Post subject: | Yearly update/ranting |
Since I don't post very often I thought it was a rather fitting title ![]() Anyway, I've been busy and kind of forgot to visit the forums every now and then, which resulted in a lot of unread posts and an "I'll read it when I have time" mentality, and that time is now, although I've given up to read everything ![]() Hm... Well I've passed my exams and got my Gymnasium diploma with 8s and 9s (with a 9 for physics, how ironic. It used to be my worst subject, but it seems it's quite logical if you spend some time actually studying it. Ha, my teacher even approached me on graduation day, praising my insight. Funny little man). I've decided to go to University College in Utrecht next year, although I still don't have a clue what to study there. Can't wait to move there and live at my school! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Furthermore I am glad to say I actually learned something from my English teacher. I heard from multiple people that they too thought the grades we got for our practice oral exams were too low (60 students, even those with averages of 9 and higher, rarely got an 8 and never higher), so I asked my classmates if I should write a letter to object, they agreed, I wrote a letter, signed it with our class, sent it to my classmates with the question if they'd reply if they didn't agree and went to it to the dean. On the first day of the oral exams - I was the second of all who had these exams - I went into the classroom and was immediately accused of accusing her of false charges, that I would have to face the consequences and that the punishment would not be light etc. etc. After that I had my oral exam. It seemed the girl before told her I wrote that letter, which was in my opinion rather weak, since she had multiple occasions to tell me she didn't want to be a part of 'my rebellion' and even if she didn't agree, she didn't have to mention my name ![]() What else... hm... Well I've reached the glorious age of 18, had a dozen driving lessons from a 70-year old man who is married to a 28-year old Iranian woman who studies to become a dentist, I started drinking beer and other alcoholic drinks (since it was hard to convince society to stop drinking alcohol, I decided I could better start before I went to University). I discovered I had a fanclub, someone actually drew a portrait of me and put it on the internet ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Yo DA! Nice to hear from you again man. ![]() Some rather fascinating things in that rant, haha. Don't worry too much about the 'where will my degree get me' thing. You'd be surprised where people end up even with a very particular diploma. People with a masters in history becoming communications experts, industrial engineers becoming translators, ppl with no degree at all become managers...it's all there. ![]() And yeah, never put your neck on the line for others. Not if you're gonna be on the frontline yourself anyway. Try to pull the strings from behind and try to sail in between the conflicts between morons to a path that leads you to max profit. To quote PKD: 'Be humble, and you will escape the jealousy of the great'. ![]() Are you that small? I thought you were Dutch? ![]() ![]() |
