Finals

Now I'm going to bitch and moan about finals.

Finals suck. I hate them. They cause me unnecessary stress and anxiety. They're worth too big a percentage of my grade. I mean, 25%! What if I couldn't sleep the night before? Really shady stuff... at least its not college where the final is my entire grade or something like that. Plus, why do you think what you're testing me on is so damn important? Knowing what Lincoln said in his first inaugural address isn't going to get me a job, buy me a house, get laid, be in a good relationship, buy me an ELP or Yes album. Hell, it won't even buy me a drink. And why are you evil teachers always looking at me like I'm an idiot! I do well in your classes, thank you very much. I toil and sweat and toil and sweat so I can learn the petty bullsh*t you teach me. AGH!

f*ck Finals!

why did you post that in this topic...?

Exams suck.

I didn't revise for mine and I did fine. Look where I am now.

And where is that exactly?

In YOUR hands, my dissatisfied fellow-countrymen, and not in MINE, is the momentous issue of civil war. The government will not assail YOU. You can have no conflict without being yourselves the aggressors. YOU have no oath registered in heaven to destroy the government, while I shall have the most solemn one to "preserve, protect, and defend it."

I am loathe to close. We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.

 

 

I don't know Sweetnighter there has to be something you can take with you from that.   Even if it is we have no one who says and believes things like this  in this country right now.
