medical degree course when I'm 18 if I want to/don't make the grades to do it through a normal university.
Now even I think I won't get the grades to make it And I don't even want to do medicine anymore!

FFFFFFFFFFFFFIVE THOUSAND!

Stonie, one good thing about posting here is that you know how many posts you made. Bungie.net disable their post counter so I have no idea how much I posted there since 2004, but I'm sure it was a lot.
